At Terraughtie, on Sunday last, James BLACK, one of the oldest men in Dumfries-shire. His age is not precisely known, but it may be
guessed at from a circumstance which he used frequently to mention, vix. [sic] that in the year 1715 he resided with the tenant of
Corsack, in Kirkpatrick-Durham, in the capacity of a kind of under-servant for driving the plough. What fixes the date is that he
perfectly recollected the "gude wife," as he expressed it, coming in and telling the family, as a piece of news which she had just
heard, that a lady of high rank in the neighbourhood, whom he named, had eloped with her footman to France, an event which is known
to have taken place in the year above specified. This extraordinary old man who could not have been younger than 110 years of age,
retained his distinct hearing to the last, and within a few weeks of his death could, with the help of spectacles, read his
small-print bible. What is still more remarkable, though not unprecedented, he lately got an entire new set of teeth.
