GETTING Down B,LLs.-Townshi

CUTTING Down BILIs.--Township
Assessors and others have grumbled
considerably because the Board of
Supervisors ut their session last month
cut down bills so much. Right here
we may semark that we always
thought that tho policy Of cutting
down sworn bills Is one which NAV
easily be overdone, and when carried
too far tends To induce people to bring
IN too large bills in the first place
with the expectation OF having them
cut down anyhow--thus bringing
about u bad state of affairs I'm the
County. But our Supervisors are
good, honest men, and men of good
Judgment; and would not cut down a
bill unless they thought they ought
to. AS we understand it, in regard to
the Assessors bills this year the Board
adopted a standard based on the bills
OF several Assessors Of the larger
Townships, which seemed to be right
and fair, and then made the other
Assessors allowances conform to that,
in proportion to population and terri
tory--so as TO get what they consid-
cred a fair aud equal rating all rmlnd.
Several bills Of other kinds were dis
allowed for lack OF being properly
presented or authenticated.

THE DEMOCRAT of this week
quotes portion Of Horace Greeley's
remarks in regard to his recent trip,
and says sit will be seen that he \
found that the thieving carpet-bag-
gers are the cause of all the troubleo
in the South. But the Democrat
carefully omits to mention that Mr..
Greeley denounced the Ku Klux In
strong terms, and thought the Gov
eminent ought to extirpate them.
The Democrat says that on Mon
day Of last week, sixteen car loads Of
hogs We're shipped from Pella to
Chicago and Buffalo, by Messrs. Cath
cart of Attica, Donley 4 Burris.
Hanks & Bethany, and Frush &
johnson Of this city. Two car loads
of cattle were also shipped at the
same point, on the same day.

THE FOURTH was blessed with the
pleasantest weather imaginable. A
large crowd of people gathered into
town, so that the streets were thronged
all day. An ca tcmporc arrangement
was made during the day, for Cele-
bration, in pursuance of which the
Knoxville Brass Band came out with
their Music i'm the afternoon, and
gathered the people to the Public
Square, when the Declaration Of In
dependence was read by G.. X. Hart,
ESQ.,, and an Grafton was delivered by
Rev. j. Craig. Although got up on
so short notice, the Grafton was very
highly commended. After these en-
ercises every person was left free to
enjoy himself according to the dictates
of his own conscience, until near sun
down, when the three fire-balloons
were sent up, and rose in splendid
style. Later in the evening the Fire
works We're displayed, in the west
part of town, and all went off first
rate. So the day passed pleasantly;
and we have heard Of no disorder. and
no accident except the one elsewhere
recorded.

LEAD BLOSSOM. Mr. j. S. DotsOn
has added a fine specimen to the min
eralogical cabinet we are gradually
collecting. He ploughed it up, few
days ago, on his farm four miles west
Of town. 1t appears something like
a stone, but Of very peculiar style.
Prof Fox has examined it, broken it
open, and found it to be mass of tiff,
with small chunks Of Trenton lime
rock imbedded in it. He pronounced
the specimen one Of the very best pos
sible signs Of lead. The trouble is,
however, that it had evidently been
drifted down to its late locality.

MARBLE IN MISUNDERSTANDING the
mineral treasures which Prof Fox's
Surveys are developing in our County
is an inexhaustiblc quarry of n species
Of mnrble-a specimen OF which may
he seen ut our Office. 1t ~ Of blush
tint, very hard receives n very smooth
finish, and may be described as mica
ceous cnlcarcons marble. There is
some magnesium In it, and some cal
cium; but mica in u refined condition
predominates. The quarry is on Hen
rs McKinnis's land, IN section 10, on
English creek, q miles east OF Knox
vile. IL crops out in the bank Of the
creek, In an exposure feet thick and
65 feet wide, about 50 feet below the
top Of the bank or bluff. The best
proof of its practical inexhalstibility
is found In the fact that, half II mile
bnclS from the edge Of the bluff, well
has been sunk to the depth of so feet,
Mt which depth this same bed Of mar
bic WAS struck, aud penetrated, and
found 10 lao seven feet thick of solid
stone. Immediately below this mar
Bile vein Of water was tapped, in n
bed Of black slate, which was pene-
trated for only little distance.
This marble ~ of the very best quail
ity for MI building purposes, being
practically indestrnctible. 1t would
serve printers for A Imposing Stones.
Prof. Fox says tlnt this is very nearly
the same stone as that of which he
found u large bed up in Pleasant Grove
Tp., on the river. We shall hope To
see these valuable deposits opened and
worked on large scale some day.

.FRoM GERMASY.-The following
are extracts from recent letter from
Henry Donnel, Esq. dated at Bar
singbausen, Province Of Hanover, June
i, 1871:
I'VE live at the foot OF range OF
mountains that are covered with q
dense forest of beech and pine: and
from here we have fine view OF the
valley northeast and west IS far as
the eye can carry. The plain is dot
ted all over with villages, from ore to
two miles apart, where the people live
instead of in scattered farrn-houses.
The lands have no fences, but are sim
ply marked out. The farming is chief
ly done by the women. You hardly
ever see man at work in the field.
The other day saw about 80 women
at. work on railroad. AT one time |
saw woman and a dog harnessed
together, drawing small two-horse
wagon, and man following with a
stick In his hand. ] did not see him
use the stick, but suppose il must have
been intended to keep them going.
On inquiring as to what they were
doing, was informed that this was an
Express, for the delivery Of goods in
any part Of the city"
What terrible contrast to the Wo-
mans Rights Agitation in this coun-
try! t

RIVER NEWS.
PORT LIST.
RIVERS AND THEIR CONDITION.
ARRIVED AND DEPARTED

The river at this point is falling again,
and rapid decline may be looked for, as
the late rise has run out.
The Mississippi is steadily falling, and
is filled with heavy floating ice which has
closed navigation in that river earlier this
season than has been known for several
winters, and the prospects are good for 1t
remaining closed for several months.
Boats bound for ST. Louis give up the
ghost and hunt their holes when they arrive
here. Heavy floating ice began passing
down the Mississippi early Thursday
morning. 81. Louis may as well now call
herself an inland town and be done with
it, for it is as plain as the nose on mans
face that she is played out for this winter.
AT Pittsburg the river is still running
very low, and fears are entertained that
the cold weather will close the Allegheny
river.
At Gallipolis the river is rising very
fast, supposed to be from the kanawha
river.
At Louisville the river still falls with
four feet eight inches in the canal. There
is three feet down the pass at New Albany.
At Evansville the river is falling rapidly
with six feet out to this post.
Cumberland river is rising yet with
twenty-five inches on Harpeth shoals.
