Destruction Of Property The barn of Mrs.
Margaret Roger, widow Of the late Jehu
Roger, residing about q miles from this city,
near the Plank Road, was entirely destroyed
BY fire on Monday evening last The family
had been to the funeral Of Mrs. Cassell, and
returned homo about Eve o'clock, and in n
very short time one Of Mrs. Rogers daugh-
tiers discovered that the barn was on Ere. On
going TO the barn 1t was found that the fire had
originated in the hay NOV. The horses aud
cattle In the stable were released by Mrs.
Roger and her son, and every effort was made
to stay the destruction, but the work had been
too well done, and in a short time what was
one OF the largest and best barns in the county
was smouldering heap Of ruins. The barn
was l Is feet in length by a5 in breadth. Mrs
Royer's loss is over $1,000. The barn was
Insured in the Montgomery County Mutual
Insurance Company for 5000, and the agent,
Mr.. Thomas +. Shepherd, has made arrange.
ments to settle the same Mt once. The barn
contained 500 bushels Of wheat, 200 bushels
Of oats, So tons Of hay, besides all the farm
ing implements, &c., new reaper and mower
and . large quantity ofcloverseed. The wag
on shed, containing the large farm wagons,
and other small buildings were also destroyed
The building was set on fire, il is supposed,
by colored girl named Julia King, who was
in the employ Of the family. The ueighbors
were very kind in rendering assistance, and
even before the FIRE was extinguishod offers
were received to do the necessary hauling of
timber, lime, stone and brick for the pur-
poses Of rebuilding, and as Mrs. Roger lost
all her hay and provender, a neighbor sent
her load Of straw, and others have been
equally kind. No action has been taken in
regard to the arrest Of the girl Julia, as yet,
though she win be shortly, as the circum
stances strongly point to her as the guilty
party. The FIRE attracted large number Of
persons from this city to it, and the light
from it was seen at great distance.

to his brother, Mr.. Charles Horner, after an
absence of nine years. Mr.. Horner is engaged
in mining, in the gold mines near Elizabeth
Town, in New Mexico, where he has been
operating for the last six years. During the
winter season the business OF mining is neces.
sarily suspended in that region, on account Of
the freezing Of the water, so necessary in
washing the ore. Some Of the miners then
go into winter quarters, while others organize
hunting excursions and go on three months
expedition across the plains, camping in con.
yenient localities, and trusting to the rife for
subsistence. This kind Of life has its charms
for many, and is full of adventure and excite
ment for the young, who cast off, for the time
being, the ties Of home and kindred, and
commit themselves to fortune, far beyond the
bounds of civilization in the wilds and soil.
