% .Tho. Evening Press states that a cowardly assault was made on a female at ono evening last week. It appears that a girl, employed as a domestic servant by a well-known resident in that legality, was returning from a visit to town shortly after eight o'clock, and reached about half way down the Kilburnfe side of tho, hill when a man rushed out of som.e scrub-by tho roadside seized her hand, and endoavored to drag her into some bushes. Her screams, howover, attracted the attention of some way farerfl, who were fortunately close at hand, and tho miscreant, seeing his attempt was frustrated, released tho girl and made over the hill towards Newtown, as fast as his legs could carry him.' The police have made all enquiries into the affair, and have as full a description of the girl's assailant aB could be expected under the circumstances, but his identification is most improbable, This is much to be regretted, for crimes of this nature increase by impunity, and are of the v.'orat character as regards the interests of society at large, and the peace and comfort of the cominunitv.
