The Cape May Fire.

A dispatch from Cape May, Dec. IS,
says: A true bill has been found by
the grand jury of this county against
Samuel R. Ludlam, who is charged
with setting fire to his hotel, the Ocean
House, and with thus causing the mem
orable contlagration Of Nov. 8. The
grounds upon which the indictment
was made are that on the morning of
the fire Ludlam fails to account for one
half hour of his time, that his hands
were noticed to be sooty, and that bur-
ming oil was smelt by persons around
the Ocean House at the breaking out of
the fire. The trial will take place at
the March term of the Cape May Court.

The Boys That are Marching.

The Tramp Law recently enacted in
New Hampshire, is being vigorously en-
forced, with results most salutary and
satisfactory. Soon as vagrant enters
the Granite State he is forcibly invite
to 60 to work or leave the Common
wealth, and failing to do either forth
with, he is arrested and severely pun
ished. In the execution of the law
there is really no hardship, yet it abso-
lutely prevents persons from roaming
around the country on begging or
thieving tours.
