LONGEVITY.-Died in Harrison town

count we have had, she must have been at
least Us years of age. According to her
own account her father was soldier in
Queen Annc's wars-that getting a furlough
to go home, he found his wife with a fine
daughter in her arms, whom he called Anne,
after the Queen, as a toke of respect. In
IVA she went from Liverpool to London
with her mother, on a visit TO her brother.
While there she saw Lord I,o. EFT beheadcd.
She capc to the United States the year af-
ter Braddock's defeat, aged then 46 years.
Her husband was killed at the battle of
Point Pleasant, in l774 After that to av venge
his death, she joined the garrison, under the
command of Col. Wm. Clendenin, where she
renamed until the final departure of the In
dians from the country. She has always
been noted for intrepid bavcry. Col. Wm.
Clcndcnin says, while he was commander OF
the garrison where Charleston, kenhawa,
is now located, an attack by Indians was
hourly expected. On examination, it was
believed that the ammunition on hand was
insufficient to hold a siege Of any length.

distance of 100 miles, was like sending men
to be slaughtcred and to send larger force

state, Ann Bailey volunteered to leave the
fort i'll the night, and go to Lewisburg. She
did SO, and travelled the wilderness where
not the vestige of house was to be seen, ar
