of the best of meat, for home consumption, with
a large surplus for expectation"
New JERsEY.-The Newark AdrertiSer says

hay crops are considerably larger than last year.

more than ordinarily good this season.
" In jersey and Greene counties the wheat

ScANDALoUs OUTRAGE.-On Wednesday af-

respectable citizen of this town were picking
blueberries in pasture near the Pratt road
so called, on the southwest side of Rollstone,
they were attacked by man who commenced
by offering violence to one of the party, a girl
of fourteen years, and in spite of her screams
and resistance, succeeded in inhicting upon
her violence of the vilest description. The
other girls, leaving the sister struggling with
the villain, fed to a neghboIing house to give
the alarm, and, speedily procuring assistance,
returned to the spot, but before they arrived
the villain had fed. Numerous parties of our
citizens Immediately set out in pursuit of him,
but have not yet secured him. He is described
as slender man, of medium height, dressed
in thin brown trock coat, black pants, and
Kossuth hat Great excitement exists, and
from the minute description given of the
sconndrel, it is to be hoped he may speedily
be apprehended. We also learn that an at

the recent outrages emigrants from free states,
in refusing to allow them to enter Kanzas by the

such refusal will have upon the interests of
Slavery. The Reporter says
81" The treatment of these Northern, men
raises a grave question for the consideration
Of every man who has an interest in the well
fare Of his country. Are the citizens of
other States to be deprived of their rights to
emigrates to Kanzas Are the principles of
the Kanzas bill TO be nulli6ed, aud the bands
of men stationed along the border to demand
a password before the citizens of neighbour
ing State can have the privilege Of going into
that Territoryi If this be the principle of
tho Kanzas bill, we shall be the last man ON
the green earth to endorse it. The whole
proceeding is an outrage, and cannot be de-
tended upon any correct principle. and the
consequence will be most disastrous TO the
whole country. Against such-a course of
policy we enter our protest, aud appeal to tho
good men Of all parties tot rebuke this wild
and blind folly Of few men, whose acts are
doing more to abolitionize Kanzas than even
the kanzas aid societies of Boston,"
