Y,). despatch says the 15-year•old sister of Mrs. Hogan, of South iintta, Wayne County, was the victim of a horrible outrage on the evening of WecMee- day last. Being on a visit to her brother. in-law, Mr. Hogan, elle attracted the attest - tion of Joseph Smith, aged 25, a farm laborer about the neighborhood. Barly on Wednesday evening, after Mr. and Mrs. Hogan iad left home to attend qt wedding, Snaith went to ..Elogan'e house, knowing that he would find the young girl alone. The girl knew hire, as he had been employed upon her brother. in-law's place, and she was not frightened at first at his appearance. Soon after Smith confronted her in the kitchen he asked her to go into the parlor and play for him at the organ. She moused her- self, saying she must bring in the clothes which had been washed and hung out to dry. As she started for the door, to get cut of his presence,' he struck her from behind with hie fist, and felled her to the floor. She resisted and. struggled as best she oould, but two or three more blows about the head rendered het utterly unable to offer, f Other resistance, though in her terrible fright still retained. con- sciousness. Having overcome his victim, Smith took carefully from his pocket a stout cord, with tvhich he proceeded delib- stately to gag her and prevent any outcry. The gagging was done by tying the cord so tightly around her neck that she could utter no sound whatever. He then dragged her from the house into the orchard, awl oarried her thence some 25 rods, tearing off portions •of her clothing as he proceeded. He outraged and partially butchered the girl, inflicting a frightful wound upon her person With his knife. Tbis done, the dais- terdly craven fled from the scene of his °rinse and left the weak and then upcoriscious girl to die, as hesupposed. She was still gagged and bontid, as well as nearly snide, With scarcely anything to protect her from the daill frost of the night, and there She lay in a semi-conscious state, suffering, bleeding, and all but dying until morning. When Mr. and Mu. Hogan returned from the wedding they missed their girl and instituted a general aearoh, wilier Was only terminatedat 7 o'clock Thursday morning, by the finding of the poor girl as above described. When found she seethed to be dying from loss of blood and exposure. Haying been restored to consciousness she told all she knew about the outrage. Inquiries proved that the ruffian had got shaved in Wolcot on Thursday morning, and in the afternoon was seen, at North Huron head- ing for the lake, with, it le supposed, the intention of stowing himself away in a Canadian vessel, The following is a des; oription of the villain Height, - 5 feet, 9' Undies ; rather strong. built, shoulders a little stooping; light hair; moustache lately shaved off; light blue eyes ; large and prominent nose; rather slow in apeeck ; is a little peculiar ; wore dark pants, yellowish btown coat, nearly new, and new kip boots.
