A 8O-Year-Old Terrapin,


Mr.. Richard T. Cochran, of Middletown,
who was last week the guest of Kent coun-
ty friends, told of the remarkable age of an
ordinary land-terapin. Mr. Edward Ry-
land in 1911 found the terrapin. which was
t hen grown, and cut his initials and the
date on its shell. Mr.. Cochran in 1885
caught the terrspinss and to continue the
chronological record cut his own initials
and date, 1885 on its shell. The terrapin
was set free and had been forgotten, when
in 1870 Mr.. Cochran again found it within
several hundred yards Of the place where
it was first captured. The letters and fig
ures were still easily seen on the shell, and
the terrapin, though little fiat all increased
in size, and in spite of its extreme old age,
was sprightly and clipper. Mr.. Cochran
would not be startled should he come
across his old friend again.-G Ghestertown
