frequently the ground on which affronts
were given and quickly resented with
fist or gun. was once an innocent wit
ness of row which occurred at Fair
field during holiday between certain
Darbyites of the county and several of
our vicious city boys. 1t was day
when the grooms, or riders, were sweat
ing their horses about the track. All
the raging and bob-tail of town and
country were there. Some of these 1
knew personally; others / knew only
from report. The lads of that day, like
the lads of this, know better than their
elders the worst characters of the town.
The ugly and grotesque. 1t would seem,
are of higher charm in their eyes than
the good, the beautiful and the true.
In all that motley gathering at Fair
field no one entitled to my respect was
seen. The whites were of the yeoman
class, and stout. valorous yeomen some
of them were, as will presently appear.
The negroes formed the greater mass.
Their bearing towards the poor whites
was in keeping with the old Difference
| invariably shown by the slaves to the
citizen. The social distance between the
! Czar of Russia and his peasantry could
not be greater than that which was OBJ
served by parties OF the two races.
One of the much favored games of the
negroes was ,cluck-a-lucll. A negro here

AS conscientious and Woodworking

From well-tested experience it is the
duty Of every member of the medical

medical profession be expected or re-

to nay license tax when time and this
service is equivalent to money and the
