A VENERABLE LADY.-A correspondent Of the
Farmont True yirgnian. writes that paper as
follows:
While sojourning with some friends few
months ago in Upshur county. saw and became
acquainted with a lady who is one hundred and
six years old. She was in fine spirits and enjoy
ed good health, for one Of her extreme age. Mrs.
Catright (for such is her name, emigrated with
her husband soon after the close Of the Revolu-
tonary war, to the neighborhood in which she
still resides, her husband having died many years
ago Being blest with retentive memory; this
good old lady can interest any one with whom she
conyerses, with amusing anecdotes of oldcn times;
especially is her account of the difficulties with
the Indians in the early settlement of Virginia in
teresting; She is the mother of two daughters
and four sons, has thirty-nine grandchildren, and
as nearly a. can be ascertained, the same number
of descendants Of the fourth generation, making
total of three hundred and sixty five souls.
