Incendiarism — destruction of property. --On Saturday morning last, about 2 o'clock, the barn and stable of Mr. Robt. H. Style, at Marion Hill, in Henrico county, was set on fire and burned to the ground, with most of their contents. The incendiaries, it seems, first visited Mr. S.'s corn house, which they forcibly entered rses and mules, all of which were entirely consumed, with the exception of two horses and one mule. The corn-house, with a small quantity corn, were saved. Mr. Style says that his residence is within two hundred yards of battery No. 2, and that the guard at the battery knew nothing of the fire till he sent them word. If this his hen- house was entered, and all his poultry taken. On Monday night last his cattle pen was robbed of a fine fatted beef. And now his corn-house has been robbed; the grain hauled off in a cart, and his barn and stable, with their contents, burned. Mr. Style's loss is estimated at $15,000, upon which there was no insurance.
