Williamsburg, April 22.  We learn from Pittsylvania that
there is now living in that county one Mrs. Smith, in the
109th year of her age, formerly of James City county:  She
lately danced at a wedding, and sung a song of thirteen
verses distinctly, which she learnt at nine years old.  She
mounts a horse with great agility, goes to mill, fords a
river 200 yards broad, and labours for subsistence.
