GN A. LINCOLN appears to be man
after Joshua r. Giddings's own heart
vile and brutal abolitionist as he is. That
old fanatic has made speech at Oberlin,
warmly commencing Lincoln to the sup
port of the abolitionists of that ncighbor-
hood, and has also written letter to the
nominee expressing his pleasure at the
nomination. The following is the note !:
DEAR LINCOLN: You're nominated.
You WILL BE ELECTED After your cleo
ton thousands will crowd around you,
claiming rewards for services rendered.
|, too, have my claims upon you. l
have not worked for your nomination,
nor that of any other man. | have la
bored for the establishment of principles ;
and when men came to me asking my
opinion of you, only told them {" Lin
coin is an honest man" All I ask of
you in return for my services is, make
my statement good throughout your admin
istrdtioa. Yours, GIDDINGS.
Giddings also says that Lincoln, in
Congress, was bis bosom friend. Yes,
and they voted together; and the latter
now comes before the country as the re-
preventative of the Giddings doctrines.

HE CRAWFORD ADMINISTRATION CASE.
This case is now pending in the Charles
county Court, Judge Grain, in session
at Port Tobacco. We are informed By
an intelligent gentleman, who has Just
returned from the Court, that the case is
based upon claim for letters of admin
istration. DR.. David A. Crawford, of
Prince George county, died intestate,
leaving an estate valued at 1920 900 to
100000. DR.. Black we'll, of Virginia,
cousin of the deceased, applied to the
Orphans Court of Prince George county
for letters Of administration as the Oldest
heir. There he was met with the appli-
cation of George 7. Crawford, natural
son of Thomas Crawford, deceased, a
brother of the late DR.. Crawford, who
claimed the letters of administration as
the legal son of Thomas Crawford, and
entitled to administer. Upon this ques-
ton of legality the Orphans Court was
unable to decide and appointed DIR. Black
well administrator for the time, and made
up the issue which was sent to the coun-
ty court for sediment. The Crawfords
chose to remove the case to the Charles
county Court, where the trial is now
pending. Fourteen lawyers, cassed
among the highest of the Maryland bar,
are engaged in the trial. 1t is said that
fees depend upon success, consequently
a hard contest may be expected - Wash
ington Star, Of the 24th alt.
The jury in the above case, on Satur-
day last, returned verdict for defen-
dant. Exceptions were taken by the
counsel, during the trial, upon which
the case will go to the Court of Appeals.
If it should be affirmed there, it will
settle the right Of administration in ia
vor of DR.. MISUNDERSTANDING the title

FIFTY DOLLARS PAID FOR PENNY.- One of the "Higley coppers" of l737. struck by Higley Ia blacksmith of Gran. by, of copper from the old Simsbury mine { (Newgate Prison, one hundred and twenty three years ago, was recently purchased by Alfred s. Robinson, Esq, of Hartford, of MT. George Williston, of Sufield, for the sum of $50
 A lawsuit had been one of the features of the history of this old coin. The Hig. ley coppers were the first coin ever struck in North America, ahd are now rare, only three of them, it is said, being in existence. MT. Wllliston had been offered SIS for this one. by Mir. Victs, of Granby, who claimed that ". had accepted the offer this Williston denied, and a lawsuit was the result. the verdict being in favor of Williston. The com IS Of pure copper, and the die is very good and clear. On the obverse face ap. pears the inscription, Connecticut, 1737," in circle around the representation of three blacksmths' hammers or slcdgehammers the reverse bears the words, "The value of three-pencc."
 One of the rare Washington pennies" of179l, the face of Washington being beau- tifully clear and distinct, and Louisiana penny of l767, coined for that colony by France, were also purchased of MT. Willis ton by Mir. Robinson.
 The old-coin mania is strong one, we are aware; but this is the strongest in- stance of it we have met with Plenty of " old coins," warranted genuine" will be offered, if fifty dollars apiece can be obtain. ed for them.-Hartford Times.

