As I have mentioned the “oldest resident," I nitty as well sa\ more about hint, for hi Paris there i> very little difficulty in fixing him. li is the Comte do Wuldcok.now in his one hundred and eleventh year, and look ing as if destined to live to a ripe old age. He celebrated his one hundred and tenth birthday not long ago, and on hearing of it a joker in tile life insurance business went to him to induce him to take out an endow ment policy on his life. The Count took ft quit*' seriously, studied the matter carefully, and thought that he might try it liext year. Three years ago 1 mentioned M. Do Waldeek in connection with the project of anew theatre near the Madeleine, he having applied for the position of Director, although he would he about one hundred uud fif teen years of age if lie lives to see t lis building completed. He stiil wants the place, us lie was Direetor of a theatre bearing the name proposed under the first Republic. I saw the old mnn coming down the Hue des Martvrfc the other day, ami thought him ‘looking remarkably well. On the Empress’ birthday tie sent her a bouquet saying, in a note that lie was in the world before the foun der of the Napoloenie dynasty. Ib was an otlieer under Xujioleon and was wounded at Anstcrlitz, if I re member rightly. During tile reign of terror he was, like Sieves, “occupied in living, ’no easy thing when one had the title of Count, and when there was a perma nent guillotine on the i’laee delaCon eord; bjltiiesuceedeed by becoming a purveyor of public amusements, lie said the other day that there was only one thing pertaining to tln time that he now regretted the cos tunics of the women. There is noth ing, ho thinks, which shows off the female form so well as tile dresses worn under the Directory, and one may add, or so much of it. There is no doubt about Count i>, Waldeek's ago, lam told, lie having authentic documents; and the records of the army show that lie must he consider ably over a century. ♦ . A Peddlers w*l,t Hide. A l’eddler named Jonas Marlmrger has for many years tramped over vu rions sections of this and neighbor ing cotta ties gelling Ids wares, and by a consistent course he tins won the oonfldMoaaad esteem of a large uumber of acquaintances. On Tues day afternoon, about live o'clock, t he peddler opened his pack in the kitch en of a man named !v-helstaub, in Albany township. The farmer's wife purchased what she desired, and the peddler, according to the custom of I hut neighborhood, was asked lore main to supper, which lie did, and subsequently determined to stay all night. The farmer owns quite a nice tract or land, and during the et cuing much of the conversation centered u 1 Km matters pertaining to farming. At about nine o'eloekthe peddler was shown to a large garret, under the roof, where lie was to sleep. The family retired uud nothing unusual occurred until some time near mid night, when tile farmer was awaken ed by the barking of watch-dogs and fhe tramping of a horse's hoof's. He arose anu looked out of the window towards the barn, when an extra.,, dinary sight met ids gaze. The dogs were tn an adjoining field, and strange to sav. there appeared to lie a ghost riding about on one of tie farmer's young horses. The fame i cal led the hired man, and on going to the garret with the lantern tile.', found the bed which had been occu pied empty, and the peddler gmie, but his clothes still hanging on a chair, where lie had evidently placed them. The farmer and hired man went down stairs, and found that all I lie doors were locked as they were before they retired. Doing out the) found the horse still on a full gallop under the direction of his mystermii rider. The hired man watched his chances, caught the animal and upon closer examination found that the rider was the peddler, who sat there like a statute and was in a complete state of somnambulism. He had nothing on him excepting his shirt, undershirt, drawers and stockings, and notwithstanding the coldness of the night he was perspiring freely when lifted down. They- could not waken him properly until he was led into the house, and when he came to his senses he seemed to know nothing of what had occurred. He seemed startled at being out of bed and down stairs in such apparel. Subsequent examination showed that the man, in his strange stute, had worked his way out of a trap door to the roof of a back building and thence to On ground.-—ifearfim; i Pn. > Ea/jle. A counterfeit Unit'd States Treas ury note has been detected at Boston, so well executed that even the most skillful detectives differ as to its true character and have finally deter mined upon tae following minute dtffereTtaew :*“On the genuine the but tons On the coat "f John Quincy Adams are.perfect! round, w hile on the counterfeit they have an irregu lar or more of an octagonal form; on the genuine the small toes of the fe male figure -f Justice arc full and natural, while on the counterfeit the small toes are very small, and the little one very obscure.” The statue of Stonewall Jackson, executed by the late Mr. Foley, the well known English sculptor, for the city of Charleston, H. 0., is now near ly completed at tlie Manor foundry, Chelsea, London. The General is representedns standing, with a drawn broadsword in his right hand. The hand rests on the sword-hilt, and the point of the weapon is placed on a piece of rock at the side of the figure. He wears a horseman's short tunic, girt by a broad belt and buttoned close on the chest, and loose trousers with riding boots. A Ntooki: os the Safety Vai.ve. The Springfield (Mass.)
