MADE BALD BY FEIGHT.-Terror,
it seems, can take off the hair, as well
as turn it. The Gazette des HospitaG1
gave an account not long ago ofa sing
ular case of alopecy.
a girl, aged seventeen, who had al
ways enjoyed good health, had one
day narrow escape from being
crushed by floor giving way be-
meath her. She was very much fright
cned, and the same night began to
complain Of headache and chi!ls. The
next morning she felt restless, and had
itching of the scalp.
During the few following days she
steadily improved, with the exception
of the itching. One day, in combing
her hair, she noticed that it came out
in great quantities.
Three days later she was perfectly
bald. Her general health was good
but her head continued bald, and was
still so when seen two years later by
the reporter.

Two horse drovers from Tennessee
were proceeding through Mitchell
County, their destination being Ashe-
vile, with drove of no seq, when
two of the number were discovered
missing from the drove since their last
stopping place, some distance back.
1t was agreed by the drovcrs, who
were brothers, that one of them should
return for the purpose of recovering
the straycd horses; and that they
SHOULD both meet at house which

had sold the horses in Ashcville and
gotten the money for them, and
the other when he had succeeded in
his search.

A DISCRIMINATING COUNCIL. y

How discriminating are the mature delib-
erations of our Town Council! They have
determined that we shall not have our faces
washed on Sunday mornings in the barber
shops, because it would be q desecration Of
the holy Sabbath day. How commendable
such lofty piety! 1t is living commenta-
ry upon our Christianity but there is no
money in the supposed privilege to BARRIERS
or the accommodation it would afford some
of their patrons who may possibly have slight
symptoms of headache on Sunday mornings
and keenly feel the want of the BARRIERS re.
vivifying touches. This luxury, however, is
now denied the public; though for the sake
of few dollars the Town Council-will license
bar-rooms, that our sons may ruin their pros
poets in this life and the life to come. That
is all right. There is money in it. Then
poorly disguised gambling concern comes
along, and for a very small amount of money
this discriminating Council grants license, and
to that extent legalizes what the wisdom of
the age has been trying to suppress, and by
such permission entailsupon the community all
the demoralizing effects of this intolerable
evil. 20 Consistency, thou art a Jewel"

YORKVILLE. s. c.:
THURSDAY MORNING. MARCH 8. l8s
THE LIEN LAW.

There seems to be some difference of opin.
ion as to whether or not parties can withdraw
liens after they have been. iudexed in the
clerks Office. The Supreme Court decided
last year that under the act of March 4th,
1878, agricultural liens must remain on file
in the clerks Office, in order to secure the
benefits of the said act. Since the decision
of the Court, however, the Legislature passed
the following act:
cure landlords and persons making advances"
Be it enacted de-, That an Act entitled IAN Act
to secure landlords and persons making adVan,
ces," approved March 4, 1878, be amended so that
Section thereof shall read as follows:
Section 6. That every lien for advances and Tor
rent where the agreement is forsmore than one
third of the CROP shall be indexed in the office OF
the Register Of Mesne Conveyance of the county
in which the lienor resides, within thirty days OF
the date of the lien and the indexine of the said
lien shall constitute notice thereof to all third per-
sons and entitle the same to the benefit OF this
Act. Said index shall show the names of the
lenor and lienee, the date and the amour OF lien,
and brief description Of the place so cultivated.
And for indexing said clerk shall receive htteen
cents for each lien from the party presenting the
same And said indeXing shall be sufhcient
record of the SAME And the property covered
by said lien so indexed as aforesaid, if found in
the hands of subsequent purchasers or creditors
shall be deemed liable to said lien: Provided
That all liens herein provided for shall be in wri
ting, except the landlords lien for rent where the
amount does not exceed onethird of the crop
Provided, further, That so much of any Act or
Acts as is inconsistent with the provisions of this
Act be, and the same is hereby, repealed"
Approved December "a, 1880.
1t, therefore, appears that indexing in the
clerks office now constitutes sufficient notice
and record of liens, and that parties can take
charge of their liens after they have been
properly indexedby the Clerk.
