The Rockville Sentinel Of yesterday has the fol-
lowing items:
"a. Late Robbery in Berry's Distriet.-we have
heretofore published The fact that Mr.. LlOy d
Green, of Spencerville, in this county, was
robbed on the night Of the 4th ultimo, or trunk
containing nearly five hundre dollars ard a lot
OF valuable papers. We have since learned that
suspicion rested on a cOlored man who had beer
in hts employ and who had left suddenly, named
Alexander alias Allen johnson. Mr.. Green em-
ployed An agent to follow johnson up for the
purpose Of arrestng him. On Friday morning
last the agent espied this man in one Of the
markets OF Baltimore and asked him to stop, but
instead of hating the negro began to run. A
cry Of "stop thief" was given, and q policeman
joining in the chase succeeded in arrestina him.
johnson had hearing on Wednesday last
before Justice Wheeler, or Baltimore, and was
committed to jail to await the action of our
county authorities.

will put stop to their evil practices.
