ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT ABDucTloN.-
On Tuesday evening last, about I o'clock,
young woman was seized by rufiian in
Murray street, who covered her with his
cloak, and succeeded for few minutes in
sitting her cries. A carriage was in
waiting near where she was seized, into
which daring attempt was made to thrust
her, which with the aid Of the coAchman,
was nearly successful. While her foot
was still resting on the step Of the CAR
riage, sho succeeded in disengaging her
head, and Immediately cried for help.- :
Upon this the ceachman declined aiding
further in the diabolical scheme, and the
young woman, taking advantage Of the
pause in their exertions, escaped.
This is the third or fourth attempt at
abduction which has been made in the
very heart Of the city within . few days.
The time chosen for the nefarious opera
tions ofthe brutal kidnappers has UNIFORM
ly been before the setting Of the watch,
and should be warning to the city au-
thorities to send their night finctionaries
out at an earlier hour. These outrages
have now become 80 frequent that the
citizens have justly become alarmed, and
high degree of excitement agitatss:the
community. Indeed we are not without
suspicion that murderous intentions are
harbored against our most innocent and
unofending inhabitants, and that an or
ganized gang Of Williams are constantly
prowling our streets after dark for the ac-
complishment oftheir dreadful designs
One hundred dollars are offered as q re-
ward for the apprehension of the above
villain, and we hope the city authorities
will at once take the matter IN hand and
offer an additional sum of large amount,
so that the officers OF the police and their
I" stool pigeons" may be excited to 60 up
on the track oil the offenders. We make
the latter remark because we do not be-
lieve in the efficacy Of our police in such
cases unless the cupidity ofths underlings
is tempted by tangible bait It is hu-
initiating to make this assertion, but il
nevertheless accords with our firm belief.

ISLANDER /! SLANDERl!

ELDER JOHN LELAND.-We copy the
following from the Utica Baptist Regis
ter. Though we do not hold with e.
der Leland in his views Of the Lords day,
any more than with Prest Wayland, (for
between them we can BEE no difference).
yet we cannot believe that man between
10 and 80 years of age, who has labor.
ed more than half a century in the min-
istry, and with much success, and sus-
tanned an unblemished regulations would
renounce his religion as he is stepping
into the grave. The Evangelist speaks
ofs some who knew the worthlessness Of
this mans character, and foresaw what
has since taken place. We have known
many persons well acquainted with the
old gentleman, and have heard some Of
them speak Of him within few weeks in
affectionate and respectful terms. kfr.
Leland, we knew to be eccentric (many
other good men have unhappily been -
before him. but never worthless. This
is high charge. The Evangelist may
need proof thereafter of this allegation
John Leland, Esq a son Of Elder Ls-

his father within fortnight, and no such

LEXINGTON. Fcbruay 10, 1881

REV ALvA WooDs has resigned the Presidency of Pennsylvania University, which will take effect in March, We learn that he will then take his de- parure for Tuscaloosa, to enter upon the discharge of his duties as President ofthe Alabama College To- cated at that place.
 Indeparting from among us, MT Woods carieswth him the best wishes of the citizens of Lexington for his future usefulness and prosperity. We can truly say that no individual (durng short residence) will leave behind him d more unsullied name or more devoted friends. His bland and amable de- pertinent has secured to him the affections of the peo pe and it is therefore with sincere regret they called upon to witness his departure from among them.
 It has been our fortune whilst Dr Woods presided over Pennsylvania, to expose what we conceived many gross abuses in the administration of that ins tuition. But opposition was directed to its Board of Trustees and not to any of its officers. Placed in the difficult attitude that he was his hands were bound, and it was not with him to apply the proper correctives As President of the Alabama College, under the administration, as it is, of liberal and enlightened Board, we hope the day not far distant, when he will attain that distinction for which his
 literary attainmens, and his moral worth eminent ly entitle him.-Kenucky Gazette.

 The new election law of France has been pre- scented to the Chamber. It doubles the number of electors making the number 1S0,000 instead of somewhat above S0000; and it reduces to 800 fr of direct taxation the qualification for eligibility to vote This will fall far short of those who calculated on the extension of votes to 100000 electors.
