A BRUTAL OUTRAGE.

While JAMES M. BURGER, ESQ, tho pro-
prietor Of this paper, was sitting in his chair
at his desk, WILLIAM S. STEVENS entered
which he threatened, ut q future time TO
horsewhip him, clinchcd him while off his
guard, threw him on the floor, and attempt
cd to choke him. Mr.. Burger almost i'm.
mcdiately threw him oil, and recovered his
feet. Stevens then clinched him, and held
him by the wrists. Mr.. Burger wrenched
himself out of his hands. and again threw
him of, but was Immediately tripped up,
laid on his back, and mounted. Mr.. Bur-
ger recovered himself partly, drew dirk,
and gave him severe thrust in the thigh,
which made him reel, and completely took
away his strength. Stevens was put to bod
Immediately. His boot was full of blood.
A physician was then called. Had tho
dirk Como but half an inch higher it proba-
bly would have been fatal. Mr.. Burger
only received an injury on tho check bone,
which caused temporary swelling.
Stevens was accompanied by q man by
the name of DAVID II. PARKER who was
witness 10 tho whole transaction, but pas.
sivcly stood by without interfering. Ste-

WHITE WOMEN REDEEMED FROM THE
INDIANs.-Since our last, we learn from one
of the Santa Fee traders, that they have in
company two American women, whom they
purchased in Santa Fee of the Camanche In
dams, for the sum of four hundred dollars.
These circumstances, as far as collected
by our informant, are as follow Some time
in the spring Of 1885, Harris and Plummer
(such were their names) were emigratlng
from the State Of New York to Texas, aud
in few days after reaching the border OF
the latter, they were attacked by a war par
" OF the Camanches, and both killed on the
spot their wives and children taken pris-
oners, and their Wagons plundered and
burnt.
Mrs Harris states that when taken prs-
oner she had an infant three months old.
which, the third day after their captivity.
was taken unwell, and consequently became
troublesome; she was endeavorlng TO quiet
the cries OF her child, when it was taken
from her arms by one Of the Indians, and
thrown into bunch of prickly pears, and
this treatment was repeated until the child
was nearly dead They then tied rope
around its neck, and attached it to the horn
OF the saddle, upon which the disconsolate
mother was placed, for further transporla.
ton it remained there the rest of the day,
when it was thrown on the prairie, prey for
vultures.
Mrs Pummer states that when she was
captured, she had one boy about two years
old, which they still retain prisoner that
she had a child about two months after she
was taken prisoner, which was killed the
:. l..xks k,l.~ A,
er compelled to ride about twenty-five miles
on horseback the day after the birth Of her
infant-in short they were used with the ut
most unfeeling cruelty imaginable; their
caplors making them perform the most me.
nial labor, at the same time being obliged Ia
bear their fulsome embraces without murmur
or complaint
GreaI credit is due the company for their
generosity in providing means for their pur-
chase and transportation to their friends in
the United States 1t is also stated that
there are now in the possession of these saw
ages several women and children.
RAG BARONs.-Mr Sergeant, in speech
in the Pennsylvania Convention, as an off.
set to some Loco Foco orator. quoted the
banking returns of the city and county, and
found that in certain number of banks
there were no less than 7ll2 stockholders
BY dividing the capital of those banks by
that number, it would be seen that the aver
age investment Of each would be about So,
O00---or from $3.50 to $40 per annum. A
large number of these shareholders wer.
persons in moderate. he had amos. said poo
