The oldest graduate of Harvard College, says the Salem Observer, now living, is the venerable D. Holyoke, who was graduated in 1746 and is now in the 97th year of his age. The second oldest is the Rev. Charles Turner, of the class of 1752; and the third, the Rev. Porter T. Smith, of the class of 1753.--President Adams, and his class mate, Henry H. Esq. of his city, follow close after in the catalogue. The latter gentleman is seen every day in our streets walking with the agility of youth, or driving his horse with a bold rifle whip--he has never been sick a day in his life, nor taken particle of physic since his birth; and we might add that his morals were as spotless as his health has been sound.
