The johnson Rifles are preparing for o
Plume Drill, Target Shooting and Picnic,
on the 4th Of July.
Probably No Military Company in the
State, has better material from which Ia
form good Company than the johnson
Rifles of Union, both in the character of ir
men, and its military with little drilling
as Company, every drill afternoon, and no,
q squad now and then, as we have seen o.
late, it could become the banner COMPANY
| Of the State.
It must be very diseouraging TO tn,
officers to prepare for drill, and 20 to the
armory. and find hardly enough to form o
squad.

THE TRENTON OUTRAoE-Trenton June
N.-Press Younce, the unfortunate young
man who was SO brutally shot by Murreil
and Carpenter last Saturday evening, died
this morning at o'clock. Younce had
four skilled doctors attending him, but med
ical aid could not save him.
Murrell was arrested on Sunday evening.
Carpenter went to Edgsfeld yesterday and
surrendered himself to the sheriff. lie did
this in order to save his neck. Excitement
runs high in the neighborho ID over this de-
plorsble affair, aud if Carpenter ha been at
large ts-day and could have been found, he
evidently would have paid tho penalty be-
fore his writing. He is safe now In iaiI.
where he end Murrell will be tsnderly cared
for, and in short while viii, ino doubt,
be free birds.

A LITTLE GIRL FOUND BY HER
MOTHER WITH A RArTLEsNAKE IN
HER LAp.-Deuuison, Tex, Jure 21.-
MIR. II. p. Hedden, who resides South
west Of Dennison. brought to the city
this morning his little child Sallie to be
treated for snake bite. About 6
O'Clock this morning the littlo girl left
the house with a pail on her arm to
gather blackbsrries near Stone Spring.
The child was expected to return homo
soon, as the family was to leave early to
pass the day with neighbor. The
child being absent something over an
hour, Mrs. Haddep proceeded to tho
spring. Tho child was not there, and
the mother called her name loudly sew
eral times. Receiving no response, she
left the spring and walked into the
blackberry patch to hunt up tho child.
Passing through tho patch she saw
scene which made her almost faint with
horror. The child was seated on a
rock and in her lap was largo rattle
snake. The child was carrying the
snake, whose head was slightly elevated
ouN AhoNiuS " lIO.
the snakes head would almost touch the
lips of the child, who pushed it away
without appearing to anger the snake.
The child was so completely under the
spell of the serpent that it paid no at
tcntion to the mother, who screamed so
loudly that her husband heard her q
quarter of a mile distant, and hurried
to the sceno.
When Mr.. Hedden appeared, the
snake placed itself in an attitude of bat
tie, and the air vibrated with the noise
of the rattles. Mr.. Heddea advanced
upon the snake, the child fell back as if
in swoon, and the snake struck it on
the thumb of tho right hand, and then
sprang at Heddep, who killed it with
q stono. Hedden sucked the wound,
which, he is confident, saved tho life of
the little girl. Salaratus was also ap-
piled to the wound. The hand and arm
of the little girl were but very little
swollen when she was brought to the city
for treatment.
The child says that she was sitting
on tho rock picking berries when the
soake appeared, and that she was unable
to move when she looked at it; that she
was not afraid Of it, aud wheu it waved
its head to and fro in her face she felt
like going to sleep.

LOOKING rOR A LOST SIsTER.-An adyer

that Mary FarreI, who left Columbia s. C,

or, her sister, Of No 200 West Forty first
street. Miss Farrell left South Carolina in
1866, intending 10 sail for Europe with Mr..

cd that the ship on which the party was to

Cotton Factory and OH MN, Both.

A Cotton Factory and OIL Nill, Both. z
new impulse Is moving the people Of
Union, from which We believe Cotton Fac
tory will be evolved.
Last week We suggested that the sub
scribers TO the Oil Mill hold up awhile and
take hold Of the Cotton Factory but the
Oil Mill men didn't like the sugges tisn ct
oil, and even went 80 far as to assert thst
our article was indiscreet and would retard,
materially, the progress Of the Mill. while
1t could net advance the prospects. of .
Cotton Factory; for II was out Of the ques-
tion to think that Union could stand two
such enterprises at the same time; and
further, that the Oil Mill enterprise had
progressed to point where It could neither
stand still nor 60 backward. The machin-
cry had been ordered, and some OF it was
on the road; and further still, the mon
having the Mill enterprise in charge, did
not intend to let it stand still, 60 backward,
or be merged into any other project. I
was good thing for the town, county and
stockholders, aud they have determined
that 1t shall 60 forward. All they ask Il
that the Farmers Of the county identify
themselves with 1t, and give it their en-
couragement, by subscribing to its stock,
providing it with all the seed they can
spare from planting, in exchange for meal
for feeding stock or for fertilixing theil
land, or for cash.
They, however, will place no straw in
the way Of a Cotton Factory, but are en-
couraging it in every way possible, and som,
Of the Directors Of the Oil Mill are now
the largest subscribers on tho list for Cot
ton Factory. In fact, the Oil Mill men ar,
now among the prime moving spirits Of tn,
Factory enterprise; 50 that we hav,
reason to hope that our suggestion Of las,
week, instead of doing injury to anything
has made the Oil Mill more solid ant
aroused the factory advocates from tn,
lethargy ints which they had fallen, who
embracing the opportunity presented in tn,
prevailing spirit of enterprise now animal
ing our citizens, are again at work will
renewed hope and determined energy t.
secure subscriptions to the capital stock o
a Cotton Factory here and it is truly graft
flying to learn that they are meeting will
NEST encouraging success. We understand
they already have over half the amsuu
subscribed necessary to commence work.
