Sad ACCiden t.

We regret to learn that Mr.. James Foster
living in that portion of Warren county known
as Hominy Hollow, was, as is supposed, NOR
tally wounded, on Saturday last. 1t appears
that negro man living in that community,
had several eolored women living in his house,
whose outrageous conduct 50 exasperated the
citizens that they determined to rid themselves
of their unpleasant neighbors, and in accord
ance with such determination, a number Of
the citizens proceeded to the residence Of the
negro and notified him to leave, &C., which he
did until some time during the following night,
when the negro becoming alarmed at the de-
termination of the party, fired upon them from
the window, which resulted in wounding Mr.
Foster, which has, in all PROBABILITY, proved IA
tai before this time.

we publish the following which we clip from
the Lexington Gazette
'.Robt L. Montague. formerly Lieut.. Gov
ernor of Virginia, has written an able article
in the Religious Herald, in which he argues
that the Virginia law against disturbing public
worship applies not only while the services are
are going on, but to the whole time that con
gregation is assembled for worship. He cites
several decisions of the courts in support OF
his position, and argues that one who talks in
church, or at the church doors, in such a man
ner as to disturb the devotional feelings Of
others, violates the law, and is liable to prose
cution. If this view of The law we're enforced
in our community, we fear the Grand Jury
would have its hands full
