mining the witnesses present at the
time of the alteration with Lee, the
jury found that the said Charles King

INcENDIARY FRE.-We regret to an
nounce that the store of Mr.. Daniel r.
Howell, at Gadsden, on the South Caro-
lima Railroad, was entirely destroyed by
an incendiary fire, yesterday morning,
about o'clock. Mr.. Howell and his
clerks occupied room in rear of the
store. and barely escaped with their
lives. The loss is estimated at 81, 900,
upon which there is an insurance of
only $1,000. The building was owned
by Mr.. Howell. We cordially sympa-
thize with the proprietor in his serious
loss; but as lie is a young and enter
prisipg man. he will, doubtless. soon
arise, Ph@nix-like, and be prepared to
accommodate his numerous customers.
