-Wm Dickson, colorcl, had
the misfortune OF having his house
on Picketts Ltnr, burned to the
ground last Saturday night. A
little Of his furniture was saved but
in a damaged condition. The fire,
It seems, originaied about the
kitchen. aud the Old darkey thinks
Ii was tlonc lly I'D incenIiary. The
fire company went TO the relief as
soon rs possible, bnt were not able
to accomplish any good except 10
protect adjacent buildings, which
they did successfully. The old
man iccls his loss very scnSibly
and has hren soliciting and obtain

aud gave him u good, substantial
shaking up az a waruing against
any more such attempts 10 spite OF
his protest lhath he had been misun-
derstood.

nation TO use his best eRdeavors to
build MP at this place a large
school, aud seems to be receiving
Considerable encouragement from
