Wheeling Virginia, and named Joseph Leppens,
got his life insured, as was said, for the benefit
OF his wife, Josephine Leppens. A short time
passed, when he went down the Ohio river, and
was not heard of for years after, the suppositlon
followin that he had been drowned, from the
fact that his coat and the papers belonging to
him were found upon the boat, and few days
after dead body was picked up in the river
near the place where he was reported to have
made his disappearance Some years after
friend of the wife received a letter from man
who signed his name as H. A. Deicher, lnquirlng
how the wife of the late Joseph Leppens was
getting along and whether she had received the
insurance money due her upon the death of her
husband. The letter was shown Mrs. Leppens,
who, it is said, Immediately recognized the
handwriting as that of her husband, and took
the letter to the agents OF the insurance COM
pany, who, suspecting a trick, refused to pay
the ten thousand dollars insurance money.
Some time after Leppens came to Washington,
the intelligence OF which was conveyed to his
wife, who came on here in pursuit of him, and
found him. The case came up before Justice
Walter on Thursday afternoon, upon warrant
sued out by the wife, Josephine Leppens,
charging her husband, Joseph Leppens, alias
ID. A. Deicher, with having committed adul.
terry. After hearing the evidence in the case
the Justice remanded the accused to jail TO await
hearing Mrs. Leppens lives in Wheeling, Vir-
ginia, and has FIVE children; while her husband,
Joseph Leppens, alias H. A. Decher, has for
some time been clerk in one of the offices of
the Patent Office buildine.n

On last Thursday Hon. II. S. Bundy,
Member of Congress from this District,
introduced into the House of Represen-

as into four territories, and provide for
their territorial governments. We re-

ment. All the rebel States should at
once be reduced TO territories But
Texas is the worst and meanest of the
rebel States. 1t cost us a vast sum of
money, and a most dishonorablc and
unjustiliable war The murder offrecd-
men in that State is the common amuse-
ment of the traitors there. We hope
Mr.. Bundy may push his resolution
through the House.
