Probably you've hit one limitation of COUNT.

Try this one
Code:
@wTimer1 = TMR1L
wTimer1 var word EXT
T1CON = %00000111
        'xx--x---- Don't care
        '--00----- Prescaler 1:1
        '-----1--- Do not synchronized external clock input
        '------1-- External clock from TOCKI pin (Rising edge)
        '-------1- Enable Timer1

Main:
        wTimer1=0  ' clear Timer1
        pause 1000 ' acquisition time
        lcdout $fe,1, dec wTimer1
        pause 10
        goto Main
