DEFERRED LocALs.-Seyeral local items of
interest at the time were crowded out of our
columns last week by the pressure of more
important matter; one or two Of them may
still be worth mention.
y small boat containing a man and a wo-
man was run down and swamped by the
steamer United States, near Split Rock, on
Thursday evening. The man was saved by
clinging to the wheel, but the woman was
drowned. No fault attaches to the
pilot, as the small boat had no light, and the
persons in it gave no alarm.
a span Of black horses belonging to Lei
and jackson of Westiord, ran away on
Thursday, on the Shelburn road. Overtak-
ing Col. Fred. Fletcher of Shelburn, driving
into town, they ran right into him, driving
the pole of the wagon through the back Of
his buggy, and almost turning 1t over. Col.
Fletcher succeeded in keeping in his buggy.
and in stopping his horse, which also ran a
short distance, Mr.. Jackson's horses soon
upset and left the wagon, and were finally
stopped near the College. Results, bruiss
IN Col Fletcher's face, some injuries to the
horses. and about SIS worth of damage to
he vehicles.

a BAD BoY-On Sunday the llth inst.
Edward Foss, son of AbIaham Foss. of
Fairfax, stole from his father one thousand
dollars in 80 bonds, and left for parts IN
known. The theft was committed about 6
O'Clock, PM. soon after young Foss was
seen in company with a son Of c. c. Cady on
the road to Georgia Depot. On being dis
covered they left the road at this point, and
went north.
The correspondent who sends US this
item, adds pertinent moral to the effect
that crime and disgrace is the natural re-
suit OF the course of the boy who " contents
himself lOunging around the village tavern,
and loves the card table better than the
school room.

From the Urbana UniOn,l
COIOFed Population i'm Ohio

We copy from the Urbana Union o.
14th January, 1863, q table showing The
colored population In Ohio, which VIZ
then compiled from the census Of 1860
1t was Mr.. Kellogue, of Ashtabula,
who made himself conspicuous by forcing
on the amendment Of negro vote in Ohio,
by way of echo to Congress. 1t will be
seen that his county contains rs negroes,
or one black to 1871 white. SO was il
with John Sherman, whom making a
speech in the United States Senate in IA
vOr of Emancipation in the District Of
Columbia; he told the Senate that we
did not like Degroes ID Ohio. He judged
Ohio By Richland county, where bO lives.
and depicted his owu county SO truly,
that in q population Of 81, 140 only 18
negroes could be found, and in other
counties around him the rigor is even
greater. 1t seems over thus, that the
professed special friends Of the negro
make his residence among them impOsSi-
BILE. The blacks prefer to. live among
those who do not seek to make them vo.
ters; and they will not live among those
who do.
In 1860 the total colored population
in. Ohio was 36,673. This population is
is very uuequally distributed, two thirds
Of the whole number being found in
twenty counties in Southern and Eastern
Ohio, and very nearly one half of tie
whole number in ten counties. Ten Of
the counties containing tho smallest
number contain but SO blacks, and the
next ten but 341, making 399 in twenty
counties. 1t may possibly occur to some
member of the Legislature 10 make
cheap map, with the numbers in each
county, and hang it in the passages where
members congregate, as key to votes on
the subject.
We furnish two tables--onh showing
the actual number in each county, pro'
eeeding from the largestto to the least num-
ber; the other showing the proportion
which the blacks bear to the whites in
the respective counties, The proportion
for the whole State is one black 10 Cd
whites, and it is little curious that JEFF
ferson county is number 18 in each of
the lists:

no other remedy, at least for those
who have simply been ruined by
