A DESPERATE LEAP.—A man named Joseph
Sheets, a notorious bounty jumper, (of Pitts
burg,) belonging to Company A, 2d Pennsyl

turned over to the proper authorities to be
forwarded. On the following day he was sent
off, heavily ironed, in charge of a sergeant.
While the train was nearing Harrisburg, in
full motion, he succeeded in jumping off, but
received injuries, which will in all probability
prove fatal. He was picked up in a senseless
condition by some citizens, who immediately
telegraphed information of the fact to this
city, and the sergeant, upon arriving here im
mediately returned to the place where the leap
was made, secured Sheath, and brought him
to Harrisburg. He is in a critical condition.
TEE LATE ROBBERY OF EPPLEY A.V CO ' S ,S ' T(TRE.
--Rearing of a Jew who Received the Goods.--
The following, taken from the Philadelphia
Press, gives an account of a hearing that took
place on Wednesday, in which the defendant
was charged with receiving goods stolen from
Messrs. D. Eppley & Co. ,in this city. We might
state that the thieves left One glove in the store;
this Mr. Eppley took to Philadelphia, and by
it the odd one found in Freedman's store was
identified. We give the Tress article in full :
Nathan Freedman was arraigned at the
Central Station yesterday on the charge of re
ceiving stolen goods. This is a somewhat
complicated case, and it should be stated that
the material evidence is derived from thieves.
The defendant keeps a spice store on North
Third street. It seems that about the middle
of September the store of Messrs. D. Eppley &
Co., on Market Square, Harrisburg, Pa w was
robbed of alpaca, silk, linen, shawls, silk
handkerchiefs, cravats &c., to the value of
$3,000.
At the hearing yesterday the following light
was thrown upon the subject: John W. Shultz,
a colored man, testified that about three weeks
ago some men came to him with a horse and
wagon; he went with them to a place on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, a short distance above
the Wire Bridge, where these bundles were
picked up; these bundles contained such goods
as had been stolen from the store of Messrs.
Eppley & Co. • these bundles were taken:to the
store of Freedman, and some money passed
between the parties, the witness obtaining
$25. A pair of gloves and an odd glove were
found at the establishment of Freedman.
These were of the same peculiar make as those
stolen from the store at Harrisburg.
Conrad Emerick, who lives opposite Freed
man's, testified that about three weeks since
he saw a white horse and wagon standing in
front of the spice store of Mr. F., and saw
three bundles carried into that place. What
thei contained he could not say.
'Me
defendant was held for another hearing.

CorrEnnEinism RAMPANT.-A Loyal Mini-
ister Compelled to Resign his Charge Because
he Prayed for Els Country.—The Carlisle
Amirican gives us the following:
We learn that the Rev. Mr. Wallace, Pastor
of the Associate Reformed Church (Seceder,)
of Newville, in this county, has resigned the
charge of that church, and his pastoral con
nection with the congregation will•at once
cease.
We learn, moreover, that the causes which
led to this resignation are briefly these: Mr.
Wallace, who is a patriot as well as a minis
ter, thought proper in his prayers in the pul
pit to pray for the success of the Union arms,
and for the speedy suppression of the rebel
lion. He probably, in his sermons, also ad
verted, in a patriotic manner, to the progress
of our cause. but of we are not certain.
This procedure, it appears, gave mortal of
fence to the members of the Church Session,
all, or a majority of whom, are violent Cop
perheads, and sympathize strongly with the
Smith.. Accordingly, the Rev. gentleman was
waited upon, and requested to resign, Ikhich
he, rather than sacrifice his patriotic Princi
ples and conscience scruples, at once com
plied with. Whether the members of the
congregation approve of the action of the
Session, we have not heard.
We have indeed "fallen upon evil times,"
when in the free' and enlightened North, in
the midst of a wicked rebellion, inaugurated
for the perpetuation of a heinous sin, that a
Christian minister, in the sacred desk, is for
bid, by professedly Christian men, from im
ploring the most High to crown the Union
arms with victory, and to crush this insane
rebellion. But we forbear commenting any
further, believing that a Christian and patri
otic people will frown indignantly upon this
petty specimen of dictation and tyranny,
[Front the Patriot and Union of Oct. 19, 1864.]
