OUTRAGEOUS. 1t has recently
come to our knowledge that within
the last two weeks there have been
no less than FIVE cases OF assault
made on ladies of the highest re-
spectability, who have happened to
be out unescorted after night-fall,
by some villain or villains unknown.
In each of the cases the victims sue
ceeded in giving the alarm and
frightening the assailant from his
purpose. The ladies in question,
from natural feelings of delicacy,
have endeavored to keep the matter
as quiet as possible. but the alarm
ing frequency of the assaults have
rendered it absolutely necessary that
this matter should be brought to
the attention of the authorities and
that some precautions should be
taken to prevent a Te currance OF
these dastardly outrages. Matters
have indeed come to pretty pass in
the town, when a lady cannot appear
on the streets without danger of be-
ing insulted or assaulted.
THE merchants along the east side
of Commercial street are having the
dry moss removed from the roofs of
their stores, as a measure of precau
ton against fire. A spark alighting
on this moss has, before this. started
considerable fire.
The schooner Courser arrived
here this morning from San Fran
cisco. She loads lumber at Col
mans mill.
