A Sad Bereayement.-No sadder It'd
ings .conld have reached us than when we were
informed last Wednesday evening ofthe death
of Miss ANNIE KILGouR oldest child of Col
William Kilgour, formerly of this county, but
now of Alexandria, Virginia. We recollect
her bat a few years ago little child of gay,
cheerful and lively disposition; when we next
saw her she had unfolded into the rich bloom
and beauty Of young lady surrounded by all
the charms graces and virtues which ndorn
the female character and render it the lovelest
of creations handiwork. Providence, as II
in recompense for that brief period which had
been allotted to her existence, seems to have
blessed her mind with that rare fertility, her
feelings and temper with that lively and
elastic disposition that in this short space she
might not only enjoy much happiness herself,
but spread il among the many friends who
clustered around her attractions. During the
summer months Of the past Two years she has
been frequent visitor in our county, and the
many friends who sought her delightful com
partnership and enjoyed its CHARMING influence
will appreciate the void created by her death in
that social circle, where we may truthfully say,
she reigned lis brigh test and fairest ornament.
In her home, she was all that parents hearts
could hope or wish for, aud by her datifu
aad willing scquescence in their wishes, and
her constant and undertaking desire to minister
to their comfort and happiness, she made herself
the darling Of their affections So sad priva-
tion cannot but be productive Of the deepest
grief. Friends, relatives and parents will
mourn with no ordinary sorrow over her early
death
We know how difficult II is for the human
heart 10 bow with meek and patient resigna-
ton beneath the strokes Of that mysterious
rod, which mingles love with punishment, and
chastens and ruriies in lis chastisement. We
know how irHpossible il is for the human hand
10 draw the melody of gladness from those
human chords which murmnringly wall be-
meath the cruel touch Of death .aiflictiou.-
Nonght but an implicit faith 10 these Divine
promises which point to meeting Of friends
beyond that separation of the gloomy grave
can soo,hs With consolation hearts so sadly
and sorely gyieved.
The funeral will take place at ST. Mar9s
church, in this place, a, 10 o'clock to-day
In the Wrong Pew-While the congre-
cation was gathering to witness the reopening
services OF the Baptist house Of worship in
this town, on Sunday morning last the door
way was darlened by cloud, aud two dusky
spirits-a lady and gentleman of African
lneage--entered the church and seated them-
selves 10 pew already occupied By several
white persons No doubt all this would have
been quite proper in some places, but the
white people of Rockville most respectfully
disapprove it, and would beg to be excused
from constituting component part Of such m
homogeneous mixture No sooner had the dar-
kies seated themselves than the other occupants
OF The pew very properly vacated it, and before
the cclored ady's Raery had subsidized from
the agitation occasioned by that series Of pc
Guitar hops and jumps made by gay young
miss in entering pew, the pair were sP
preached by those in authority and politely
informed that they were perhaps ia the right
church, but certainly in the wrong pew, and
that, TO make themselves agreeable, they must
adjourn TO the gallery which was erected for
their especial accommodation With this they
were not pleased, bat were wroth and would
not he comfored, and straightway they rose
mp and departed nor does any man know or
care whittier they went; and no man desires
10 see such another exhibition of their bold
faced impudence.
A Decision.-We publish the following
decision Of the Court Of Appeals Of this State
to serve as guide for those who may have
transaction of a similar character If such
decisions have no Interest at present reading,
they serve as basis upon which 10 mould
opinions in he future:
Judge Miller delivered the opiuion il the
case of Juan Boyle VS.. The Peabody Heights
Co, OF Baltimore. The appellee, corpora
ton, being the lessee for term Of ninety
nine years, renewable forever, of certain
real estate situated in Baltimore county sub
leased several parcels of the same to Adam J
Gosman, which were, in turn, assigned and
conveyed 10 Juan Boyle who filed a bill
against the appellee 10 compel it to execute a
new suitcase of the premises 10 him. The
main ground upon which this reliefis asked is
that a covenant contained in the original sub
lease 10 Gosman stipulates aud provides for
the execution of such new lease to his assignee
The company resists the csxs@n on the grouEd
that the period of the original lease has not
expired, and admits its obligation to renew
when the lease does expire. The decree ofthe
court below, which dismissed the bill with
COSTS was affirmed"
