It is with deep regret we have to mention the
sudden death of 1)r. laviNc, minister of Little
Dunkeld. While attending the examination of
the Grammar School of Dunkeld on Friday last,
anti in the act of addressing the pupils, he was
attacked by apoplexy, which terminated fatally
at six o'clock the following morning. In Dr.l
Irvine the labouring classes in a wide extent of
country, have lost an active, intelligent, and
steady friend.--( Perth Courier.)
An old lady in this town, of the age of 86,
who had lost all her teeth several years ago, has, to the asto-
nishment of her friends, cut six new teeth within these few
months, and, as may be supposed, enjoys no small satisfaction
at being able once more to bite a crust. But there is an old
gentleman living not many doors from her, upwards of 97
years of age, who has not lost one of his teeth, and is able to
crack the hardest sea-biscuit. . hat is still more remarkable,
he can read and write without the aid of spectacles.—About
three years ago we took occasion to mention that there were
six persons living within a few doors of each other, whose
united ages amounted to 508 years, but the two above men-
tioned alone remain to tell the adventures of the notable year
of ds.—(Dun ties Journal.)
Yesterday ut two o'clock a serious accident
occurred immediately opposite Saint George's
Church, in the Borough, to a Mrs. Allen, the
wife of an officer of the Borough Court of Re-
quests. She was crossing the street at the mo-
ment the bend preceding the procession of a club
of tradesmen was passing ; and the sound of the
instruments causing a horse in an empty town-
cart to take fright, the animal knocked her down,
and the wheels passed over her body. Mr. ()W-
-ing, surgeon, opposite, had her immediately con-
veyed to a bed in his house, where she continued
for four hours, experiencing every possible atten-
tion, and from whence she was taken home in
much injured state.
