by the people of North Wolcott, on
Monday evening, May Ist, when the
residence of ]. w. Watt, Seventh-day
Advent minister, was confronted by a
bowling mob, which was only dispersed
by the arrival of the Sheriff.
This manifestation of Christian feeling
was not altogether unexpected; in fact,
1t was only a grand accompaniment to
the stream of communication, which is
pouring in upon the General Conference,
detrimental to the character of members
of his family.
The names of the perpetrators of this
coward1Y performance can be obtained
from the Sheriff, w. w. Spaulding. AL
though nearly Frustrated Bro. Watt was
forced to pack and leave town next day,
and not person in the village gave
him the hand "shake" or babe him
good bye" On the other hand, the
family was subjected to insult as they
left the place.
