FIRES.
AT OPUNAKE. A Are occurred at Opunake about 3 a.m. on Saturday morning as a result of which a building occupied by Mr. D. Duncan and owned by Mr. B. Johnson was totally destroyed. The inmates had a very narrow escape. Mr. Duncan wan awakened by the smoke and hurriedly aroused his sister, both barely having time to escape in the their night attire*. The building was insured for £2OO in the Northern Office, whilst Mr. Duncan had his furniture insured for £ 100 in the Australian Alliance. The latter, however, is a heavy loser, as he estimates his loss at £2OO over insurance.
