MEcKLENBURG. FENCED 5IN.-Not-
withstanding the fact lhat4heestock lazy
of Mecklsnburg county was only passed
a few weeks ago, the county has been en-
tire'y fenced in. The farmers took hold
of it Immediately, and the work, COM
pleted on Saturday. A meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners is called
to-day for the purpose of appointing q
committee of two free-holders and one
magistrate.~to-make- an,inspectien Of the
whole line of fence and report to the
Board. It has been discovered, however,
since this.mestingwas: called, that it is
not the duty of the. Board to appoint the
committee. Acting upon this construc-
ton Of the law, it is supposed that the
Commissioners will meet to-day only to
adjourn to some day during the latter
patti Of this week or the first of next,
when the inspection shall have been
made inythe manner required by the law,
wheif they will appoint the PERSONS in
each township whose duty it shall be to
see that the law is enforced, and will for
bid stock running at large. e:rs'-
understand that; two members of
the executive committee: appointed at the
farmers meeting, and fonesmag gistrate,
will:start outton "a tours sof inspection to-
day, The axact length. Of the fence is
not yet known, but. it's presumed that
the committee viii: not complete their
work until the last of this week
: The gentlemen who have hadthis mat
ter in charge deserve the thanks Of the
farmers for the energy and zeal they have
displayed in securing the construction of
the fence at so early day.-Char|otte

;r ENOUGH m; ONE Bel. Emigration to
the State of Michigan was so great during
TIE years 1866, that, every. house Was
filled. eYeIyy night with -ttraYel lers wanting
lodging. Every traveller there at that
time will remember the difficulty of OBJ
tanning bed in the hotels, even if he
had two or three Strange bed-fellows."
The Rev. Hosea Brown, an eccentric
Methodist minister, stopped one night at
one of the hotels in Ann Arbor, and in
quired if he could have room and bed
to himself. The bar keeper told him he
could, unless they should be 80 full asit to
Eender it necessary TO put another inawith

gentlemanf@ent fo.his roomj 6ckeds the
door, and soon retired to his bed and
sunk into comfortable sleep. Along

PLANTING. CoRN-QuIcK GERMrNN-
r1oN.-An Illinois paper says: Doctor
,Chamberlain's practical experiments
demonstrated that nearly half the time
may. be saved in terminating the seed by
the use of the chloride of hme.. He'had
four boxes in his Office. Imone corn was
planted without Being soaked at all. In
the second was soaked in warm water.
In the third, the seed that Was soaked in
a solution of lime, and in the fourth,
other seed that had been soaked in 30 :
luton of chloride Of lime and copperas
in equal parts. All the seed were planted.
at the same time, in the same quality 81
sol, ,'and taken fTom i the. same ear. All
'theGboxes'had unequal share of heat and
light, neither being allowed any adyan-
tage over the others.i IL the fF4 the
seed showed no sign of germi4atfng When
the germs were visible ip the second;
when green blades were peepiag from the
ground in the third and whenlthe blades
were between two and three inches high
in the fourth. Another fact of some inn
portance may also be mentioned. The
copperas used in soaking will prevent the
birds, squirrels, worms, &C., from eating
the seed.
DIR. Chamberlain assured the editor OF
the paper that one pound of'the chloride
of~lime and one pound Of eopperass, IN i!
water, VIII soak enough seed for twenty
acress The cost will not be over twenty,
five. cents: IEcorn that is not soaked
comes UP badly it is important to replanit
as early as possible; and when thus
soaked will catch up with the corn first
planted. -. e,vT -.

experiment. and plant in-aceordaaee With

'@'gEx OF EGGS. "A correspondent Of the
Southern Farmer tells how an old poultry
raiser distinguishes sex in eggs. 1t is
related as follows: eggs with the air
bladder on the sides will produce pullets.'
The old man was so certain of the; trnth
of his dogma, and the poultry yard-so far
confirmed it, that i. determined to make
experiments upon it this year. I have
done SO, carefully registering every 'blad-
der verticle' or bladder on one side, re-
jecting every one in which it was not
decidedly one way or the other, as in
some it was only slightly out of the
centre. The following is the result; SO
chickens hatched; 8 are dead; II too
young yet to decide upon their sex; Of
the remaining A every one has turned
out true to the. old mans theory. I tried
itrmyself and found it to be correct, and
I think it 10 be Of great practical advan-
tage, I am pleased to give it my full
endorsement"

SEQUEL TO A SOCIAL SENSATION.

est. Louis Globe Democracy
Months ago Western society
rang with the account Of a
grand wedding. A fair daugh-
ter Of one Of the oldest and
wealthiest families Of the Mis-
sissippi Valley had been unit
ed to a nob]eman. The arts
of Worth were exhausted in
the preparation Of the trous-
seau. Members of the arts
tocracy from all sections Of
the country were present, and
never was there more brill
liant social event in the histo-
ry Of any one present. The
dai k whiskered nobleman was
reported to be enormously
wealthy. In his own country
he lorded over vast domains
and bid his bondsmen tremble.
His exits and entrances were
attended with a flourish Of
trumpets, When he walked
he was attended by vassals
armed to the teeth. He was
supposed to own vast castles,
the most l,npregnable Of which
he Inhabited, and spent the
season i'll making fierce forays
upou the hear that abounded
in the Businesses Of his native
forests. The wedding was
succeeded by a dizzy round Of
festivities and society was
ablaze. The impressive for~
eigner finally departed with
his beautiful American bride,
and it was said they would
proceed Immediately to inha5-
it one of his paiatiAl castles.-
A sturdy Hlbernian at work
yesterday among the hotel
ruins, turned over some rub
Dish and found a scattered
pack Of letters. Some of the
people in the enclosure began
curiously to examine the docs
uments. One of them was
from the Russian capital. The

to render assistance were the keep
ers Of all might houses along Fifth
street, whose places are particulars
~ numerous in the vicinity of the
Southern. From stalking dollars
they came to stake lives, and the
game they played was one with
death. More than a score Of these
brave men ran up the stairs by the
ladies' entrance on the Fifth street
side, and penetrated to the :opmost
story. bringing down children and
women only to let them go in the
comparative safety OF the street,
returned again and again to the
rescue, and gave up floor after floor

had been overlooked. These men
were the last to abandon the build

back to find himself in perilous

to face the terrors of death from
suffocation. so he crept out upon
