THE OLDEST WOMAN IN THE WoR6p.
The Charleston Standard claims
that Mrs. Singleton, of Williamsburg
District, s. G., who Is in the one hun
dred and thirty-tirst year Of her age,
and hearty ut that, is tho oldest wo-
man in tho world. The Standard
says.
Her mental faculties are still unim-
paired, and she retains all her senses
except that Of sight, Of which she WA
deprived ut the advanced age Of ninety
nine years, by an attack of measles.
Her bodily energy exhibits no dilnin-
ution for many years, she being still
able to walk briskly about the room.
She has outliyed all her children, her
eldest defendant living being grand
daughter over sixty years old. The
first granddaughter of this grand
daughter, il now living would be over
sixteen years old. We have not learn
ed the place Of Mrs. Singleton's nativ-
ity, but the greater portion Of her life
has been spent in Williamsburg.

ACCEPTABLE A1D.-A delegation from that
band Of good Samaritans, the Howard Associa-
ton, Of New Orleans, headed by d. /. RIcARDo,
ESQ.,, its Secretary, and accompanied by Dr.. G.
H. PORTER, arrived on Thursday, the 18th inst,
with q number Of nurses and full supply Of
such medicines as are requisite and necessary
for the treatment Of the fearful epidemic nov
prevailing among u.s. The aid was oppOrtune,
as our citizens, the few remaining who were
able to devote their time in attending to the
sick and dieing, had nearly tagged out for the
want Of repose. This act Of disinterested phil
anthropy on the part Of the Towards Of New
Orleans, will long remain green in the hearts
and affections Of our distressed fellow-citizens,
and in their behalf we return them hearty
thanks.

SrRAScE.-Among the deaths BY the prevail
ing epidemic was that Of an intelligent young
man who had been employed on the Opelousas
Rail Road. He was found in an old moss shed,
on the outskirts Of the town, laboring under a
very high fever, and conveyed to the Court
House-now being used by the Howard Associ-
alton as an In6rmary. Every attention was be-
slowed on the young stranger by the attending
physician, DR.. c. H. Porter, and the nurses.
When all hopes had fed Of arresting the disease
and restoring him to health, he was asked to
give his name, age, and place Of birth; to COM
ply with which, he at first peremptorily refused,
but finally gave his age and place Of his birth,
still refusing to divulge his name. He was a
native Of Haut Pyranees, France, and in the 2lst
year Of his age. He now sleeps the sleep Of
Death, in a strange land, far from his native
home and kindred, under the name Of "An I'm
known" Z

attention to the sick and dying, are beginning
to make their appearance in the streets. Early
yesterday morning as we were vending our
way to market to get our portion of beef sent in
for gratuitous distribution among our citizens
by some Of our kind hearted planters, we &C.
tually saw three persons assembled together at
one of our most frequented corners, and strange
to say, their conversation was relative to who
should be our next Senator to the State Legis-
lature. 1t may well be imagined that we were
not only surprised but pleased at the good sense
Of the group in having selected politics for a
theme instead Of the Yellow Fever, which has
been ringing in our ears for the last month.
We really felt relieved and prophesied that
Yellow Jack had run its course.
