The Native American

Interesting Occurrence.—On Thursday last, a lady, 105 years of age, residing in the city of New York, who has never used spectacles, and still retains, in a remarkable degree, all her mental and bodily faculties, took it into her head to visit a female friend in Newark. She got into the stage, and alone, without an attendant, came to this city. A gentleman learning that such a personage was in town, called on her and requested her to accompany him to the house of a friend, which she accordingly did. Here she was introduced to a gentleman 107 years of age; and these two venerable survivors of the last century there held a most interesting conversation of bygone days. Having always lived in the city, she had a perfect recollection of the time when the river covered the ground where St. John's church now stands. In the evening, the lady, whose name we understand is Gouge, returned to the city.—N. J. Eagle.
