LONGEVITY.

The Philadelphia Ledger, under the
head of Local Longevity" gives a list
OF the persons whose deaths had been
announced in its columns who lived to
the age OF eighty or over, and died du-
ring The six months inst closed. This
list numbered 351, of whom 125 were
men and 226 women. Durinx the CORES.
ponding half year of 1876 the deaths
were similarly recorded OF 138 men and
242 women, a total of $50. During the
halt year just closed these records give
the usual proof Of the observation that
more women live to the ripe age OF
eighty than men, the female octogenari-
ans outnumberiug the males by large
per centage. A further analysis al lso
| shows that the females were the longest
lived, as the women who lived beyond
ninety are much more numerous than
the men, Id OF these being men and As
women.Fhe deaths of three centenarians
are recol ded. One of these WAS Phillip
Sheppard, butcher by occupation, who
died April +, leaving over fifty descend
ants, the youngest being OF the fifth
generation. He boasted that he had yo
ted at every election held IN Philadel
phla since he became of age, his first
vote being cast for Thomas Jefferson foI
President, 1896, when Jonn Adams was
| elected. Julia Ann Reese, a native OF
| Ireland and market woman, died in
May, aged l03. Francis Creeser, a col
ored man, born in New Jersey, who dieo
| IN February, was said to have attained
| the great age of lis years, though nt

AHEAD, AS UsUAL.-The GAZETTE,
yesterday, in its third edition, gave to the
public exclusive intelligence ofthe open
ing of the proposals for the completion OF
Cool Spring Reservoir, and published
complete list of the bids. The import
ance of the information was attested by
an unusually heavy demand for papers,
and our press was kept running constant
ly until q late hour before the demand
ceased.
We mention this incident not in a
spirit of self-laudation, but simply to
call public attention 10 the fact that in
promptly furnishing the people with in
teresting and important local information,
the GAZETTE invariably takes the lead.
Although not so freely addicted to elbow
ing ones own trumpet" as our more con-
ceited but less enterprising contemporaries,
the GAZETTE aims at all times to give its
readers the fullest local information pos
sjble to be obtained, while its general
miscellaneous and telegraphic depart.
ments are always complete and interest
ing. In quantity and quality of reading
matter, combined with cheapness of price
it far excels the other journals of thi:
city, and its constantly increasing circu
lation is an ample attestation of this as
sertion.'
In future, as in the past, the GAZETTE
will endeavor to stand foremost in tn,
ranks of city journalism, and furnish th,
people with paper which, as vehicl
OF news and medium of advertising
will be equaIled by no other paper il
the city. Its cheapness places it within
the reach of all, while its general excel
lence cannot fail to commend it to tn
public.

The cause of tn falling off in fresh
beef expectations is not whole or in part
to be ascribed to ''the extreme warm
weather of the past two months" but
simply and solely to the lack of profit in
the business as conducted by inexperi-
enced exporters here and by inefficient
selling agencies abroad. The wasteful
drain upon our supplies of fat cattle and
little speculative forcing business have
carried the prices of cattle here about two
and one-half cents per pound of dressed
weight higher than the current rates a
year ago, while the fuller supplies Object
IN England and Scotland have prevented
any material advance in the value of beef
abroad. Thus the margin for profit
which made beef expectation a success
last year when ice was exceptionally
high has been changed to certainty OF
loss this summer when ice is compare
lively cheap. Even now there would be
profit in the business if American beef
could 60 to the English consumer at its
actual value as compared with British
beef. And the English people will be
glad to learn that arrangements are now
making for the establishment of retail
shops in all the cities and principal town.
