FROM THE FRONTIER.
The following is an extract from private
letter dated
Alburgh, March 90, 1889.
Captain Porter's company Of reg
niars are ordered from this post to Rouse's
Point and leave tomorrow morning the COM
pany stationed at Troy are also Withdrawn, to
Join the head quarters Of the regiment al Plalis-
burgh.
The excitement at Rouse's Point is very
great, in consequence of the burDngs which
have been kept up for nearly two weeks
Quite number Of the families are moving out
of the place, or rather the female part of them.
You can form little idea of the alarm and con-
fusion which prevail there as soon as night
falls.
Every man in the place is on duty, and fifty
mounted Dragons are stationed on the lines !;
yet with all this precaution, they have fires all
around them. Several fires have occurred
within sight of the guard, and while they were
extinguishing one, another has broken out in
another direction"
Later Still. BY letter from Alburgh, da-
ted Monday last, on which implicit reliance
may be placed we learn that the barns belong
ing to Mr.. Convey, an enterprising farmer in
Alburgh, were burned by gang of loyal
volunteers" on the Saturday night previous.
Six or eight head Of cattle, two horses, and
about ten tons Of hay were also destroyed
Our correspondent adds that scarcely night
had passed for three weeks, without the heav-
ems being illuminated by the light from some
incendiary fire in that vicinity.
From the ST. Adams Messenger of March 80.
Fires on the Frontiers. Fires on our front
Ter seem 10 increase in fearful ratio. For the
last two weeks there have been one or more
fires almost every hight Apparently they are
alternately each side Of the line. Retaliation
appears to be the order of The night We are
not able TO state the extent of the burning, but
presume from the number Of fires seen from
this place, and what we have heard, that quite
a number of buildings have been burned, the
greater part OF them barns, and the most OF
them situated in Champlain and Odletown.--
In the latter place we are informed that large
house was burned on Friday night last, and on
The Friday night previous two barns belong

in Albprgh. were destroyed. We hope 10 be
able to give further particulars next week.
