damage
We also learn that the house of Mr..
Mott, at Alburgh, was burned to the
ground last night-whe,her by the same
gang of villains, or by British subjects
from the Canada side, is not vet known.
An express arrived at this post last eve

Col. Plerse went on to the scene this
( morning.
Is it not high time that some decisive
measures were adopted to prevent these
outrages marauding excursions from the
| Vermont frontier?
We give another account of this out
rage, from the Montreal Gazette 1t will
be seen that the two accounts do not vary
essentially, except in one particular. The
Gazette says that the perpetrators were
American citizens the Pattsburgh paper
that they were Canadian refugees. Both
statements appear to be mere assumption.
The Gazette expressl y says that only one
OF the villains was recognized.

Saturday last, another most lawiess and
atrocious incursion from Alburgh, Yer
mont, was made by about twenty citizens
of the United States, on the peaceful in
habitants Of our frontier, on Caldwell's
Manor. 1t appears that on the night in
question, or rather about o'clock on
Sunday morning, the marauders, being
