DEATHS.

DIED, on December 18th, 1877, JOHN
WATERS PERRY, son OF G. h. and Maggie
Perry, aged FIVE years.
DIED, on Jan. 18th inst, near Beallsvile,
in this county, Mrs HELEN E wife of Mr.
John Hillard, aged Al years 6 months, and
days.
The deceased was a native of this county
Amlable in her disposition and gentle in her
manners. She had won the respect and love
OF all who knew her. And as an afeciionate
and kind companion and mother her loss to
the family is deeply felt. Her affiicton was can
Ger in the breast, and her sulierings for twelve
weeks were beyond descriptions bnt having
given her heart TO Jesus, nine weeks prior 10 her
demise, she was enabled to bear il with for,i-
tude and resignation OF mind characteristic of
a Saviour's love ia the heart. Hence she died
in the triumphs of faith. kind husband
and five children are left her loss TO mourn,
but their loss is her eternal gain. Precious
in the sight of the Lord is the death of his
saints. V.D.M.

One Of the most remarkable instances on
record Of paterna devotion and of success in
keeping secret family affection may be found
in the family of citizen who is keeping a
drinking saloon in the western part Of the
city. Twenty seven years ago he kept house
on Western row. About that time a number
of houses in the vicinity were destroyed by
fire in the night, including his residence. His
wife, in delicate condition, suffered much
from fright, and subsequently gave birth to a
monsirosity offspring without any Of the
better senses Of living creature, except that
of sight-wthout toes or fingers deaf and
speechless, without the least spark Of intellect
or instinct. Twenty seven years have passed,
aud the family have kept this creature in the
household, secreied IN room, aud only few
OF the neighhors besides, who are on the most
intimate relations, have known of its exist
ence II eats when food is placed TO It's mouth,
aud is kept in a clearly condition by tho most
constant care. A long beard has grown on
its face. II is about three feet IN length. II
crawls about some, but moves with great diff
hcully. That such creature has lived 50
long is singular The family, INSTEAD Of pla-
cling Il 10 some sylum, has endured its pres
ence in their midst, aud nariured II Ia assid-
uous privacy through all Of these years is a
strange and affecting Incident OF paternal de-

THE NEW SENATOR ELECT The Hon. James
Black Groome, of Cecil county, Ex-Governor OF
Maryland, having received the Democratic
nomination in caucus on Thursday night, was
on yesterday elected TO the United States SEN
ate TO succeed Hon. George r. Dennis whose
term will expire March 4, 1879. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that more than a year will
elapse before Mr. Groome will be called upon
to take his seat
Gov. Groome is very young man to have
filled the highest position in the State and to
be elected 10 the Senate of The United States,
having been born April a, 1888. His father,
Hon. Jno. g. Groome, was one of the ablest
and most popular men in the State, and the
Democratic candidate for Governor in 1858
against Thomas Holiday Hicks. Gov. James
b. Groome was twice elected to the General
Assembly from Cecil county, once in 1871 and
again in 1873. He was presented as n candi-
date for the U. S. Senate during his first term
in 1872, when he was thiriy-three years of
age, and was elected Governor in l874 to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the election Of Gov.
Whyte TO the United States Senate. Gov.
Groome is, therefore, by no means new or
unknown man in the politics of the State.
Gov. Groome is lawyer in good practice in
his native county, and during his service in
the Legislature was chairman of The Judiciary
committee in the House, besides being a mem
Der Of the committee on ways and means and
Of the committee on elections. He was also
member of the constitutional convention in
86T which framed the present State conslitu-
lion, and presidential elector in 1872. He
had tie support in the contest for the Senator
ship Of some of the shrewdest as well as nfu-
entail politicians in the State. -Balto. Sun Of

The negotiations for peace have already com
menced. The Turkish negotators are instruct
ed, il is said, to offer to make Batoum a free
port, and ce9e territory as far AS Kars and Err
zeroum. They may also propose the follow
ing programme for the discussion of Euro
the southern limit of Bulgaria Romania to
be independent and the Dardanelles TO be open
TO men-of-war of all nations. The settlement
OF the Servian and Montenegro boundaries is
TO be deferred for the present Russia has de
\ manded that Adrianople be included 10 Bull
garia, The cesson of Batoum and that the
Dardanelles be open to Russian and Turkish
vessels only
The order Of The Turkish Government fore
ing non-combatants Of Adrianople TO leave
their homes has enaled frightfu mseries
upon the poor refugees. Mr.. Master, Agent of
the English Relief Fund, arrived at Constan-
iinople on Sunday with train full of these
unhappy people. They had been three days
IN open cattle trucks. On Saturday night
fifteen were found dead in the trucks. Suffer-
ings OF all are described as awful. Mothers
are reported in their frenzy to have thrown
away living babies rather than see them die in
their arms Three other trains were hourly ex-
pec,cd to arrive. There are also fifteen thousand
refugees out 10 the snow, several inches deep
and the snow is still falling. The depopulat-
ing Of Adrainople proves TO have been entirely
unnecessary, as il was abandoned without
any battle or attempt to defend il.
The opinion prevails in Constan,iuople that
in consequences OF the threatening aspect OF in
ternal affairs the Porte will be compelled to
purchase peace at any price. Three hundred
thousand refugees are fleeing to Constantine
pie. All the forces that can be spared are
being hurried 10 the city. II has been de-
cided that the Sultan aud the Government
will leave the city as soon as the Russians
reach Tehataldja, twenty-five miles distant.

Tuesday, resulted in his acquittal on the sew
eral counts Of an indictment for drunkenness
while in discharge Of his judicial functions
On demurrer, several counts Of the Indictment
were stricken out by the court, on the ground
that fhe alleged offrnse is a misdemeanor, and
that it must be proved as having been COM
nitted within twelve months, which was not
so alleged On other counts, which alleged
the offense as having been committed within
purview of the law the State was unable to
give proof of it, and the traverser was &C.
quilted. In relation to counts charging
drunkenness while off the bench and not en-
gagged in judicial duties, the court said that
such case was proper ground for impeach.
