We give the following account of a hor-
rible outrage in Rutland, as taken from
the Herald, of Tuesday, July 9th:
On last evening there occurred in our
town one of the most brutal and beastly
assaults that it has been necessary for US to
record for some time. The parties are girl
of French descent named Mary Jane Parker
and three ruitans, whose names are not
| yet known.
The circumstances, as brought out on ex-
/ animation. are as follows The girl Parker
/ has been for some few days living at the
| house Of Charles Sherman in Clarendon,
where she has been az work as domes-
| tic. On yesterday she was in Rutland as
witness in a lawsuit, and after that was
! concluded she met q relative who was
! going away on the cars, and at his request,
She spent few moments in conversation
with nirn n the depot while he was waiting
for the train. After the train had depart
Cd. the girl set out to walk 10 her tenn
p0rary home, in Clarendon, having with
her an umbrella.
Shortly after leaving the village. she per
cciyed that she was pursued by a party of
youn- men Who did not al first accOst her,
but followed little distance behind her
while In sight of houses. In order to avoid
these men, the girl sought refuge in the
house ueXt cast of Kelley bridge and there
remained i3r some half an hour, hoping
that the party would pass on out Of her
way
After waiting sufficient length Of time,
as she Supposed, the girl came out of the
house and passed rapidly on in the direc-
ton Ot Mrs. Sherman house. After get
ting out of sight OF the house, she di-c0y-
cred that She was still pursued By the men,

The family of Mr.. Page were expecting
their friend, the young schoolmistress, on

The Beecher investigating committee met
this evening at the residence Of Mr.. Au-
gustus Storrs, Brooklyn. Ii was stated by
one of the members Of the committee that
no witnesses were examined, but that
the original letters copied in Mr..
Tllton's statement were submitted
to the committee for examination.
The committee will meet again to morrow
evening, when it IS believed that Henry
Ward Beecher and Mrs. Tilton will submit
their full statements. Mr.. Frank d.
Moulton would not say whether he had pre-
pared any statement for publication. An in
innate friend and admirer Of Mr. Bsecher
said that there were several parties who
had seen and read the original statement
made by Mr. Tilton exculpating Mr..
Beecher from all the charges prepared ,
against him by Mr.. Tilton, and that they
were prepared if summoned before commit
tee to swear to that fact.

RUTLAND.--The largest amount of con-
trabanl secured at any one time since the
Inauguration of the present temperance
movement, was obtained Yesterday at the
freigh, depot. Officer Perkins noticed a
number of casks aud barrels in the depot,
marked to parties in Port Henry, "to he
LETT in. Rutland till called for" and as he
had seen. among barrels previously con.
fscated. marks which were very similar in
impor, to these, he concluded to det"ir
them in Rutland for d short time. The
prospect at present is that the contents
will have ample time 10 become aged he
fore they reach their oste1sible destination
The following is a list of what was obtain
ell at the freight office one barrel beer

casks Bourbon whiskcy. marked TO j,
Kelley aud one cask Ross gin. marked
to j. Kelley. Each package was marked
for Port Henry. and also marked to be
left in Rutland till called for. fhe Officer
has deraried from his usual custom IN this
case, and has p sted nntice 10 parties
who wish to appear aud claim this lot,
This seizure has created the most excite.
ment of any since the frst. and we under
stand it is The most valuable lot Of its size
thus iiartaken.
Officer Perkins also made a friendly
cali upon Mr.. Bryan McDermot'. and he.
fore leaving made an Important discovery.
Nr. McDcrmoit occupies the front section
of the basement of Primers store. on
i Mere hant's Row. The rear s"cllun Mr..
Palmer occupies as a store room. Upon
measuring the store room amt the saluor
Ut Nj Dermoti, Mr. Parkhls discovered u
discrepancy Of several feet between tho
leugth of the store and the b~aseineni-ih,
basement being several feet shorter Of the
two. Mr.. Perkins at once proee, ded to
fed a solution o!the mystery and discover
where the discrepancy lay. Afiera little
search re discovered a small door which
led into a room about FIVE feet by eight in
size. lD this room he discovered ii bot
ties Of cider, 2 kegs of whiskey and two
jugs, all Of which wcro promptly con6s-
