Capt. GEORGE EYSTER:

BEDFORD, PA.,

June 8, 1863.

The Napier Township enroller had his barn burned last night. On consultation with Messrs. Cessna, King, Russell, and Washabaugh, it was considered best to send 100 men to enforce the law if further demonstrations are made. Be ready and I will telegraph.

D. A. WERTZ.
