A letter from Litllestown to the Gettys.
burg Compiler, Of Thursday last, says The
bank barn of Mr.. John Rider, in Germany
township, about two miles northwest Of Lit
tlestown, with the crop of hay, about three
hundred bushels Of oats, sixty bushels of
wheat, also reaper, horse gears, &c, was de.
stroyed by fire on Sunday afternoon, about %
o'clock. The horses and cattle were all
saved with the exception Of three year old
colt. Mr.. Edward Rider, who resides on the
firm, had left the house in company with his
wife and part OF his family only half an hour
before the FIRE, to visit his father, at White
Hall, and the house was left in charge Of his
hired girl and several small children, who dis.
covered the fire breaking out Of the roof.
The girl Immediately ran to the barn and let
the horses all out OF the stable with the ex-
eeption Of the colt, which was in another sta.
BILE, and the heat becoming too intense she
had TO give it up. The house, which is not
over thirty yards from the barn, was on fire
several times, but was extinguished by the
neighbors before much damage resulted. The
loss Of Mr.. John Rider on his barn and crops
will be about 81 900, which is fully secured in
the Littlestown Fire Insurance Co. The loss
Of Mr. Edward Rider will be about $500, on
his stock and grain, which is covered in the
Mnmmasburg Company.
The large bank barn of Mrs. David Boyer,
about two miles east of Liltestown, on the
Hanover road, aud occupied by Mr.. Wash.
ington King was discovered on FIRE Tuesday
morning, about % o'clock, and burnt to the
ground. All the hay, about / 900 bushels
OF wheat, four or FIVE hundred bushels of oats,
and for Mr.. King two very valuable mules
and one horse, his thresher winnowing mill
and a lot Of other valuable farming utensils.
were burnt Mrs. Boyer's loss will be about
$4,000, on which there is policy in the Lit.
ilesiown Insurance Company of Sl,2O0.
Mr.. Washington King has policy in the
same company on his crops of $500; his loss
will be from 81, 500 to $1,000. The house
was saved only by the wind blowing in an OPP
posite direction.
The cause Of both fires was incendiary, as
well also Of Mr.. NJ. Groves, which was de
stroyed a few months ago, and the misereant
who did the deed, il ever found out, should
be sent to prison for life Our community il
very much excited over this state of affairs,
and the Insurance Company will no doubt
offer heavy reward for the detection of the
person or persons who committed the deed
Had he been found at the time, no doubt
Judge Lynch would have taken him in
hand.
Mr.. Martin Grove, of Union township
whose barn was destroyed by fire a few months
ago, will have another in place Of it in q
short time, with all the modern improvements
The property of Mr.. John Coshun, in Lit.
tlestown, on York ST., was sold on Saturday
last, at Assignees Sale, to Mr.. j. II. Millel
for 81 300.
