p@ There is a young lady down
East, whose personal attractions are so
great that she is considered perfectly
irresistible. Her beauty is such, that it
is altogether unsafe for young man to
trust himself, even for few moments,
in her presence. A gentleman from an
adjoining State accidentally met her a
short time since, and although he wa.
not in her company more than ten min
utes, openly acknowledged that he wa:
perfectly captivated. The most singular
feature in this case is, that the fair one
is so modest that she appears to be un.
conscious Of the many hearts which now
lie PROSTATE at her feet. We wonder il
this young lady has any heart.

ASSAULT AT THE FIVE PoINTs.-Arc
the Five Points reformed 7 Not alto
getber. Witness the following narra-
tive of an attack upon Rev. l.. M.
Pease, of the Five Points Mission,
which took place on Monday.
Monday morning as Rev. l.. M.
Pease was standing in the street, at
'Cow Bay on the Points, brick-bat
was flung at him from the top of house
by one of the Five Point thieves, but as
it fortunately missed him, bottle was
then flung, which also missed him.
Mr.. Pease Immediately procured an off,
Ger, went to the house, and with his as
sistance searched the house all over, as
we'll as two or three others in the vicin-
ity, but could not find the scoundrel
who flung the missiles.
Mr.. Realf, an assistant Of Mr.. Pcase,
however, was standing on the doorstep Of
the House of Industry, and perceived O
man hiding behind the chimney of the
house on the roof He gave the alarm
at once, and the man made off and slid
down through scuttle hole in the roo
to the room below, whence the officer
and Mr.. Realf followed him, and found
him under q bed He got out wher
spoken to, and brandishing a knife
swore that he would not be taken by
any one. Mr.. Realf, however, fune
himself on the fellow, and in the scufil(
the knife fell. The officer then siezcG
him also, and both dragged him down
the stairs. Here he made a desperate
resistance, tearing the coat of Mr. Real
into shreds and biting him in the arm,
inflicting severe and ugly wound
While taking him along, five or six Of
the Five Points ruflians set upon Mr.
Realf and gave him severe blows about
the face and body. At length, after a
struggle Of nearly half an hour, they
succeeded in lodging him in the Tomts
Before being locked up, however, he
made sudden spring at Mr.. Pease
swearing he would tear his h-y liver
out, but tho officer was too quick fol
him, and prisoner who had given b i'm
self up for some offence, also sprung for
ward and succeeded in preventing the
fellow doing any further mischief.
MIR. Peaso has had much difficulty
lately with a gang of thieves and aban-
doned women who have congregated
around the corners of the Points and in
Tested Cow Bay 1t is supposed that
this assault has arisen from feeling of
revenge for the active measures he has
taken to clear the locality. Mr.. Pease
sustained no injury.

The DIGNITY OF LABoR.-b it not
a fact that Labor is regarded by many
as undignifed and disgraceful' How
many there are around US and among us
who are actually unwilling to be seen at
work, but who would much rather be
found seated in their parlors, or riding
about in their glittering carriages. 1t
is not our object here to discuss this
question, of the Dignity Of Labor, but
simply to announce that Lecture will
be delivered, on this subject, by Chas.
II. Thompson, of this village, at the
Union Meeting House, on Saturday
evening of this week, the 22d inst, com.
mencing at l-2 o'clock. Mr.. T. is 9
young man who knows experimentally
something about the Utility as we'll As the
Dignity of labor. He has accomplished
what few young men have dons-worked
his way through college We expect
to see q crowded house on Saturday
evening. From our knowledge of the
talent, energy and activity of the speaker,
We are quite confident that he will do
justice to the subject, and that no one
will leave the house disappointed.

MAILING LETTERS ON BOARD THE
CARs.-Complaints are again made TO
the department that letters are mailed
on board the cars, to the injury of the
business of the post Offices. The de-
partment decides that a post Office is
the place, and the only proper place
for mailing letters and they are per.
mitted to be mailed at the cars only tc

with reasonable diligence, get them to 6
post Office before the closing of the out.

refuse to receive or mail all letters which
they have reason to know or believe
have been rendered to them under any
other circumstances. Persons who have
become offended with the postmaster oi
town have been known to combine for
the purpose Of irjuring the business and
revenue of the post office by employing
az agent to collect letters and mail them
at the cars. The department will use
all lawful means to countcract and sup
press all such combinations. - Wush-

p@- We learn from the Miners
Journal that on the 18th day of April
last, eight thousand four hundred and
flee tons Of coal, in 1856 cars, were
weighed on one of Fairbanks track
scales in use by the Mine Hill (Pa.)
Railroad Company, which is about one
thousand tons more than Was ever
weighed in single day before. About
one third Of the time was not occupied,
which would give tho capacity Of tho
scales for constant days work at about
twelve thousand tons. This scale is the
longest ever made by the Messrs Fair
banks, and probably the longest in the
world, it being one hundred and twelve
feet in length, or twelve feet longer
than an ordinary city lot and capable
of receiving and weighing at once, and
With single wcigh-beam, a train Of
eleven cars loaded with coal.-Ncw
