A Rdpe.-We learn that II colored man
committed, or attempted TO commit q rape
upon the person of little white girl about
ten years of age, on the railroad, near Clay
mont, on Tuesday last, about three O'Clock
in the afternoon. We are told that the girl
is daughter oil the foreman ON the farm of
Thomas Kimber, Jr., Esq, and she had
been sent to Claymont on an errand. On
l,a nj I.n In
road, who seized hold of her, carried her in
to field near by, and violated or attempted
TO violate her person. The seoundrel then
fled coming down the road towards Viii.
mington. The Child succeeded in reaching
home and informed her parents Of the per-
fldiOus act, when her father and some of the
neighhors Immediately went in pursuit of
the villain hut without success. A thorough

hopes are entertained that the author OF the

ment.
An alteration at NeD CdStle.-An alter.
| cation took place at New Castle, on Tues.
day night, between Albert Butler, proprietor
OF the Steamboat Hotel, and Captain W.
Robinson, which resulted in the shooting Of
the latter, and The injury OF the fOrmcl.
There are various reports in circulation in
reference to the matter, from which we

both widowers and had a disposition to pay
their addresses to the same young lady. On
the evening OF the lracas, Butler and the
lady were taking walk, and were met by
| Captain Robinson and friend. Butler, WI
learn, alleges that Robinson followed him,
| be this as it may, Butler turned around, drew
out pistol and fired ut Robinson, the ball
taking effect in the fieshy part OF the leg,
lntlicling slight wound. This somewhat
lncensed Robinson who turned and struck al
Butler, who fell, injuring his head some
what, though not badly. lie Immediately
| Jumped up and sought refuge IN house in
the vicinity. Neither of the parties are
severely hurt.
