DESTRUCTIVE STORM.


There was quite destructive gale on Tues
day afternoon of last week, beginning in the
Bullock's Creek section in the western part of
this county, and continuing its course east
wardly, passing Chester, Rock Hill, Lancas-
ter, Charlotte, N c., and extending even as
far as Wilmington, taking in Darlington and
other points in this State. In Chester the
fury of the wind was not so great; but we
learn it was severe in Rock Hill and vicinity,
and in sections of Lancaster county. In
Charlotte the most serious damage inflicted
was the blowing down of small wooden
building on the premises of the Rock Island
wooden mills.
In this county, near the scene where the
storm seems to have originated, its fury was
most violent 1t extended for breadth OF
one hundred yards, uprooting and breaking
down trees and scattering fences. On the
premises of Mr.. E. A. Black it was particu-
larly destructive, and in the damage to his
property he sustains serious loss. his
barn, stables, cotton-house, smoke-house, crib
and fodder-house were unroofed; a tree was
blown down, falling on the kitchen, injurlng
that building; portion Of the roof OF his
dwelling was blown of, and one of the doors

YoRKYILLE POST OFFICE.

On Saturday last Mr.. John R. Wallace,
the newly appointed Postmaster at this place,
assumed the duties of the Office. The loca-
tion of the Office has been changed to the
room formerly occupied by the county treas
urer in the Hacket building, opposite Roses
Hotel. Should our new Postmaster be as
successful in pleasing the public as was the
late incumbent, Mr.. John R. Alexander,
there can certainly be no cause of complaint
regarding the performance Of his duties. For
seventeen years Mr.. Alexander has, in scme
capacity, been connected with the Postofice
here, during the whole Of which period there
has never, to our knowledge, been a charge
of dereliction from the department, or we'll
founded complaint from the people.

OUR MERCHANTs..NEW GOODS.


so beautifully upon us, the most important
question with many, especially the fairer por.
ton of humanity, is, what will be the fashion
able styles, and where can they be procured ?
As to the styles of dress and the thousand
and one intricate points involved in this one
question, we confess total ignorance on the
subject, and our utter inability to shed either
light or learning thereon. Fortunately, for
the equanimity Of our mind, we never devoted
much attention to the complex involutions of
the dress-maker and milliner's art; but our
advertising columns always stand as an uner-
ring guide to the different houses at which
the best, the prettiest, the most fashionable
and the lowest.priced goods can be bought,
not only for the ladies but the gentlemen as
we'll. To this department of the ENQUIRER
we refer purchasers Adickes & Black, M.
Strauss & Son, J. H. Adams, T. M. Dobson &
Co., and Carroll, Clark & Co., have all made
their spring purchases and are daily receiving
new goods. The two last.named houses also
keep full lines of groceries and plantation
supplies. Messrs. w. H. & J. P. Herndon,
who do an exclusive grocery business, also
have full supplies of goods in their line. To
the respective announcements of these houses
we direct the attention of our county readers
COUNTERFEIT TREASURY NOTES.
We have been shown q counterfeit U. S.
Treasury note of the denomination of So,
which was recently passed upon citizen Of
this county. The execution Of the note is
very poor, and the quick eye would readily
detect it; but as many persons are in the
habit of receiving bills hurriedly, without even
casual inspection, we deem it proper to warn
the unwary that such counterfeit is in cir
culation. The paper is inferior, and the en-.
craving of the vignettes coarse. The ground
of the female figure, as well as the ground Of
the portrait, are quite black on the counter
felt, the hatching or faint lining of the ground
being all horizontal, while on the genuine bill
the ground is cross-hatched, (or faintlined
each way,) presenting, when printed, a soft
black, approaching gray. The lettering is
somewhat better executed, though quite i'm
perfect and very coarse. In the genuine bill,
the upper edge Of the words "New York"
Immediately under the large green figure 5,
just touch the edge of the shading of the
figure, and are shaded with light horizontal
Matching. On the counterfeit, the same words
are some distance below the figure, and are
not shaded. At glance they present the
appearance of stencilled letters, or those Of
which all the parts of each letter do not join.
Each color of ink used is Of shade different
from the corresponding colors on the genuine
BILL The green is especially distinguishable,
it being of less richness and of a darker hue
on the counterfeit. The red fgcres ir which
the numbers are printed are Of different
style from the genuine, being smaller in depth
and of heavier face. The bill before US is
lettered D, with the figures 80 (quite smalD
on the right-hand lower corner.

