•*> Mr A. A. Downs, of Cheviot, suffered the loss of his property in addition to a good amount of money in notes, by a fire which took place at his section on Saturday last. Everything being so dry the fire could not be put out. Mr Downs has been very unfortunate, this being the second fire during his residence at Cheviot. On both occasions he lost all his goods and money. (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) NAPIER. January 14.
