OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT on THE PERSON OF A
loraG LApY.--A young lady Of this city, Miss
richardson, yesterday started from this city TO go
10 her brothers, in Dracutt, some four miles die
tpnt--a pant Of the way che was accompanied BY
young lady acquaintance. They were followed by
an lrishman by the name Of Francis Green, con
vict at the workhouse, from which he had escaped.
Green loitered behind picking berries and conduct
ing himself in manner not to excite their fears.
When they came To turn in the road they missed
Green, aud shortly after Miss Richardson's com
panion stepped at the place where she was going.
Miss r. continued on, and after passing down .
steep hill, called Marsh Hill, she saw Green in the
bushes at the roadside, upon which she turned to
run back, when he caught her and threw her on the
ground, upon which severe struggle ensued, and
the lady was much injured, her mouth cut and per
son bruiEed. Green failed to accomplish his dia-
bolicsl purpose on her person, aud she escaped.
Search was made for him at once, and officer Miller,
stationed at Central Bridge, about noon arrested
Green, who came up the river bank. Had the
friends Of the yonng lady found him At the time
they would doubtless have lynched him. He Is
committed to jail for examination on Tuesday the
18th inst There Ia no doubt as TO the identity oil
his person. We hope the wretch may be dealt with
severely. .8 A ts#

A FIENDIsH ATTEMPT--A young woman named

the past year, in the capacity of domestic Of Mr.
Walsh, who keeps boarding house on Third street.
In that city. She came on visit to her uncle who
resides near the Millcreek House. On her trip,
which was on the deck of the steamer, she got into
conversation with another passenger, as she de-
scribed him, heavy set man, with large sandy
whiskers, who paid particular attention to her. On
the arrival Of the boat at the wharf, he volunteered
to see her to her uncle's residence, which she
thankfully accepted; and together they started from
the boat, he carrying her bundle. The girl almost

but she says that shortly after passing the Brighton
House he took her across some fields, away from
the road, and then attempted liberties with her
person. She resisted, and the villain then become

rational Of which was, that from youth up he had

trunks, one OF them containing half dozen beauti-
paaphernalia, jewels, trinkets, gegaws, &c. The
officers could not restrain their mirth as they over
hauled the ribbons, laces, puff combs, corsets,
