Some years ago there was living in Virginia, a native of Ireland, who at the age of 109, was able to work at the taylor's trade without spectacles; and what renders this case more remarkable, he was naturally very intemperate, and would get drunk as often as he could get liquor. In the year 1776, died one Mr. Payne, in Fairfax, Virginia, upwards of 100 years of age. Died, November, 1782, in this city, Mr. Edward Drinker, almost 102, being born December 24, 1680, in Philadelphia. In the year 1782, there was living, near this city (and perhaps may be still living) a healthy negro woman, able to walk several miles in a day, and wash clothes, who was then, as near as she could tell, about 103.----She remembers her being brought to this city before any houses were built here. Died last summer, in New-York, Mrs. Slock, aged 108 years and one half. Last winter died at Jones's creek, a branch of Pee Dee, in North-Carolina, Mr. Mathew Bayley, aged 136: he was baptised when 134 years old; had good eye sight, strength of body and mind until his death. There was a woman living last winter, in Uxbridge, state of Massachusetts, of the name of Aldrich, and likely to live many years, who has 12 children, all living, and has lived till 25 of the fifth generation are born, the eldest of which is more than eleven years of age. Died on Tuesday the 1st inst. at Hudson, in New-York, Mrs. Christina de Lametter, in the 94th year of her age. She died merely of old age, without any kind of disease or fever; but descended very slowly and patiently to the bottom of the hill of life. She was a woman, who, through life, has been remarkable for her silent resignation to the divine will. What renders the last part of her life remarkable, is, that she lived 39 days without any sustenance whatever, except about two spoonfuls of wine with water daily; the vital motions and functions being so near a cessation, that the solids needed no reparation; yet she retained all her senses to the last moment. In the year 1774, died at Danvers, in Massachusetts, Mr. ---- Nelson, aged 106 years. _Massachusetts Gazette,_ Sept. 1, 1786. * * * * * STOCKHOLM, Aug. 8.
