ENTERTAINMENTS.

From the Salea 1azettc, July 20.
.I' Cra7oforda Presidential Candidate.
AT celebration Of The 4,h of July at
Newhaven, the following Toast was
given:
"The Secretary of the Treasury--a
better Slot in the field than in the cabi-
net"
The Boston Patriot condemns such
notice OF " distinguished citizens" as
4" disgraceful to the company" and in
explanation of the above sentiment states,
:" that the Secretary ofthe Treasury has
been engaged, and we believe wounded,
in , duel"
The Connecticut Herald adds 10 the
above Information the following:
Mr. Crawford has been engaged in
two ducls. The first of which we have
heard, was with the lameDtcd Mr.. Van
Allen. MIR. Van Alien, unfortunately,
some years ago, incurred the political
dis)leasure ola certain Georgia Judge,
named TAFT. The Judge according to
The custom Of our Southern States, in
such case made and provided, !orwih
sent him challenge, by the hand Of Mr..
Crawford. Van Allen refused to fight
TAFT, for very good reason, " He was
beneath the notice of gentleman"
Crawford, then, very politely offered to
place himself in the shoes of Tat, ard
solicited the pleasure Of a shot himself
from the pistol Of Van Allen. Assum-
ing then the ground and character Of
man whom he had thus acknowledged to
be beneath Van Aliens notice, he NJ OF
Mr.. Van Allen who had never given him
any proyocation, and shot the poor man
dead--as dead as herring The other
duel, to which it is presumed the Patros
alluies, was fought with Gov. Clark Of
Georgia. Aler having, in company
with this same Tait, endeavored to ruin
the reputation of Clark, Crawford sue
ceeded in extor,ing from him challenge.
He got, for his pains, ball in the hand.
And SO this matter ended"

emily and gravety agltated IN the court OF common
pleas and general sessions Of the peace at Geneseo,
Livingston county, under the following crcumstan.
ces An action on the case was brought by The
husband against the father of his wife, for orcibly
taking her away and OBTAINING her against her own
will aud that Of her husband. The decision in the
court below was in favor OF the plaintiff and the
defendant appealed.
On the trial Of the appeal it admitted that the
daughter was minor AID married against the will
and without the consent Of the defendant. The
marriage was admitted to be legal. The defend
ants counsel contended that the father had right
by law, 70 the custody and services OF his minor
child, the marriage notwithstanding and the court
on that ground non-suited the plaintiff On sub
sequent day Of term however, the court set aside
the non-,uit and granted new trial; Riggs and
