-

A son of a rdipeaahle landholder, in the county
of Aeath, had been strongly attached to the daugh-
ter of a neighbouring fanner, bur as she did not
enco his advaisc,•s, he forned a resolution of.
seitigli7r by force; and, as he korw that she bind
been in the habit going daily to see a favoue!te
cow 'naked, heceiv .d that such an opportun,
would be livotirable to his plan. The y..ung ladfs
brother, however, got orevilas intknation of his de-
signs, and immediately made them known to his
sister, whin, as titer* was a striking resemlilance in
their persona, agreed that he should dre-.s himself
in her clothes, and at the usual time go and goad
the cow. This plan was that evening put into
execution, and, wheat he had just arrived at thy
spot, four men jumped over the hedge and imme-
diately seized and carried off the supposed lady
(though not without much apparent resistance) to a
chaise in waiting, which instantly carried them off
to the house of the intended bridegroom. Imme-
diately on their arrival there, a priest was sent for ;
but. as he was absent attending some sick members
of his flock, the wedding was necessarily postponed
until next morning. In the mean time, the lover's
mother tried every thing in her power to administer
comfort to the divr. ssfd Lid',; and, in order to
convince her that her son had no dishonourable in-
tentions towards her, she proposed that she should
sleep that night with her daughter. The young
ladies accordingly retired soon after to rest, but
they had not been long gone when an unusual noise
and cry tor " help!" brought the parents to the
door of their daughter's room ; which, as the young -0
man had previously secured it, they were obliged.
with the assistance of the domestics. to break open,
but by that time he had accomplished his design.—
They immediately seized, bound, and sent him of
to 'trim gaol, where he now lies, and is in a short
time to stand his trial ; but, as he supposes they
cannot substantiate the rape, from the circumstance
of the old lady putting him into her daughter's bed.
he has entered an aftion against the opposite party
for false imprisonment.
Those who have heard of this affair, wait the
event of the trials with impatience. and piomise
themselves much amusement on the occasion ; as.
no doubt, the ablest counsel in the kingdom %sill be
employe i on both sides. It is repOtted that the
trials will be moved to the Court of 'King's-Bench

here.
In taking down an old house at the earner of
Capel street and Upper Ormond Qu iy, an immense
quantity of guineas (some say to the amriunt of
::0,000) was discovered in one of the wile, wlii,:h
the present proprietor of the house s& zed on ; but
the former one has gone to law with him about it.
It i,, h weever, proha,ile, that neither will get it, as
the cur was made in the latter end of the reign of ,
King George the First, and beginning of George
the Second. i

as plentiful now as it was twenty years hack, there

titled to 20,11001 aad yet whole Tickets are under 20!.
Every precaution will be taken on Thursday
morning, to keep all the avenues leading to Coopers'

turally be tempted to go and hear the tirst-Drawn
Ticket proclaimed, which is entitled to 20,000% at
the least. whether Blank or Prize.
The First-dr:. wn Ticket on Thursday morning, is
sure to be worth Twenty Thousand Pounds at least,
even if a Blank; but it is impossible to be istatii
25,000!. or even 40,000/. for the Wheel is im-
mensely rich, and the floating 20,000/. Prize is as
likely
.to be the First-drawn Ticket as any other.
Tickets or Sham to obtain this desirable objea, are
selling at Bisn's Offices, 4, CornhiU, and 9, Cha-
' ring-Cross, where several Capital Prizes, this Lot.
ter y, have already been sold, shared, registered, and
paid on demand.
After Thursday next, the Public will begin te
think about the new Administration; at presen
all their thoughts are engrossed by the Lottery
every one who has a Ticket or share is expefling ti
catch some of the numerous capital prizes witl
which the wh-el abounds. Those who have not
share should purchase before to-morrow night, a

course of the day another 20,000!. a 10,000/. ten

ever was known when there were only four days is
