A SINun.AR STORY
J. F. Mcginnis, in his history of the
West Branch Vnlley, relates the follow
ing history of a successful imposition
practiced upon the people of Jersey Shoro
in 1303 :
"About the year 1803, a remarkable
circumstance transpared at tho upper eud
of the borough of Jersey .Shore, well re
membered by uli the old people living at
that time. Pino treos in considerable
numbers, wcro then standing on tho spot
I now speak of. An old dutchuian named
Martin Keese, had built a cabin near
where the public road crosses tho canal,
on tho farm now owned Ly Murk Slona
Iter, Eq., an j made somo improvements.
Rising very early one frosty morning in
October, ho was surprised to find u beau
tiful fctnalo in a stato of nudity, with her
hands tied behind her buck, and a gag
over her mouth, standing in front of tho
cabin, against a tree, lie relieved her,
from her uncomfortablo position as soon
as possible, and tendered her the hospi
talities of his humble cabin. She appear
ed to bo completely chilled through with
cold, and could scarcely ipoak for some
linio. On recovering strungth, alio rela
tod that she had been travelling on hone
back from her lather's house in Montreal,
to visit an uncle that residod in Ken
tucky, in charge of a young man named
lienjV.nin Connett, who was sont expross
ly to attend her. But having a large
amount of gold in her possession, an evil
spirit prompted him to rob her; aud in a
lonely spot near Tine Creek, he presented
a pistol to her breast, compelling, her to
dismount and deliver up what money she
possessed ; when he immediately strip"
ped her, tied her in this shameful condi
tion, to starve with hunger or bp devour
ed by wild beasts. She had remained In
that condition nearly all night, when af
tiM a desperate effort, she had released
hei self and made her way to tho cabin.
After being refreshed, she willingly -vent
with the family to the spot, and pointed
cut the place where she had been tied
and the path she had beaten round the
tree trying to freo herself.
Thtre.was something artless in her ap
pearance ; and her modest dorueanor and
delicate frame, left no doubt in the minds
of those who saw her, that her statements
wore true, and that she had been foully
dealt with. She appeared to be over
whelmd with distress at the thought of
her situation among strangers. She gave
her name as Esther McDowell.
Rev. Mr. Grier, father of Judge Grier of
the Supreme Court, resided close by, And
took her into his family, and kindly pro

vided for her wants. A great deal of eynr
pathy was excited in her behalf, and the
neighbors vied with each othei in making
her presents of clothing. Several gentle
men, now living, presentod hor with val
uable bilk dresses, and other articles,
which she accepted, and kindly thank
ed them for thoir liberality.
Meanwhii the news spread through
out the country, and tho public
indignation was highly excited
against tho villain Connett. Handbill?,
oUeringa reward for his apprehension,
were put in circulation, and the chivalry
of the West Branch started in all direc
tions to look for tho scoundrel. He had
2-t hours start, however, and being well
mounted, eluded all observations aud
and effected his escape.
The aillcss girl remained in the neigh
borhood, eurcssed und entertained by the
sympathizing people, who could not do
enough to alleviate her wants. Her
manners were so simple, her actions so
lady-like and refined, nnd the doseription
of tho thief so tuitiutu that no doubt was
felt of her being badly treated. Letter
in the meantinio were despatched to her
father at Montreal, but weeks elapsed
and no niiBwer came. Still the public
confident in her was unshaken.
The intelligence having spread far aud
near, strangers (looked in great numbers
to see her, und loaded her with presents.
Being at the hotel kept by Duffies, ut Lar
ry's Creek, a gentleman named Hutchi
son, fro ii Milton, culled to ste her. She
eyed him closely, and seemed to keep
shy of him, which attracted his attention
and he thought he detected something
familiar in her countenance. He requ s.
tod to have some private conversation ,
with her, which she positively refu?ed,
wnen no exclaimed, caning ircr oy name
'I believe you arj the young ain that
once worked for 1110 in Milton as a jour
neymun taylor !' This was a poser, and
she became greatly excited, which arous-
ed a suspicion among the people that sho
might be an imposter. And such she ul-
tinmtely provod to be. The pretty Fa- daughter, uaiued Estclle, of about his ow n
ther McDowell had deceived and hum age, and very handsome, with whom he
tugged them in a shameful manner, aud fell in love, and in whose society he pas

