With these claims to patronage, the “ Casket” will,
as has been previously mentioned, be afforded to those
who subscribe for that paper exclusively, at the low
price of $2 50 per year, a subscription which it is confi
dently believed, is much lower than that of any other
publication of a similar character in the United States
—but to the subscribers of “ The Saturday Evening
Post” ** The Casket” wtH be furnished for 82 only.
The following notices of the work are among a
number of the same import, which have been receiv
ed from abroad, and show the general estimation in
which it is held.
** Among the periodical publications of our coun
try, this may justly be termed one of the cheapest
and best; and for neatness and beauty, it is not sur
passed by any work issued from the American press.
It is made up of original and selected matter, such
as biographical sketches of distinguished individuals;
interesting tales; literary notices; sketches of socie
ty and manners, anecdotes, poetry, &c. being truly
what its name indicates, “ Flowers of Literature,
Wit and Sentiment.” The elegant engravings with
which each number will be embellished, will add
much to its value, and will be an additional induce
ment with the lovers of the fine arts, to patronize

Extract of a letter from Mr. Robert Stevenson Cof
fin, now resident in Ncwburyport, Moss, address
ed to the Editors of the “ Casket,” and “ Saturday
Evening Posh”
Gentlemen,—The gratuitous offer of your excel
lent publication, the “ Casket,” I assure you, meets
from your sick and suffering friend with a cordial
reception: the plates alone, at the close of a year,
would be worth the trifling expense of the subscrip
tion ; those representing the Capitol, at Harrisburg,
Pa. and the Falls of the Passaic, N. J. are hand
somely executed, and add intrinsic value to the work
in truth, I am free to say, that there is not within
the compass of my knowledge, a work of the kind so
well calculated to cheer the oppressed and languid
spirits as the “ Casket the matteris diversified and
useful—so much so, that there must always be found
something to please the literary taste of every one,
who can be pleased at all. Perhaps, some folks may
think me over-earnest in this matter, and that I am
only paying you, gentlemen, an idle compliment for
the gift of the paper—but it is not true; I speak with
sincerity—not doubting but its subscribers will
readily allow that my remarks are just.—I am, gen
tlemen, gratefully, yours, ROBERT S. COFFIN.
The demand for the Casket already has be
as to campd the publishers to re-print a
of the two first numbers* the first odrtioaMnng been
dearly disposed of—and as it wifi bfjpipflssible for
them again to replace future numbers should they

REVOLUTIONARY ANECDOTE.
The following anecdote is quoted from
the new Philadelphia Quarterly. The re
view of American Biography, from which
this is taken, contains a number of interes
ting incidents and characters.
When the British army had possession o
Philadelphia, Gen. Howe's head-quarters
were in Second street, fourth door below
Spruce, in a house which was before occu
pied by Gen. Cadwallader. Directly op
posite, resided William and Lydia Darrah,
members of the society of Friends. A su
perior officer of the British Army, believed
to be an adjutant general, fixed upon one of
their chambers, a back room, for private
^conference, and two of them frequently met
pcaring to the Court, that on the 8th day of th ere, with &e and candles, in close consul
tation. Abow

high Constable of Gum Creek District, in the Coun
ty of Walton. Sometime in the year 1825,
to the best of my recollection (at this time
haying no memorandum to refer to, and it being of
little consequence about the precise day) in July, at
a Justice’s Court in the County of Newton, in a
cause pending between Amos Shaw, plaintiff, and
Levi Whitten, defendant, tliis man John Jones was
introduced as a witness, and in giving his testimony
it became necessary to prove the time that l liaa
moved from his house to’Newton County; and he
swore that he had no knowledge of my removal, or
intention to remove, from his house until I had start
ed : and I can prove that he had knowledge of my
intention to remove for some time previous to my
removal, and had actually loMjed me a horse to assist
me in moving. I asked him, on his examination, if
ho did not loan me a horse to assist me in moving,
and reminded him of several circumstances that
shewed his knowledge of my removal, all of which
he most bitterly denied ; and I do pronounce him a
perjured man, and caution the public to beware of
him. AVINGTON CL AG HORN.

nor sleep ; supposing it to be in her power
to save the lives of thousands of her fellow
countiymen; but not knowing how she was
to convey the information to General Wash
ington, not daring to confide it to her hus
band. The time left, however, was short.
She quickly determined to make her way,
as soon as possible, to the American out
posts. She informed her family, that as she
was in want of flour, she would g? to Frank-
ford for some ; her husband insisted that
she should take the servant maid with her,
but to his surprise she positively refused.
Sim got access to Gen. Howe, and solici-
tea, wh*at he readily grarfted, a passtkrdngh
the British troops on the lines. Leaving
her bag at the mill, she hastened towards
the American lines, and encountered on her
way an American Lieutenant colonel, (Craig)
of the light horse, who'With some of his me.n
was on the look out for information. He
knew her, and inquired where she was go
ing ? she answered, in quest of her son, an
officer in the American Army, and praying
the colonel to alight and walk with her. He
did so, ordering his troops to keep in sight,
To him she disclosed her secret, after hav
ing obtained from him a solemn promise
never to betray her individually, as her life
might be at stake with the British.
He conducted her to ahouse nearat hand,
directed something for her to eat, and has
tened to head quarters, when ho brought
General Washington acquainted with what
he hud heard. Washington made, of
course, all preparation for baffling the medi
tated surprise. Lydia returned home with
her flour; sat up alone to watch the move
ment of the British troops, beard their
footsteps; but when they returned, in a few
days after, did not dare to ask a question,
though solicitous to learn the event. The
next evening the Adjutant General came in,
requested her to walk up to his room, as he
wished to put some questions. She follow
ed him in terror; when he locked the door
and begged her, with an air of mystery, to
be seated, she was sure that she was either
suspected or had been betrayed. He in
quired earnestly whether any one of her fa
mily were up the last night he and the other
officer met; she told him that they all retir
ed at eight o’clock. He observed, “ I
know you were asleep, for I knocked at your
chamber door three times before you heard
me; lam entirely at a loss to imagine who
gave Gen. Washington infoimation of
intended attack unless the walls of the he
could speak. When we arrived near Whiter
Marsh, we found all their cannon moun ted,
us, ar
and the troops prepared to receive us, and
wc have inarched' back like
fool3.”—Richmond Enquiren
