THE LAW PARADE.-The first regular law parade
for the year, OF the First Light Division of Mary
land Volunteers will take place at o'clock to-day.
| The SD Regiment will assemble in Monument
Square, the Rife Regiment on Holiday street, and
| the 5th Regiment on Gay street. The force of the
| SD Regiment will be materially increased to-day
by the appearance in parade of the four Companies
| c. ID. L. and F. of the Maryland Guard. The
! Guard will parade in a simple fatigue dress, not
| having yet adopted uniform. No arms having
been furnished these Companies by the State they
| will appear, Companies G, ID. and E. with Minnie
muskets loaned to them by the City Guard, Com
| pany F. with muskets loaned them by the Inde-
no arms with which to learn the elements of sol
diers duty, and but little opportunity for theoreti
cal or practical instruction, the progress made by
the Guards is extremely creditable, while the dis
position shown by the members of the corps to i'm
| prove the military organization of city, de-
serves every encouragement. Such corps the
| Maryland Guards if properly sustained by cit
izens and udiciously aided by the authorities, can
| not fail to reflect upon city, and in case of
| emergency, would prove an invaluable protection.
The Towson Guards, of Towsontown, whose uni
| form is similar to the Independent Greys, and who
are also attached to the SD will make their first
parade to-day. The Greys appear in a new uni
| form cap recently procured from New York, and
will be commanded by their Captain, j. Lyle
Clark. The Division line will be formed on South
| Gay street, and will be under command OF General
| George FL. Steuart. The City Guard Battalion do
not parade until the 18th Of June.

SwINDLED.-0n Saturday morning a man from
Pennsylvania, recently arrived in the city, was
swinded out of SIC by two rogues who played the
"change" game on him. One rogue engaged him
in conversation at the Northern Central Railway
Depot and proposed walk. This being acceded
to, they proceeded to Lexington street, and when
near st. Paul street. the strangers companion was
familiarly accosted by another decent looking man
with one hundred dollar note in his hand, saying
that he was about paying bill in a certain office
close by, but the party could not change his honey
and asked the loan of about twenty dollars until
he could go to the bank and get the note broken.
! The strangers friend had money just then, bu,
: the stranger had sixteen dollars which he would
loan for few minutes. Both rogues then entered
the house where the money was to be paid, leaving
