on Monday of last week fire was discovered
in the main dwelling of the Manning proper
ty, on the East side of the Shenandoah river,
in this county, owned by Mr.. Maltby, (the
owner of the Maltby House, in Baltimore
and extensive iron interests in different parts
of the country.) and occupied by Mr.. Geo.
W. Bryant, the superintendent of the iron
ing was destroyed in short time. The FIRE,
as we'll as we are able to learn, originated
from some accidental cause in q room occu-
pied by Rev. Dir. Way, preacher in charge
of Shannondale Circuit, NJ. f. Church
South, aud had made so much Roadway that
he lost everything he possessed-including
a sum of money which he had saved to bear
his expenses to CONFERENCE.-THE the clothes
on his back. By the aid of neighbors, Mr.
Bryant succeeded in saving the most of his
personal effects, and nearly all of the win
dows and doors, frames, &c., but was SO un-
fortunate as to lose over two hundred dollars
in money, which in the excitement of the
moment he neglected to secure. No insur>
ance, we understand.
