The MAN THAT LOVES A MUss-Gen. Webb,
editor of the New York Courier and Enquirer,
though no doubt possessing some very good
traits of character, is ever in . mus with some
body. He left the army at an early period Of
his life, as is understood, on account Of q mass
he had q mass with the old United States Bank !;
he had muss with General Duff Green he had
a series of masses with James Gordon Bennett ;
he had muss with the late Mr.. Cilley; he had
q nauss with Tom Marshall he had muse with
General Taylor; he had muss with the United
States Senate; he had q muss with n p Willis
and now he has had mass with General Wool
OF the army. One popularity about the Gen
eral is, that when he does not come off first
best-which he never does-he is sure to be
second; and that is very consoling!

AN 0Lp MAS.--There is now living near the
east end of Bridge street, in Georgetown, an
old gentleman by the name of William Hardy.
He is native of Ireland, whence he emigrated
to this country about the time she gained her
Independence He landed in Baltimore, hut
removed to the former place many years be-
fore the town was incorporated by the Legisla-
ture of Maryland. He recollects distinctly
when there was not an improved street in
the town, and but three houses on Bridge street;
and when the Methodist denomination, which
now numbers some six or eight hundred mem
bers, white and colored, worshipped in an old
cooper-shop, the preacher using the chopping-
block as n stand 10 preach from. He does not
know the date of his birth, but judging from
circumstances, and events Of which he has
distinct recollection, we have no doubt that he
has nearly, if not quite, filled up his hundred
years.
Old Time seems to have dealt gently with
him; his mental faculties appear to be unim-
paired, and he win frequently run his mind
back to the days Of his childhood, and trace his
history upward, and interest his friends with a
recital of many striking and interesting events
and strange condolences through which he has
passed. His sense Of hearing is acute; he never
used spectacles, and is very fond of converse
ton. His disposition is lively and cheerful,
sometimes even playful, and he walks erect and
at brisk pace. He is a regular attendant at
the Methodist church, of which he has been
member for more than seventy years May
repose and every comfort be his during the few
