The Delaware Steam Fire Engine
Company sold their fine black mares
this morning to Thomas Ford, price
not stated.
The mares were purchased on Sep
tember 9th, 1872, and were the first
horses in the Department.. The first
run that they ever made was on Sep
tember 11th five days after they were
purchased by a committee appointed
for that purpose to fire at Bowers,
Dure & Co. The next run they made
was on September 14th to fire at the
Delaware House stables. This was
the first run after they had been ac-
cepted by the company. Since that
time they have been in continuous SER
vice, with but few exceptions. They
were very fine animals, and were con-
sidered at one time the best in the
Department. The company were
obliged to sell them, as they had no
place to keep them during the erection
of their new house. AS soon as the
company move into their new quarters
they will purchase another pair.

Good Words FOR the 4Iassees.


Mr.. EDITOR Tho gentlem Gu COM
posing the Board of Trustees of the
Poor Of this county have shown them
selves TO be brave men. Now let ten
thousand taxpayers In New Castle
county give three cheers for our Trus-
tees. They have acted wisely and de-
serve the thanks of those who are OPP
posed to increasing the taxes. The
democracy can boast of having Board
of Trustees composed Of gentleman of
intelligence and who act for the utter
est of the taxpayers. Fifteen hundred
signatures to . petition do not 90 for
much against ten thousand voters in
the county. We have every confidence
in our Trustees. They are NOT to be
bull-dozed by few speculators There
was no argument presented before
them in favor of removing the Aims
house by these gentlemen, who are in
terested in q few lots. The poor can
be attended to by very many who con-
stantly visit them and dispense charity
to the afflicted and suffering. II the
buildings were removed away in the
county, the poor and suffering would
not have these good Samaritansto visit
them and comfort them vita their
means. There is not, a city in this
country but has similar institutions in
its midst. Why should ours bs an ex-
ceptionp We say to our Trustees,
"well done good and faithful servants"

SECOND EDITION
The Ainshouse.


Having had many invitations from
the Trustees and Superintendent of
the Almshouse to take dinner with
them at their monthly meetings, yes.
terday availed myself of that priyi-
lege. And as it happened, it was
muster day of the removal party, who
came there in force with their peti.
tions and their orators to show the
Trustees how wise and business-like it
would be to move said house some
where in the country, or in other
words to try the old project over again,
to buy another farm and lose some
$lO, 200. listened very attentively
to all they had to say, and to sum it
all up they only showed that those
persons who were agitating said re-
moval had moneyed interest in the
thing, and had circulated petitions and
got great many persons to sign them
that they might be benefited by it.
The Trustees heard them very atten-
lively, after asking them questions
that they could not answer, and when
the speakers had got through with all
their arguments and had emptied
themselves, one of the Trustees moved
to adjourn until after dinner, which
agreed to without dissenting voice.
Now comes the second part of the per-
formance, which was a very interest
ing one indeed, and as good luck
would have it, we did not have to
wait long before we were invited out
into the dining-room to partake of a
sumptuous dinner, which had been
prepared by Mrs. Barlow, and the
ladies' she had to assist her in this
good work, for such a meal as this
could not be gotten up by every head
of family. And. what 1 liked was
everything was on the table that an
occasion like this called for. and when
all were seated around the table and
quiet was restored for moment, then
. blessing was asked, after which all
began to help and be helped of what
had been SO bountifully provided for us,
and we spent very pleasant half hour
in the satisfying of our 'appetites,
which had been somewhat sharpened.
After dinner little time was spent
in smoking and talking, until the bus
mess hour arrived again, and the
President called the Board to order, to
finish up the business they had come
together for, which was principally the
building of a new insane department,
and to dispose of the petitions for re-
moval. And as had said in a COM
munication in the GAZETTE that l be-
lieved the Trustees of this institution
were men that were capable of taking
care of these poor unfortunate ones
that they have under their care, l am
now more fully convinced that such is
the fact, for in the conversation that
have heard and with my own talk with
!! them, see that they think
! their business is to- take Of
these dependent ones that have found
/ a home in the Almshouse, and having
had some experience in buying and sell
ling. farms and losing money that they,
the present Board will not remove,
until there is better reasons for 1t than
those been given them at this time.
