FARM HOUSE BURNED.

John Robinson, a tenant on the Dr. Besser farm near Sharon, lost all his household goods that were in the upstairs rooms • yesterday morning by fire which totally destroyed the farmhouse. The fire occurred at about 6 o’clock, and is supposed to have started from a defective flue. Mr. Robinson had gone out to the barn to feed his stock, and on returning saw that the whole roof of the house was on fire. Practically all the household goods on the first floor were saved, but those upstairs were lost. He had no insurance. The house was a fairly good one and it Was totally consumed by the flames. Dr. Besser of Remington owns the farm and it is understood that he carried insurance on the buildings.
