THE HosrMAsysm AT Sunny DAI.e Er-

The geosThAsTiR AT SUNNY DALE Ex-
PLAINS. Mr.. z. O. Aiken, the Postmas-
ter at Sunny Dale writes us concerning
the alleged llon-delivery of Mr.. Dryman's
paper, that "every paper has been de-
iiyered to the mail carIier, according to
ms directions, and that it is not his fault
that MIR. Dry.nan has not received them.
Please look ul Mr.. Dryman's letter and
think you viii find the mistake in the
printer instead of the postmaster. Mr..
Dryman says he has never written any
such letter as is stated by you; that he
has missed one or two copies," 60. By
the same mail we received letter from
MIR. Dryman, saying that three weeks in
last month he got no paper, and since he
wrote has received the paper regularly,
and that we must have been mistaken
about his not receiving single paper,
60. The words of the letter complain
ing of the non-delivery of his paper, after
referring to the fact of his subscribing
for it, are as follows. 'NIy paper has
failed coming it seems, which I would
like to receive from you-send it on"
From this we inferred, very naturally
that he had not received ga single CODY"
MIR. Dryman's last letter explains what
he intended to write in the first. We are
satisfied that Mr.. Aiken is not to blame
for the non-delivery of Mr.. Dryman's
paper, and take pleasure in exoneratine
him. 1t was not our intention to reflect
upon MIR. Aiken-we only wanted an
explanation from him. We have it and
we are satisfied, and trust Mr.. Dryman
may receive his paper regularly in the
future.
The WORK OF AN INoEND1ARy.-Onla las.
Friday about 5 o'clock A. NJ, the -four
ing and grist mill and cotton gin of Mr..
w. A. Lesley and sons, situated on Wolf
creek, one mile from this place were to-
tally destroyed by fire. Mr.. A. S. Les
ley, one of the partners and the miller,
went to the mill about five o'clock A. M.
for the purpose of grinding some corn.
AS he poured q half bushel of corn into
the hopper, he discovered light in the
gin house, which is detached from the
mill building, and going to window he
discovered that the gin house was on fire.
He at once gave the alarm, but it was too
late, and, both houses and contents were
soon in smouldering embers. No one
had been in the gin house that night,
and hetheoryi is, thatthe incendiary wait
ed until Mr.. Lesley went into the mill
house and then applied the match, in Or
der that the impression might be created
that Mr.. Lesley himself might have acoi
IDENTIFY set the gin on fire. The loss in
mill and gin, 8 bales of cotton,
cotton seed, and about $50 bushels of
wheat is estimated at 49, 800. There was
no insurance, and the loss falls very heavy
upon Mr.. Lesley and SONS. We trust
the guilty party may be found AMI pun
