THE FIRE YESTERDAY MORNING.

THE FIRE YESTEkDAY MORNING.
Bishop & Carpenter, in to-day's SEN
TINEL, offer a reward of 1866 for the
arrest and conviction of the incendiary
who attempted Oh the night of the
10Th ult. to burn their stable, and who
again yesterday morning fred their
hay in the corral near the Silver Brick
Hotel. There can be but little doubt
but both fires were set by the same
person, and it is equally certain that
the incendiary was actuated by a ma
licious design to destroy the property
OF Messrs. Bishop II Carpenter. 1t is
to be hoped that the cowardly scoun-
drel will be brought to justice and
made to suffer the extreme penalty of
his crime. In our hurried o Of
the fire yesterday morning we unin-
t%entionally exaggerated the amount of
hay consumed. Mr.. Bishop informs
usthat only about tentons were burned,
the rest in the corral being saved by
the exertions OF those who arrived at
an early stage OF the fire; and ne de-
sires US in behalf of himself and Mr..
Carpenter to return their sincere thanks
to all who assisted in saving their
property. The value of the hay con-
suIned was about 800; the damage to
the corral, which belongs to Billy
Nichols, 500; a wagon belonging to
Jake Wadisb, worth probably 800,
was also consumed. Mr.. Durley, who
discovered the fire, informs us that
when he first noticed it it did not ex-
tend over n space larger than an or
| 1inoru u,asIf.fI1h hnf i'm a tnnrnnnf Of
forwards it suddenly flashed up and
Immediately spread over several bales
as though they had been saturated
with kerosene, and about the same
time he heard a person running away
from the rear of the corral. Neither
Mr.. Bishop or Mr.. Carpenter are aware
of having incurred the enmity OF any
person in this community, and they
can not imagine why any person
should desire to injure them by the
destruction of THEN property.
