Kennett Advance.
The "reminiscences printed in The Id
nance last week in relation to the shoot
ing of slave master Griffith by his run
away slave, Jack, calls TO mind many In
cidents of the stirring anti-slavery times.
This locality had early become widely
known as place of refuge for the escap-
ing slave and many an exciting adventure
between the slave hunters and those who
were hiding them took place in this and
neighboring communities.
One of the famous hiding places and
underground stations was the John Cox
homestead at Longwood. Frequently as
many as dozen runaways and some
times as many as 90 would be forwarded
by Thomas Garrett of Wilmington to
John Cox's care, who in turn would send
them on toward Phmnixville, where they
would be taken care of by Elijah Penny
packer, and dispatched toward Canada
The operations of the IfugtiVe slave law
made the work of caring for these
refugees decidedly onerous, but the good
people would not falter in tho good work.
On one occasion a runaway slave who
WIS receiving fuuu hul rest Al tile hiEpia
kitchen at the Cox mansion was informed
by the guard who was always on duty ut
such times that his master accompanied
by the sheriff of Cecil county was on his
way out from Kennett. The terrified
slave was hastily transferred to the barn
and the colored man who was employed
on the farm showed him where TO burrow
in the straw 50 as to he completely hid.
While this was being done the nasterand
the sheriff drove up, and as tley sat in
their vehicle debating what course to prr-
sue the oolored farm hlnd decided TO play
them trick; SO pulling his hat over
his eyes, driving mp lis coat collar
and reering cautiously about, he ran like
fugitive from the barn in the direction
of the house. There he goes,n shouted
the master, md IN au inatant the sheriff
was after him. Near the house the
| colored man was ovcrtakeu, and a des-
perate struggle ensued, III which the
master finally joined. But when the man
was finally overpowered it was seen that
he wsa not The runaway, md he was re-
| leased. He threatened, however, to shoot
| the men who had molested him and ap-
| pea1ed to be in such desperate earnest
that the two slave hunters drove rapidly
away, and the slave they were looking foi
was dragged, half dead with fright, from
the straw NOV and removed to place Of
greater security.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.--The following
is an extract from letter written in 1878
by tho Rev. Mr.. Taylor, father of the two
Tennessee Taylors, to his wife, who was
spending the summer among the noun
tains of North Carolina. II is here given
as sample of the huency which is said
to have been handed down to Mr.. Taylor's
sons. He refers to the magnificent scenery
around her, "where nature in poetic
mood has pierced the birth place and
sanctuary of the clouds and pillared the
heavens with towering mountains along
whose serrated submits the summer light
nIngs dance on tip-toe TO the music OF
reyerberating thunders, while the storm
king has hurled against their buttressed
angles and rock-ribbed sides the tempestf
and hurricanes of the centuries in inter
mitting spasms--but in vain. Anchored
fast in the omnipotence of God, these
grand old mountains still rear their ven
cradle heads, as the sentinels of the ages
gliding with auroral splendors each dawn
ing day, and tinting with golden glorief
each sunset hour. Not less are they tht
watch towers Of Liberty ard frsedom's
Businesses; for whatever betide the low
lands and the plains where wealth en-
slaves and luxury corrupts, the eagle'
build their nests and rear their younl
ones in the clefts of the mountains ant
there unfottered freedom will ever dwell.

W. st Chest Local NtWss
Thursday al noon John Bailey died at
his residence, near Unionville, Chester
county, Pa, aged ~ years. He had been
confined TO his room for about IL months
previous to his demise. Deceased was
one Of two brothers who suffered at the
hands of band of robbers several years
ago and for which Gopher Bill, ,"'hand-
some" Charley Blake and one or two
other noted criminals were arrested. The
robbery was known as the Bailey bond
robbery. Joseph Bailey, who died not
long ago, was the other brother. They
lived upright, industrious lives, and were
very much respected in the neighborhood
in which they resided, although they were
very retired in their dispositions, min.
Cling very little with the outside world.
On tho night of the robbery referred to
John was sleeping in room directly over
that in which his brother, Joseph, SLEPT
and in which the robbery took place, but
lie did not hear anything going on below
A gentleman who knew the disposition Of
the latter of the two, says that had he
heard the robbers the death Of either h'
or the intruders would have resulted
The deceased leaves q large fortune.

