A Hard Party.

\ party of tramps, consisting Of two
men, two women and two boys, came to
Elkton, ON Saturday last, and in the tenn
porary absence of the Sheriff and his deputy,
took possession of his Office when that officer
returned and proceeded to clear them out,
which he accomplished after some difficulty,
during which the female part of the gang de-
veloped an intimate know &c of the choicest
kind of Billingsgats, and used it with 4
proficiency that would have astenished the
voriest shrew that ever dissraced fish
market. The party loitersd around the
street near the Jail for some time, during
which they continued to abuse the Sheriff,
and finally re-entered the Office, upon which
that officer sent for Justice Foard, who COM
mtted them to Jail till Monday, when they
had Il hearing, at which it came out that
they were old Jail birds, formerly OF Balti-
moro, but more recently from New Castle
county Jail. The Justice, thinking the
evidence rot sufficient to warrant him i'll
sending them to the House of Correction;
and believing that the interest of the county
would be best served by dom. so, dis
charged them, they promising to leave the
State Immediately.
