To the officers Of the Liberal Club and tn e
Liberal County Committee.

At the request of many of our friends I
interested myself in procuring 200 uniform ms
for torch-light professions. About oue-third
enough money was raised, in small subscrip-
tons, among the people, to procure them,
and l ordered them with an agreement that
unless the balance of toe money should be
raised the Uniforms should be returned -
The men who ought TO have led in the
matter have not done so, either personally
or pecuniArily, and l do not feel able to pay
for the uniforms myself If the Liberal
Club or the Comfy COMMITTEES want them
they can get them tomorrow, if not they
will be returned the express charges paid out
Of the money collected and the balance of the
money will hold, subjsc, to the order Of
those who contributed it.

A Balloonist Drowned.
PARTICULARS OF THE FATAL ACCIDENT TO
PROF. ATKINS IN TENNESSEE.

A balloon ascension, resulting in tragic ca
tastrophe, occurred at Decatur, Ala, last Mon.
day. The balloon was of the hot-air class, and
one OF the main attractions connected with Nike
Lpman's Queen City Circus. When large
crowd had gathered, and just before the pro.
cess OF imitation had been fully completed
frof. Atkins, the @ronaut, expressed great I'M
easlness as to the safety of the ascension. The
circus men, however, only laughed at his ap,,
prehenslons, and, In joking way, remarked
that he would come down all right. Still ne
could not dismiss his dark forebodings, and at
ter he had gotten into the basket of the bal
loon preparatory to its being let off, he re-
marked to the spectators in very sad tone OF
voice, This is the last ascension I'll ever
make" Very soon the balloon was released
from its moorings and shot up, ascending to
the height of about half mile 1t was stead
lily driven by current of wind over Decatur,
lowered over the Tennessee river, and then
descended as rapidly as it had assembled, falling
about the middle of the river. Prof Atkins
soon rose to the surface, but having become
entangled in the ropes attached to the basket,
he succeeded In releasing himself only after
desperate struggle, which it is supposed, ex-
hausted his strength. He swan heroiealy to-
ward the shore opposite Decatur, while the
balloon hoated down the stream. A fisherman
named Abe Nichols, who was half a mile away
at the time the balloon fell into the river,
rowed toward it as fast as possible, to save the
daring @ronaut. Not being able to see him
after the balloon had struck the water, and be-
lieving that he would cling to it until it sunk,
Nichols made for the balloon. On nearing it,
however, he discovered Prof. Atkins some dis
tanee off. and at once tried to row to him, butin
vain, for just as he got within about twenty or
thirty feet of him, Prof Atkins, who had him
self nearly reached the shore, sank and rose no
more. The balloon was recovered some dis.
tance below where Prof Atkins was drowned,
and was again exhibited at Pulaski yesterday,
but the eronaut's body has not yet been re-
covered

FLEMING COUNTY, KENTUCKY,

| way ZSLl, 1857.
Dear Editor of the Spectator Years ago.
when | was boy, / read in Olneys Geog-
raphy ''that nearly the whole of Kentucky
rests upon bed of limestone" but little did
| think that thirty years later, a new wonder
should burst upon my sight in beholding the
thousands and tens Of thousands, nay, millions
| OF seashells, which everywhere lie imbedded in
the soft stratum" of Kentucky's limestone
formation. Yet this is one of the facts to be
seen by any one who will come to this fertile
and beautiful region and examine for himself
Does it not most clearly indicate that we are
inhabitiDg the bed of former lake, sea or
ocean? What is most puzzling to a tyro in
Geology is, that there is succession of sever
| al hard layers of real pure blue limestone
lying above this shelly and imperfect rock. IF
| see an opportunity, will send you handful
of the most perfect seashes gotten out of the
formation, and also pieces of what looks like
petrifed limbs and roots of trees.
As the soil is largely composed of the under
lying rocks in all parts of the world, this abun-
dance of limestone accounts for the great rich
in the land of Boone.
Fun, it seems, is one of the things pertain
ing to mans nature, and as | have recently
heard of very amusing objection. which a
hard-to satisfy husband made to his wife's
bread, l will give it, as there may be medicine
in the laugh it will provoke, and perhaps
enough of ridicule to save some other lady
equally beset by querulous lord:
''Well, Mr.. Casslday, pray do tell us what
in the world is the matter with the bread now :?
| have left out the lard and the soda, as you
desired, and have baked my bread exactly like
Mrs. Jones, which you say is the best ever
eaten, and SO what on earth can be wrong with
it now?"
why, Sallie, the bread has not got the
right shape" !" exclaimed old growler, in tones
of anger and in half whining voice.
Here is another of very different ''order'
of genius: Tom johnson, of Danvie, KY,
was kind of poet, and after having been out
late at night in company with two Of his imbi-
bing friends, they sailed into the dining room
of hotel kept by one ''o!d man Gill" but
finding nothing but empty dishes upon the ta-
BILE. the poet improvised the following:
.'Oh Thou who bless d the loaves and fishes,
Look down upon these empty dishes,
And that same Power that did them fill,
Bless each of us, but d-n old Gill"
have recently had the pleasure of meeting
with two of our Augusta men-Messrs. OFT
and Keran, both usefully engaged in teaching
and highly esteemed by the good citizens of
Fleming county.

The Valley Musical Association commenced
its Semi-annual Session at Tinkling Spring
Church on the 28th inst The exercises were
conducted by Prof Evans in his usual efficient,
happy, style, and who has on all occasions
proved himself to be a master workman in his
line The house was well filed each day with
an appreciative audience, who were delighted
with the exquisite performance of Prof E.
and Abby, assisted by the other members of
the Association from Harrisonburg, Waynes-
boro', Greenville and Bethel and last but not
least Tinklng Spring and other portions of the
county and surrounding counties.
Miss Dolly Warden and her yotaries were in
attendance.
The Convention vas in session four days and
closed with Concert on Friday evening. The
proceeds which amounted to about $iOO was
appropriated to the use of the Parsonage. The
performance consisted in the rendering of So
los, Duets, Chorusses and Anthems by the
members. Augusta was we'll represented in
talent and beauty by the amatures of the sa-
cred art Miss Fannie McComb was kind E.
nough to tender the use of her Piano to the
Association, which was used in connection with
the Church Organ. The Ladies of the con-
gregation and surrounding neighborhood pre-
pared each day sumptuous Dinner in the
Church yard, and on Friday, which was very
warm day, was rendered more pleasant by a
delightful treat of ice cream to the singers, by
our worthy PASTORS wife, Mrs Strickler.
This meeting was pronounced to be perfect
success-one of the best ever had in the Val
ley, and will be long remembered with feelings
of pleasure, by all who were privileged to par.