BETHEL PREsBYTERY.

We are under obligation to a member of
the body, for the subjoined synopsis Of the
proceedings of Bethel Presbytery, which met
at Pleasant Grove Church, in Chester county,
on Thursday last:
"The Preabytery was opened with an i'm
pressive sermon by Rev. J. Lowrie Wilson,
Moderator. The attendance was quite full
one, there being more than thirty members
present. The church Of Tirzah, Lancaster
county, formerly under the care of the First
Presbytery of the A. R. Synod Of the South,
was, upon application by its Commissioners,
received under the care of the Presbytery. In
the paper, adopted with regard to the subject,
there was expressed an earnest disavowal,
upon the part of Presbytery, Of any intention
to treat the First Presbytery with discourtesy
by this action. The new "rules Of discipline"
were not adopted. The vote which was taken,
after some of our brethren had been com.
PEELED to return home, stood II for and 13
against the new book. The pastoral relation
subsisting between Rev. J. E. White and the
church of Purity, was, BY the mutual request
Of the Pastor and majority Of the members
of the church, dissolved. The narratives
from Sessions respecting the state of religion
in the churches, were Of an unusually encour-
aging tone. The church, whose hospitality
was enjoyed, delighted the Presbytery by the
Christian cordiality as well as generosity and
elegance of their entertainment, and the Pres
bytery shall not for many years forget their
meeting in April, 1873, at Pleasant Grose.
The Fall meeting of Presbytery will be held
with the church of Mt. Olivet, in Fairfield
county, Thursday before the Second Sabbath
in October, 1873"

STARTLING REVELATIONS !,


A hand:bill is in circulation in this COM
munity, copy of which has been placed in
our possession, advertising book entitled
"a Shell in the Radical Camp, or an Expo
sition of the Frauds Of the Republican Party
in South Carolina" "The book is written
by Samuel B. Hall, ex-Probate Judge of
York county," and according to the ADVERTISE
ment, "shows how the ballot-box has been
used and the votes burned, and who has been
bought and sold to get Office, from the highest
to the lowest officer in the State" The ad-
vertisement also states ITO make this work
complete, the author has screened no one, not
even himself, and gives the names in full Of
parties who stole money out Of the State
Treasury during the last Legislature, and
who tried to steal it for him"

lifted from its hinges. Besides the damage
to his buildings, much fencing was also wreck
ed, and several fine fruit trees literally lifted
from the ground. Many of Mr.. Blacks neigh
bors, living in the track of the gale, sustain
serious loss also but go far as we have heard,
the ravages of the storm were not so great in
any other locality. To such distance were
rails blown, and so great was the destruction
of timber, it was necessary to employ wagons
and teams to clear away the debris and res
tore the rails and other timbers to their proper
places. Mr.. Blacks neighbors were very
prompt in rendering him the necessary as
sistance to repair damages to his property,
which kindness lie asks us to acknowledge.

one hundred thousand dollars each, which,
with the proposed subscriptions of York and
Chester, will aggregate six hundred thousand
dollars. The length Of the road will be one
hundred and two miles, beginning at Chester,
twenty-five miles from Yorkville.
Estimates by competent engineers show
the average cost of narrow-gauge roads to be
not higher than seven thousand dollars per
mile, equipped with trains. With these
county subscriptions, aggregating six hun
dred thousand dollars the road will be COM
pleted in two years, or less. There is but one

The people of North Carolina are ready to
respond. You have it in your power to bring
York nearer to commerce and cheap food,
and unite closer with iron links binding the
whole people.
The County Commissioners have the power
to subscribe to this stock. In addition to an
act of the Assembly in such case made and
provided, the charter of this company gives
the County Commissioners of each county
through which the road passes, authority to
subscribe as much as they may think proper:
In Chester, the Commissioners have decided

a like course is pursued by the County
Commissioners of York, that all classes
will unite in sustaining their common interest,

all to build this road. 1t has been demon

portation, in like ratio are the prices of mer-
