ALMOST A BURNJOUT.

Early last evening fire got started in an upper closet filled with summer cNothing in M. F. Chil cote’s fine residence, and had made such headway when discovered that only the greatest efforts of the family, and nearly 100, neighbors succeeded in extinguishing it. A large amount of clothing was destroyed and considerable damage inflicted upon the house.
