bushels of wheat and 500 bushels of oats, was

was the work of an incendiary is evident from
the fact that the stacks were AL burning at the

communicated to them simultaneously. Sus-
picion fell upon two brothers, Samuel and Ed.

been employed on the farm of Mr.. Richard

DECEASED. This week we record the death
of an old citizen-Mr Dady. He was a resi-
dent of this town for about twenty years was
remarkably industrious and frugal, dividing
his time between his shoe bench and his gar
den, (being very successful horticulturalist, J
and by honest labor in an humble way acquired
little property that was the care Of his de-
clining years. Few men take life more evenly
than Mr.. ID. did. He was at the head OF the
little society of Old School Baptists of this
town and was an earnest member. He claim
ed the ability to foretell the state of the wealth
er, and invariably predicted the number of
snow storms that would fall each winter: but
we believe his predictions were rarely verified;
Though excentric in his views, no man could
be possessed of a truer honesty Of purpose.
He was born in Chester CO., Pa.
