Number over the age allotted to man, 129 : a large number, truly, - partly owing to a healthy climate, and partly to the fact that many of our young people remove from town.
Our town has been considered very healthy, as the loca- tion is away from any large bodies of water or swamps of any considerable size. Most of its territory is elevated to quite an extent ; the air is consequently pure and bracing ; diseases are few ; the people industrious, economical, in- telligent, and happy.
As a reward for the above privileges and attainments, they are remarkably healthy, and live to an advanced age, enjoy- ing themselves, and retaining their faculties, both of body and mind. We have now living in town four persons over ninety years of age : three of them are natives of the town ; the other has been a resident over sixty years.
There are fifteen between eighty and ninety, and twenty-
