DEATH OF THE OLDEST INHABITANT - Mrs. Hepsibah Hartshorn, widow of the late William Hartshorn, deceased in this town [Amherst NH], on Saturday last, at the good old age of 103 years and 9 months. She was in her usual health up to the day of her death, and as some one expressed died "because she could live no longer." She of course is one of the few who have lived to witness the opening of three half centuries. She was the last of a large family of children, who all lived to be over four score years of age.