-GIovED SAMsoN.-On Sunday last.
 aooas nine o'clock, A. M., as the train vest "aru was within three or four miles of Chi. cago, on the Fort Wayne road, a horse was ulscoVered on the stilt work and between
 the rails The train was stopped, and the RFes.''sc'' -seat eas U clear the rsk
 was then discovered that the body of the
 horse was resting on tho sleepers. His leoS
 having passed through the open spaces wers
 too short to reach the ground. Boards and rails were brought and the open space in
 front of the horse filled up, and making a plank road for him in case he should he Inf up, and by means of ropes one of his fore feet was raised, and there matters came to halt. It seems that no strength or strata gem could avail to release the animal. Lev- CTS of boards were splintered and the men tugged at the ropes in vain when a pas- senger who was looking quietly on, stepped forward lelsurely, slipped off pair of tint cd kids, seized the horse by the tail, and with tremendous force hurled him forward upon the plank road. No one assisted, and indeed the whole thing was done so quickly that assistance was impossible. The horse walked away, looking foolish and casting suspicious side glances toward his caudal ex- tremity: The lookers-on laughed and shout ed, while the stranger resumed his kids, muttered something about the inconvenience ot railway delays, lit cigar and walked slowly into the smoking car. He was finely formed, Of muscular appearance, was very fashionably dressed, wore moustache and whlskers of an auburn or reddish color and to all questions as to who he was, he only answered that he was Pennsylvanian tray. cling westward for his health. The horse weighed at least twelve hundred pounds.

A FIRST APPEARANCE UPON
 ANY STAGE

ANY STAGE.
 We had been urging my grandfather to tell d story in his turn--it was great many years ago, before he was attacked by that illness which ultimately caused his death and after much persuasion he had consented We gathered eagerly round his chair; my uncle, the captain dealt the great centre log a tremendous blow on the head, which sent the sparks flying madly up the chimney; and we made up our minds to be very much amus- cd and delighted, though we had heard the story, no doubt fifty times before. Even the little ones left off their game of forfeits, and stealing round by the chimney corl.er, con- posed themselves to listen.
 The old gentleman smiled, took off his spcc- tacles, and thus began: What am going to tell you is an adventure that happened to myself, and not one of those children of an idle brain' which some of you have been re- lating this evening. It took place when I was quite youth-not twenty years of age and travelling through Germany for my pleasure.
 You have heard me speak of Muller, my trusty German friend and tutor? Well, he was with me at this time, and We were pc trianizing together through the States oi Central Germany. It was about midsum mer when we reached the fertile little duchy of Saxe-W eimar, where we took up oul quarters at snug inn on the borders of q forest which was very romantic and pleas ant. Now Muller would read and smoke all night. and lie in bed late in the morning but l was au early riser then, and loved te be out in the woods and fields by break O day, to see the sun rise from the hill tops so, as you may imagine, we had not much O one another's society till the afternoon. Or th's particular morning of which I an speaking, l had started earlier than usual meaning to have long ramble through ths green icfest, and bidding Muller come aul meet me at his leisure on one particular spot, which we had discovered day or tw, previously in the very heart of the solitude a wooded hill, down which a foamv cascod, leaped merrily, and mingled with the water of little winding river that threaded tn, intricacies of the forest. At the foot O this hill, just raised from the level of tn surrounding ground, and quite set rouns with leafy trees, was semi-circular piece Q lawn, like natural amphitheatre, throug1 which the streamlet took its way, still buh bling and eddying from the agitation cause' by the tiny cataract few paces beyond Altogether it was delicious place an, ! here, with g volume of Shakespeare in m,

CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAp.-A young girl and pretty, but above all, gifted with an air of adorable cander, lately presented herself before certain Partisan lawyer.
 Monsieur, came to consult you on a grave affair. I want to oblige man love to marry me in spite of myself. How shall l proceed?"
 The gentleman of the bar had, of course, a sufficiently elastic conscience. He reflected a moment then being sure that no third per son overheard him, replied unhesitatingly:
 Madalnoiselle, according to our law you always possess the means of forcing man to marry you. You must remain on three oc casions alone with him, that you can go be. fore judge and swear he is your lover"
 "And that will suffice, Monsieur?"
 Yes, Madamoiselle, with cue further condition"
 "Well?"
 That you will produce witnesses whe will make an cath to having seen you remain good quarter of an hour with the individu al said to have trifed with your affections.
 "Very well, Monsieur, I will retain yo, as counsel in the management of this affair Good day"
 A few days afterwards tbe young girl re
Litchfield enquirer., 1860-05-31

