AS Il result of the two big fires We'd

sustained a small loss. Public Printer
Davis Bottom had on Tuesday afternoon
sent TO the express office 10000 interrosa-
tories, to be shipped to the various cons
missoners of revenue in the State, and
all these were consumed. as none of them
had got out OF the Office. The delay and
trouble of reprinting will amount to more
than the cost. though the latter is not
inconsderabe,
Another small loss was sustained in the

tom had some plain paper stored in the
warehouse. which went up IN smoke
The printer does not know Just What

The police are not unnaturally bit
