Description
Fire at Hampton.—We learn from the Parkville Courier of the 26th ult. (July 26), that the store-house of Col. Fielding Burnes, at Hampton, Platte County; together with a stock of goods but partially opened, was entirely destroyed by fire, Saturday night week.
Mr. Burnes was away from home at the time, and but for the timely warning of Mr. Jesse Miller, a near neighbor, we are told, a man who slept in the store, and some negroes who occupied an adjoining room, might have been consumed also. The loss we understand will be about $4,000 and it is said without insurance.Date(s) of Creation
