FIRE IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA —ln January
last a destructive fire occurred at Adelaide, South Aus-
tralia, which reduced to ashes the Land.offiee, the private
residence `and other buildings belonging to Mr. J. H.
Fisher, the late Colonial Commissioner; the Survey-office,
and the residence of Colonel LiglA, the late Surveyor-
General. The tire commenced at Mr. Fisher's, in the
atterroon of 22d January. and the roofs being composed
entirely of thatch, the whole were soon in one mass of
flame, although the alarm was given without delay. The
conflagration was very rapid, and the loss of property con-
siderable, hut fortunately few valuable papers were de-
stroyed. The original map of the preliminary sections,
and of the town, was saved from the Land-office, although
partly damaged.
