The Oldest college student on record is the
Rev. Mr. Wilder, who is now, at the age of
eighty-three in attendance at the University Of
Vermont He was in the class of 1882, but cir
cumstances prevented his finishing the course at
that time, and he has never seen his way clear
to do so until within the past year. He devotes
himself particularly to theological studies,
which seems rather waste of energies in view
of the fact that it cannot be many years until
he Will know more of such matters, without
laborious study, than any seminary can teach
him He is, however, of very frisky and
jovial disposition, goes to all the church socials
plays games and takes part in all such harmless
designations very much like the rest of the boys
The circumstances which have previously inter-
fered with his completion of the course seem to
to have been of a domestic nature, inasmuch as
he IS said to have numerous children now mar
rled and scattered about the country, and a
third wife-the other two are dead-who is in
California in search of health. Whether the old
gentleman expects that the coveted college dis
ploma will enable him to secure more renlu-
nerative field of labor than he has hitherto en-
joyed, or whether he means it to serve in some
sort, as recommendation to St Peter, is not
known but it is the testimony of the other
students that no is getting more fun out of
school life than he.

An Episode of the War.

Rev. Joseph Cotton, pastor of the NJ. Z.

| Thirteenth Regiment Indiana Volunteers (Old

regiment mustered into the service, and left this
city for the front July 4, 1861. Many citizens
now living here can well remember their depart
ure from Camp Sullivan, now Military Park, -
July II, 1861. A week, to day, from the time Of
their departure this regiment participated and
took conspicuous part in the battle of Rich

Chaplain Cotton found in one of the tents of the
enemy little prayer-b book, with the inscriptions
'<From Mrs. Mary A. Meade to David Fl. Meade
Woodley, Virginia" After keeping the book
twenty three years the thought struck the Chap
lain that he would find out if any of the family
were still living, and would if desired, send the
book back as momento of the late unpleasant
ness, which brought forth the following cor
respondence:

TIE stage-struck girl, pursued by her irate
father or heart broken mother, with, generally,
designing lover in the dim background, is a
picture so frequently set before the newspaper
reader of late that suspicion is forming even
in the minds of the most confding of these that
this is the latest form of theatrical advertising.
This suspicion is strengthened by the circum-
stance that the girl is seldom oyertaken, or, if
she is found it is not known that she ever
