OCT. 3.—About the hour of three
o'clock on the morning of Saturday last, a body
of armed men, about twenty in number, came to
the farM-hoitse of Mr. Grace,. upon the hunts of
New Orchard, -within one mile of this city,' and
obliging the steward residing there to open the
door, they &Mantled his fire-arms : he denied
having any, when one of the party produced a
book, and was about to swear him as to the fact;
Nvhiell terrified the man so much that he delivered
to them a small fowling piece, the only arms in
his possession. They desired him not to be alarm-
ed—they did not intend doing Mr. G. whom they
beard was .an honest man, and d good neighbour,
any injury, and that they would retarn the gun in
a short time—that they only %r anted it to.aerve
him and- his neighbours. They were partienlarly
anxious to procure powder, but he had none, and
to this fact they actually did swear him.
During the same night, arid probably by the
same party, the house on ,Mr. 11.1‘Keon's farm was
broken open, and arms demanded, but there were
none there.---They made the steward swear that
he knew of none concealed either within or without
the house. They text proceeded to a house on the
lairds ia.sealeb of x horse that had been canted
at the Parade under a distress warrant. They broke
into the out-house, but not finding the horse, swore
the purchaser to return him to his original owner.
;Proceeding northerly,-about 3 miles further, they
broke into another houk, and robbed the owner of
a Musket and blunderbuss. Thence taking a westerly
direction, they drew a rideau round the northern
liberties, arid broke open a smith's forge near
Jenkinstown, for fire to light their pipes, and
approaching the western side of the city, were
seen last near the Triangle. This body consisted
of 17 decently dressed men, some of them had
cross-belts, and,All were armed with muskets and
fixed bayonets, except the leader, who ea-Tried a
blunderbuss
_of exquisite workmanship Their
deportment throughout the whole eXcnrsion is
said to have been remarkably civil, and in some
instances the leader commanded order, lest the
sleeping ehildren in the houses in which they en-
tered should be disturbed.. They took no provi-
sions, nor required ally money, but invited the
terrified people, whose houses they entered, to.
compose their spirits, by taking a draught of
Whisky with them, of which they had plenty ! I

The County of Waterford remains free from
outrage; hat we arc sorry to say, that private in-
formation, derived from the most respectable
source—a source which can scarcely admit error,
and which is incapable of misrepresentation-,-ex-
. hihits the County as in a state that requires the
immediate and unremitting attention of every
friend of t;oodC order, of every man that thinks the
blessings of society worth the trouble of vigilance.
We are neither free, nor very willing to publish
particulars, but we should think it unfair to sup-
press the alarming truth, that the insidious system
of swearing the. peasantry to a reduction of tithes
has so far gained ground as at present to include,
very nearly, perhaps fully, the entire of the
County' of Waterford. It affords some satisfaction
to know, that, at least in these near parts 'of the
County, it has been chiefly through the agency
of strange emissaries that the syStein has beencar-
ried into execution, l'lnee strangers, apparently
of the lower class of farmers, have been,-it is as-
certained, very active in disseminating this, venom
through the CoOnty.-L-(iraterford Mirror.).

The cause of this unhappy act is, uniinown,
