EXTRAORDINARY ABDUCTION express arrived
IN The city this morning, from Enc Pa, bringing in
q
at that place the night of the 9Th Instant The
particulars, stated in handbills published in rea-
ton to the affair, as follows -
As Miss Hanoi daughter of P. 8. V. Hanoi, Esq.
OF that place. was returning from party, in company
with young man of Mr.. HIS family, about eeveR
o'clock al night they were assaulted on the sidewalk
by Robert c. Bristol captain OF the steamboat
James Madison and four other persons; the young
man was forcibly secured, while Miss Hamst, amid
screams for aid, forced into hack close hand
with the less of her bonnet and other articles of cloth
ing and then driven down to the harbor where she
was pat board the Madison. That boat appears
10 have been in readiness for the purpose with steam
up, and forthwith pushed into the lake. with lights
Chase was Immediately given in the u. 8. Revenue
Gutter, and the steamboat Thomas Jefferson was got
under way speedily possible, but from the dark
ness it impossible discover the course taken by
the fugitive boat.
The Madison was not fully in a condition for sea-
having only part of her buckets in, and but little wood
on board. Hence Bristol is supposed to have pashed
across the lake for Canada.
The affair seems 10 have made quite a stir al Erie,
and the responsibility of the parties, and the novelty
of using a steamboat of 700 tons on such an enter
prise together with the attendant circumstances have
caused il TO excite some little sensation here.
We hardly credit the fact that Capt. b. would
have pursued such suicidal this, and incline
somewhat TO tho opinion, that II may turn out
Gretna Green" business, after all.-Byfsio Com
