Onancock.

Horace Costin, a young negro desperado, who has frequently been before the town authorities for riotous conduct and has served a term in the county jail, terrorized Holly Grove, a colored settlement on the suburbs of Onancock, last night, and wound up by shooting an old colored woman named Rebecca Bayly in the shoulder, inflicting a painful wound. Costin has not yet been found by the officers who are in search of him.
