Oberlin, Ohio, has a new sensation.


Two young ladies attending school there were poisoned by a third who was jealous of the attentions paid them by young gentlemen, and complaint was lodged against her before a magistrate.  But, ere she could appear for trial, she was assaulted by some men in disguise, and so roughly handled that she has since been unable to leave her room.
