view Mary A. Lincoln, who, recently wrote q
letter to Governor Robe asking him to prose-
cute for her at the halves, a claim of a million
dollars against the city of Bath for real es.
tate which she had inherited from her grand
father, to whom the Indians decided it. The
Globe reporter describes Mrs. Lincoln as a
bright and active woman of 60 years. She said
that Gov ROBBIE bad not answered her letter
but she supposes he knows the claim is good
and desires to keep the matter quiet. Jacob
| Deigle, Mrs. Lincoln's son-in-law, laughed al
the idea. He said Mrs. Lincoln is one of the

give the old lady, is the excellent foundation
it makes tor air-castles.
