SUPPOSED ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY On Saturday
evening last respectfully dressed female called
at the house Of gentleman residing near Mt.
Washington, on the N. g. Railway and asked
to be allowed 10 spend the night, stating that she
was stranger and without money. Her man
ner exciting suspicion her request was refused,
when she left, going in the direction OF a train
bound for the city, which was in sight young
girl employed in the family above mentioned,
took passage also in this train and observed two
men offer the strange woman seat and the three
engaged in conversation as if they were well &C.
quainted. During tue forenoon Of the following
Monday the strange woman called again at the
same house and was met at the door by the SER
want girl who had seen her on the cars, and be-
ing Immediately recognized she was ordered TO
leave. In the afternoon some officers from Balti-
more were in the neighborhood in search Of a
woman answering the description of the stranger,
whom they wished to arrest. There can be little
doubt that this woman was a confederate Of the
men seen with her on the cars aud that her OBJ
ject was robbery, and it would be prudent for all
persons residing in the county to refuse applica-
tons for lodging from strangers.

The RAILRoAD.-A correspondent of the Bel
Air Egis of 18th instant says:
"Laborers are again at work on the railroad,
the nearest point being near CIomwells Bridge.
The surveyors are also at work stalking off the
last survey, which ended just below Guyton's
Mill, and there seems to be no doubt that they
will take this route, as the persons along the
route will freely give the right of way. The
only difficulty they have met with, is in pass
ing Messrs. Parlett and Kones houses. The
line running very close to them, of course they
make objections; but they offer the right ofway
through their woods, about 400 yards in front
of their houses / hope soon to hear of them
about your town."
After leaving the Great Gunpowder at Crom-
wells Bridge, the line surveyed passes to the
north of Greenwood, intersecting Hoods survey
at point where it crosses the road leading
from the Baltimore and Hartford turnpike to
Watkins Tavern. From thence Hoods route
is to be followed, we understand, crossing the
Little Gunpowder at Guyton's Mill, Winters
Run, near Archer Towards Mill, and thence
a short distance northwest OF Bel-Alr.
We learn that the agent of the road proposes
to call meeting of those in the neighborhood,
interested in the construction of the road, to be
held at Bel Air, at an early day, when we hope
every encouragement will be given to forward
the work.

| NARROW ESCAPE FROM DRowNING.-Early on
Friday morning of last week Mr.. VIM. G. Payne
of Long Green Valley, made a narrow escape
from drowning in Long Green Run, a stream
which flows near his farm. He was driving in
a one horse top buggy and coming to the small
culvert or bridge which crosses the stream on
the public road a short distance above Kennels
mill, discovered that the water had risen very
high from the heavy rains of the night before
and was rushing in torrents over the bridge,
which was submerged to the depth of about
three feet. Being anxious to proceed he deter
mined to cross and accordingly made the at
tempt. The horse, skittish young ANIMAL
had gotten on the bridge when a cake of float
ing ice came in contact with his body, fright
ening him and causing him to jump from til 9
bridge, carrying the buggy with him. Mr..
Payne succeeding in freeing himself from the
vehicle and his first thought was to save his
horse which he did at great risk to his own life
the water being very deep and the current
Swiftly cutting him loose from the buggy,
when both himself and horse managed to reach
tie bank safely. The buggy was badly wreck
ed.
Mr.. Joseph Parks of Lime Kiln Bottom, also
made narrow escape on Thursday evening"
He attempted to cross Crom Wells bridge, and
the Gunpowder being very much swollen by
the melting snow, the water had overlooked the
banks and was running around the bridge. He
had not proceeded far when he discovered that
great holes had been washed in the road bed
and it was with difficulty that he reached the
bridge safely.

Ricard s, Leftwich & Co.'S Leaf Tobacco Circular.
This market has been very quiet for all des-
criptions of tobacco since we sent you our last
circular, and referring to remarks therein, but
little has transpired calling for special comment.
Kentucky and Virginia have been dealt in to
moderate extent, the transaction being mainly
for parcels in transit by original samples-with
little if any profit to sellers.
The export demand has been limited for OBJ
vious reasons and the trade seems to be await
ing developments of the next thirty days. In
the meantime the interior markets lose no ami
nation, being kept fully alive by the home
trade, stemming and speculative demand.
Maryland and Ohio are by no means in &C
tive request, and for the former decidedly
lower range of prices has been established.
