REMARKABLE LoNGEvITY.-Mrs. Patsey
Allen. resident of CIoverdale township, in
this county, has attained to a most extraordi-
nary age. She was born in Orange county,
North Carolina, in March, 1744, and is now
aged one hundred and sixteen years. Her
mental faculties are considerably impaired,
yet she can converse freely, can walk about
the house, and says her appetite is as good
as ever. She is the mother of eight chill
dren, two of whom were born during the
revolutionary war, and four OF whom are
still living. She came to Putnam county q
widow about twenty-five years since, and is
now living with her youngest daughter. A
near neighbor of Mrs. Allen furnishes US
these facts, and vouches for their authentici-

house, an unprotected orphan" answered
Joseph.
"Where did you go TO school y
+" Sir, my mother has been a widow
ever since can remember. She was th,
daughter of village school master, ant
having to maintain me and herself will
her needle, she took the opportunity o.
her leisure hours to teach me not only tc
read and write, but to cast up accounts
"And did she give you that penny
which saw you unroll SO carefully at the
doors"
Joseph stood amazed, but at length re-
piled, with great emotion, and tear stood
in his eye: Eyes, sir, it was the very
last penny she gave me-"
swell Joseph, so satisfied am l of your
conduct, that not only do pay you a
months wages willingly for the time you
have been here, but | must beg of you to
fulfill the duties of collecting clerk for
our firm, which has become vacant by the
death of very old and faithful assistant.
Joseph thanked me in the most unas-
suming manner, and | was asked to take
care of his money, since had promised to
provide him with suitable clothing for his
new occupation.
1t will be necessary to relate how step
by step this poor country lad proceeded
TO win the confidence of myself and part
ner. The accounts were always correct
to a penny; and when his salary became
due, he drew out of my hands no more
than he absolutely needed even 10 a pen
ny. AT length he had saved sufficient
sum of money to be deposited in the
bank.
1t so happened that one of our custom
ers, who carried on successful business,
wanted an active partner. This person
was of eccentric habits and considerably
advanced in years. Scrupulously just he
looked on every penny, and invariably dis
charged his workmen, if they were not
equally scrupulous in their dealings with
him.
Aware Of this popularity of temper,
there was no person / could recommend
but Joseph, and after overcoming the re-
pugnance of my partner, who was un-
willing to be deprived of SO valuable an
assistant, Joseph was duly received into
the firm of Richard Fair, Brother & Co.
Prosperity attended Joseph in his new
undertaking, and never suffering a pennys
difference to appear in his transactions, he
so completely won the confidence of his
senior partner, that he left him the whole
Of his businoss---as he expressed it in his
will, "even to the last penny"
