Romantic Marriage of an Editor. Since Brother Calkins, late postmaster of Princeton, has returned to the newspaper business, we cannot help mentioning a little circumstance which happened while the able editor was inlisted in the cause of his country during the late war. The company of which he was a member was one day in receipt of a lot ot clothing, etc., from the ladies of Princeton. Among other things, were some pairs of stockings, and our friend Calkins happened to get possession of a pair of them. On receiving then!, he was. surprised to find a tiotc snugly enveloped in the toe Of one of the stockings. The note was written by Miss Pinncyj of Princeton, who' requested that the soldier who should happen to get the stockings send his name and a letter to her. Calkins wrote MisS Pinney a pleasing letter, and after that they corresponded regularly. When the war was oyer, Calkins went to Princeton and called on the lady, and it was a case of love at first sight. They soon afterwards married, and have been Jiving happily together ever since. Mr. Calkins is now one of the "editors and proprietors of The Princeton Leader, the new paper receptly started there.—[Vincennes Ne ws. ( . Quarterly Meetings.
