Special correspondence Of Gazette and journal
BIIDGEyILLE, Sept. l9.-Forest fires
have been raging in Nanticoke hundred,
east of here, for the last few days. As
it has not rained here of any consequence
during the last two months the wood
and underbush were as dry as finder
and in many cases burned very furious.
Sunday afternoon the flames reached
the large tract of woodland belonging
to Henry Z. Cannon. The latter secured
large number of men, who with rakcs,
skOvels, &c, went to the fire and after
hard work prevented its further spread,
although it had burned over large
area, doing much damage to young
growth timber
The fire has been burning since last
Thursday, but with the aid of rain,
which fell Monday morning, and the
hard work Of the people Of that vicinity,
it is believed that the lire is about sub
dued. The loss is hard to estimate but
will be considerable.
Greenwood, Bridgeville and Seafcrd,
each hold their fall fights Saturday
night.
No one was very seriously injured
either at Greenwood or Bfidgeville.
Only few people here were knocked
down with brass knuckies and had their
faces badly cut up and bruised during
the frncas. The fight at Seuford was
the worst of the three, and lasted late
into the night A man named Messicll
had his jaw so badly cut that his tongue
could be seen through the cash, and
others were less seriously injured. The
officers of the town, who are few in
number, did the best they could with
the crowd, but they were nearly power
less owing to the great numbers. They
succeeded though in arrestlng two men
who live in Maryland. The two were
given trial Monday morning and sent
TO GEORGETOWN iail.

Tuesday--The Days Racing Events.
EAsToN, Nd, Sept 1S.-The school
children opened the Talbot county fair
to-day. All the schools were closed,
and the teachers and pupils took actual
possession of the fair grounds and the
exhibit buildings, except those given up
to horned cattle and snorting horses.
The lads and lasses kept away from
these, as q rule, but some of the holder
ones went to the dangerous place where
these ANIMALS are kept and made life
sketches for their next drawing work
and got notes for compositions on
animals. There were 1900 pupils on
the grounds, with their teachers and
parents. The officers of the association
say it is good thing to make the first
day of the fair childrcn's day, as every
little tot, as well as every big boy and
girl, becomes really advertising agent
in a simple but effective way, for the
other days of the fair This week the
public schools will close at Ii o'clock
every day in order TO give the pupils
opportunity to go daily to the fair for
studying obiect-lessons.
Politics was not talked on the fair
grounds to-day, The children know
nothing about it and all were devoted to
making the young people happy Sena-
tor Charles II. Gibson was not present
at the opening of the fair, as was ex.
pected.
The judges in the household depart
ment awarded ia first premiums and

who is an expert on canned goods,
jellies, conservcs, &c, and who lives in
