HoPRIBLE AND DISTRESSING OUTRAGE
1t has never fallen to our lot to record a
transaction, at once so revolving i'll its
nature, SO disgraceful, and SO narrowing
to the feelings OF friends, as one that late
ly occurred at Rodsboroug, Vt. For Sc
veral days previous to saturday, an idle
transient man, whom no one knew had
been lettering about the place. Some
! time during that day, Mrs. Ames, the
wife of-Ames, Esq. and the mother
ola highly respectable family, come into
| village on horseback to transact some
business at one Of the stores. Having
purchased few articles she got on her
horse and started for home. She had not
| proceeded far when coming to hollow
| in small piece of woods she was beset
by this strange man, pulled from her
horse and insulted with the most lniam-
Gus proposals. In lone and unfrequent-
ed spot, beyond the reach Of hum an aid,
she found herself dependent upon her
/ own feeble strength to resist this mer-
CHESS, fiend-like monster. Though he
presented a knife and threatened her WIFI
instant death, she nevertheless resisted
!, and it was not till after an hours struggle
that nature became exhausted and she
sunk insensible to the earth. Even alter
| he had perpetrated his hellish purpose
/. and his victim was yet writing in hi:
!, brutal fangs, he presented his knife will
: the intention Of fms hing his demonia'
work by putting an end to her existence
e She summoned all her remaining strength
t an in the name of her innocent and ten
A der babes, she implored her cXccrabl

. finally consented, on condition that sh
e would promise not to reveal the affair."
t This done, he fled, and his victim divest
u ed of almost every vcstlge OF her clio
J; thing, dragged herself to the ncarcs
G neighbor and gave the alarm. In ley
t moments the whole vicinity was i'll pur
Z suit.

monster into the forests Of Monroe, whcr
