BOLD ATTEMPT AT AN INFAMOUS OUTRAGE.
On Monday afternoon at about O'Clock q
desperate attempt at outrage was made by
negro within half mile of Dover, Della
ware. His intended victim is u Miss Flick.
young lady of sixteen or seventeen years
Of age, who has recently moved to that
neighborhood from Pennsylvania. She had
been in the town attending the monday
prayer-meeting, and was on her way home,
when she was suddenly seized by the wretch.
A violent struggle ensued, during which the
young lady successfully resisted him until
her screams had called assistance, where
upon the negro turned and fed. The gen.
tlcman who had been called by the lady's
screams, az soon as he picked her up,
started in pursuit of the negro, but was I'M
able to oYertake him. Miss Flick was Sc
verely hurt about the throat, the villain
having tried to choke her, and she was also
much bruised about the limbs. She says
she would know the man if she were to see
him. Two men were arrested, but both
were discharged, as the young lady declared
neither of them to be the guilty party

NORTH CAROLINA AHEAD.-There is q
man living in the mountains of North Caro-
lima, not more than forty miles from Green
vile, S. c., says the Tarboro' ICarolinian,
who has reached the extraordinary age of
one hundred and forty-three years. At the
time of Braddock's defeat he was twenty
years ole, and had wife and three chill
dren. A gentleman at Greenville states
that this man has come down to us from a
former generation, has always been in
moderate circumstances, lived upon plain,
coarse, vegetable diet that he has never
drank any liquid but spring water, and
bids fair to live many years longer. He
enjoys perfect health, possesses all of man
hoods attributes, and wants to marry. He
has survived seven wives, and having lost
his last one about sixty years ago, he now
begins to feel quite lonely.

The Pore AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
The London Catholic Mirror gives some in
cidents of an audience which the Pope gave
to the American bishops. The writer thus
mentions the Pope's reference to religious
liberty:
"He then referred to the subject of
liberty of religious worship, which, he said,
in view of the establishment of His Church
by our Lord as the ark of safety and sal
walton, with his positive revelation of the
truth, could not be recognized in principle,
since all were bound to hear, believe, and
obey God but which might, however, from
particular circumstances of diversity of
sects and denominations, become o social
necessity, as it is, he said, in the United
States, where there are 80 many different
religions. He then, laughing, called to
mind the declaration Of Mr.. Cass, the for
mer American Minister at Rome, telling
him that the United States was the most
religious country in the acorld,' having
churches and creeds of every sort, to suit
oil sentiments, views, and opinions. 1t was
certainly desirable that all should believe
and obey the one truth, and where they
| were thus divided into creeds and churches
there was nothing to be done but to leave
them to their responsibility to God. In the
United States, said he, the Church is left
free with the rest, and I see not how there
could be any arrangement there which
could be more favorable to her" He adds
81 noticed that several of the bishops,
when leaving, placed On the Pope's table
the offerings of their dioceses. Toward
the last the Archbishop of San Francisco
came forward with his gifts, among which
was splendid gold snuf-box filled with
gold pieces, from twenty dollar pieces down,
all California gold-sent, I believe, by DR.:
Cooke, Vicar General of the Archdiocese Of
San Francisco. The Pope was seemingly
delighted with the Offering, and as the
Archbishop of Baltimore, before leaving,
rendered the Pope pinch of snuff from his
box, the Holy Father, accepting it, said,
Your snuff is very fine; but said he,
pointing to the California box, this is far
preferable'"

HERoIsM OF Young LADY.-Eunice
Redman, the daughter of a Jackson county
farmer, was awakened the other night by
peculiar noise under her chamber win
dow. Peering out, she saw man slowly
ascending a ladder which he had placed in
position with the evident intention of en-
tering her apartment. Being young lady
of spirit aud resolution, she instantly de-
cided on her course of action. Keeping out
of sight and very quiet until the man was
some fifteen feet from the ground, she
leaned out, grasped the top of the ladder,
and instantly threw it over. The fellow
gave yell of horror which awoke the male
members of the family, who, on rushing to
the scene of the midnight disturbance, cap.
tured q stranger with broken leg, and
having on his person sundry burglars
tools and deadly weapons.-Ne,o York Eve-

travelling one hundred and thirty miles in

hospitable folks, who soothed his bruises
and sent him off to Charleston by the next

The HIGH BRIDGE.-It seems to be a
fixed fact now that the new iron bridge will
soon take the place of the wood superstruc-
ture of the High Bridge. Alarge number
of hands are now upon the ground in charge
Of Messrs. Cox and Wells, building shan
ties, &C., preparatory to grading the tenn
porary track around the bridge, in order
that there may be no detention in the run
ming Of the cars while the new bridge is
being erected. The temporary track will
diverge from the main track, running
through the lands of Mr.. Samuel Bondu-
rant, crossing the river near the residence
Of Mr.. George Vaughan, and thence
through the land of Mr.. II. G. Richardson,
interesting the main road again near Mrs.
Overton's house.
The building of this iron bridge at this
time is but another of the many evidences
that General Malone is the greatest rail-
road man of the age. Long may he live to
reap the reward of his energy and talent.

THE CRops-We learn that the wheat
crop in this and adjoining counties is look
ing badly. The long drought last fall pre-
vented the farmers from sowing wheat until
the season was far advanced, and in conse-
quence the crop will probably fall far below
the average. The farmers are preparing
TO plant large corn crop, and are awaiting
themselves of the present beautiful weather
to pillow their corn land.-Harion Herald.
HoAICIDE.-We regret to learn that
serious affair occurred last Monday night
at the house of Rev. Hezekiah Smith, in
this county, in which two citizens came to
their death by the hand of James Smith.
The particulars, as we learn, are as fol-
lows:
James Smith, -- Ragsdale, his broth
er-in-law, and - Wellington, his ne
pbew, had been to this place on Monday,
and had quarrel while here. Upon get
ting to the residence of Hezekiah Smith,
the difficulty was renewed, resulting in the
killing of Ragsdale and Washington by
Smith. We learn that the parties had
been drinking pretty freely. No arrest has
been made, as there is no magistrate in
that district.
