of fire was given. 1t was soon discovered to be
in a negro cabin belonging to Mr.. George Steele

assisted by many citizens of the town, the flames
were speedily arrested. Mr.. Steele is of opin-
ion that this is the work of an incendiary; as
no one was sleeping in the cabin, and as it ap-
peared to have been set on fire in one corner,
at some distance from the Fireplace.

designers and painters. 1t is very creditable to
their taste and skill.
Two flags are now floating from the "sheer-
mast" of the new Presbyterian church, in process
of building. One is a small, but very beauti
fully designed standard, executed by Master
