They worked braveIy. and had 'all but about twenty acres broken, when on tue night of the l7th inst, dre was set to the stable and dwelling house. and they, with their contents, consisting of household furniture. seed corn borse and mule tthe only animals possessed by ,hern) were destroyed The build. ings were constructed of very eombns,ible ma- terial, and burned up quickly. Mir Wright who was alone in the house, was awakened from his sleep by the barking of bis dog. and bad barely sufficient time to elolhe himself, grasp bis wea. | pons and escape =ilh his life from the flames that surrounded him. His first thought was to i go 10 the stable, which was already almost en- tirely consumed. Seeing tha, bis animals were dead, and thinking tha, the cruel work bad been done ky Indians. who nigh. still be in tbe vicin- | fly. he went b the house of a nsighbor, and stayed there the remainder Of the night. Early next morning, he and one or two others went 10 tbe ruins. looked in every direction, but could not discover any tracks, from which It Is pre- i snmed, by some. ihai the fire was not ihe work Of tho Apaches. We think differently. There were plenty of them in that vicinity q, the time, and there Is scarcely any other way in which to aceoun, for the starting of the fire They. DO doubt, tried to get the animals out Of the stable, but being discovered by the dog, before accom- | plishing their purpose. they fired the buildings and lefs. Ar. Wright and partner being poor men, the loss of tbeir team, grain, etc. has fai- len heavily upon them. but by the kindness Of neigbbors, aud others, they have been enabled .o proenre 2 team and seed. and have started work again. Hope they may be blessed with | good crop, and sufer no more joss at ibe hands of the red devils that lark in the vicinity. | PROBATE C0vET.--The new Probate Judge, Henry W.
