Daring Outrage.A most daring outrage and assault was committed upon the dwelling house of Mr.Win.1 Epse, Jr. one of our ipost quiet andj • « mrespectable citizens, ot ;a laue hour on Sat-urday oipht las?, by a gang of rowdies fromthis vilUijre it sefemm that t»ome ten or a' « • ^ dozen of these rowdies went to his house, (3miles north) demanded admittance, and onbeing refused, commenced bteaking in the door and demolishing the windows by throwing io large stones. Mr. Rose and bis agedrevolutionary sire ' (Col. Rose) defendedthemselves as they best could. Mr. Rose fired a gun loaded with shot through one ofthe windows, which only further exasperated the scoundrels. A near neighbor, aroused by the crash and noise, ran to Mr. Rose*#relief, re-loaded the gun, fired and wonndedtwo of the ruffins, one rather severely. They then withdrew, after firiug a pistol throughone of the windows, the ball passing nearthe head of Col. Rose, burying itself in theopposite ceiling. The object of the assailants, as avowed by them, was to carry off two respectable young Jadies, daughters of Mr. Rose, who were on a visit to their father’s from Ithaca. Col. Rose was injured by one of the stones, which struck his side.— Fortunately, if not miraculously, the rest of« 7 W 1the family escaped injury. Several of thewindows, both in the first and second stories,♦were completely demolished^ sash, j^lass and all. Tiie villains are known; and warrants.having been issued; officers arc in pursuit of them. We trust they will be arrested and severely punished.
