La Grange Burnt

Navarro Express [Corsicana, TX], November 2, 1860

We learn from a gentleman from Waco, that the way bill brought by the stage driver just previous to his departure, stated that one side of the square of La Grange had been burnt.

We learn that two barns in Rusk county, one in Tarrant county and a store at Troy, on the Trinity, in Freestone county, have all been burnt, and all set of fire. We presume it is the same with la Grange. What has become of our night patrol? We think it is the duty of our County Court to take the matter in hand, appoint a patrol for town and country, and compel each man to fulfill his duty. Corsicana may be burnt next.