generation, by the fanalici and cray pol
itical economists. Since the Missouri
Compromise has been repealed, the sa
vory question remains precisely as it
was when Washington was President.
Before the Compromise was enacted,
State after State abolished slavery volun
tarily, nnd without the threats and offic-
Uous interference of tho Peechers. Par-

hen the Mucklewraths began to agitate,
1 . , 001
j Congress, invoking its interposition to in
Uerdict the slave trado, and submitting
the in tor legation how far the powers of
Congress could be exsreised toward the
amelioration and abolition of slavery in
the States and Terntorias. The subject
was referred to a commilte composed of
men perfectly conversant with tho mean
ina of the ConlUution,or My had made it.
They reported "The Congress, by a fair
construction of the Constitution, are re'
strained from interfering in the emancipation qf
slaves, tc." but that " Congress havo au
thority to interdict the slave trade,"
Arid when Congress was about putting
an abrupt termination to the slave trade,
a perfect storm of remont'ances came
from Massachusetts and other holy States
or the present day. demanding that the
trudo ehoiild bo prolonged eight years be
yond the time proposed; so that they be
enabled to fulfill the lucrative contiacts
in transporting the thousands of poor Af
ricans agreed upon from their native
country to tho Southern planters. Some
were " building expensive vessels," others
hud "just purchased and fitted out slave
Bhips," with a view lu the profit of the
trade, and if it wcro suddenly abolished,
they would bo crippled, if not ruined
speculators in human flesh. The journals
of Congress show that the South were in
favor or tho immediate termination of the
inhuman traffic, and that the Stales now
under the spiritual guidancb of the sanc
tified Beecher, Parker, Grwoley, Sew
ard and Garrison, were unanimously ag
ainst it.
Changs in Postal Laws, An addition
to the post, otlica laws made at the late
session of congress comprises some provi
sions of general interest. Tho Post Mas
ter General is authorised to furnish lettor
sheets with postage stamps impressed
thereon, combining in one the sheet nnd
the envelope. The unclaimed money from
dead letters is to bo used to promote (be
efficiency of the dead letter office by pro
vffling for a more careful examinaion of
letters, and for the return of a large
number to tho writers, provided a detail

ti Congress during next session. Letters
returned from tho dead letter office are to
be charged the usual rates of postage, to

A New York Republican in a
Place.
It appears that John A Kennedy, Su
perintendent or tho N. Y. ci'.y police,
started the story of Lincoln's assp.isma
tion with the view of get ting the U. S.
Marshalship- A Policeman, by the name
of Villiamson, during a trial iu the To'iso
Court testified to a conversation with
Kennedy as follows;
Kennedy. "I understand you are
pretty good Republican, Williaijiri.il ?"
Williamson. "Yes, I understand my
self to ho so."
Kennedy, feolig his way safely, contin
ued. " I intend to send one or more o'c
tectives to the ci'ies of Baltimoro and
Washington, for 1 have understood tLr.t
they are oiganizing a plot or plots (o as
sassinate tho Presidentelect ; at all events,
1 desire it lo ayear to, that I can do the
President a service ; I have beon spuKia
of as a candidate for the office of United
Slates Marshal for the District, and I
don't know but that I shall 00 a candi
date." Williamson was rather taken aback nt
this and replied :
"I don't think I'm smart at that kind
of business, and you can find some one to
do it who is moro capable."
Kenedy replied ' very well," when tho
conference ended.
Any lie for an office. Any infwuioti
plot to get into favor with the President.
W ho will not be di'gusted with such men t
They are more despicable than Traitors,-.
Wo have never road such a series of sick
ening and humiliating scenes as this Re
publican victory has furnished. In false
hood, hypocrisy, cowardice and vulgarity
we have never heard of its equal. AU
the alloged plots and counterplots havo
been invented for effect, to oxcito the
public mind and to odvanco personal aud
selfish ends. The reaction, however, will
yet come.
