The Rensselaer Colony at Brooklyn.

There is quite a colony of former Rensselaer residents living at Brooklyn, N. Y., now, including several members of the Paris family, Vai Seib, John Puroupile, Gus Phillips, Ida Milliken, W. D. M. Hooper and perhaps others. Two of these, Mrs. Lydia Paris Kimball and Prof. Hooper, were both teachers in the Rensselaer public school some 25 years ago, and lately met and learned each other’s whereabouts, by accidentMr. Kimball had advertised their residence for sale and Mr. Hooper was one of those who answered the advertisement, this bringing about a meeting between them. Mr. Hooper is editing a trade or advertising paper at Brooklyn, and also frequently' preaches in an Episcopal church in Brooklyn.
