There are five sisters still living, on the Thanes Road, Usbarne, who have resided there closeneighbors to each others ever since they came'to• this coun- try ;n 1853, in which year the family left Scotland and settled on the Thames Road, and with the wr;,ter, their unit- ed nited ages average eighty years, a record witch is very exceptional, and which we doubt a it can ba equalled in any other part of.this provinces The several members of the family, taken according their ages, are, Helen, widow of the late Charles Monteith: aged 86, the next s the writer Mr. David Miller, aged 83 ; the next, Mary, widow of the late Jaynes .}lackney, aged 79 ; the nest, Jane widow of the late, Robert Monteith, aged. 77, • and the fifth, Ann, wife of Mr. Alexander I-Iackney, aged 75. There were two tothers en the family, James tine second son, and 'Elizabeth, wife of Rev. Robert Foley, botm, of whom were the youngest :members of the family, ' and died 'some years ago, It will thus be seen that the meted, ages of the surviv- ing rrnem'bers of the Miller fam- ily average 80 . years.