A CHAPT;I: FOR ARE LINCOLN'S HISTORY.—We
were surprised to learn so late as yesterday,
through one of the employees of this office, that
Abraham Lincoln had a sister-in-law living in
this city. Our curiosity was aroused by the dis
covery and we paid the lady a visit, just to see
what a branch of the Royal family looked like.
We found her living in humble circumstances,
and apparently an amiable and pious lady,
submitting to the cruel decrees of fate with
true Christian fortitude and resignation. She
is the widow of John Todd, the brother of
Mrs. Lincoln, and has three children by him
to care for, one boy and two girls. Her famil
iarity with the history of both the Lincoln and
Todd family induced us to put more interroga
tories than was perhaps prudent, though she
answered them willingly and readily, making
due allowance for that reticence, which mod
esty dictated. It is evident from the manner
of the lady, that she has seen better days in
years gone by.
In regard to Abraham, she informed us that
she was well [acquainted with him in his
younger days, that she had bestowed many
kindnesses on him when he was yet splitting
rails, that she gave him many a dinner, and
added naively, and many a pint of whisky.—
About the time he was to be married to Miss
Todd, which marriage was superinduced by
delicate circumstances, he came to her house
and borrowed first three and afterwards five
dollars, with which, she alleges, he paid the
parson for uniting in the bonds of matrimony
those two persons, who might have been
united somewhat sooner, which eight dollars
he has paver yet paid her. During severe
trials last summer, when her children were all
prostrated upon a bed of sickness, and when
she was without means to support them, she
wrote kindly to Mr. Lincoln for aid, but re
ceived no - sower. She wrote then 0011M/011•
tively five different times to Mr. ••• — 1
lady imploringly, and importuned Airs. Asa
coln to send her some of her cast off dresses
and other article of the wardrobe, that she
might spare and that would be useful to her
children, but she never received any reply.
At the same time Mr. Janies Lincoln, a bro
ther to the President„ a private in the Union
army, and who was here on a visit, told her
that he had seen Mrs. Lincoln give a $5O bon
net that she had bought purposely for and
wore at a ball, to a negro wench, the next day
after the revelry, as a present. This was
when the children of this lady. Mary Ann
Todd, were lying so ill, and when she was
beseeching a little aid from the White House.
Mrs\ Widow Todd describes Mr. Lincoln as a
very false and unprincipled man, though pos
sessing many attractions, and was a -goy di.-
ceiVer in his youthful days. She
however, bad as he is, he is not more irrch
gious and vain than his wife, Miss Todd.
She describes the Todd Family as proud and
haughty, but not well educated, They Arc
cold and even cruel toward each other.
They were born in South Carolina, but
lived latterly in, North Carolina, near the
Berrysburg road. Julia is the name of the
chivalric sister who dared General Butler
to search the thirty trunks laden with costly
goods, that she transferred South via Fortress
Monroe, some time ago, aided by a pass from
headquarters. Mrs. Widow Todd showed us
a daguerreotype likeness of her younger broth
er-in-law, James Todd, who fell a sacrifice to
this cruel war. It was taken before the war
commenced and represents him as very young
looking. In her straightened circumstances
and overwhelming afflictions, she wrote to Mrs.
Lincoln that she had in her possession a like
ness of her brother James, which she would
give her as a memento of oue who ought to
be dear to her. She resorted to this expedi
ent, thinking to touch the proud heart and
subdue the feelings of alienation from her,
eaused'h,y her poverty, but Mrs. Lincoln was
too greatly fascinated by the glitter of the
ball-room to be moved by any touching ap
peals.
The Todd family owned some property, but
were not regarded wealthy. Among their
personal chattels were fifteen slaves, valued
at about five hundred dollars each. Widow
Todd thinks that Mr. Lincoln is not in ear
nest about the manumission of the slaves,
but just resorts to that as an ostensible means
of keeping himself in power. He has not
religion enough about him to care much
whether all persons are free or all slave. All
he desires is to distinguish himself by some
transcendent feats of policy, or, in other
words, to make history for the mere gratifica
tion of his own ambition.
Such, kind reader, is a chapter in Mr. Lin
coln's history. Read and ponder it and draw
your own conclusions. It is a thrilling nar
rative, stuinbled upon by accident, and given
without any design or intention to injure any
one. It is the simple story of a heart that
cannot suppress its own wrongs. The narra
tor concluded by saying, "If Mr. Lincoln is
too proud to help me or ever write me here,
I will see him again. I will see him at the
Judgment Day."
