Incendiarism.

--On Sunday night last the smoke house and carriage house of Mr. John Redford, keeper of Oakwood Cemetery, was set on fire and entirely consumed. The flames at one time threatened the private residence, but by great exertion this building was saved. Mr. Redford's loss will not exceed $500. There seems to be no doubt that the fire was created to enable the incendiaries to steal and plunder during the excitement.
