Newark Ledger tells of young lady Oi
Philadelphia, who was visiting Stephen
Ash. on Chestnut Hill, and while en-
gagged in gathering Autumn leaves was
assaulted by an unknown man and
seriously injured. 1t appears that
while the young lady was busily en-.
gagged in gathering leaves, the man ap.

dently thought he had killed the cir
and after dragging her body into the
bushes, made his escape. Except the
cash across the breast, the young lady
was not otherwise injured.
