FIRE AT KAKARAMEA.
O At 10 o’clock, last night, a fire broke out at Kakaramea, in the house of Mr John Armstrong, which was totally destroyed. It appears that Mrs Armstrong was absent at her father’s place in the evening, her husband remaining at home. He lighted the fire and prepared some tea, and, after seeing that all appeared safe, went away. The building, which was insured in the National, was burnt to the ground. The police have made enquiries, and have come to the conclusion that the fire was quite accidental. The Armstrongs are heavy sufferers, having lost everything. AMr Tapp, who also lived in the house, lost £l7 in notes and two half-sovereigns. A gold watch and chain and a new saddle, both the property, of Mr Armstrong, were desti|pyed.
