In the parish of Aiglish, in the vicinity of Killarney, Ireland, at
the very advanced age of _one hundred and fifteen years_, THEODORE
O'SULLIVAN, the celebrated Irish Bard.--This extraordinary man,
who was a great composer in his native language, expired suddenly,
in April last, whilst sowing oats in the field of his great grand
children, and retaining his faculties to the last moment! He is said
to have sung to the plough one of his favourite lyrics, and actually
breathed his last at the final stanza of his national melody. The
deceased also followed the occupation of a cooper, and is said to
have made a churn, from which butter was taken for the christening
of his 26th great grand child.
Lately, at the hospital at Bourges, France, aged 103 years, and
13 days, ETIENNE DELAMETAIRE. He was born blind, and employed for
upwards of 60 years in turning a grindstone.
