Church, the report of its faithful
Superintendent, Col. H. D. Hopkins, was
presented, which gives the following in
teresting summary as evidence of its
prosperity: There was 90 teachers and
classes in 1866; there are now % classes
in successful operation. Whole number
OF scholars 276; average attendance l78.
Fifteen members of the school have
united with the Congregational church
and two with other denominations. The
fact is stated that all who have united
with the church the past four years, by
profession of faith, have been connected
with the school with the exception of
two. Among the deaths noted was that

seeing him coming back, became alarmed
and closed and locked the door. When
the negro, whose brutal passions were
now fairly aroused, found that his en-
trance had been barred, he went off a
short distance to pile of stones, and,
arming himself with a number OF these
missiles, he approached the door,and with
threats the most horrible, demanded ad-
mittance. Finding that be could not

her now frightened children began to
scream; when the negro told them he
would kill them if they did not desist
The brute then took hold of the mother
and dragged her to the barn, where he
succeeded in accomplishing his hellish
purpose. His victim was found in a suf.

A Horrible Outrage i'm Florida.

We are called upon to chronicle one
of those diabelical outrages which have
too frequently within year or two past
shocked the public mind in the South
1t occurred in this county on the evening
of Friday last, two or three miles beyond
Callahan, on the line of the Florida rail-
road, and about twenty miles fro m
this city.
A man named James Rollason, with
his family. resides at this locality. Last
week, Mr.. Rollason being very i'll. the
relatives Of the family living in Colum.
bia county were written to, and two Sis
ters of Mr.. r. started down to their as
sistauce On arriving at Baldwin their
money was exhausted, and they were
compelled to continue their journey on
foot. Arriving at point on the railro ad
where Mr.. Hill, Section Master, had his
camp, they inquired of him how far it
was to Rollason's and he informed them.
They proceeded along the line of the
railroad, but had not gone far when they
were oyertaken by colored (mulatto)
man, whom they recognized as having
seen in the camp He at once endeavor-
ed to make himself agreeable, and told
them they were not correctly instructed
at the camp; that instead of three or four
miles, it was twenty or twenty five miles,
on the railroad, to Rollason's but that. he
knew a near cut across the country which
be would show them, by which they
would reach Rollason's 10 an hour s
| time.
The young woman at once became sus-
picious Of him and declined his services,
saying they could 6ud their way without
him. Being foiled in his plans, the fel-
low began to use abusive and vulgar Ian
guage, they paying no attention to him,
but hurrying on as fast as they could,
being terribly alarmed, and he following
them. Soon growing more desperate be
made a rush tor the elder one, (who is
about twenty-five years of age) when her
sister, screaming and with a billet OF wood
in her hand, rushed upon the devil, who
knocked her senseless to the ground
The other, trying to escape fell over
some crossties, when he seized her, and
after a terrible struggle outraged her
person.
