farm, which was flawing at a lively rate,acd
the Bwsmp Angel well, on the Wash Mo
Clinlock farm, In Wild Cat Hollow, which
was flowloa: 200 lo 30 barrels dally. After
tho refinery was completed, th flrarjuniof
oil was mad,! the, lutti day of February,
1863. Tbe only means ol getting tbe oil to
tbe relnery was by pumping It by band
into largo hogsheads, banting it across the
Creek from tba Egbert farm, sometimes by

committed a ahorttiine s.oce upon the per
son of a little girl, between ten and eleven
years old, residing with Mr. Orr, wbo lives
about four miles from this place, by a

ticulars, so far as we can lesrn them, are as
rnllows: The little girl bad been sent to
Keefei's Factory store, on an errand. In a
lonely patb tbrongb the woods, sbe was met
by this monster in human form, wbo seized
tbe poor cbl d and violated ber poison In
the most brutal manner. Tbe child was lo
much injured by tbe ssssult, tbal abs oould
oot accomplish her errand, and she return
ed home. Here the child's condition was
so manifest, tbat upon being questioned sbe
related Ibe full particulars or tba outrage,
The oame or tbo little girl Is Davis. Her
mother is dead, and Mr. Orr bad taken her
to raise. Albert was arrested and Isken
before Jifq. SbannoB, wbo admitted him to
ball for bis appearaoce al court, Tbe bail
was giyeo. It is a pity tbat .such offences
