THAMES, March 17. Early this morning the Shortland Hotel, an old building owned by Campbell, Ehrenfried and Co., was found to be on fire. When the brigade arrived the whole top storey was afire, but splendid work by the brigade saved the lower half, where little damage was done. The insurances on the building were £600 in the Phoenix office, on the furnituro £300, on the stock £100, and on the personal effects £50 in the Imperial office. The present licensee is John ,¥ankovitch.
