BsAUTiFUE.-Ihe May festival par
ticipated IN by the school Of Miss Galloway
on last Friday evening one week ago was
decidedly a success, and reflects great credit
upon the fair instruesress and her excellent
scholars. The programme, as arranged, was
admirably carried ont, each one Of the young
ladies acting their parts with a knowledge
which would have done honor to older and
more experienced heads. Miss Lucy Coats,
the favorite Of her classmates, was crowned
Queen Of May-indeed she was entitled to
the honor, for she looked the Queen of
rosy-eheek May to the very letter The
large stage erected in the rear Of the school
room, beneath cluster Of oaks, was taste-
fully arranged and decorated with wreaths
of eVergreens variegated flowers, ETC., while
transparencies, especially provided for the
occasion, shed halo Of mellow light upon
the enchanting scene. In front of the stage
was erected a monster May-pole, wreathed
from base to cap with cedar and flowers Of
almost every kind, while at intervals sus-
pended lights revealed what every eye
rested on and pronounced superb. After
the browning of the Queen, which was done
in a handsome manner, calls were made by
the large cOncourse Of ladies and gentlemen
present for various parties to make speeches;
but Major J. B. Dennis and J. J. Dupuy
alone responded, each of whom, however,
was a host within himself, and edited al
with rich language and appropriate allu-
sions. Messrs Brooks and Ford, with flute
and guitar, added another endearment to
the beautiful scene Take it all in all, we
never saw the May-Day festival of the Bolt
var Female Academy equaled. Long may
the joyous hearts and bright eyes assembled
on the night Of the first of May put forth
their songs of glee and loving chances.
On the following day the young ladies
composing the school of Mrs Glover, to-
gether with their numerous playmates and
friends, betook themselves to the shady
groves of our warm hearted fellow citizen,
P. T. stones, Esq, where all went merry
as a marriage belle" As we were not pres
ent on the latter occasion, and as a distin-
guished friend of ours, who was present, has
communicated the incidents and pleasant
riessof the day, which communication APP
pears elsewhere IN this issue of the BUI.LE-
TIN, we refrain from making any further
remarks, and will only add that we sincerely
hope and trust that an all-wise Providence
will preserve and protect the young hearts
that so much enjoyed the first and second of
May, 1868.

DR. JOHN BULL-Dear Sir: have re
Gently given your =" Worm Destroyer " sew
eral trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious.
1t has not failed in a single instance to have
the wished-for effect l am doing pretty
large country practice, and have daily use
for some article of the kind. I am free to
confess that I know of no remedy recon-
mended by the ablest authors that Is so GER
tain and speedy In its effects. On the con-
trary, they are uncertain in the extreme. My
object in writing you is to find out upon what
terms / can get the medicine directly from
you. If can get it upon easy terms,
shall use a great deal of it l am aware
that the use of such articles is contrary tC
the teachings and practice of great majority
of the regular line Of NJ. DIS, but l see nc
just cause or good sense in discarding a
remedy which we know to be efficient, sim
ply because we may be ignorant of its com.
bination. For my part l shall make it a
rule to use all and any means to alleviate
suffering humanity which J may be able to
commandment hesitating because some one
more ingenious than myself may have
learned its effects first, and secured for him
self the right to use that knowledge. How
ever, / am by no means an advocate or sup
porter of the thousands OF worthless nOstrums
that flood the country, which purports to
cure all manner of disease to which human
flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform
me of your best terms.
am, sir, most respectfully,

OScE AGAIN-Several parties having
promised to put their squares in order in
the Union Cemetery, are requested to do so
at once. And in this connection, desire to
call the attention of the 81 Hardeman County
Monumental Association" or any others
who feel an interest in keeping in repair the
graves of unknown and friendless departed
Confederate soldiers, to the fact that there
is a square in this cemetery containing the
graves Of eight or ten Of these brave mar
tyrs to the lost cause, and that this square
is in the most neglected condition of any in
the cemetery, and looks as though it had not
been approached by friendly rootstep since
the surrender. This humble burial place
has, no doubt, been overlooked in surveying
a broader .1eld but attention now being
called to the matter, it viii, hope. receive

SINGULAL DEATH.-Last Sunday freed
man, aged 20 years, by the name of Lee
Sain, and who was in the employ of our
fellow-citizen, W Macon, Esq, met his death
in the following singular manner: Deceased
was digging for fish bate with a spade and
at the same time he held in his hand large
navy repeater. unfortunately the muzzle of
the weapon was pointed upward thrusting
the spade into the earth somewhat hurried
", the pistol struck the upper part Of the
instrument with such force as to cause a
discharge of one Of the chambers, and this
too. while deceased was leaning over the
handle of the spade. The ball took effect
in the left breast in the region of the heart
ranged upward, and produced wound which
caused death within less than twenty min
utes. Lee is said to have been an excellent
laborer. This event should be warning to
those unused to handling fire arms.

BAD BoYs-While Bolivar can boast, and
justly too, of her beautiful and well be-
hayed girls, she cannot, only in few in
stances, say anything very hattering as CON
Germs the good department Of her male sar-
diRes-we won't say mackerels, but if some
of the boys that were at the Female Academy
last Friday night were in Memphis they
would get sealey to dead moral certainty.
We do not say this for the purpose of of
Tending any one, but purely from the best Of
motives We cannot partieularize, and hope
that on the next secession soms Of the older
heads about town will keep an eye on the
surroundings, and then "Uncle Billy OF
"Old Slap can take hand at setting up
and communicate the facts to whom they
please, through the columns Of the BULLETS

The proprietor Of this celebrated medi-
cine Justly claims for it a superiority over
all remedies ever offered to the public for
the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent
cure of Ague and Fever or Chills and Fever,
whether of short or long standing. He re-
fers to the entire Western and Southwest
ern country to bear him testimony to the
truth of the assertion. that in no case what
ever viii it fail to cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In a
great many cases a single dose has been suf-
icient for a cure, and whole families have
teen cured BY a single bottle, with a perfect
restoration Of the general health. IL Is,
}lewever prudent, and IN every case more
certain to cure, if its use is continued in
smaller doses for a week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially in
/ difficult and long standing cases. Usually.

NAUHGTY.-I.ast Saturday evening as par
ties were returning from the pic mic at
Leatherville, an over fast youth recklessly
rushed a horse which he was riding up to a
buggy that contained an estimable young
lady and gallant gentleman, and came very
near being the cause of an accident Which,
if he has any, would cause his conscience to
accuse him as long as life As soon as the
collision took place, the youths horse kicked
the buggy with great force, upsettiug it and
throwing the parties to the ground. BY the
quick action and selfeontrol of the young
ladies companion, she was extricated from
a position in which she might have been
crushed to death, as she was completely
under the vehicle, and by a sudden start oil
the fiery animal hitched to the same, subject
to being dragged along the road.
