SINGULAR FREAK OF YOUNG FEMALE. The
Rockville Journal has the following account of
a singular freak of young female:
On Monday evening last, a youth, apparent
ly, between Ia and Is years Of age, appeared
in male attire, at the house Of MIR. VIM. Mus
ser, in this county, and asked for lodging
While there, it was asCertained that this youth
was not Of the sex which her clothing indicat-
ed, but female travelling through the coun-
Try under this guise. She was brought to this
place on the following morning, and is now at
the house Of Mr.. Michael II. Letton. She has
given the following account Of herself to seve-
raj persons who have visited her-Her name is
Sophia Newcamp-her parents reside in Wash
ington county, Pa whence she was sent to a
boarding school in Allegheny county, of the
same State. While there, her teacher put her
name upon the black board for some offence
When an opportunity offered, she effaced her
name, for which she was threatened with ex-
pusion Fl ON the school. To avoid this dis
grace, she determined to wander about the
country. She left Allegheny county the last
May and selected male apparel to secure her
from insult.

COT. CAPRoE's TROOP. The following para
graph relative to this beautiful company, we
copy from the American of yesterday :-"The
Maryland Light Horse, commanded by Colonel
Capron, which were SO much admired by our
citizens on the occasion of their visit Oh the
Twelfth of September, spent day last week
at Doughoregon Manor, by invitation of its
hospitable owner, Col. Carroll The guests
were received about mile from the mansion
by the Howard Light Horse, commanded by
Col. Carroll, in true military style. After a
parade in an extensive field, the military and
other visitors, numbering in all about three
hundred persons, sat down in a handsomely
ornamented pavilion erected for the purpose,
to sumptuous entertainment. Toats, songs
and speeches contributed to the enjoyment Of
the company, and the events on the Rio
Grande and in Mexico were ably discussed -
The memory of Watson and Of Rlnggold was
drunk with due solemnity, and the mournful
music of the band gave expression to the sor-
row which filled every heart at the thought of
their melancholy though glorious fate.
