Bad Behavior in Church.

Dau DenaVloT IN CnurCn.
We were greatly surprised, while coming to
our office on Monday morning last, TO hear
two or three respectable and staid gentlemen
make serious complaints against the behavior of
some young men during divine service in the
Baptist church the night before. We Had felt
proud in the belief that every young man in
Union had too much respect for religion, too
much respect for the House of God, too much
respect for parents and friends, and certainly
too much respect for themselves, to commit an
act that would even appear disrospcctful to so
sacred place, or to n congregation assembled
for the solemn worship of Almighty God.-
Surely those young men cannot think that such
conduct inevitably rccoils with ten fold force up
on their own heads. Is it too much to suppose
that if young men have no respect for such
sacred spot and at such n sacred time, that ,hey
Will have no respect for home, parents, or re-
spectacle society? Such we can assure them is
the suppositioH, and young man loses caste in
any society, directly his conduct betrays want
of respect for religion and religious services If
persons caunOt behave as gentlemen and Ladies
at church, it would be more to their own credit
and far better for the congregation il they did
not go there, We frame no excuse for i'm &.
proper conduct in church. If you do not like
rhc.minixtcr,vaon,s ep,svstsr Akns yp,s ;hs,s,aa.
right to annoy those who do. If you don't be-
lieve in the doctrines Of the church, q decent
respect for those who do should induce you to
either keep away, or behave with becoming de-
cency if you make one Of the congregation

The Knot Gold Nine.

Mr. EDiron You recollect when was at
your place spoke to you something about the
old Knot Gold Mine in yonr county. have
since then seen parties who were well acquain-
ted with the mine, from its origin up to the
present time. The mine /, about ls miles from
Union G. H., and about 5 miles from Glenn
Springs. In colonial days il was part Of tile :
old Arthur Park grant, afterwards owned by
Judge Abraham Knttt, then DR.. Adolphus
Knott, then think, Knott, McCartha & Com
pany, then, DR.. NJ. A. Moore, then Montgomery,
Norris, Knott & Co. The exact organization Of
the different companies do not exactly know,
but, if necessary, all the information can be OBJ
tanned from Mr.. Edward Carol, Who lives about
two miles from the mine, or of Col. J: 7: Giehh,
who was raised and now lives in the iieighbor-
hood An Engishman by the name of Bl5ndcll
leased the mine from some Of the above parties
sometime between 1880 and '37. lie paid D
lease Of one-tenth of the proceeds. During tho
time Blondcl had the mine leased he found n
pocket so feet from the surface from which he g,t
one hundred thousand dollars-as he paid tho
parties owning it ten thousand dollars. 1t was
afterwards leased, for the remainder of his time,
hy some Of the same parties who had leased tU
him. Some time between 1887 and '43 tho
property went into the possession Of Judge
Means, Capt. Thos. Lyles, of Fairfield, N A.
Peay, DR.. Woodward, and perhaps others
during which time Mr.. Edward Carroll worked
two years as a hand and three years as Superin-
tendant Of the mine He has now in his posses
sion all the books, day and data, of the working
Of the mine during the last three years It was
worked. Mr.. Carol commenced as Superinten-
dant March 10. lSi5, and tho property was
bought by n. A. Pcay, better known rs Col
Nick Peny, for which he paid forty thousand
dollars.
December 81, lS49 was tho time Mr.. Carol
quit the supervision of th. mine. Since then it.
has not been worked Ly any one reay di,d

managed by his Executors until the youuge. t

At the sale the property was bought by Judge J.

ent owners.

SnocKtSG ArrAIR.-A difficulty occurred
OH Saturday in Flat Creek township, which re-
suited in the shooting and killing of John Henry
Wild, by his brother, Joseph Wild. 1t seems
that John Henry and his wife were making n
violent, if net deadly assault upon tho mother
of Wild, using shovel and axe. A little girl,
daughter of old Mrs. Wild. seeing her mother
cruelty attacked, ran about quarter of n
mile to her brother Joseph's and notified him
of what was going on. lie at once repaired to
his mothers house, carrying his gun with him.
Upon arriving at the place he discovered that his
mother had been knocked down, and John Hen
ry had the axe drawn over her. Upon seeing
Joseph approach, John Henry Immediately made
ut him with the axe Joseph retrcatcd short
distance, notifying John not to approach him
further and the latter, still pursuing, was fired
upon and instantly killed. Our informant had
not heard Sunday the extent of Mrs. Wilds
injuries. Joseph Wild surrendered himself 10

The Weather---Crops, 90.

The Weather. Crops, 20.
IL is really refreshing to hear our Farmers
tell Of tho astonishing cnange wliioh the late
rains have made i'm the corn crop throughout
this County. In many fields where il was sup
posed the tassels were dead and the crop beyond
the power of rain to recover, we now hear of
the tassels putting on new bloom, shoots of corn
starting and silking, and bright prospect OPEN.
ing for an average crop of corn. Men who
told us two weeks ago of fields that would not
make bushel 10 the acre, now tell us they ex-
pect to make from ten to fifteen bushels per
acre on those fields. This remarkable change,
however, is only seen srhcre the crops had been
,oell ,oorked, and was clean when the rains came.
Where men did not give up in despair, but kept
the plows moving during the "lry SPELL" there,
and there only, have the rains been of much
benefit to early planted corn. 1t is true that in
some few instances, the corn was 'too far gone"
for the rains to recover, even with the best of
work. From the reports received we are in
clined to think that Union will make two thirds
of crop.
OF the cotton VIC cannot speak so hopefully.
The plant, generally, is unusually small, and
there is n general apprehension that it will
"throw Of" much of it's fruit with the new
growth the rains have given it. One gentleman
told us that it had already commenced shedding,
not only squares and blooms, but even we'll
grown bolls. The weather at this timo is very
favorable for the growth of the plant, and if
that was larger, we should expect full crop
but we are satisfied it cannot now make much
more than half crop.

BURNING OF A CorToN FACroRY.-The direst

past was the destruction 10y fire of the steam
mill and cotton factory owned by Mcssrs. J. A.
Cameron and James G.. Wright, ut the Covngton
Mineral Spring, twelve miles southeast of Ben
ncttsville, on the night of the 24th ult. The
iirc was discovered about 3 o'clock in the morn
ing and is supposed to have originated from the
irc-box of the engine which had been used 10
late hour tho day previous in saving lumber
The new factory was nearly ready fer operation
the principal part of the machinery having
been put in position-and it would have had an
suspicious opening with the approach Of the
cotton season. 1t is q severe blow to the factory
interest in this section. Ii seems Us if fatali-
~ attaches to every attempt TO operate n cotton
factory in Marlboro The only two that have
