In preaching to ono of the con
gregations Sunday, ono of tho elders
told his sympathizers that this conn
try belonged to them; that they
were preparing to take It by force if
necessary, aud would have il if thoy
had to take blood out of every man
in the country, aud that the church
was preparing an tinny for that pur

The Haines woro llrst discovered
in the resilience of Kngineer Dilley,
which was a frame bulldli.g, and
before assistance arrived the sparks
hatl attacked tho neighboring
