Nassagaweya.
DEATH OF A CENTENARIAN. - Died at Nassagaweya, County Halton, on the 10th instant, Mr. James Cargill, a native of Ballyhemlin, near Bushmills, Parish of Balleaugh, in the County of Antrim, at the advanced age of 104 years and some months. This old gentleman was born in the year 1760 - that in which George the III ascended the throne of Britain. He thus was a contemporary of all the stirring events of that long reign; was personally cognizant of the rise and fall of Napoleon; bore a part in the suppression of the rebellion of 1798 in his native land and might have held conversation with men, who existed during the troublous times of the Pretender and his son Charles Edward. Relfection on what he may have had a personal knowledge of, almost shortens in imagination the time which has expired since his birth. Very probably his father was acquainted with men who defended the walls of Derry, and fought for the Protestant succession on the banks of the ever memorable Boyne water, - events which we moderns, are habituated to look upon as belonging to a long by-gone age. - It is almost useless to add that he lived to see the descendants of the third generation rise around him, in his cis-atlantic home; and his remains were accompanied to their last resting place, in the Episcopal burying-ground of Nassagaweya, by a numerous cortege of relatives, friends, and acquaintances. - SPECTATOR
