Philadelphia Longevity.
(Pitts5urg Chronicle.1

Over six hundred persons of those
who died during the last year, in Phil
adephia, were octogenarians, OF which
nearly four hundred we're women The
statistics, gotten up by the Ledger, show
that the women living over eighty con
siderablv outnumbered the men; but,
also, that they were the .longest-lived,
there being many more women than
men who lived beyond ninety. OF the
latter there were fifty-two persons, four
teen men and thirty eight women. The
deaths Of seven centennarians were re-
corded during the year, all of them
women. The oldest SO recorded was
Bridget McQuaid, who attained the rare
age OF one hundred and six years. She
WAS native Of county Fermanagh, Ire
land, and came to this country thirty.
