Mr.. Editor:-I will now comply
with your polite request to write to
you occasionally. First, allow me to
ray that our ice-crtslm festival and So
ciable given las Friday evening, was
Il satisfactory success. The ladivs did
themselves much credit i'll the prepa-
ration OF Meats, Breads and Cakes.
4 number of very handsome cakes
were contributed; one by Mrs, DIR.
Hunt. OF Ripley, Miss, and another
By Mrs Col Tucker, of Somerville,
attracted the attention of verybOdy in
the house, and both were much com
plimented. The large school hall was
most tastefnlly arranged with pictures,
flowers, evcrgreens, etc. There were
three rows If tables extending from
one end of the house to the other
a handsomely decorated flower
table occupied one end of the rostrum
and q postofice at the other end. a
large number of guests were present,
good number of whom we're from
Ripley, Miss, and other neighboring
towns. A large stock cake, very hand
some, was voted to Miss Tennie LII
lard, of Middleton, as the most beau
tiful and popular young lady present
This cake was voted off at $500.
The receipts of the evening amour
ted to over one hundred dollars, which
is to be used in aid of an enlalg cement
of the school building, by adding two
other rooms to the house, tn he used
as music rooms. The trustees of the
school have ordered work to be com
menced at once and hurried to com
pletion. The next term Of the school
will begin on the 9th of Sept, and the
out look is good for fine attendance.

Of last Springs burning. Frank Lam

laration of his convictions, and Jealous
in the defense of what he thought was
right. If ever in error upon any
question, he was honestly so.
His positions upon all subjects were
cautiously and considerably taken,
and when taken, it mattered not TO him
whether they were popular or unpop-
ular, he maintained them unfinching-

Hundreds in this and other commu-
munities, who had business re-

will and other manly qualities; but
only those of his own household, and

depth and tenderness of that love
which he lavished upon wife and chill

Before man becomes an expert diver
he must undergo q course of severe phys
ical training. The atmospheric pressure
on the surface is fifteen pounds for every
square inch of the body, and on the av-
erage man is something like fifteen tons,
but the outside and inside pressure being
equal, this immense weight is unnoticed.
At every thirty-four feet of descent under
water this pressure Is increased one at
mosphere, on the additional pressure of
fifteen pounds to the square inch, and as
it Is absolutely necessary to have the air
pressure In the armor fully equal to
that of the water, some idea con be had
of what the diver must Withstand, even
at the moderate depth OF thirty -four feet,
although the inhaling of this compressed
air in q measure relieves the unpleasant
sensation. When the distance is in
creased to a hundred or hundred and
fifty feet, the sensation becomes almost
unendurable-the blood starts from the
eyes, ears, mouth, and even from the
pores of the skin, and on returning to
the surface extreme exhaustion is the re-
suit. Some men are SO constituted phys
icaHY that they cannot remain under
water at all The greatest depth that is
ever attained is one hundred and fifty
feet, and then the most experienced
diver can remain at this point but five or
six minutes without serious injury.
Divers go to this depth only to secure ar
ticles of great value, remaining long
enough to attach chain or rope. At 8
hundred feet an old diver can remain
about an hour, and at fifty feet from four
to six hours, according to the strength
of the diver

IN MEMORIAM.

