1t is with hearth felt sorrow that record the
demise of this most cstimable lady. But her
Heavenly Father called her home to his bosom,
and she has bowed to the holy mandate. Mrs.
MARYLAND was loving, devoted wife, and kind
affectionatc mother. She had all the elements
combined in her person that constitute per
feet lady. Every one that knew her loved and
respected her, she had not an enemy in the
world She was a constant member OF the
Methodist Church for over thirty years, and
was practical follower of the Holy Jesus. But
alas she Is gone, and we shall no more see her
kind face, lit up with smiles of goodness, nor
hear her sweet voice again. But it is our great
consolation to believe that although dead to us,
yet that she is living STILL and that her pure dis.

where clothed with q shining robe with crown

SUDDEN DEATHS.


Two OF our most highly respected ciLi-
zens, Mr.. Amos Levin and Mr.. Thomas
Galbreath, were called away suddenly on the
night of the 18th inst. Mr.. Levin was an
elderly man, and was greatly beloved by all
who knew him. About year ago he was
kicked on the head by horse, and was not
expected to live, one day after another. BY
careful treatment and good nursing, howcv-
er, he recovered. His sutlerings though in
tense, were born without a murmur or COM
plant. On the 18th / was shocked to hear
that he was dead. trust and believe that
to-day he is where sickness, sorrow, pain nor
death, are felt and feared no more
Mr.. Galbreath was young man of fine
abilities and of unsullied character. We
hope his friends and associates will remem-
Der him and follow the example he set, as
we believe he tried to live and did live as
near to the commands of God as he could.
Mr.. Galbreath was buried on Friday
morning last in the Statewide grave yard, and
Mr.. Levin was buried in the evening of the
same day in the grave yard at Broad Creel;

The Independent Movement.

The agitators of the so.called Independent
movement in Baltimore city are still casting
about for candidates who are willing to risk
their political advancement upon the uncer-
tain success of the nondescript party. No
men of any prominence have yet been found
to accept the douhtful honors. Just now
their efforts arc confined mainly to procuring
municipal and legislative candidates, but it
is stated that rs soon rs organizations can be
effected in the counties State ticket will be
nominated. 1t is also stated that canvassers
have been sent TO the counties, from the GEN.
trail organization in Baltimore, to organize
| branch associations, and initiate members
according TO the mystic rites and ceremonies
of the new political order
| From WHAT'S ascertained it seems that the
new secret political body is composed almost
entirely Of disappointed office seekers of all
shades of politics, and of men whose political
belief rests as lightly upon them as their
coats upon their backs. All of them, how
ever, are united upon one point, namely, q
desire to destroy the Democratic party.
hoping that amid the chaos they may
be able to secure places of profit for them
selves. The movement can have no real
strength, but Democrats should nevertheless
be upon their guard, and not suffer their
minds 10 be poisoned by an insidious foe,
whose only object, no matter how plausibly
they talk, is purely personal and selfish.
If they are sincere in their desire for political
reform they need not meet in secret cabal,
like a crowd of guilty conspirators. Let
them boldly designate the abuses they seek
to correct, and proclaim the principles by
which they are to be guided, and their sin
certify and the propricty of their course can
then be properly estimated by the people,
1t is II very simple matter to assert that cor
ruptions exist in official places, and people
are always more ready to believe evil than
good; but we have more faith in the Demo
cratic party of Maryland than to believe they
would willingly tolerate abuses of any
sort on the part of public officers. If the
new secret political order should succeed in
placing ticket in the field, q Republican
ticket will scarcely be nominated, and it will
be very evident then that the Democratic
party will be merely arrayed against an old
enemy in the disguise of independents.

in hauling water from distant branch"
or slough" to keep the inmates from per-
ishing of thirst and filth. The idiot asy-
lum at Lincoln is to be nearly as large an
institution as the insane asylum at Jack
sonville. 1t is to accommodate $50 in
mates, with officers, attendants, &c. Yet
the source of water supply at Lincoln is
even less reliable than at jacksonville.
Wells must be dug from forty to sixty feet
feet deep, but the main reliance is on a
supply of surface water gathered in de-
serted coal shatt!-water, no resident of
Ottawa need be told, as unfit for use as
the seepage water of a Mississippi bottom.
ln the location of two or three of our
state institutions during the last ten years,
the legislature, in view of the deplorable
condition of the water supply a. Jackson
vile, made special and emphatic provision
by law that the commission shall in their
selection be sure to secure an abundant
supply Of water, and have regard to eleva-
ton, sewerage, and so on. But in each
case the location was the result of a "bar-
gam" and the legislative direction infa-
mously disregarded.
Were the honesty of Coy. Beveridge to
be relied upon, there would need to be no
fear that in this last disgracetul instance
the outrage would meet his approval,
which it must before it can go into effect.
But we have seen enough of Gov Beve-
ridge to place no great reliance on mis- in
tegrity in such a case. The conviction is
general that the location at Lincoln is the
result of political bargain in which the
governor himself has vital interest. The
prompt approval of that location by the
governor will indicate whether he is a
party to the corrupt bargain or not.
