Of the oldest engineers in active service
in this country For SO years has he sat
at his throttle, in fair weather and fo1l,
always at his post, having been entirely
freed from sickness all the time. 1t is
said of him, that in all this time the cost
to the company for repairs to his engine
or train, have been of very trifiing
amount. He drove the first train that
passed over the new cut of between New
CASTLE and Wilmington. Uncle Joe
Bartlett Ia worthy man at the throttle
and is liked by all. Long may he pre-

Editor Gazette: There seems TO be
(and justly. too, from the experience OF the
writer) a general complaint from the visit
ors to the Wilmington Fair OF the extremely
poor quality OF NIL the commodities, such
AZ CONNECTIONS, cigars, &C., sold by the stand
keepers. The confessions certainly had
been held over from last year, and the
cigars were wonderful TO draw; they drew
volume of ''swear talk" from almost
every purchaser. But nothing better than
stale CONNECTIONS and Ninth district, Pa,
cigars could be expected, when the prices
paid for the privilege of selling are taken
into consideration, there not being reis.
Bile city manufacturer OF either willing to
take the risk and sell good stock.
That this city can and will support fair
has besn demonstrated beyond DOUBT.
But why locate Il IN one OF the most un-
favorable places within reach OF our ciu-
z4ns. When the weather Ia dry clayey
dust spreads like mud shroud over ex.
hiblts and spectators alike, and when It
rains both the present grounds and the
| road, leading TO them are converted into
mass OF mud
Where Ia there a better location an

Schuetzsn Park, with the two adjoining
lots -one on tho north toward the pike and

street2 This location IL pre-eminently

water could be obtained; there would be
no unwholesome fens; the air would be

which had In hand the collection OF the

there is any encouragement given to push

Considerable money has been returned to

THE MIssIssIPPI RIor.


teen or Twenty of the Negro
leaders shot aud Hanged.
GRENADA, Miss, Sept. 6.--The negro riot
in Laf1r county Is about over, and the re-
suit, as far as can be CLEANED, Is that 10 or
20 OF the negro leaders have been shot and
hanged. II Is impossible to find out the
exact number, but 1t is believed that even
more were killed.
A reliable and prominent planter arrived
In Grenada to-day from MINUS City, and
he stated that when he left there order had
been virtually restored, and that none but
those proven to be instigAtors and ring
leaders were killed. The planters who need
labor used every influence to prevent indis-
criminate killing and gave protection to all
negroes claiming It, and to those who took
no part In the insurrection.
There IL no doubt that negroes by the
hundreds for the past month have been re-
csiving Winchester rifles aud ammunition
and organizing under the influence OF bad
teachers, The main instigator OF the whole
AFFAIR was negro named Oliver Cromwell,
an ex-convlot, formerly OF jackson. 1t Ia
reported here to night that he has been
arrested and is now In Granwood.
