famous as the place where Washington wOr-
shipped, turned the furniture upside down, de-
stroyed all the music, saturated the cloth cush-

silver plate from Washington's pew, besides
committing many other depredations 1t was
undoubtedly the intention of the party to set
fire to the ancient edifice, but the sexton fortu-
nately had occasion to enter the church, and
seeing what was done FASTENED to inform one
of the vestry-men. Returning, ore of the
doors was found open, which leads to the belief
that the scoundrel Yves secreted in the building
when the sexton first entered and in his alb
sence made good his escape.