turned. She was mysteriously received by the lawyer, who, scarcely giving her time tt introduce herself, questioned her with thu most lively interest.
 "Well, Madamoiselle, how do matter! prosper~
 Capital" ...... --'.7-.------
 "Persevere in your designs, Mademoisclle but mind the next time you come to consult me you must tell me what the name of the young man is that we are going to render SC happy in spite of himself" .....
 {" You shall have it without fail, Monsieur"
 A fortnight afterwards, the young person, more maive and candid than ever, knocked di. rectly at the door of her counsePs room. No sooner was she in the room than she flung herself into chair, saying that she had mounted the steps too rapidly, and that the emotion made her breathless Her counsel endeavored to re-assure her, made her inhale salts, and even proposed to release her gar ments.
 "It is useless" said she, 1T am much bet. ter"
 "Well, Madamoiselle, now tell me the name of the fortunate mortal you are going to expose"
 "Well, then, the fortunate mortal, be it known to you, is-yourself," said the young beauty, bursting into laugh. "l love you, have been three times tete-a-tete with you, and my four witnesses are below, ready and willing to accompany me to the magistrate" !" gravely continued the narrator.
 The lawyer thus fairly caught, had the good sense not to get angry. The most sin gular fact of all is, that he adores his young wife, who, by the way, makes an excellent housekeeper.

FAsH1oS.-Coat-scuttle bonnets don't take. M;lliners have given up making them, for the reason that they couldn't sell them. They made the ladies look so old that they were voted down. A rebellion against crinoline is going on in Paris. Two acknowledged fashion leaders, elegant ladies, head the row, and appear in public un-hooped. The Em- press retains her crinoline in public, but takes it of indoors. We hope 1t will be long time before our American ladies lay aside crinoline. We like it, if it does crowd us sometimes Amen!

From the San Francisco Bulletin.1 LONE MOUNTAIN CEMETERY. Far beyond the city's tumult,
 And the thronging passers' tread, Stands the beautiful Lone Mountain,
 City of the Dead. Grandeur sleeps along the hillsides-
 Beauty in each grassy vale And the stirring trees chant vespers
 To the evening gale. Statesmen with their tasks unended,
 Poets with their tasks unsung, Little child, and maid, and matron,
 Loves sweet harp unstrung: Gods true nobles, poor, yet loyal
 Honored brows from many cline, Gently rest where gates of silence
 Shut them out from time. They have left the sunny vineyard,
 And the classic palm trees shade; Turned them from the green savanna,
 And the heathery glade Looked their last on Alpine glaciers,
 On the dreary northern SHOWS, And the orient's bowers enchanting,
 There to find repose. They have braved unnumbered dangers
 Tempests of the raging main, Perils of the mountain passes,
 Languors of the plain; All the treacherous miasma,
 And the tropics fervid breath, Amid Natures peaceful beauty,
 Thus to learn of Death Walls of unayaiing anguish,
 From all clines beneath the sum- Have gushed forth these mute dwellers,
 Though their griefs are done Cheeks have blanched with secret sorrow Silvered heads have bowed with care Childish mirth been hushed in weeping
 For the sleepers there! Winter, as in soft compassion,
 For the strangers none may weep, Leaves his SHOWS to scatter roses
 Where they lie asleep. Spring and summer light the valleys
 With wilderness of bloom; Every season weaves in passing
 Garlands for the tomb. When the mornings ruddy lustre
 Breaks along the eastern hills, Der their graves, like tears of amber
 The rich light distils. Hour by hour, in dreamy splendor,
 The clear heaven above them lies, With the mellow depth and beauty
 Of Italian skies. Murmurs of the blue Pacific,
 Which thewand ring winds have caught With sadder sound than silence,
 Overlean the spot. And when twiight's lucent splendors
 Flush and pale along the west, Pilgrims by the Gates of Glory,
 Seem they, taking rest! AMIE. San Francisco, February, 1860.
