We said few days ago that Belgrade
boasts Of an octogenarian. The individual is
John lockwood, Esq, who is in his 96th
year. He has lived on the same farm for
seventy years, and is the father Of seventeen
children, eight of whom are living. Three of
his children reside in this city. He has been
in the Board of Selcctmen of Belgrade four
teen years, has represented the town in the
Legislature when the sessions were held in
offices of trust and responsibility. Even in
his old age his mind is clear and his recollec-
tons of events half a century ago are vivid
and distinct. Such men are very rare in any
community.
