THEIR PECULIAR PRACTICES.

RUTHERFORD, n. c., June 16.-Great
Indignation and talk of lynching was
the result here tonight OF the first pub
lie service held at Duncan Creek by the
Mormon missionaries, who have been
gathering recruits in this section for the
last two weeks. The four missionaries
have been holding prayer meetings and
presenting fiattering inducements to
converts. This evening seven women
and three men who have protested the
faith were baptized in Duncan Creek.
Several hundred people, about half be.
ing women, gathered on the banks to
witness the ceremony. The place was
lit up by pine knots and torches.
The converts and missionaries arrived
about O'Clock, and went into a email
house adjacent, and when night fell the
entire party of converts, male and fe-
male, accompanied by the four mis-
sionaries, left the building. all of them
entirely nuoe. At first, as they march
ed to the water, there was q murmur
OF surprise among the crowd, soon fol-
lowed by Kisses, but they did not inter-
fere with the party. The rite was per-
formed in the middle OF the creek,
where the water was scarcely waist
deep, two Of the missionaries CARRYING
pine knots IN their hands. After the
ceremony committee of citizens wait
ed upon the Mermons and gave them
notice to quit the county at once OF
pain of summary justice. Several of
the women IN the party are quite pref
ty, and have borne good characters.
The Mormons are demoralized, and
gave assurance that they would leave
tomorrow for Utah.
