NJ gins Disgusting Results of
Radical Teaching.

A strange couple came up from Erie, on
the Lake Shore Road, Saturday evening
exciting the disgust and intense curiosity
Of every passenger in the car. It com
prised sooty, greasy negro, and pretty
white girl. whom he had married the day
before at Erie. The girl evidently felt g
great deal Of shame at her situation, for
she kept herself doubly yelled, and looked
out of the car all the time. Her "Othello, .
however, was all passionate tenderness and
attention. We have learned the antece-
dents OF the pair, which we lay before our
readers
On Thursday last, a tall, gaunt, very
black negro, about forty years of
age, registered at the Morton House,
Erie, as william Lindsey aud wife

the ntXt morning, he went to Oberlin after
her. Il happened that the girl-Carrie
Brown by name--however, was en- route
for Erie to join her lover ugh :. and the

At Erie and learning the state Of affairs
Carrie remained in tho depot till evening,
when Lindsey returned from Oberlin.-
They then went to the hotel and asked to

wife. Andrews answered in the afirma-
tive. The landlord then INTERCEPTED the
lady who was beautiful young Irish girl.
She said they tcere not get married, but that
they had come for the purpose of being
married. The two were then told that they
mast produce Il certificate Of marriage be

NnItiug, of Erie, and were married.

Of writing poetry and prose. His name Is
Andrew
The person that Was drowned, and was
supposed to be her son, was not hers, but
had been exchanged in infancy for her
Legitimate chil0, according to the c0nfes-
sion OF lady who lately died. This con
fesslOn, with other letters and documents,
