Athens, July 29.--Occasionally one hears of an individual who has {attained a more advanced age than our "oldest resident," yet very few perhaps at her age are still mistress of a home and performing the daily routine of household tasks. In April last, Mrs. Wilson Riley, Wellington street, celebrated her ninety-third birthday, and, though her hearing is somewhat impaired and her sight is slightly dimmed, yet she and her aged husband attend to their duties unaided, except when a friend or neighbor drops in to lend a helping hand. This remarkable old lady was born on the farm mow owned by Adam Hawkins, just south of the village on the Charleston road. She is the last surviving member of a family of fourteen children born to the late James Wiltse and his wife, Mary Coleman. Her grandfather, Joseph Wiltse and family, escaped to Can- ada from the States during troublous times, the wife and children being placed on the back of a faithful black horse who swam the St. Law- rence river at Prescott, the husband HTL ~r~was thinkin' last night how awful lonesome it would be if Papa hadn't married into our family."

The funeral was held, on Sunday, at the Roman Ca- tholic church and the remains were buried in the Methodist cemetery. E. Douglas and wife and Mrs. Pome- roy, Buffalo, N.Y., are the guests of L. P. Wells. They intend leaving for Napanee, Thursday morning, en route to Buffalo. Miss Woodman, with a party of ten girls and boys, called on Eulalia Floyd, Sunday last, and spent the afternoon. G. H.
