motive prompts the patrons of New

every one has a right to send his sons

although considerably lower than that of

found quite adequate to provide for the

which Reyersionary Bonuses, averaging
81 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members Of the Society.
Its career during a period of % years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of the

as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,

FIENDIsH OUTRAGE.

A white Woman Raped by Negro.
On Wednesday evening last, about sum
down, in the neighborhood OF Clifton, five
or six miles from the city, fiendish out
rage was perpetrated on white woman BY
negro man who is well-kDown In the
neighborhood, but whose name we could
not ascertain. The lady, we understand,
is Mrs. Moore, who has been recently liv-
ing on the premises of James Cockrill, Esq,
but who, several weeks ago, removed to the
place where the outrage was committed.
To accomplish his heIlish purpose, the ne
gro assaulted and choked her in such a
manner that IL is doubtful whether she
will recover from tho injuries received.
Wm.. Wiles reached the place just
after the brutal negro had accom-.
plished what he intended. The negro
seeing Mr.. Wiles approach, fed precipiate-
ly, and was soon out of reach. About
O'Clock yesterday morning, party of five
or six armed themselves and proceeded to
the house where the negro resided, and sur
rounding the building, they supposed they
woald have no trouble in capturing their
game, but notwithstanding the vigilance
employed the darkey surprised the party
and made good his escape, five or six shots
being fred at him as he departed. The
neiehbors were still on the search for him,
but up to this time of writing we have not
heard of his capture. It is to be hoped he
will be arrested and meet that punishment
he deserves.
