they were set upon by gang and beaten
with sticks and biilies. They made some
show Of resistance, but the crowd being
too many for them they concluded that
discretion was the better part of valor
and beat a hasty retreat. They were un-
able to recognize any Of their assailants
and are at a loss to know why they were
set upon as they had given no offense so
far as they knew to anyone in that neigh

TO be at their work yesterday. though still
sore from the effects of the drubbing they

500 bushels corn quantity of hay and six
horses, some hogs. cows and farming i'm

the exception Of one of the horses, which
was taken out in a badly burned condi-

man who is spending some time with Mr..
Brinson, also lost several fine hunting
dogs, which were housed in the barn. Mr..
Brinsons loss Is about 5000. He has
insurance of 800 in the Greenwich Insur-

There seems to be but little doubt but
that the burning was that of an incen-

the premises, indicating some one run
ming from the fire. Dogs have been put
on the trail, but so far nothing has been
accomplished with them.
