In Greenwich, Washington County, (N. Y.) on the 22d Dec last, Mr. David Sprague, who had nearly completed his 90th year. He was the father of twenty-one children, 10 by a first, and 11 by a second wife - 8 sons and 13 daughters; all of whom married, and were all at one time, the living heads of 21 families. In September last 420 of his descendants were enumerated. When alive, his families shewed five generations on the earth at the same time. Mr. Sprague had never used spirits, and very little tea or coffee, and was always a great enemy to tobacco. His death was sudden - when at dinner, and apparently about half through, he rose quickly from the table, and soon settled into a chair, when placing his hands and feet in an easy posture, he instantly, without a struggle, ceased to breathe. In early life, Mr. S. embraced the Baptist persuasion, and adhered to the same through life. He was a native of Rhode-Island.
