A Young Girl Assaulted.
ATTACKED BY A NEIGHBoR WHILE IN
HER FATHERS ORCHARD.

In the northwestern neck of Caroline
County, Md, dwell the families of
James @. Johnson and VIM. Seward.
The families were neighborly, and the
other day Seward went to Johnson's to
assist in picking peaches. A daughter
of Johnson, Miss Emma, aged IL years,
was in the orchard assisting to pick
the peaches. While her father went
10 the railroad station with a load of
peaches she and Seward remained at
work. During Johnson's absence Sew
ard assaulted the young girl. The vic
TINS recital of the crime is as follows:
She cheerfully helped to pick the fruit
so that a load might be ready for her
father on his return from the station,
four miles distant. No other person
was on the premises save the young
girls mother, who was at the house,
out of hearing. The father had not
been long absent. The girl and Sew
ard were at work but a few yards apart,
she with her back toward him. She
suspected nothing nor was warned of
her peril until she found herself in the
strong embrace of the man, who ap-
preached her from behind. After COM
hitting the assault he went toward the
house. Here he called on Mrs. John
SON for what was coming to him for
work for her husband. She observed
his excited manner and asked why
he had quit so suddenly in the midst
of the pressing work of getting the
peaches ready for market. Upon her
inquiry for her daughter as to why it
was that she had not come up to the
house with him, Seward stammered,
" she is out there sick, but / didn't
hurt her." The mother hurried to the
orchard and found her daughter lying
PROSTATE and unconscious. Her per-
SON and clothing and the surroundings
bore evidences of a desperate struggleir
resisting the assault. She did not re
gain her strength for hours. The mar
left the premises as soon as the mother
started in search of her daughter. III,

New POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS
will prove IL memorable year in the
history of the postal service. At least
two important changes go into effect
within few days, both of which may
be accepted rs evidence of the advance
ment and prosperity of the system.
Last Monday, September 3, the new
Postal Notes were put in use for the
first time in this country. These will
be a great convenience in sending
small sums of money. Any amount
from one cent to four dollars and nine
ty-nine cents may be sent in this way
through any post Office in the country,
the charge being only three cents.
Four weeks later, October LIST, the new
rate for letter postage will go into
effect with saving of just one-third to
the correspondent. The present rate
of three cents letter will be reduced
to two cents, the same rate which is
now charged for local or city delivery
letters. The rates for these local letters
will not be affected by the change,
which only applies to regular letters
sent through the mail bags.

THE USUAL REsULT.-It is not to be
denied that Il good sewing machine is
one of the most important appurten-
ances of the modern household.
We thought we had Il good machine
until one day the agent of the NeaU
Home presented himself at our door
and proceeded to deliver an Grafton
upon its characteristic merits.
But" we answered, "our machine
suits us well and we do not care for
another"
The agent, however, begged the
privilege of leaving one of his machines
with us, for the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable,
so we granted it-but more to oblige
the agent than anything else; for we
really did not want the machine, and
had not the remOtest idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, it
was natural that the ladies should look
it over; they did so, and as consequence
fell in love with it. They say that
without the slightest wish to decry or
disparage any other machine, this, all
things considered, is, in their opinion,
! the most desirable one to be had.
This unrivalled machine is manufac-
| tured by the NeiU Home Seeming Machine
