DESTRUCTIVE FlRF.-The house and con-
tents Of Mr.. Cosbill. who resides in Ches-
ter6eld county, were totally destroyed by
fire on Friday last. Mr.. Cogbill, who is an
invalid, in cndeavoring TO save some of his
articles, fell from. the second-<tory window
to the ground, considerable distance, and
sustained such internal Injuries that his life
is despaired of. His daughter, who was
quite i'll, was barely moved in time to escape
q horrid death, so rapid was the progress OF
the flames. His loss is very heavy, coming
as it does upon one totally unable physically
to cope with such q disaster.
