A Remark able Old Lady =,

Mrs. Elizabeth Powell, the mother of
George W. Powell, the well known fish
dealer in the Third street market, is a
remarkable lady for her age. She was
born in the county of Monworthshire,
England, and came over to America
years ago, when she was 81 years OF
age, and took up her abode with her
son George, over Third street bridge.
She has been the mother OF l6 children,
10 of whom are living and all married
and settled down IN the world. The old
lady is robust, healthy and active, and
from present appearances bids fair to
crowd the end OF the century in which
she is living. Mrs. Powell walks every
day on which there is a parket to her
son $ fish stall with his dinner, a dis
tance OF over mile, and instead Of feel
ing at all wrariad, she enjoys it. TO,
morrow will be- her SD birthday, when
all her children this sid. of the Allan
tic,wlll pay their respects to her and a
joyful time is anticipated. She has
sons living in this city, a son and q
daughter in Philadelphia, and a daugh,
ter in Richmond, Va. Her daughter in
Philadelphia has grandchildren. She
has son living in Australia, and heI
four other children still i've in Eng.
land. Mrs, Powell belongs to a long,
lived family, her father having lived tt
be l02 years Of age. Mrs. Powell has
been member of the Methodist church
over 50 years, and has bright pros
pect of b!isstul immortality when don,
with her loug and eventtul life in this
world. We wish the Powrlls happy
