An Aged Minister. In an account of the General Association of Connecticut, the Puritan states that the Rev. Samuel Nott, of Franklin, was in attendance upon the meeting of the association;— that he was present at the prayer meeting, at five o'clock, on Wednesday morning, and was among the first that appeared in the house ; " That Dr Nott is ninety-one years of age; has been settled in Franklin sixty-three years, next March; and still performs his duties, without the aid of a colleague, and with more than the vigor, directness, and completeness of many a young man. This case, especially in the time which the ministry of Dr. Nott has covered without a colleague, seeks, with difficulty, a parallel in ecclesiastical history, in any age of the Church."
