The notorious rowdies of Baltimore in imita-
ton of the custom of more respectable people have
of late been visiting the country, and in the pur-
suit of their flvorite pastime of shooting, stabbing
and Staying, they have sought the quiet groves
and pleasant retreats of She suburbs. We have
several times announced their appearance at pic
mic parties, and it has more than once been our
duty to describe the manner in which they had
participated in the amusements of Sunday School
excursion. Indeed, on the recent National holt
day they left town in such numbers that their
absence was the subject of very general comment,
and our streets and lanes were remarkably free
from the bloody sacrifices that are habitually made
to American independence, the few men and boys
who were killed on that patriotic occasion, having
encountered their ftes beyond the confines of the
city, and without the jurisdiction of the Municipal
Police. We had cherished the hope that in their
expeditions into Baltimore, Hartford or some other
neighborng county, the desperadoes might fall
INTO the hands of sheriff's posse and finally re-

punishment which has so long been denied them
