The Fence Law.

a bill has passed it's third reading
in tho Senate, which provides that the
County Commissioners of Union,
Chester, Greonville, Spartanburg,
Pickens, and Anderson Counties, upon
the petition of ono hundred citizens,
shall order an election, at which the
qualified voters in these respective
counties, shall vote upon the question
of abolishing the prosent fence law,
aud ifa majority vote in favor there
of, the fact Is to be reported to the
next General Assembly, with petit
tion to enact q suitable law to effect
tho desired object.
There has been great deal said
about the fence law in all quarters of
the State, and the Legislature has, we
think, acted wisely in the promises
by putting tho question to test in
the above counties. Each of the re-
spective counties will havo, at the
coming election, an opportunity to
vote upon this question. Its action
then will settle this much vexed prob
lem. 1t should bo weighed pro and
con by each voter before casting his
vote. There arc, we think, both ad-
vantages and disadvantages connected
with this subject. These should be
thoroughly canvasscd by each voter

SOMETHING NEW ABOUT EGGs.-The
London Neaos says that England imports
Sl20O0,00O worth Of eggs every year; and
then proceeds to speak of the practice
Of drying the egg substance as adopted
in Germany, saying:
There is one establishment at Passau,
on the Danube, which has been for some
months busily engaged in drying the
contents of eggs; aud although it is
scarcely probable that the desiccated
albumen can ever replace new laid eggs
Tor breakfast, We are nevertheless
assured that good omelette, as also
the finest pastry may be prepared from
the product. Several German chemists,
and Prof. Pettenkofer in particular,
are very sanguine as to the sue
cess OF the experiment, and they pro-
nounce dried eggs to have lost none of
their valuable properties by the gradual
evaporation OF the water contained by
them in their original State. Eggs are
largely employed in industry and manu-
factories, sometimes the whites being
used, as in the case Of albumenized pa
per Tor photographers, and sometimes
only the yolks. In these cases much
economy will result from the employ
ment OF dried albumen, for fhe consumer
then need merely purchase the white or
yellow part as it suits him, and will not
be obliged, as at present, to buy the
whole contents of an egg, only half of
which he can use. The fact, too, that
the new product can be transported
without any risk ofbreakage and decay,
which entnil serious loss in the case of
eggs and naturally raise their price in
the market, is also one of vast import
ance.
