The oldest inhabitant
--Dr. Toomas Diddep, weigh-master at the First Market, is no doubt the oldest inhabitant of Richmond at this time, having, on Thursday last, completed the 89th year of his earthly pilgrimage.
Hale and hearty, and with out few gray hairs, friend Diddep says he is but a boy yet. That his life may be preserved yet many years is the wish of his thousands-of friends.
Few men have had the experience that he has.--Living through three generations, he has seen both men and empire ise, flourish and crumble in the dust.
In his life, the great American Republic rose from small beginnings to its meridian splendor, and burst into fragments from its own internal corruption.
May he live to see our Republic flourishing in all its strength.
Mr. Diddep has been for many years an honorary member of the R L. I Brues, and was from 1800 to 1816 an active member and 1st Sergeant of the company.
