An Inoffensive Citizen Driven From His House, Which is Then Burned

Waynesburg, Jan 4. - A few nights ago a house belonging to David Kennedy, two miles from Mt. Morris, was burned to the ground by incendiaries. Mr. Kennedy had removed from the house only a few days before he burning.

He is a quiet, inoffensive citizen, and has been in poor health for a number of years. For some time past evil-disposed persons in the neighborhood had annoyed him by malicious acts, so that to avoid their annoyance he moved out of the neighborhood. The burning of his house is believed to be another act of these malicious persons.  - Contributed by Michelle Kennedy Byrd
