LONGIVITT IN TRH NORTH RIDING Or YOILESITZIL
In the Bichsnosui and Ripon Chronicle of leterrday
is recorded the deathe of 13 persons whose united ages
amount to 1,065 years The oldest is 96, the next 94,
and so on in succession, 89, 86, 85, 82, 80, 79, 75, 73.
The lowest in the list are, what may be called ha fame of
these figures, two young ladies, each of 71 years of age.
Besides this remarkable instance of longevity, there is
a notice of the death of lady at "an advanced age," by
which it may be presamed that all record of her birth
has been forgotten, BO far distant is the time when she
was ushered into this world.
The woman Mary Timmy, now lying under sentence
of death at Dumfries, for the murder of a neighbour,
Ann Hannah, bas made • confession of her crime to
the gaol chaplain. If the miserable woman can be be-
lieved the crime would seem to in to he more of man-
slaughter than murder. The Lord Advocate hag
been furnished with the woinan's statement, and
has layed it before the Home Secretary, who has
intimated to the proper autberities that there is not
allinOjea grounds fer interfering with the extreme
sente.ice being carried into effect, whish will take place
this day, (Tuesday).
