Correspondence Of the Albany Argus.
ADAMS, JEFFERSON Co., Feb. 10, Is3

ADAMS, JEFFERSON Co., Feb. 10, 1888.
The State arsenal at Watertown broken open last
evening, and some 500 mnskets taken Fairbanks
who is the keeper has offered reward of $3.50 for the
recovery of them.
There begins to be some excitement here upon the
subject Of Canada Many loads Of meat and provisions
have been and are now passing here for the north.
Some Of them have called at the different stores for
powder and have bought all that for sale by the
keg. Whether il will amount to anything or not, we
cannot determine.
1.-THE report is that there is considerable force on
the frontier jefferson county and that descent upon
Canada at some point is contemplated. We doubt It,
however,
letter from Hamilton dated 18th February, in the
Rochester Democrat, states that there was riot at
Toronto the 9th which four were killed and several
wounded.
