BEDDING.

For the second time within q few years, Bedding has been deprived by death of the distinction of numbering among it's inhabitants centenarian. A short time ago, Mrs Polly GoOdsell died lacking but a few months of rounding out hundred years and on Friday last Stephen Adams, the oldest man in town, died, aged 99 years, one month and l3 days. This ven erable man, who had a distinct recOllec- tion of the death of Washington, retain ed his faculties to the very last. Of q vigorous constitution, his health was never impaired by sickness or eXcesses of any kind. He never used tobacco in any form and, though not total abstainer from intoXicants, used them with moder- ation. He never used glasses and could see to read by the aid of the old fashion ed tallow dip and could sign his name without tremor. He was the son of Hezekiah Adams and Betty Parsons, who were among the earliest settlers of the town. It is related of Hezekiah that, too young to enlist in the Continental army, he entered the service as teamster and, on one occasion, drove a wagon loaded with Spanish dollars to Baltimore. The subject of our sketch belonged to long lived family, his brother Lemuel dying about a year ago aged 9S. The funeral services took place, at the house, Rev w. w. Jennings officiating. The interment was in Bethel. He left two children, Henry, we'll known carpenter and q daughter residing in Bethel.
