RuffianlV Outrage.

AS ii young lady was passing through
Central street to her home, about nine
o'clock Saturday evening, man came
ont from the rear of the st. JOhnsbury
House and passed her. When between
Summer and Spring streets, he turned
suddenly, and placing one hand over
her mouth threw the other arm about
her and raised her from the ground as
though he would carry her off. She
screamed two OF three times as well us
she could. when he dropped her and
ian away in the darkness. The Young
woman thinks she knows the man, and
the officers are ''laying" for him; and
we hope they will have better success
than they did in discovering the woman
inSultcr who infested our place last
year. If woman isn't safe in our
streets after dark. it is time the people
knew it,

New Patent.

Col. Franklin Fairbanks has fatcly
received Il patent for improvement in
Scalr-hcams, which is likely to prov,
of much utility in the line of industry
where this class of scales is used. \
little explanation will help the reader
to understand its benefits Coal miners
mine 10y the ton. Heretofore each min
cr'S product as brought out from the
mine. has had to he weighed on Il
small scale and then loaded upon Il rail
road ear. BY this invention IL single
scale supports the large car. and the
weight is quickly noted after each min
cr's ear is dumped therein. This is
done on separate beams ut the foot al
the main beam. When the ear is loaded
the entire weight is determined in tn,
usual way. Ii is necessary to weigh
the small loads separately in order t'
give the proper credit to the several
miners for the quantity of material
hauled ont 10y them. This invention
allows the whole to be performed will
