A RFMARKABLE CASE or LONGEVITY Mr. Ed
win Gary, the missionary Of the Evangelical Home
Missionary Society of Kensinston, reports that no
visited Mrs. McElroy, residing at No 622 North
Third street, who viii be ono hundred and eight
years old on the 18th instant. Her maiden name
was Catharne Snip. She was born in Allentown.
Northampton county, Pennsylvania, on the 18th OF
July, l74f She inherits the constitution Of her
father, who was from Germany, and lived to bo
one hundred and seven years OF age. She remem-
bers the occurrence of the principal events Of the
revolution, and frequently provided food for the
American soldiers. She has n distant recollection
Of General Washington In 1890, when forty-six
years Of age, she was married to John McEiroy n
revolutionary soldier, by whom she had seven
children, four Of whom are low living two of them
being twins. She had a remarkably vigorous con-
stitution. and often assisted her husband in the mill
before they came to Philadelphia. She would take
up bag containing liz pounds Of -four with all
ease, and place it on the back Of horse. She still
retains much strength and activity, and would be
taken for woman Of 90 20, instead of l0S years
OF age Twenty.one years ago she received what
is termed second-sight, and can see as clearly
and distinctly as ever. She does all her house,
work; waits upon her youngest daughter fifty ono
years Of age, who has been blined for three years
past; ard attends a store shop, which they keep
in the front room. Her strength, however, Is be-
ginning to fail, and the labor and attention re-
quired Of her is more than she can long endure.
The daughter living with her has property in hex
own right, valued at $500, which some Of her
friends endeavorng to sell, that she may invest
the proceeds and receive a comfortable main
tenance. without being compelled to labor 20 hard.

LITTER FROM GEORGE WASHINGTON, RELATIVE TO
THE AMERICAN NOMINATION. roR THE WOE PREsI-

/ have seen published in various prints the pro
ceedings of the American National Convention, as
semtled at Trenton, New Jersey, on the 9th inst,
from which II appears was nominated as q candi-
date for Vice President of the United States.
No ofhoisl communication Of the fact has been
Ieceiyod by me, ana if any such has been made, it
has niscarricd.
Ny name having been thus unexpectedly pro-
sented to tho country, / cannot longer consent to
romain silent, ard therefore adopt this mode Of
responding to the ncmir ston.
feel highly honortd By being deemed worthy Of
such distinction. and by having my name ASSOC
Grated With that OF On eminent aud reyered citizen,
selected by the convention for tho office Of Presi
dent OF the United States.
Tho Baltimore Wing Convention has presented to
the nation, as candidates for the offices. the
names OF Winfield Scott and VIM. A. Graham. Those
nominations received my cordial assent, MS we'll as
my Jealous support. Ihave been on terms of friend
~ intercourse with Gen Scott for twenty years and
esteem him for his spotess character aud his frank
manly, and courteous bearing
respect him for bis talents, which have often
been severely tested, but which never failed him
der the most trying circumstances and admire him
for his military services, by which the character Of
his country has been elevated at homo and abroad
and which have been equallcd by man living or
dead, since tho days Of the Revolution. He freely
shed his blood in maintaining the honor Of his country
and her rights His patriotic devotion to the Union,
and conservative principles, and his firm support Of
the Compromise measures, cannot, in my belief, DO
questioned, without doing him great wrong and
Injustice.
Mr. Graham is unexccptionable, being respected
for his taonts. and extoed for his virtues, by all
who know him.
Entertaining these opinions Of tho candidates Of
the whig convention, and being finally and willingly
committed to their support, am constrained most
respectfully to decline the nomination Of the Anne
ricsn National Convention.

SPECIMENS OF NEWSPAPER LITERATURE, WITH
MEMOIRS. BY Jos. 7. Buckingham. Boston: Red
ding Co. New York Stringer & Townsend
This work, contained in two well bound volumes,
exhibits specimens Of the early newspaper litera-
ture in the United States chiefly that Of New Eng
land. ard the State of Massachusetts especially.
and presents many features Of curiosity and interest
especially when compared with the present advanced
state of newspaper literature and tactics Itappear
that the specimens do not extend beyond the yea
1SOO. and that third volume is contemplated
which must embrace much more interesting era
than the one now exhibited The author has given
us some rather interesting sketches of franklin
Isaiah Thomas, Benz. Russell, William Bentley, and
others. which serve much to eucidate the tone and
spirit OF the press ofihat period To those connected
with newspaper literature and politics, this work will
afford some curious information and entertainment.

to be published in numbers, the first Of which
is now before us. We hope it win be written
with that ability which such an interesting
subject demands, and that it will thereby take its
place among the standard literature of this country
The present number presents features of promise,
and the author appears to know the ground he
ought to take up, and the track which he has to fol-
low, to elucdate his subject in philosophical and
logical manner, which we trust will not be broken
in upon by any narrow-minded or party views, OF
feelings of political interest After this warming,
we shall keep our eye upon the work We hope the
author will not attempt to exhaust his subject.

ITEMS FROM HAvANA.-By the arrival OF the
steamer Cherokee, from Havana, we have received
files of the Gaccta de Ia Habana and Diar1o de la
Marina to the I'd inst. Their contents are almost
exclusively OF local interest, the most prominent
topics of discussion being the question of the estab
lishment OF telegraphs in the island, and the reduc
tion OF the value of the from $17, at which it
now circulates, to SIG, its intrinsic value Neither
OF these measures meet the appreciation of the Da,io
de la Marina.
The dryness of these discussions is relieved by an
occasional volunteer opinion that Mr. Pierce will be
elected President Of The United States and the fear
that Mr.. Sloo, or some other Yankee, will get Te-
huantepec.
The Gacaa publishes an order of the Captain
General, in relation to the announcement OF the
departure Of the American steamers the last para
graph Of which translate for the edifcation Of our
readers, and that they may how far truly pa

And considering that bya continuance OF the system
which has been adopted by the congnees in the depar

We congratulate our friends of the Steam Com.
pany that they escaped so lightly, and that the Co
vernon did not see fit to "chastse the pocket" as
the Spaniards elegantly express it,
From the tenor of the local items in the files we
should suppose the IIabaneros were having gay
times, with their balls, concerts, watering places,
and, lastly, bull fights which were to commence on
Sunday, the 9th ult.

leaving that port on the 18th for Tampico: leaves
