From Lutherville, N. C.R.R.-Accident

cident on 18th inst. which might have been very
serious in its consequences. She entered a room
over an icehouse used a sort of store-room, and
stepping upon a trap-door which had been opened
the day before and not secured properly, it gave
way and she was precipitated to the bottom of the
ice house, clear fall of sixteen feet. Fortunately
there was some straw and saw dust on the floor
which broke the force of the fall very much. As
it was she was considerably bruised, and her
vous system received shock from which she has
not yet recovered, she still at this time, con-
fined to her bed, though much improved.
On last Saturday night the store off NJ Leisen-
ring Co., at this place, was entered by burglars.
They gained entrance by forcing the sash and
shutter entirely out of a rear door. They 1--WE
the plural supposing that there was more than
one engaged in the enterprise) were evidently
gentlemen of very refined tastes, fond of delicacies
as the only articles missing, besides few pairs
of shoes, and an overcoat belonging to r. S. Leis
enring, n clerk in the store, dOzen-more or
less-boxes sardines, oranges, cigars-ft for
Prince to smoke-candy, &C., &c. They used
candle in making their search, as there were drops
of tallow on the floor and in drawers in all parts
of the store. Their objective point appeared to
be the safe, there was a great deal of tallow
about it. The safe being provided with combi-
nation lock they made no attempt to open it, but
the postofce which is in the store, was ransacksd
but without reward, as all stamps and valuable
letters are put in the safe each night.
There is no doubt but that the robbery
committed by tramps, as several gangs of them
were in the neighborhood during that night. 1t
is to be hoped that our Legislature now in session
will pass a very stringent "Tramp Law" that we
may be rid of this nuisance. The line of all rail-
road is their favorite tramping ground, because
they can occasionally steal a ride hence In Penn
syIvania the conductors of all trains are in
as officers, with power to arrest all tramps who
board their trains and hand them to the
sheriff at the next county seat they may pass after
the arrest If we had such law in Maryland
our Commissioners could appoint an officer, whose
beat might be from Baltimore to Parkton or Free
lands, and no doubt the railroad company would
give such officer in view of the protection to their
property, free pass any and all trains.
The same night Col. John G. Jockeys spring
house was robbed of butter beefsteak, &C., &c.
Hon. J. f. C. Talbot and wife, have taken a
suit of rooms at the National Hotel, Washington,
where they spend each week, returning home on
Saturday evening. The well-known social quail
ties of Mr.. Talbot a sufficient guarantee that
he would be pleased to any of his constituents
who may visit Washington during his stay there
We notice to-day that G. M. Leissnring & Co.
having extra bars and bolts put upon the doors
and windows of their store-room, thus verifying
the truth of the old adage-"After the horse is
stolen the stable is locked" RESIDENT.
