THE FENCE LAW.

Preparations are making for carrying into
effect the provisions of the fence law as adopt
ed by several of the townships in the county.
We learn from the County Commissioners
that portion of the boundary fence has al
ready been located-from the residence Of
Mrs. Kell, on Bullocks creek, to the corner
of Bethel township-a distance of about 15
miles. 1t is estimated that from the starting
point to the corner of Kings Mountain
township, distance of ten miles, there will
be only about two miles of fence to build, as
the work can be accomplished by connecting
with fences now standing. The fencing will
cost, it is thought, about $40 per mile. On
the remaining distance to the Bethel corner,
perhaps one-half of the line will have to be
built anew. The line of the boundary fence
from the Bethel corner to the North Carolina
line, has not yet been located. The operation
of the fence law will extend to all the town.

Broad River and Cherokee-the two latter

DEATH OF A FORMER CITIZEN.
A correspondent informs us Of the death,
at Carni, Illinois, on the 18th of November
last, of Mr.. Daniel McElherar, who will be
remembered by a few of our old citizens as
formerly resident of Yorkville. He was
an Irishman by birth and tanner by trade,
and came to the United States in the same
vessel which broug ght Mr.. Thomas Palmer,
formerly of this place, but who now resides
in Charlotte, N. G. At one time Mr.. McEl.
heran was in the employment of Col. W. c..
Beatty, who had tannery conducted at the
place in this town now owned by Mr.. Joseph
HerndoD, and used by him for the same pur-
pose. In the year 1885, Mr.. Nee Elheran en-
gagged in the tanning business on his own &C.
count, on the premises now owned by Miss
Eliza johnson, one mile and.a.ha from
town, on the east side of the Lincoln road.
He continued there, however, but short
time, when he removed, with his family
to Illinois. At the time of bis death, he
was about 85 years old. .... a...

Adulteraling Wheat.

The Miller gives an account of new
trick where one would think it impossi-
BILE to make point. For instance,
good honest wheat is good the world
over. But it is not so good when it has
gone through the hands of a manipula-
tor who oils it. The practice is now
followed to considerable extent on the
Continent. It is stated that wheat,
which in its natural condition would
weigh one hundred and twenty three
Dutch pounds, by the process Of oiling
will gain sir pounds, or from ten to
twelve per cent, in weight more than
there really is of wheat. The gain on
the part of the dishonest seller is from
twenty to twenty-five shillings per ton.
The apparent increase in the specific
gravity is obtained by an outlay for rape
oil of about four pence. Wheat thus
treated can never be made into good
flour. The practice is not confined to
wheat alone, but is applied to all grain
sold by weight. OF course the adulter-
alton can be easily detected. But wheat
oiled in this way is really handsomer
grain in appearance than when no such
application has been made. 1t has been
possible to adulterate -four and sugar.
But who ever heard before of process
for adulterating wheat before millingp
In this country, where wheat is so
cheap, it is not likely that the cheat will
be very extensive. But in times when
the price is extremely high, if there
could be gain of say five dollars per
ton as in Europe, there might be great
deal of oiled wheat

Words of Wisdom.

Keep aloof from quarrels be neither
a witness nor party.
Truth is violated by falsehood, and it
is equally outraged by silence.
The tongue three inches long can kill
a man six feet high.
Deprive yourself of nothing necessary
to comfort, but live in an honorable
simplicity and regularity.
There is an old German proverb to
the effect that a great army leaves the
country with three armies-an army of
cripples, an army of mourners and an
army OF thieves.
Liberal of cruelty are those who PAM
per with promises; promises destroy
while they deceive, and the hope they
raise is dearly purchased by the depend
ence that is sequent to disappointment.
Our success in life generally bears a
direct proportion to the exertions we
make; and if we aim at nothing we shall
certainly achieve nothing. BY the re-
mission of labor and energy it often
happens that poverty and contempt,
disaster and defeat, steal march upon
prosperity and honor, and overwhelm
us with shame.

A Terrible Storm Cloud,

The recent tornado in the West killed
a number of persons and destroyed
large amount of property. In some To-
calities the effects of the whirlwind were
appalling. A most terrific storm struck
the farm of William Brun, a German,
about three miles south of the village of
Darlington, suburb of Chicago. The
storm cloud was observed first by Henry
Stofel, the hired man, who was at work
near the house, advancing from the
southwest, bounding over the ground
and accompanied by an almost indescrib-
able noise. When it got within about
200 yards of the farm house, it struck
the ground with deafening noise and
seemed to rest there for a moment. It
then rose in the air about fifty feet, car
rying with it mass of earth, trees,
sticks and debris, and, as it approached
the house, it again descended, striking
the side CT the building, literally lifting
Ii up, whlrllng 1t over und Uvor, tearing
it to pieces and scattering it in every di-
rsction. The work of destruction took
place in the air, at height of about 80
feet. Stofel ran towards the house when
he saw the storm coming, taking with
him little son of Mr.. Brun, but the
tornado struck him when within about
ten rods of the house, throwing him
and the boy in opposite directions. Sto-
fel struck the ground about thirty feet
distant, on his back, and lay there
| stunned for several seconds. The first
thing he saw was the house going up,
and he was obliged to hold on to the
shrubbery with might and main to keep
from being sucked into the vortex of the
storm. 1t was over in few minutes,
and Stofel got up to see what had be-
come of Mrs. Brun and the children.
The boy who was with him was picked
up alive, but badly hurt, in a lot short
distance away. In a pasture about one
hundred rods off, one little girl was
found with her head torn from her shoul-
ders and her clothing entirely stripped
from her body, which was fearfully dis
figured. Another little girl was found
lifeless in the yard, where both the chill
dren had been playing when the storm
struck. Nearly every bone in the little
ones body was broken. Mrs. Brun was
found dead about fifty rods off in q
northeast direction from the house. She
is supposed to have been alone in the
house at the moment the storm struck,
and consequently was carried up with il
and must have suffered a fearful death.
Mr.. Brun was at Plane Grove, about
four miles distant, when the storm arose,
and seeing the direction it took, started
with all speed for home, but was met
half way by neighbors who told him the
sorrowful tale of his loss. The grief Of
the strong man was heartrending as he
went hither and thither through the
ruins calling for his wife and children
