pectable character, was called upon a few
days ago, by a young married woman, Of fair
standing in Boston, and was requested by her
to visit her at berresidence, as she had some
thing important to communicate. He called.
as desired, and while in her room, was seized
by her husband and another man who char
ged him with attempting to seduce the woman.
Subsequently they locked him in the apart
ment, from which they would not release him,
until he had given her his watch and a check
for $500. The sufferer is about to indict the
parties for a conspiracy. That's what repor-
tiers would call in police language, burning

Starting a Parsr-Tbe New York Ex-
press, in noticing the sudden d~iscontinuance
Of the N. York Gazette, the new Calhoun pa.
per in that city, says:
In the establishment ofa new journal,
parties are apt 10 calculate that they can
jump into the same patronage that others en-
joy, who have been from ten to twenty years
in securing their position. This experience
teaches, is a mistake. We do not know of
a single large paper that is now in existence
that did not sink fully fifty thousand dollars
before it met with sufficient patronage TO pay
its way Nor Is it possible for any journal to
start without an expenditure and loss Of at
least fifty thousand dollars, and If we should
say hundred thousand we would probably
come nearer the mark. Then, after the starr,
years of industry must determine whether
this sum can ever be made good
