_Longevity._--Some few years since I had occasion to search the parish
registers of Evercreech in Somersetshire, in one of which I met with the
following astounding entry:--
"1588. 20th Dec., Jane Britton of Evercriche, a Maidden, as she afirmed
of the age of 200 years, was buried."
I can scarcely believe my own note, made however, with the register before
me.
