Messrs Tonka and Co. have sold the old Masonic Hotel in Princes-street for the sum of £20. This hostelry may be looked upon as an old landmark, and within its walls there has been many a scene of festivity. The building is to be at once pulled down to make way for a new building. Four hay stacks belonging to Mr Bryant, of Hast Tamalci, were destroyed by lire :m Friday morning last. The lire started at the top of one of the stacks, and soon destroyed the others. Mr Bryant's sons were shooting at hawks a short time previously, and it is thought that a lighted wad dropped on the stack and ignited it. The property was uninsured, and the loss is estimated at £150.
