A "penn house on the farm of Mr.,
]. Ross Lintner near La Plata was de-
stroyed by fire on Saturday with its
contents consisting of shucks fodder etc,
valued at about fifty dollars belonging
to JEFF Gray a colored tenant. The
fire was started by little child who
went into the fodder house looking for
eggs and ii being dark therein she
struck match which caused the de-
structian. But for the emery tic action
of neig hbors corn house not thirty feet
away containing sixty barrels of corn
would also have been burned. The
loss falls heavily on verg worthy aud
respectable eo'ored man. An after
feature OF the fire. aud in our opinion
much worse, was the brutal beating
which it is said was inflicted by the
mother upon the little child scarcely
more than an infaut. who doubtless in
her childish way was actuated by the
best If motives 10 trying to get eggs
for her mother aud was too young
to realize the danger of lighting
matches where there was so much
combustible material.
