Attempt at Seduction.-The Philadelphia Sun,
OF tho 24th of July, says, "For few days past,
rumor has spread over Southwark, that the pastor
OF church in that district, who is married man,
attempted violence upon the person of a young la.
dy, member Of his congregation. We gave no
heed to the report, at the time, but have since
learned the full particulars from an authentic
source, and in order 10 dsabuse the public Of por
ton OF the rumor, we think we can say with safety
so much of the rumor as regards more than one fe-
male is untrue. Names Of four or five young Ia
dies have been mentioned, as having been crimi-
nally insulted by the minister, which is calculated
not only to cause them much grief, but to blast
their reputation forever. 1t appears that the
young lady in question is respectable, handsome,
amiable and prePossessng in her manners. She,
like many who belong to the various churches,
occasionally paid visit to her instructor at his
residence, and but a few nights ago, he accompa-
MED her homeward to the house Of one of her re.
lations, and followed her inland when in the
parlor he made overtures to hor she resisted, and
thus her alleged seducer was foiled in his crimi.
nal attempt.


The case will be brought up before an Ecclesi.
astical Court in three weeks, whom due satisfac-
ton and justice will be meted out to both parties.
In the meantime the Rev. gentleman has been
suspended however, from preaching, until the de.
cision OF the Court. Ii has been suggested to us
that the public had better suspend their opinion in
regard to the young ladies whose names have been
associated in this affair, with which Iney have 40.
thing to do.