Leonidas Bills departed this life, at
his home in Bolivar. Tenn essee, on
Friday the 18th of August 1881, in
the fifty fourth year of his age, after
an illness of but short duration. He
complained of being very unwell ON
the Saturday previous to his death, and
was not well any more, although, he
continued about his ordinary bust
ness until the succeeding Wednesday,
when he was compelled by the severity
of the disease which preyed upon his
system, to call in his family ply
stefan. From this time, he was
actively treated, and all that the skill
of his physicians or careful nursing of
friends could accomplish, was attempt
ed, but all to no purpose. The viru-
lence of the malady was not checked
for one moment by the remedies ap-
piled. He continued to grow worse,
hour by hour, until II O clock on the
night of the 18th. when he ceased to
live, passing away SO quietly that
weeping friends hardly knew when he
breathed his last.
The sad announcement of his death
caused quite q shock to the whole
community, but few heard of his sick
ness until the day of his death. He
was q man of such sturdy consti-
tuition and vigorous health; but little
apprehension was felt by those who
knew of his sickness. 1t is sad to
think, that he himself risked too
much on this assurance, and delayed
calling in medical assistance until too
late.
1t is hard to realize that he has fall
en- victim to the monster, death, in
so short time. The deceased was
born and raised in Bolivar, Tennessee,
and here spent the whole of his life.
He was educated a merchant in his
fathers store, and at an early age was
admitted into partnership with him,
which continued until his father retir-
ed from business. Afterwards, he car
ried it on successfully in his own name
until the beginning of the late war,
/ when he entered the Confederate SER
vice and was elected Lieutenant of a
cavalry company for II months After
this term Of service, he again served
as private, until ne was captured a.
a prisoner of war; upon his release on
parole in June 1865, he returned home
and resumed the business of merchan-
die and continued in i: until q bout the
year, 1872.
He married the second daughter Of
the late Pitser Miller, who preceded
him to the grave but one fortnight
His wife, one son, and eight daugh-
tiers survive him and mourn his sudden
death. They have the tenderest sym
pathy of the whole community in this
hour of ineonsolable grief.
The deceased was a sociable, warm
hearted, agreeable gentleman, and had
many firm, devoted friends. He wa.

THE London city Press, remarking
upon the amount of labor and ingenuity
expended upon the production of Bank
of England notes, states that they gre
still made, as for generations past, from
pure white linen cuttings only-never
from rags that have been worn-and, SO
carefully is the paper prepared, that even
the number of dips into the pulp made
by each workman is registered ON a dial
by machinery, and the sheets are care
fully counted, and booked to each per
son through whose hands they pass.
The printing IS done by most curious
process-secret of coUTse-within the
bank building; there Is also IN elaborate
arrangement for providing that no note
shall be exactly like any ether in exist
ence, consequently there never was a
duplicate of any of the banks notes,
except by forgery. It has been said that
the stock of paid notes for seven years is
about "a, 600, 0G0 in number, and that,
placed IN a pile, the mass would be eight
miles high, or, if joined end to end, would
form a ribbon 10, 600 miles long.

The humors of the stage are ofttimes
impromptu and entirely unforeseen. A
real mule was recently one OF the attrac-
tons in the play Of the "Forty
Thieves" as produced In Virginia City,
New. The result is described by the
Chronicle as follows
No sooner had Ali come out of thecave
with his bags of wealth, and attempted
TO put them on the back of the beast,
than he began his part of the perform
ance. He let fly with his heels, kicked
the shavings (the supposed riches) ont
of the bags, kicked down the cavern,
kicked down the whole forest, kicked
down the wings, kicked the end of the
bass-viol leaning against the stage to
pieces, smashed the foothghts, and
finally doubled up Ali by planting both
feet in the pit of his stomach. A rope
was fastened around him, and he was
dragged off by the united strength of
the company.

Your Committee on Preamble and
Resolutions in regard to the death of
Bro. Leonidas Bills, beg leave to sub
nit the following as their report:
Whereas. The Supreme Dictator
of the Universe has deemed proper in
the inscrutahle but wise dispensation of
his providence to remove from our
midst our Bro. Leonidas Bills, and
while we do not question the wisdom
of his decree, it is but natural for us
TO indulge in those feelings of grief
ana sadness, with which the irrepara
bic loss of our dearly beloved Brother
has impressed us and to desire to extend
to his stricken family the consolation of
heartfelt coincidence.
Therefore, be it resolved,
1st, That in the death of our be-
loved Brother, the Lodge, Of which he
was q member, has lost a devoted
brother, and the entire fraternity an
ardent and jealous co-worker.
End, The Society il which he NOV
ed has lost an ornament, the County,
valuable and worthy citizen, and the
Church warm supporter.
3rd, Be il espec tally resolved,
That his wife has lost a devoted and
loving husband; his children, kind
and indulgent father; and exercising
faith in God and the immortality of
the soul, We trust that our irrepara-
bic loss is his eternal gain in heaven.
4th, That copy OF these resolu-
tons be presented to his family, al
copy published in the Bolivar Bulletin,
and a copy spread upon the minutes
of the Lodge.
