A Shooting Scrape.

There was lively time in Africa CT
last Sunday evening and one young
negro hoy, aged about 10 will likely
lose his life. 1t seems that party of
sports were having a Sunday after
noon sceanee at noted place run by
Grafton Roman, which is said TO be
run as coon gambling joint on West
Martin Street beyond the G. V. r. r..
tracks, in what is commonly know n
as Africa. 1t is said that Painter and
another fellow named Jim MARSHALL,
said to be from Alabama, were in a
game and a dispute arose over the
game which involved ten cents and
Marshall drew his gun and fired at
close range striking Painter in the
neck. The ball struck the side OF, the
meek and taking downward course
struck the vertebras paralyzing the
victim. He was taken to the City
Hospital where he is still under treat
ment and the case is simply one of
waiting. The chances are against re.
covery. Painter is frem Charlestown
and has beer working at the stone
quarries about this place.
Marshall skipped and Is still at
large and will probably never be
caught.

For ~ years the people from all parts
Of the country by the thousaads as
semhled annually at this historic old
place, made so from the fact, that IL
was here, that the last great battle OF
Of the war occupied ON Oct. 10, 1854,
and now nearly 46 years after that sad
occurrence, is it not worthy OF pro
toand consideration why these gath
etings continue aud the children Of
those who Participated in that affair,
andthelr children by the the thous-
ands continue to keep it up.
The remnant of the old soldiers who
took an active part Ia those impe rtant
events for home rule and self govern
ment IS fast falling away, and net
more than one.tenth remains, but
whenever justice prevails and patriot
Ism Il honored the cause OF secession
will be honored and justified, and
whenever impartial history and moral
dcceEcy.is recognized and practiced
our name "Rebsn will be forever hon
ored aud generations yet unborn will
be proud to say, that they are the de-
cendants of the parents who endured
and suffered SO much for independence
and white mans government.
1t was my pleasure TO be ameng the
thousands that meet at Fishers Hill.
For miles around the old battle
ground, it was covered with every con-
ceivable kind OF vehicles, whilst the
inner space was perfect mass of NOV
ing humanity, and whilst the loca tion
is not at all inviting the sociability,
hospitality and loyalty Of the people
Of the Shenandoah valley will ever
make ii pleasant to be there.
At noon the whole surface OF the
earth was covered with fac linen and
delicious grub besides some half dozen
beeves, sacks Of sugar and coffee aud
tanks of lemonade in big lunch de-
partment for the few cid Rebs and
their friends. Such signs Of loyalty
is highly commendable among any

variously estimated anywhere from
5000 to 10000. Ny opinion is nearer
the latter, and now last but not by
any means least was eur venerable or
