The first sermon I heard there was preached in Rockville a town-site on the Sauk, twelve miles from its confluence with the Mississippi in a store-room of which the roof was not yet shingled. The only table in the town served as a pulpit; the red blankets from one wagon were converted into cushions for the front pews, which consisted of rough boards laid on trussles.
For it was at Camp Misery that Dr. Alden Skinner, father of Town Clerk Francis B. Skinner, contracted a cold that developed into pneumonia and resulted in his death a short time later.

If it is ascertained that the enemy has but a small force north of the Potomac, then push south with the main force, detaching under a competent commander, a sufficient force to look after the raiders, and drive them to their homes.

He supped at the Honourable Alexander Gordon's , now one of our judges, by the title of Lord Rockville; at Mr.

"Two fellows tried to hold me up coming in from Rockville Centre the other evening. Maybe they were the same two that picked on you. Did you get a look at them?" "No," said Aubrey.
The little brigade, numbering only a thousand men when it went into action, had lost two hundred and fifty of its number. During the night the raiders made their escape toward Rockville.
It was then discovered, as a crowning proof of his absurdity, that he had left a will, bequeathing his entire effects to a freckle-faced maid-servant at the Rockville Hotel.
"I've settled up your father's estate, Benjamin," said Job Stanton. "You'll find it all figgered out on this piece of paper. There was that two-acre piece up at Rockville brought seventy-five dollars, the medder fetched a hundred and fifty, the two cows " "How much does it all come to, Uncle Job?" interrupted Ben, who was impatient of details.
