UNFORTUNATE AccIDENT.-We regret to
learn, that on Saturday night, the 10Th ult.,
=. G Davidson, ESQ.,, of this county, bad his
dwelling house. furniture, library, clothes
and some sixty dollars in money entirely con-
sumed. He was in Charlotte on that day
and when be reached home about IL o'clock,
ne found everything in ashes. The negroes
were at home, but they could tell nothing
about how the FIRE originated. As there was
no necessity for fire in the house, it is sup
posed to have been the work of an incendia.
