The home of Mr.. Josh Parham,
located in the Twenty-fourth dis
trict, near Esq. Geo. Peery, was
burned to the ground on Thurs
day afternoon Of last week. Nearly
all the contents were lost, as only
a portion Of the things in one
Of the front rooms were
saved. When discovered the fire
had gained considerable Roadway,
which prevented the saving Of the
contents. The fire is supposed to
have started from a defective hue.
Mr.. Parham carried 81 900 insur-
ance on the building and contents,
but this does not near cover his
loss.
