Horrible Outrage.

The Red Wing Sentinel of the I'd inst
gives the following details Of a most iendish
outrage which was committed upon the person
of a Mrs. Andre:
On Tuesday last, a person entered the resi-
dence of Mr.. Andre, in the valley of Wells's
Creek, in this county, Mr.. Andre being absent,
and after the most desperate resistance on the
part of Mrs. Andre, during which her clothes
were torn almost entirely off her person, one
of her thumbs discolated, ana herself beaten
almost to insensibility, violated her person.
Mrs. Apdre had been pasgiedbut a short time
and had recently 6cef e6nfHed. Her babe
was also nearly killed in the Struggle.
A neighbor entered soon after the consum-
melton Of the deed, and reports the scene as
most horrible. The furniture broken and
strewn all about the room, the mother and
child covered with blood, and both shoekingly
bruised and injured. He Immediately, after
calling in the assistance of several female
friends, residing in the vicinity, raised the
whole neighborhood to search for the raviSher.
The whole country round about was secured
by armed men; but it being late in the day,
they were unable to discover him. The search
is still continued, and parties are stationed az
all the river and many of the interior towns
of the State, to watch for him. lie is describ-
ed as being very large and tall, with heavy
black whiskers, his front teeth gone, aud atout
30 years of age He was seen at this place
the morning before the commission of the out
rage, and also at w, Gotta about daylight the
next morning. He probably got over into
Wisconsin. Should he han&AA the pres
ent excited state of the community, his life
would be destroyed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Andre settled in the valley
about one year ago. They are very much re-
spected by the ~neighbors, and their sorrow is
shared and the outrage equally resented by
all

The Great Billiard Match.

The great match at billiards for $40, 900,
which has created so much excitement among
the sporting men of this country, came off on
Tuesday evening last, in the presence of some
hundred spectators, in Firemen's Hall,
Detroit, between Michael Phelan and John
Seereiter. The game was the American four
ball carom game, 1000 points up, and lasted
ten hours and a half. The largest runs made
by Phelan were 1919 and 1871; Seereiter's was
$50. Phelan beats him by 96.
