        There lives at Bledlow Ridge, one of the bleakest spots on the Chiltern Hills, in Buckinghamshire, Mrs Phoebe NEWELL, who has just celebrated her 101st birthday. Mrs NEWELL has lived in Bledlow Ridge all her life, having been born in a cottage near to that in which she now resides with her eldest daughter. She has lived under five Sovereigns, and has participated in the festivities connected with the Coronation of four of them.

        A REMARKABLE OLD LADY.
        There lives at Bledlow Ridge, one of the bleakest spots on the Chiltern Hills, in Buckinghamshire, Mrs Phoebe Newell, remarkable old lady. who has just celebrated the 101st anniversary of her birthday. She is in excellent health, and, though slightly deaf, retains her other faculties to wonderful degree. Her sight is good, and she walks without difficulty or assistance. She has been a widow twenty years, and of the eleven children she bore, of whom she reared nine to manhood and womanhood, four are yet alive, the oldest being a daughter of seventy. Each of these four have children and grandchildren, so that there are four generations living. Mrs Newell has lived at Bledlow Ridge all her life, having been born in a cottage near to that in which she now resides with her oldest daughter. She has never been far from the village Born in 1802, she well remembers the receipt of the news of Waterloo. She is in receipt of a small allowance from the Union, and she lives in sight of the workhouse, two miles away over the valley, from the doors of which institution, happily, the assistance of her children has enabled her to keep away.
