How Giddings died.

--A Northern telegram gives some particulars of the death of the noted Abolitionist, Joshua. R. Giddings. He was engaged in a game of b at the St. Lawrence Hall with Mr. Folkman, when he suddenly complained of weakness, and sat down on a sofa. Dr. Turner and Dr. Patton, both living at the St. Lawrence Balt, and for Sutherland, were promptly by his side, but he at once became insensible, and expired in a few moments.
