It was at Bowling Greene that the last surrender of iConledreate troops took place tin 'der General Breckenridge, after the disbandment of Mr. Davis' chb inct at Washington. It is a small tural settlement, remote from the i ail road, but ever noted for tho high class of citizens that lived in that section. A number of Ath ens best and most enterprising citizens came from in and around BowUn^ Green®. Mr. Hardy tells us that the well into which a r.egro man threw the body of his wife after murdering (he woman, was in his fathers yard. This hoxriMc tragedy oc- cuired some forty years dgo. The woman’s body remained in the well until it btgan to decay, and the Sunday it .was discovered hun- dicd3 of people who. were attend ing n big religious meeting, in the town drank water from it. Late In the evening, when the water be came low, the bucket brought up a rag which led to discovering the body, which had turned white. So thoroughly sick and nauseated was the negihborhood that well, noted lor its fine water, was filled up. Wc arc glad -to sec so much more small graiA planted than we expected, but not more thau half as at this season last year. Farm ers say they will sow spring oats. Wc passed several fields of earn that had not been gathered. Very little farm work has been done. A great deal of land was left uncul tivated last year. One farmer, who owns 640 acres, tells us he has but one hand o:i his place and so had to let it remain idle. We are glad to see Captain Bar nett again on the street and look ing so well. He says he lost about live pounds in weight, but Rich ard is himself again. He has re cently returned from a fishing ex pedition near St. Marks, Fla., with Mr. Billups Phinziy and other gentlemen of this city. ‘ Captain Barnett said he simply rested up and did not catch any fish himself but other members of their party tnet with great success, and they caught more fish than they could cat They were gona* away from Athens eight days ana had a de lightful time.
