SEAL COMES BACK
Picked Tn In Elizabeth CITY Court

Picked Tn In Elizabeth City Court
house EARLY iu the War.
After ha!f-century OF alien pos
session, during which time its exist
ence was almost forgotten, the bronze
seal of Elizabeth City county has found
Its way back into the keeping Of the
Commonwealth OF Virginia. The seal
was yesterday delivered to the Cover
nor. to be turned over by him to some
historical society of the StaSc,
The history OF this original seal Is
Interesting. When President Abraham
Lincoln Issued mis- FIRST call for voiun
teers at the outbreak OF the war IN
1850, Abner Augustus Griffing, OF Cam
bridge, Mass. was one of the nrst to
respond. He enlisted in Company c.
OF the Third Massa chusetts Volunteers
and his company had the distinction
of being the first Northern company
to go to the front On night In June,
1851, Mr.. Grifting's company was quar-
tered In the Elizabeth City Court
house. In Hampton. Mr. GriffinG found
the seal on the floor. and seeing in It
an interesting relic. put 1t in his
pocket, and kept 1t nll through the
campaign.
Through q mutual friend Governor
Mann recently learned OF the fact that
the seal was still in AIR. Grining's
possession. Yesterday Edward StetSnn
Drifting, a son OF the owner OF the
bronze seal, sent the zeal to Virginia
with g. most gracious letter of prcsen-
tation. Governor Mann accepted tho
Gift In behalf OF tho State. and Will
make definite disposal OF 1t at en- early
