An Outrage in Reddfng-An Old Offender
 Suspected.

Friday, June 22d, mulatto fellow went to the house of one of the best families in the town of Bedding and finding the lady of the house alone he took an old dress and flung it over her head, and then having tied her hands behind her tried to commit an outrage upon her, but was finally frustrated. He ransacked the house but only stole & small sized revolver. He was around the house nearly an hour and then left, leaving the woman tied until her husband returned from his work. The house is on an unfre. quented road. The matter was kept quiet for some days, only few officers knowing of it. thinking they could find him, but when the North Salem outrage came out, and no doubt but the same fellow committed
 both crimes, the matter became pub- l lie. Suspicion rests on one Sam Pine, 8 notorious fellow, about thirty years of age, light color and quite dressy. He was
 sent to prison from Philadelphia Centen- nial year, for burglary, but broke out before his time expired. A reward was offered at i that time for his arrest, but he was never i arrested. Last summer he broke into the depot at Bedding and stole about $2O in money and some goods, then went to Dan bury and stole horse and carriage from
 Crosby's stable and drove to York State. Mr. | Crosby recovered the horse and carriage, but
 Pine kept clear of the officers. The night
 before the outrage he tried to break into Dr. Wakeman's house, but only succeeded in
 getting some provisions from the milk room | window.
