mon missionaries from Utah have been
holding services in a school-house near
Fayette City, Pa, and have baptized sew

and which they declined to do. The meet

which clubs, stones and other missiles were
used on the missionaries. They fed for
their lives. but were so closely pursued by
the mob that they implored the protection
of the Justice, who succeeded in calming
the turmoil and conducting them in safety
