Tlie stort-hcusc of Mr. IS. H. Murphy, at
Moore's Creek bridge, about seven miles
north of Point Caswell, was burned oa
Friday night last. It was unoccupied at
the time, and hence it is thought that the
fire must have been the work of an incen
diary. The property was insured for $883
with Mr. J. W. Gordon, of this city.
