Our Oldest Married Couple.

The passing away, recently,' of bo many of our old residents suggests that it is now fitting to mention, before we lose v ne or both of them, that very old couple, Joseph and Jane Callow. They are now Rensselaer’s two oldest residents and aho the oldest married couple in the county Aud we (question if there be manyi older in the state. Grandfather Callow was 90 yeurs old the 10th of last December, His wife will be 90 the 26th of this present month. Mr. Callow has clung to life by a very feeble thread, for a long time. His wife is somewhat more * robust. They both had former marriages, but this union has lasted nearly 60 years.