bLluitOr" sun.
number of southern and western
cities are making the experiment of brick
pavements for the carriage ways OF the
streets. II is claimed that it has been
used successfully in Charleston, w. Va,
SteubenYille, Ohio, Decatur, jacksonville
and other towns in Illinois. Bloomington,
Ill.,, claims TO have first made the expert
ment, one of its principal streets being
paved with bricks Is years ago. The
bottom of the street beiug excayated
and rolled, the proper layer of
SAND was laid; good common,
but well-burned brick was then
used as pavement, laid edgewsys,
with interstices at proper intervals to pre-
vent slipping aud layer of sand placed
over all. The same sort of an experiment
was tried in Baltimore more thsn20 years
ago by MIR. Ross Winans, who then lived
atkthe southeast corner of Hcllins and
Parkin streets. He paved that portion of
Parkin street in front of his house, ,as we'll
MS Boyd street, which is an alley adjoin-
ing his house on the rear, with bricks.
The bricks were made about y inches
square and about s inches long. They
were set up endwise, making an even,
smooth and almost noiseless pavement.
Very few vehicles pass along Parkin street
save light buggies, carriages, an occa.
sional furniture wagon or an ice
cart. The travel on these bricks never
being heavy, the bricks have never been
subjected to a severe strain, but even this
light travel has 30 worn them, especially
in Boyd street, where heavy garbage
cart passes over them, that ii is evident
brick payements would have been
failure on streets where there is heavy
traffic, or even continuous light traffic
The street at that place is almost q dead
level. The bricks would never have
suited where there was grade, as horst
could not have found footing on them
The Hollins street side, where this is con
siderable grade from Fremont street, wal
not paved with bricks, but with cobbl'
stones.

The DeCIiiPe iu shipping Attributed
10 the Railroads.

The captains of tow-boats say that they
never experienced duller times than dur
ing the present year. Tue Christiana is
bare of shsppng and arrivals of cargoes
are scarce. The cause for the decline is
attributed TO the railroads, which BOW
carry most of the freight formerly
brought here by the coasting vessels.
Whereas, two or three years ago the most
of the coal used by the Charles Warner
Company, George w. Bush & Sons, ihe
Jessup & Moore Paper Company, and
other large concerns, which amounted to
thousands and tens of thousands tons of
coal annually, formerly received ali by
boat, not cargo arrives by that means
now unless circumstances compel.
A similar condition of Aifairs prevails
in the lumber trade. Formerly the har-
bor was seldom bare of one or more ves-
sells laden with lumber, while now the
arrival of lumber-laden schooner is as
scarce as it was formerly frequent.
About the only cargoes arriving which
must necessarily be shipped by water, are
few loads of sand and the annual
arrival, at this season of the year, OF
several hundred large and small schooners
from lower Virginia, which bring from
900 to 10000 cords of poplar wood
for the pulp works, there to be used in
the manufacture of pulp for use in max
ing paper.

many ladies'. The vicinity of the track was
crowded with vehicles, creating the i'm
preston that it was gala day. The
races were generally we'll contested, but a
strong westerly wind Interfered some
what with fast time and the comfort OF
spectators. An interesting new feature
were the two running races. one of them
between two little Chincoteague ponies,
which excited considerable amusement
The rnces began at 1.30 o'clock and
were for the best 2 out of heats. The
judges were Silas Wright of Parkersburg,

COTTON PICKING MA0HLHERY.
Two Interesting Machines for Cotton
Picking NOw Being Made by "a Will
minRLOu Firm.

Picking NONs lseinR Made by IA Will
minRtOn Firm
Walker q Elliott, the machinists at
Second and Lombard streets, are just
completing cotton picking machine
which ia expected to revolutionize cotton
picking in the south. In the old slavery
days, the cotton growers could compel
their slaves to work, but since the latter
have gained their freedom, they act no
longer under compulsion, and work when
and as long as they please, leaving the
grower in many instances completely at
their mercy. Iu fact, this state of things
had become so unbeaIable in some states
in the south that many have abandoned
cotton growing. The machine now hnild-
ing in this city is owned and patented by
Fennerty Il Baldwin of Washington,
AMI will be shipped to that point
on Saturday and thence 10 North Caro-
lima, where it will be tested. Cotton, as
is we'll known, grows on stalks three or
four feet high, which are planted i'll rows
like corn. His new machine rests on
two wheels and is drawn by two horses,
which walk between the rows of cotton
stalks. The machinery consists of re-
volving cylinder to which are fixed
luU PICKER Ddfb. 1H6 lhtleT are Ioh Dtih
several feet long, the half of which is
firmly fixed, while another section is fas-
tened with pin and hangs loosely. This
loose bar which hangs vertically toward
the ground has long teeth. As this
cylinder revolves, the teeth gather the
cotton and hold it firmly until
in their revolutions they strike brush
made of strong but flexible pieces of
leather, which brush the cotton into q
receptacle capable of containing about
one bale of cotton. II is expected that
this machine will gather about
one-third of the cotton on the
first gathering, and after one or more sub
sequent trials, the cotton remaining on
the stalks will be gathered by fiDishers
who will follow the machine. Messrs.
Walker d Elliott only were furnished
with roughly sketch of the machine and
perfected and designed the machine them
selves. The same firm is also building cotton
seed mills and crushers for the Planters
| Cotton Seed Company of Washington, OF
| which N. T. Fitch of this city, is man.
ager and general agent. This is also d
recent invention and by its use the cotton
growers can separate their own seed from
| the burrs. Heretofore, they have sold
| their cotton seed to the oil manufacturers,
who extracted the seed aud either made oil
| of 1t or resold it to the cotton growers fol-
fertilizers. This new machine, small
and expensive concern, brushes the Burrs
| which contain the seeds, and drops the
seed through one channel and the empty
burrs through another. II ia already sue.
cessfully introduced in the south.
