Mrn. El.'en Lyons died at the residence
of tier son, Thoutaa Lyona, HI l West For-
ty-eighth street, yesterday, at the age of
113 years. 8bo w-h born at Edeuderry,
Kings county, Ireland, in 1701, and was
married to Matthew Lyons, of county
Westmeath, in 1799. In 1832 the family
doie to this country, and from that time
they have lived in this city, where Mr.
Lyons died in 1834, aged 90 years.
• Until the lAst five years Mrs. Lyons at
tended morning mass regularly at St. Pe
tal's Church, when her son, Mr. Thomas
Lyons, was living in Greenwich, near
Warren street, in one of the old-fashioned
houses built when that part of New York
was the Fifth Avenue or Murray Hill
quarter of the city.
For thirty-eight years Mr. ThomAs Ly
ons, the youugest of her sons, lived in
Greenwich street. In all that time the
o d lady 8»ldoiu missed matins, and until
1870 was frequently on the steps of St.
Pete, a before anybody else. (She was not
afraid to walk iu the s reets alone, be iev-
ing, lb she did, that God would always
take care of her. The polioemen all knew
her, and the people who lived iu that part
of the eity, and who attended the same
place of worship, did not let her want for
esooit nor for aid in climbing the steps of
the church.
Last lhnraday Mrs. Lyona was aa well
and strong as usual. Who ate a hearty
meal in the middle of the day, and made
no o .mplaint until night. At about 10
o’clock, whou the servant entered her
room, she said that death was upon her,
hnt as she had frequently said the same
thing before, the servant laughed, and
sail that she was good for thirty years
yet
A half hour later Mrs. Lyons' daughter
went to her grandmother's room and
found her very feeble and breathing with
difficulty. A physician was summoned,
and he said that there was no aymptorus
of disease, but that the old lady was lia
ble to die from exhaustion of her vital
powers at any moment.
On Friday Mrs. Lyons apparently re
covered from this attack, and for the
next three days all her faculties were
stronger than they had been for some
years, though she still repeated her asser
tion that death was upon her. In her lost
hours she talked freely with friends, and
inquired with much interest about those
who were absent. Five minutes before
ber death she asked for her beads.
She died quietly and easily, and when
she had pnased away, the relic of hygouo
age looked like a child in slumber. Hard
ly a wrinkle marked the well-rounded
cheeks, and the full lips and smooth fore
head told no tale of the many long win
ters that had paused over them, leaving no
scar behind. The face was not that of
no who hod lived beyond throe score
earn and ten allotted to man, and bore
evidences of the grief, or wan days
t even iu the happiest mortal’s expen
se ‘*go down glooming in weariness
e.”—New York Sun.

A dispatch from Washington says :
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Barber has left for Dew York, to devise
Ihe best means for carrying out the act of
Congress in relation to the prepayment of
~stago upon newspapers and periodicals
ailed from the officea of publication,
hioh goes into effect on the 1st of Janu-
k ,. 1873.
This law gives a wido discretion to the
ostmasier General in all rospecta save as
the mode of payment,which is required
be “by a special adhesive stamp, to be
vised and furnished by the Postmnstcr
enerul, which shall bo affixed to such
ttcr, or to the sack containing the
me, or upon a memorandum of such
~Umg, or otherwise, as the Postmaster
neral may from time to time provide
regulation.”
; It is evident that the law did not con-
_plate the stamping of each paper, as
It provides they shall be “weighed in
bulk,” and payment of postage made per
| pound. Neither can the stamps be affixed
to the bag, as in most cases other mtil
matter goes therein. The most feasible
Ototbod of carrying out the law appears
10 the Department to be the use of ro
ll hooks und stubs, the receipt to be
i off and given to the publisher, aud
fstub, after the necessary memoranda
pade, to be stamped with the reqm-
I stamp or stamps, and retained by the
pinaster.
