this subject they glided into that of the

The election of Senator showed this con.

THE FIRE F1eND-"Jehn Browns
soul is marching on" On Sunday, the
lst OF December, j. J. Dickson, Esq, Il
respectable, industrious citizen of this
County. residing near Motifs Bridge, in
Salem, left home for about half hour,
and though absent for 30 short time,
found his barn and stable on fire, upon
his return. Both we're entirely destroyed,
together with 200 bushels of corn, one
stack of fodder, his buggy, plows, plow-
stocks, lot OF lime and fertilizers, and
many other articles of value. His
dwelling-house had likewise been broken
open, and one OF his beds ripped to
pieces. His loss was about $500. upon
which there was no insurance. Or course
there was not the slightest doubt that the
hre was an inoendiary one, as the break
ing into his house seemed designed for
the purpose of leaving no doubt upon
his mind Oh that score. -Sunster Me;:s.
