The St. Petersburgh Gazette states that there is living near Polosk, on the frontiers of Lithuania, an old man, named Demetrius Crabowski, who is now 168 years of age. This Russian Saturn has always led the humble but tranquil life of a shepherd, assisted by his two sons, the eldest of whom, Paul, is 120, and the youngest, Anatole, 97 years old. They all enjoy high consideration as being the oldest family in the country.
