Mr Partington, descanting on art called Michael Angelo one of the old mastiffs. A. Lucky Woman.—The happiest old lady we ever heard of resides in Mansfield, Conn. She is nearly 100 years old. Some old ladies are remarkable for this, and some for that; some for entirely new sets of teeth ; some for doing the family washing when past 90 ; some for walking five miles to church, and some for having seen Gen. Washington. But the peculiarity of the old lady in Connecticut is that she "never heard a band of music in her life "Happy and venerable dame ! If she had been compelled to listen to some of our street brass banders, who go about seeking whom they may drive to suicide, she might have been dead and buried and dust long ago—New York Tribune.
