We learn that several spirit demijohns which were known to have been safely removed from the premises of Messrs Dungan and O’Brien during the late fire, have not up to the present time been accounted for to the owners. In giving this publicity we do so*in the hope that their restitution may have been overlooked during the excitement, and that it will be found they are in the safe custody of some friend whose attention will be drawn thereto by this paragraph. The monthly inspection of the local Rifle Volunteers will be held at the Adelphi Hall to-morrow evening, and, in accordance with an order issued by the Officer Commanding the District, fines will be strictly enforced for non-attend-ance.
