R. B. Cheatham, of Nashville, Tenn., sends word that he intends bringing a stable of race horses to Monmouth Park 10 the spring to contend for the purses and stakes to be run for at that place. The famous trotting horse Ripon Boy died at Horicon, Wis., on Friday morning, December 18. The cause was hydrophobia, the horse having been bitten by a rabid dog. Ripon Boy was nine years old, sired by Ira Allen, mahogany bay in color. Mr. Van Brunt, his owner, gave $5,000 tor him in 1871, and since then he bas won many races. At Joliet, Ill., in July last, in the open-to-all purse, he won the second heat in 2:25, inst American Girl ano Pilot Temple. His lossis @ severe one to nis owner, Mr, P, Lorillard has purchased from Messrs. A. & B. Cheatham the fine filly Vaultress, by Vandal, dam by Childe Harold, for $3,300.

Mr. Ashcrait designs vakin; Jolorado, where he is opening a large breeding and training stable. His success there with the wild horse induces him to believe the climate peculiarly adapted to the thorough- bred. The colts are principally the descendants of Mr. Kelley’s altorf mares, by Captain Elgee (son of imported Leviathan and the great Reel) and Comm« by Boston, out of Rosalie Somers, the dam of Revenue, -&0, We trust Mr. Ashcraft may Meet with abundant success. The oldest mare in Madison county, and probably the oldest in Kentucky, is a Tranby mare owned by Colonel David W. Irvine. She is now 33 years all teeth, 1t i impossible for and she lives upon nothing which grows tn the pasture Ine’s house. She has ne valuable animal, and has produced 28 colts, which have netted ner owner severai thousand dollars.

The last colt to which sne gave birth is now a year- ling, and Lymn att was dropped by her when She was in her thirty-second year. Since the loss of her teeth she has become low in condition, and will hardly be able to go through the winter, And yet she is as active as a three-year-old; and if there Were such @ professional man 88 @ horse dentist, who could supply her with an upper and lower set, she doubtless would reach a green old age, RAILROAD CASUALTIES, Coroner Croker was yesterday cailea to hold an inquest on the body of Mrs. Barbara Schloss, & German woman, 53 yearsof age, who died from the effects of injuries received on Monday last by having been run over, corner of Seve oty-third street and Fourth avenue, by a train of cars be- longing to the Harlem Railroad Company.

