OBERLIN "GoEs BACK on THE Ne
GRO. The Cleveland Herald, of yes
terday, has the following, which
indicates that the 'tblack-and- tan"
element is becoming too rank even
for that nest of Cufy's idolators: &
When Conductor Bruce, of the
Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad,
reached station some dis tflnce be-
yond the limits of the city, yester-
day morning, he found little colored
girl among his passengers, without O
ticket, who said she was going to
Washington. She claimed to have
been brought from that city by gen
tleman living in Oberlin, in which
place she has lived over year, and
alleged that her baggage had been
sent on to Washington by the trus-
tees of the township in which Ober-
lin is located. The trustees, she said,
stated there were too many colored
people in Oberlin now, and that they
were determined to weed out all who
were not able or have no disposition
to take care of themselves, remarking
that she was one of the class first
named. Mr.. Bruce transferred the
girl to Conductor Jenkins train,
bound North, at Alliance. Mr.. Jen-
kins delivered the prisoner to q
negro wencil from Oberlin, who hap
pened to be in the depot upon the
arrival of the train. The child is one
Of more than ordinary intelligence,
and remarked, when informed that
she must go back, that she would go
by way of Buffalo, q route on which
she was acquainted with all the con-
doctors, and one on which she would

name as Josephine Sister Lille Do
rothe Terry, and the name of dis
tinguished military officer as that of
her father.

MURDER two weeks ago,
some concern was excited by the dis
appearance of negro boy, living
with a MIR. Stewart, on the East side
OF the Catawba River, in this District.
Recently, letter was put in circula-
ton, purporting to have been re-
ceived from Columbia, S. c., stating
that the missing boy had been shot
in that place, while attempting to
steal some property. The circum-
stances aroused suspicion, and the
colored man who pretended to have
received the letter was at once appre-
hended. In his examination before n
magistrate, he denied, for awhile, any
knowledge of the missing boy; but
afterwards acknowledged that he had
been murdered by two other negroes
on Friday night, the oath of May,
who knocked him in the head with
an axe, and that the body had been
thrown into the Catawba River. The
body had not been found at last ac-
counts.
The freedmen in the vicinity where
this outrage was committed evinced n
laudable determination to hunt up
the guilty parties, and were anxious
to administer speedy justice to the
prisoner already in arrest, by swing
ing him to the nearest tree

ARREST AND EscApE.-A young
man, who gave his name as John W.
Davis, and claimed to be native of
Camden, but recently a resident of
Charlotte, n. c., was arrested at this
place, last week, by gentleman from
Pineville, N. c., upon the charge of
theft. AS we understand it, a reward
of $50 was offered for his arrest, and
the thief, suspecting, left the railroad
line, and was endoavoring to elude
capture by cutting across the coun-
try. Upon being taken before q
magistrate and searched, q ladies'
pocket book and note-described in
the reward-was found upon his per-
son, but no money. Our Jail being
deficient, he was placed in one of the
rooms of the court house, from which
he made an easy exit the following
night.-LoncnSte1' Ledger.
