A Den Of Theresa Singular Discovery
short time ago Lawrence Forwood and Alexan-
der Bond, while searching for lost hound in the
woods in the neighborhood of Guyton's Mill, on
the Little Gunpowder, forced their way up
ravine through dense thicket OF laurel, when
to their surprise they came upon small cleared
space which had evidently been occupied as a
camp. ham boiler was lying on the ground
near where fire had been built, and scattered
about were numerous articles of mems clothing.
Upon looking around they discovered the entrance
to a cave, partially concealed by pile of brush.
Not knowing what might be there concealed they
left in hurry. The next day the parties above
named, reinforced by Major Henry H. Lee and Jas
Munnikhuysen, all armed, returned to the spot
and entered the cave, but found no one therein
1t had evidently been used by thieves az hiding
place for plumber. All around inside the cave
were lying in the utmost confusion clothing OF
every description-coats, pants and vests, some
of them half finished, as if taken from a tailor
shop; stockings, underclothiug, &C., some new
and some marked with the owners names. Some
ladies' stockings were marked V. R. H. There
was also found lot of new brooms. The place
had apparently been deserted for several months
the thieves having probably been. frightened
away, or perhaps arrested during some of their
pilfering excursions. Nothing has yet been found
out as to the owners of the goods the occupants
of the cave.
Railroad The Delaware State Journal says
that the Baltimore Central Railroad Company is
becoming alarmed at the Roadway being made
by the Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York
Railroad, work upon which is now in progress
near Towsontowu, and have offered to build the
whole road if certain sum of money is sub
scrbed by the people, The disposition, however
seems to be in favor Of an independent route.
The act authorizing the County Commissioner
of Hartford to subscribe $500 900 to the enterprise
has passed the House of Delegates, but hangs fire
in the Senate 1t is stated that arrangements
have been made with the Northern Central road
to operate the new road as fast as completed.
