ton Your readers to be on their guard
against fire and robbery. We had pre-
ciseiy the same scheme played on us
this morning as old Afr. John Forbs
had when he was robbed about year
or so ago. They set fire to our woods and
fence about TWO or three hundred yards
from the house. but we accidentally
saw 1t before it got n hcndwny. We also
saw the man run away, and found his

to start With.
