Hamiiton, in Brady township, Clearfield county, was totally destroyed by fire last Friday afternoon. The flames originated in the boiler room where a quantity of fine dust, which had accumulated above the farnace, exploded. The mill was a total loss, but the lumber plies were saved. The owner places his loss at $4,000. The mill was built in 1580, and had a capacity of from 25000 to 30,000 feet of lamber per day. It was oper ated by a band saw and was a well farnished mill.
