The list of people whose ages exceed
20, running through the JOURNAL for
the past few issues, have involved much
work. The list is interesting as showing
the unexpected number that resided In
the county. Springfield township is
especially fortunate, the number there
exceeding 80. We have added those of
each township and find total of 596,
being little more than 2 per centum Of
the whole population OF the county.
VIII SOME one tell us If this shows de-
crease OF the average Of human life. An
aged friend has asserted that he believes
the average age is increasing. We will
venture the assertion that the average
age of the 500 will exceed ~ years.
