  Miss Lucy Langdon Nowell of Alfred, Me., the woman who was to be tenderly borne to Philadelphia to grace the coming centennial exposition, having been born July 4, 1776, very inconsiderately and seditiously died at her home, yesterday [Nov 28]. With her, so far as is known, perishes the last of all the babies whose natal screams mingled with the wild clangor of Independence bells, and since we can't have anybody with the happily coincident dirth-day, it befits all patriotic old people, born anywhere along there, to be careful not to get their feet wet. We must have a centenarian there, and he must be alive, if possible.
