fore six o'clock, P NJ. The jury remained
out about one hour, when they brought in
verdict of murder in the first degree.
The prisoner received tine announcement
of the verdict which will consign him to a
feion's death, with the utmost indifference
and stolidity Not muscle quivered, nor
was there the slightest motion of an eyelid to
show that he realized, in the slightest degree,
the dreadful Importance of his position. He
was taken back to Jail, where he will be kept
securely guarded until he is sentenced and
the Governor appoints the day for his exc

BURNED TO DEATH.-On Thursday of last
week Mrs. O'Neil, wife of John O'Neil, one
of the supervisors on the Philadelphia. Will
mington and Baltimore Railroad, met with
an accident which resulted in her death. One
of the noon trains set fire to Il sedgc field, and
Mrs O'Neil endeavored to put out the fire
In doing so, her clothing caught fire, and
she ran towards her home, near Darlington
Station, in the greatest fright, her clothing
in light blaze. BY the time she reached it
her clothes were nearly entirely consumed
and her agonizing screams could be heard for
a long distance DR.. ]. Fl. Cochran, ofHavre
de Grace, was sent for, and although every
thing possible was done to afford her relief,
she died in about i've hours, in the greatest
suffering.

OUT OF HIS PLACE.-On Tuesday night,
about s or 8 o'clock, negro named William
Dorsey, was discovered on the roof of the
store house Of Mr.. j. l.. Barnes, at Church
vile. On being questioned in regard TO his
business there, he said he had been sent there.
On being ordered to came down, he did so
quite rapidly, and ran off, leaving his shoes
behind. An examination of the sleeping
sey or some one else had been there, no doubt
for the purpose Of robbery, as the pockets OF
a pair of pantaloons had been searched and
truncd wrong side out. Subsequently Dor
was arrested and sent tn Jail, on the charge
Of burglary

CONVICTION OF GRIFFIN.-The details of
the shocking murder of Miss Susan Taylor
near Aberdeen, on the morning of the 18th
of October last, are no doubt fresh in the
memory of our readers. The negro Joshua
Griffin, who was arrested at the time on the
charge of having committed the crime, was
tried last week in the Circuit Court for this
county, and convicted of murder in the first
degree He will be sentenced, we are inform
ed, on the last day of the present term of
court. 1t seldom that trial and conviction
follow so speedily after the preparation of
such crime, but there was no reason for de-
lay, and the wretched man will, unless par
doned by the Governor, suffer the extreme
penalty of the law. Griffin seems totally I'M
moved or unconscious of the prospect before
him. He appears to be most ignorant and
chased negro, not much above the level of
the brute creation. In another column we
publish full report of the trial

ARREST OF BURGLARs.-George Banks
George Emerson, Louis Wells and William
Sorrell, colored, were arrested in Baltimore
city, on Monday, charged with burglariously
entering and robbing the store of Whitelock
Il Brother, at Avondale. The robbery took
place on the night of the 9th instant, the
rogues carrying of'their plumber in two wag.
ons, one of which belonged to Mr. John Gil
bert and the other to Mr.. Whitclock. A
portion of the stolen goods has been recoy-
cred by the Baltimore police. Last week
John or Samuel Keys, also colored, another
of the parties supposed to have been con-
cerned in the robbery, was arrested in Balti.
more county, and lodged in Towsontown
jail AT the same time Mr. Gilbert's wagon
and some of the stolen goods was recovered.
The parties arrested in Baltimore have been
brought to Bel Air for trial. Keys will also
be brought here as soon as an order is issued
by the Court to that effect

-.Rev F. X. Jaquemet, Roman Catholic
priest of Baltimore city, on Wednesday even
ing last, at meeting in DR.. Leyburn's Pres
byterian Church on West Fayette street, arose
and publicly renowned his faith, and signified
his intention of joining the Presbyterian
Church. The event has caused a ripple in
religious circles, and has elected long bet
ter from Archbishop Bayley, in which he
says that MIR. Jaquemet was "a poor priest
with a somewhat injured reputation.
The New York Financial Chronicle pre-
diets steady improvement in the business
affairs of the country. 1t says
There is ground for the expectation that
before long signs of activity will spring up,
and we may regard the present movement OF
currency to the West and South as n harbin-
ger of better things to come"
The Massachusetts Labor Council saw
that they have proof of the hiring of $50 men

Church. The monument will be unveiled
on Thursday next, December 3d. at II

The memory of the exalted character and
Christian virtues that adorned the life of
Mr.. Finney will be held in affectionate re-
membrance, not only by the congregation to
whom he ministered for so many years, but
also to very many who do not belong to his
communion. The occasion referred to is one
in which all can join in doing honor TO the
memory ola good man.

A Historic PRECEDENT,--It is a historic
precedent that no candidate has ever been
chosen to the Presidency whose politics did
not correspond with those OF the majority of
the House of Representatives. The Demo-
Gratis will have a majority in the next House,
and in accordance with the precedents of the
last half century, will therefore elect a
President in 1876. There are exceptions to
all general rules, however, and the party
must rely for success upon the soundness and
wisdom of its policy rather than upon histor-
icparallels.

The New York merchants are greatly
frightened about the completion of the Balli-
more and Ohio railroad to Chicago fearing
that hereafter Baltimore will have more of
the western grain than New York The
New York Sun endeavors to re-assure them,
by pointing to the fact that the want of cap
ital in Baltimore to make advances on con-
signments of grain will prevent western ship
pers from sending any more there than the
merchants can buy, and expects the Balti-
more and Ohio company ultimately to make
New York its seaboard terminus.

THANKsGIvING.-I has been the custom
for few years past, for the friends of the
Rev. E. D. Finney, pastor of the Presbyteri

ly by the members of his congregation so,
as we go to press, every body seems to he on
their way to the parsonage. Doubtless there
will be good time The bright lights and
cheerful welcome of the happy pastor and
his wife tempt us TO go and join the COM
pany.
