AN OUrRAGE.-We learn that on Thurs
day an atrocious outrage was attempted by
negro man upon the wife of Mr. Aired, AT
her hou,e, on the SiddOn place, in the upper
part OF this county. The efforts of the
brave woman, and her screams, which at
tracted the neighbors, defeated the tiendish
>coundrel in his diabolical purposes. 1t is
said he succeeded in robbing Mr. Alred's
premises of ValuableS, including watch,
and has thus far eluded arrest. The colored
people are, we learn, greatly incensed at
the outrage, and the whole community is
aroused. and no doubt the scoundrel will be
dealt with summarily- Mr.. Aired was a
grand juror and absent fro n home at the
time OF the assault upon his wife.
