"A very pleasant party of eye old
folks" assembled last week Monday at
the residence OF Mrs. Betsey Gibson,
widow Of the late DR.. John Gibson, the
occasion being the ninetieth birthday OF
Mrs. Gibson. Eatables 10 abundance
were carried in, aud the party enjoyed
the visit very much, az did Mrs. Gibson.
Old times furnished the staple Tor much
conversation. Mrs. Gibson was found to
have web of cloth in the loom with
yards woven. She thought she would
be able to get il out by Christmas. Near
ly all of the persons assembled (24) were
old people, who live in this immediate
vicinity. The united ages of IL present
footed up 907 years, while the ages of
6 aggregated 4S9 years, or an average OF
81 10 years.
"A very singular case (Which the
writer believes has not been "written
up") exists 10 the town of Winhall, in
the person of Frank Rabbit, young
man who has just attained bis majority.
Early in the spring of ~ he had an at
tack of pneumonia, which did not break
up in the usual manner, but an abscess
formed In the thorax upon the left lung,
which finally extended outward In the
form of a severe swelling. After consul.
tation with several physicians, it was
lanced in July following by DR.. Spring
Of Jamaica. Upon being lanced 1t dis
charged large quantity Of pus, and has
continued to discharge, though in smaller
quantities. up to the present time, with
no more apparent prospect of heA ing
than there vas five years ago. The
young gentleman is very poor in flesh,
wears Nh emaciatcd look, resembling
one IN the last stages Of consumption,
aud eats more than two healthy, hearty
lneH. The nature OF the matter dlscharg-
ed differs considerable al different tunes.
THE common opinion that the discharge
proceeds from the lungs Is erroneous.
II is more probable that the absces- has
resulted Ia he formation Of pyogenic

uembranous wall about Il TO protect

And ibe reason why IL does not heal is
owing to scrofulous cachexy, or gener-
al depr sved state Of the body, which pre-
