Coyernor's order, but before. For length oftime
heCore the Governors order, the Mormons had
been scourged by company Of mobbers, who
were constantly wasting their properly gathering
together and threatening them and their property
with destruction and determination. The mob

to the election, commenced general destruction
of Mormon property, and destroyed, before the
authorities could dispense it,-or, rather, before
they did dispense it, one hundred head of cattle );
and, OF this number, the last COW that some
Atchison, Donaphan and Parks were there the
mob boosted that they lived on Mormon beef and
Mormon corn. The mob amounted to four or
five hundred and you may judge Of the destruc-
ton that must have have been made of the proper

fore come into the country 1t was the cause of
much suffering ard distress among the Mormons.
When the mobbers dispersed Mt Daviess,
they went directly to Carroll county and commenc

UF@We copy the following from the Sher-
brooke, IL. g. Gazette, of the goth of June. 1t
will be noticed that all the individuals implica-
ted are Canadians:
On Monday night last, party of refugees
from Troy, VT joined party from Holland, and
entered the province at Barnslon, armed with
muskets, pistols ard bowie knives. About 3 o.
clock IN the morning, they arrived at the house
of Capt. Burrough, awoke him, and demanded
his arms and omunition-saying they had "done
the business up for Stanstead Plain &c. In
stead of complying with their demands, Capt b.
awake his son and some others of his family,
two or three Of whom seized muskets, sailed out
and found out that the house and barn had been
set on fire. No one could be seen, and they
proceeded to bring water TO put out the fire,
and while doing so were fired upon with III
he. Mrs u. while attempting to give the alarm
by blowing horn at the door, saw the flash Of
a rnusket from behind fence. The fire was
soon eXtinguishnd, and the Williams escaped with
the exception of one, II fellow named SweetZer,
who was taken and is Gnow in our Jail. Two
Bowie knives were picked up after the party fled,
and Springfield muske which Sweetzer ac-
knoWlcdges was in his possession The party
consisted of 10. Among them, Robert S. Orne,
of Sherbrooke; Heman Durgee, Daniel and
James M'Dutlie, of Barnston; - Ramsdell, of
Compton; Sweetzer, Thomas Even, Of Bans
ton, and three or four others-all OF whom fled
from The Province last fall.
The party appeared TO act under the direction
ofOrne and Durgee.
1t will be remembered by most of our readers
that this Durgee known as 'one armed Durgec,'
was arrested about year and half ago,
for an attempt to murder, and committed to Jail
in this town. BY the imprudent advice ofsome
individuals he was afierward permitted to es-
cape from JUSTICE and has ever since been a ring
leader in all kinds OF inIquity. He first fed into
the Province for horse stealing, and out of it for
countorfeitng and treason, and now bids fair to
become Colonel or General among sympaihi
zers on the frontier. Capt Burroughs acted II
conspicuous part in Durgee's arrest; and has be-
sides, been active i'll. the support of Government,
and on this account is particularly obnoxious to
The refugees.
