been driven from their homes at the dead
hour of the night and exposed, without
sustenance or covering, to the inclemen-
cles Of the weather, whilst the incendiary
torch has devoted their habitations to the
devouring element. The latest inforna-
ton does not authorize the belief. that
these crimes and disorders will cease. nm
