A Female jack Sheppard.


The Columbus Fact gives the partcu-
lars of the escape Of a female convict
from the Penitentiary, that in GOODNESS
and daring rivals the boldest achieve
ments of Jack Sheppard:
The girl made her escape from the
fifth story of the prison by passing out
of her window and passing along the
side of the building upon a cornice or
water-table about eighteeninches broad.
Passing along the front of the building,
at the immense height of fifty OF SIXTY
feet from the ground, with nothing to
hold to, and upon the projection scarcely
visible from the ground, she reached. at
the distance of about forty feet from her
room window, a place. where it was
necessary for her to jump about twelve
feet to the roof of the west wing. The
leap was taken-proyed a safe one-7and
the dauntless woman next fastened to
the corner of the roof roap which
she manufactured of her own bedding,
grasped it in her hands, and swinging
from the roof, passed down ON the out
side of the wall, over windows where
other convicts were sleeping, and down
to terra .tfrnaa, distance of forty-fye
feet below the roof.

Letter from Henry Ward
Beecher. -,

In arranging their programme for the
winter, the Lecture Committee of the
St. Louis Mercantile Library Associa-
tion invited the Rev. III w Beecher to
visit that city and deliver course of
lectures, adding, however, that it would
be necessary for him to esehew all sub
jects pertaining either to politics or re-
ligion. The Reverend gentleman de-
clined to come for the reasons assigned
in the followingivery characteristic letter,
addressed to the Secretary of the Com
mittee:
| y sr{LEr BRooKLYy,- 1859.
I Dear SRI have received your letter
| politely inviting me to give one or more
lectures before, the St. Louis Mercantile
Library Association next fall or winter.
But you ask, in consequence of the di-
versity of fopinions among your members,
| that should, if / accepted your invita-
ton, ''eschew all matters pertaining to
politics or religion am too much of
| a patriot to ,esche " the one, and too good
| a Christian to neglect the other. . Indeed,
the only motive, that have for lecturing
at all, is the hope that I may make
better citizens and better Christians of
my fellow-men And it seems to me
that a course of lectures, from which
had been strained out call matters per-
taing to politics and religion must
afforded but a very meagre diet to the
young people of St. Louis. -.
/ Nor can l imagine why you should,
under the circumstances, have wished
me to visit you. If have ever been Of
any service to my fellow men, it has
| been because never would eschew any
topic which I thought it .needful for
| them to, hear. Nor have [ ever allowed
myself to stand on any platform where
[ could not follow my own judgment as
| to what should be said, with the most
unlimited freedom And it is too late
in my life for me to yield up my sense
of .self-respect, and come under censor
ship. ..s.g ~ .l,.,.5g..l ss>.aaf ...
| hope,I have not taken seriously a
matter which, perhaps, you meant only
as pleasant Jest. For, on reading your
letter again, | can hardly repress the
conviction, that you deemed it a pleas
ant Jest to ask me to come all the way to
St. Louis to give lectures, under an i'm
piled agreement that | should "esche,o
all matters pertaining to politics and re-
hgionl s4T s..
Accept my congratulations upon the
prosperity of your Association, as stated
in your letter, and allow me, I trust
without ofense, to hope that before long
the young men will be able to listen,
without shrinking, to the freesspeech of
any honest man, who may have conyic-
tions, on moral and civil duties, worthy
of a man and citizen. III sa.f-f, s
II I am very truly, yours,

Personal sketch of John w. Forney.

Mr.. Forney is described as well-built,
brown. haired man, little over the av-
erage height, about 43 or 45 years OF
age, and a large head in which vitative-
ness and self resolve are the leading
characteristics. His forehead is fulland
round-his beard of a russell gray, only
shaved above the mouth, and his dark
bead-like eyes, are given sleepless and
ever,vigilant expression by the want OF
eye brow lines to span off the forid fore,
head from the forid face In this re-
speet he is said to recall the lidless
dragon eyes described in one of the ear,
