Longevity Of Philadelphians

The Philadelphia Ledger says that during the flrst six months of 1876 the deaths contaiued in the obituary columns of that paper of persons who had lived to or bpyond the advanced age of 80 years numbered 380, of whom 138 were men and 242 women. During the corresponding half year of 1875, the deaths were siinilarly recorded of 155 men and 231 women, a total of 886. During the half year just closed, these records give tho umial proof of the observation that moro women live to tho ripe age of 80 thau men, the female octogenarians outuumbering the males by a large percentage. A further analysis also shows that the femalea were tlio longest-lived, as the women who lived beyond 90 are much more numerous than the men. Of the number enumerated by the Ledger, Ann Gourley, Anu M'Mnllen Floyd, Daniel Bastable and Margaret D. Boggs wcre over 100 years old ; Annia Tareira, 101 ; and J3ernaid Duffy, good old fellow, 107.
