FARMHOUSE BURNED IN GILLAM.

The dwelling on the Mrs. Albert Parker farm in Gillam township was totally destroyed by fire last Saturday afternoon, Luther Watson, who occupied the farm losing all his household goods and sls in cash. Mr. Watson had come to Rensselaer and the fire was discovered some time after his departure, but was too far ad* vancea to save anything. There was S3OO insurance on the building, which was old, but Mr. Watson had no insurance on the contents. He is a poor man with a family of three children and the loss is a severe one to him. Friends are circulating a subscription paper to help him get a start again.
