Great indignation was felt here among the fishers by the letter of the Balclutha Witness correspondent. Mr C. Arthur- had the misfortune to have his hut destroyed by. fire on the Ist. All his fishing gear tools, etc. were burnt. He estimated his loss at L3O. A.strong westerly | gale was blowing- at the time, and they justmanaged to save the house. Part of the dairy was , also burnt. The " place was uninsured. ■ ; ■ - . - ■ We are not so honest down here now as we used to be. One old veteran had the misfortune to lose 1£ cwt of early potatoes the other night. This is not the first time this sort of thing has happened. He says' if they had come and asked him he would have given them some rather than see them starve. The prepetrators are well known so they had better look out or the man on the bay horse with white pants will be seen about. Our worthy member Mr T. Mackenzie addressed his constituents at Port Molyneux on Saturday night. He was well received and a vote of thanks and confidence was carried unanimously.
