A USEFUL INvENTIoN.-An invention des-

bring rich returns 10 the inventor, is an iron
gate recently completed by Mr.. ]. 0. Nc
'Cutchen of this county. 1t is designed to
substitute the cattle guards between fields
along the line OF a railroad and fills the bid o
dot. The gate operates automatically. AS
the cowcatcher Of the engine touches the
platform it disappears from view and remains
down until the last car passes over. 1t then
springs into position and unites the line of
fence on each side, thus effectually barring
stock A test of this Invention was made on
\ he Valley railroad last week, with complete
success. 1t worked perfectly. Engines were
run over it backwards and forwards at various
speeds, without the slightest difficulty. In
deed the invention supplies long felt want
and We hope will be generally adopted and
bring TO its owner fortune.

An Attempted Outrage.

On last Friday, negro man, named
Willis Lester. was brought to this place by
Constable Allen, and lodged in Jail, having
been committed by Justice Harris of Cox s
district, on charge of attempt to rape a
young white girl in that district. 1t seems
that Mr. George Shaw, the father of the
girl was from home, which this negro knew,
and he entered the young lady's room at
night and placed his hand on her person.
which aroused her from sleep. The negro
spoke to her when she recognized his voice.
Her mother awoke about the same time
and called to her daughter when she re-
sponded that some one was in the room.
This frightened the negro aud he ran out of
the room. Next day warrant was sworn
out charging Lester with the attempted
outrage. Upon being arrested and tried he
confessed the part he played, and was
bound over, and will be tried at November
term of Cobb Superior Court.