Some Incidents and Facts Never Befoe Published—Thomas Linkhorn’s Ab- rupt Courtship of Widow Johnson— The Historical Old House—Captain Haycraft’s Memory. A correspondent of the Loutsville Commercial, writing trom Elizabethtown, Ky., under date of December 30, sends the following statement of Vaptain Haycraft, detailing many unpublished in- cidents in the life of Lincoln and exploding the story of Mr. Lincoln’s illegitimacy :— I was born in this town 14th August, 1795, and have a good memory of persons and things as they existed in “days of auld lang syne.” 1 KNBW THOMAS LINCOLN well. He was universally called Linkhorn—I sup- pose through ignorance of his real name. Some lime in the year 1806, or about that time, he was married to Miss Nancy Hanks, and when married and before that time he lived in Elizabethtown. In the year 1807 bis first chud (a daughter) was born, ABRAHAM'S BIRTHPLACE. Some time between 1807 and 1509 he left town With his wife and child, and settled near Buffalo, Larue county, about four miles irom Hodgenville, then in Hardin county. It was then called Hod- gen’s Mill, and 1s now in Larue county, at whica pace Abraham Lincoln, late President, was born. jut, to put the whole matter at rest, | quote from A LETTER WRITTEN BY ABRAHAM LINCOLN TO MY- BELF, now in my possession, dated Springfield, Ml., May 28, 1860;— 5 In the main you are right avout my history. My Cather was Thomas Lincoln, and Mrs. Sallie Johnson was his second wife. You are mis- taken about my mother. Her name was Nancy Hanks. 1 was not born in Elizabethtown, but my mother’s first child, a daughter, wwo years olaer than myself, and long since dead, was. 1 was born February 12, 1809, near Where Hodgenville now is, then in ‘Hardin county. Ido not think I ever saw you though | know very well whu you are—so well hat I recognized your handwriting on opening our letter before Isaw the signature, My recol- lection is that BEN. HELM was first Clerk, that you succeeded him, that Jack Thomas and Wilson Fatrieigh uated in the same office, and that your handwritings were all very sunilar, Am I right? My father has been dead near ten yea! but my stepmother, Mrs. Johnson, is still living.” THE SECOND WIFE OF THOMAS LINCOLN was originally Sailie Bush, daughter of Christopher and Hannan Bush, was rai m Hardin county, half a mile irom Elizabethtown. She was married to Daniel Jounson on the 13th day ‘of March, 1806, and lived in Elizabethtown, where Johnson died early in April, 1814,.0f what was then called cold plague. 1 sat by his bedside several nights during his illness, and one mornin; on retarning home, which was the 4th of Apri, found snow on the and four inches ceep and the peach trees in bloom, which attracted my attention and caused me to note the time. Tho widow, Mra, Johnson, continued to live in Eliza- bethtown until the 2d day of December, 181%. Thomas Lincoln ‘MOVED- WITH HIS FAMILY TO INDIANA. I do not know the time of his removal, but before 1819 ne lost his first wile there, und on the Ist day of December of that year he re- turned to this place and inquired for the resi- dence of the JOHNSON. ‘wipow She lived near the Clerk’s office. I was Clerk, and informed him how to find her, He was not siow to present himself before her, when the following courtship occurred :—He said to Mrs, Johnson, “1 AM A LONE MAN and you are alone woman. I have knowed you from & girl, and you’ve knowed me froma boy, and I pare, come all the way from Indiana to ask if you wi MARRY ME RIGHT OFF, ood are, no ee e eS To which she re- “lommy Lincoln, | have iy NO OBJECTION to marrying you, but I cannot do it right off, for I owe several littie debts which must first be paid.’? The gallant old gentleman promptly sald, “Give me @ hist of the debts.” The list was iurnished and the deb:s paid the same evening. The next morning, December 2 1819, 1 issued the license, and the same day THEY WERE MARRIED, bundled up and started ior home, where the new wite added much to the comfort of the establish ment, and took great interest in the training and education of her step-son, Abraham, THOMAS LINCOLN was a hale, hearty looking man of medium height, heavy and square built, rather clumsy in his gait, had @ kind looking face, was @ moderately good house carpenter, some of his work remaining to this day in the neighborhood, quite illiterate, and ‘was regarded as a very honest man, NANCY HANKS was a rather low set, heavy built{woman, without education, as in her day opportunities jor learning were few; indeed, book was not in high ede repute, and she was considered about on a par with qe ordinary class or circle in which she moved. Mrs. Johnson, FORMERLY SALLIB BUSH, was a tall, slender built woman, quite good look- ing, Ls was sree in those days “4 <A a gal ly; Was very ne: and was thought 10 have been a” good maten ior Thomas ) THE HOUSE in which Thomas Lincoln lived in this place stood on the bank of an old mili race, was built of rough eran hewn, and was about 14 feet square. After it was abondoned by himit was moved below the bridge and made a slaugnter-bouse ; in course of time was removed still lower down the creek and again used for same purpose, and afterward it was removed back to very near the spot it originally occupied on the bank of the mill race, a few logs added, and then used for astable. After Abraham Lincoln’s election to the Presidency the house suffered many assaults of the saw and axe, and Portions of it was carried to New York as reiics. ABSENCE OF A CERTIFICATE ACOOUNTHD FOR. Such is the statement furnished me by Cap- tain Haycraft. In addition lasked him how about the record of Thomas Limcoln’s marriage to Nancy Hanks. He repited:—‘1 conld never find any record of the but I accounted for the ab- sence of it from the fact that no record was kept im those thes clerks depending on the minis~ ters to return the license, and were often men who were very illiterate, gad peel ps never knew that they should be returned. And in, ti res turned, they were liable to be mispi: |, a8 they were generally kept ina bread-tray or some like vessel for convenience; and, it would have been impossibie for them to have'l/ved so long to- ether, linproperiy, without the community know. ing it, when there were about 160 poopie living here at that time.” LOTTERY AGAIN. ‘The Police Commissioners made another effort yesterday to stamp out the lottery anda policy dealers of the city.
