  We present the results of moderate resolution spectroscopy for a globular
cluster in the M81 group dwarf spheroidal galaxy DDO~78. The DDO78 globular
cluster, 4 Milky Way globular clusters, spectroscopic and radial velocity
standards were observed with the Long-slit spectrograph of the 6-m telescope
(SAO RAS, Russia). Lick spectrophotometric indices were determined in the
bandpasses adopted by Burstein et al. (1984). We have derived the mean
metallicity of the globular cluster in DDO78 to be [Fe/H] = -1.6 +- 0.1 dex by
taking the weighted mean of metallicities obtained from the strength of several
absorption features. We have estimated an age for the globular cluster of 9-12
Gyr similar to that found for the Galactic globular cluster NGC362, which
resembles our cluster by chemical abundance and integrated spectrophotometric
properties.
