destroyed The new one was, however, erect,
ed by the same proprietor, and occupied by he
same class Of teIanIs.-I The excitement raised
by their conduct became sn high, that Gown
meeting was called 10 alay the fermenl; at
which resolutions were passed declaring that
the Seectmen had power TO abate the nuisance.
Those who were determined to remove it, how

the building withdrew and left il un,enanted,
and Oh that evening number Of persons as
sembled and proceeded 10 the work Of destruc.
