THE OLDEST WOMAN IN BoSToN.-We
noticed yesterday the oldest man in Bos-
ton. The following notice Of the Oldest
woman will serve as a companion piece.
Mrs. Elizabeth Chase was lO2 years old
the 9th Of October. This lady is a
worshipper at 81. Paul's church and is
very seldom abseLt, either al morning
or evening service, unless tho weather
is very bad. She walks with quick
brisk step, and although sadly bent with
age, uses no cane, and requires no sup.
port. Her hearing is toIerably good,
and her sight-which was once lost but
has returned again-is so strong, that
she can read fine print, and hem fine
muslin without the aid Of glasses. She
makes her own bed, and cuts and makes
her own clothing. She rises with the
the sun and seldom retIres before 10 al
night taking no rePose during the in
tervaI. She reads many hours each
day, and, during one afternoon, read a
loud $50 pages in BaXter's Saints rest.
But the Bible is her chief treasure. She
studies it daily comparing passages and
illustrating texts with the aPlness ant
readiness Of 4 scholar and divine. She
has had three husbands-but no off
spring. All her relations and family
connections are gone. She has oullIVet
all her generations. Transcript.

VIRGINIA BANKS The Richmond
Enquirer is the organ Of the Virginia
Bank, and its remarks IN relation 10
the Banks OF that State may therefore
be taken as authentic. In an article on
the finances, the editor objects to the
Board Of ExcheQuer, as not the proper
remedy for the disotdered state Of the
currency, and says:
"We must look then to time, as the
great physician. We must reform this
rotten bank system throughout. In the
meantime, we must compel the State
Banks, when solvent, to resume pay
ments; and those which are insoIvent, TO
go into liquidation, as soon as practical
BILE. Then, the currency would be more
purified. and he exchanges near y equa.
Iized. To accomplish a resumption,
then, as soon as practicable, certainly
in the course Of the year, before the
meeting Of the next Legislature, is one
Of our great objects-and we are inform
ed, that for the purpose of preparing for
this event the Bank Of Virginia has come
to resolution to call in per cent. upon
all its outstanding debts, from the lst OIL
Aprll-and the curtaiIment is 10 be KEEP,
up, until the debts are generally reduced
or altogether extnguished."
