Fire at Patagonia.

From a gentleman who was at Patagonia yesterday, returned last night, THE OAtI, has learned that the town was visited by a serious. conaagration yesterday that des. troyed completely the dwelling of Mir. Val Valenzuela and all its contents. The cause of the fire the informant did not learn. At the time of the outbreak all the family were absent except two of Mr. Valenzuela's daughters; and as the house is quite distance aside from the rest of the town the flames had enveloped the structure entirely before any help arrived on the scene and it was impossible to do anything to stay the flames or to enter the building to save the contents or any portion thereof As the building was of lumber and very dry it went quickly. Nothing was saved.
