A Rescue.—A young girl, the daughter of a widowed mother, was enticed into a house of notorious character, on Betts street. Last evening her mother learned where she was, and proceeded to the house to get her away. As she entered the house, a smoothing-iron was hurled at her by a malicious Amazon. The enraged mother picked up the missile, and returned it with so much better aim as to lay her assailant on the floor with no pleasant feelings about the head. A crowd soon collected, and the girl was rescued from this den of infamy. Considerable disposition was manifested to 'clean out' the abominable nuisance.—Cin. Nonpareil.
