Farmers-InB0Ient Demands Of

their requests for provisions are denied

yards and cellars are unfortunately
plundered. Valuable cows are killed and
their hides left where they were slaugh.
tered. ltinerant peddlers are plundered
Of their packs. Potatoe fields are in.
yaded and their produce carried of.
