DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE!— A Kegro attempts to commit a Rape upon a young Ij(uly !—lleuses a Knife and threatens to cut her heart out!— Great excitement in this community !—On Friday evening last, as Miss Nora Filler daughter of Capt. Jos. Filler was passing from the lower part of town to her home, a few hundred yards distant, just as she stepped from the northern end of the "wire bridge," she was met by a negro man, who walked past her, but imme diately turned about, seized her, at tempted to gag her, and threw her to the ground. It was then just dusk, but a cloud had arisen in the west and a violent storm was approaching, which rendered the evening rather dark.— Still, there was sufficient light for Miss Filler to recognize her assailant, and she called him by name, begging him to desist. He replied that he would "cut her heart out," if she resisted, and "would shoot her if she told on him," drawing a Knife as he said these words. Though frightened almost to death, the poor girl struggled heroically and succeeded in keeping her tiendish as sailant at bay until he heard the ap proach of some students going to town, which drove him away before he had ac complished his purpose. Halfdead with fright and terribly bruised, the young lady went toward her home, shriek ing and crying, and passed the night in a state of distraction. Parties who visited her the next day, informed us that her face was much cut, and that the marks of the negro's etforts to gag her are left on her throat and cheeks. Miss Filler, on Saturday evening, made information before Esq. Nico deiiius, charging John Brown, a negro lately a hostler in the stable of Mr. John Little, as the perpetrator of the crime. There was unaccountable delay in making the information and the affair was kepi so quiet that but few persons knew of it until Saturday evening.— When it became known, however, there was a universal expression of horror and indignation*, and every effort was at once made to arrest theeriminal. A reward of SIOO.OO was raised by the citizens, and squads started out in every direction W> find Drown. At this writ ing he has not been arrested. He is a short, thick set, stoop-shouldered fellow with a goatee, and is about twenty-five years old. One of his hands was cut in the struggle with Miss Filler. A NEW RAILROAD PROJECT.—John W.Duncan Esq., and other gentlemen of Pittsburg, and James Madara, Esq., and other leading citizens of Morrison's Cove, are agitating the building of a rail road from Newry, byway of Bloomfield Furnace, through the cove to Ilopewell. This is a very impor tant enterprise. It would develop the large and valuable deposits of hema tite iron and other minerals, along the route. It would ofi'er proper facilities to the farmers to transport their crops to market, and put the people of the Cove in more direct communication with Bedford. We hope this enter prise may be successful. There is also another project sugges ted, viz: the extension of the Holli daysburg and Newry railroad to Cum berland, Md. The people of Union, St. Clair, Be iford and Cumberland Val ley townships, would be greatly bene fited by the success of this scheme and there is no reason why it should not be successful, if prosecuted with the prop er energy. In the first place, we need legislation ; there must he liberal char ters for the companies that will under take to build these roads. Much, there fore, will depend upon the character of our representatives at Harrisburg. In view of these facts, we ask, ought not every friend of railroad improve ments, vote for Hon. W. P. Schell? THE LADY'S FRIEND, for October, is unusually interesting and attractive, and cannot fail to please all who are for tunate enough to possess it. Price (witii engraving) $2,50 a year; Four copies (with one engraving) $O.OO. One copy of Lady's Friend and one of Saturday Evening Post (and one en graving), $4.00. Address Deacon & Pe terson, 319 Walnut Street, Philadel phia, SABBATH SCHOOL Pic NlC.—About four months since, a few persons, anx ious for the glory of the Redeemer and for the good of those around them, es tablished a Union Sabbath School at Maj. Burns' School House, in Juniata Tp. Into this school about forty chil dren have been gathered, many of whom never saw such a school before. Under the Superintendency of Mr. McKinney, the school has pros|>ered. The attendance of the scholars has been regular and a good work is evidently being done. For the benefit of the scholars, a Pic Nic was given on Thursday, Sept. 19th., in a shady grove, near the School House. As the day was fair, the sur roundings inviting, the scene novel, : old and young appeared on the ground | at an early hour, prepared for the en j joyment of the day. Seats were arranged for the School and a stand erected for the Speakers. The exercises soon opened with singing and prayer. School addresses were then delivered by Rev's X. H.Skyles, and J. H. Donaldson. After which those present gathered around the ta ble so plentifully spread by the friends of the school, and when all were fed, there were taken up of fragments some baskets-full. When the provisions were discussed, "the children of larger and smaller growths," scattered about among the trees to spend the day as circumstances and inclination might suggest. ONE PRESENT. 0 TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.—The follow ing resolutions were unanimously adop ted by Saxton Lodge, No. 575 I. O. of G. T., Sept. 10th, 1807 : Inasmuch as it has pleased Almighty God, in the dispensation of his provi dence, to remove from the world our worthy brother, William 11.

GRAY HAIRS may not mar one's good looks and in many cases even improve the appearance, but as a general rule are considered objectionable and many devices are resorted to to prevent or get ril of them. We know of no mode so little troublesome or objectionable as the use of Ring's Vegetable Ambrosia, an article which of late has become so immensely popular as a toilet article and beautitier. It is easily applied, re stores gray or faded hair, prevents, and in many cases cures baldness, cleanses the scalp and leaves the hair in splendid condition for arranging.
