A MILLERITE MEETING Broken Up. We
informed that on Saturday nigh! last in the North
part of Bucksport, company Of some forty men dis
gused negroes, forciby entered house where
the receivers Of the advent theories OF Mr. Miller
assembled, and proceeded 10 administer oath TO
those present in effect, tina, they would not attend
any more such meetings nor aid in propagating the
doctrine After the oath administered to the
company, one after the other, they hustled out
of the house A search was then made and large
quantity Of provisions found, and open and
posed shelf, forty dollars in money
The money taken for the purpose it is said
of giving it to the Seectmen.
1t is stated that several OF intelligence and
property and some who have been magistrates
were engaged in this effort to 'drive Millesm out of
BucIsport'' They think that in this CASE the end
-justfies the means-the Mierites are SO wrong that
the they put down the better and mat
