Bold Pamps.-Though our town is
frequently visited by numbers Of that class of
professional beggars styled tramps, it is rare
that any depredaiions are traced to them. An
exception occurred, however, on Sunday night
last. a party Of these rowing gentry, who
"took iu'' Rockville in their seach after cold
''vilels" and old clothes probably feeling the
benign influence of the quiet Sabbath evening,
or perhaps the benumbing sensation of the
cold weather, broke into The new school house
and kiudled a fire in the stove. Nothing else
was disturbed
The Baltimore Sun.-While inviting
attention to the prospectus of this widely cir.
culated journal, published in another column,
it is hardly necessary for US 10 speak at length
upon the merits of paper of so vast repu'
tation as the San. Its resources Of information
are probably exceeded by no other paper
South of New York, having its correspondent,
stationed at all important points in the Union

interest will be found in its well edited columns
