A CARD

Mr. Sturridge has thrown a stone, which is much to be regretted, as we do not travel in these parts of the island for the purpose of injuring in any manner, the character of a gentleman who has been accustomed to be looked for as a regular visitor.  But, the public having stated their grievances, we are prepared to visit each district every six months punctually.  We also tune and endeavor to make playable the most antiquated instruments with as much pleasure as the Queenly Erard and Steinway.

REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS AND DEATHS

The law for the registration of Births and Deaths will come into operation at the beginning of next month.  According to its provisions, in the case of births, it will be the duty, primarily, of the father and mother of the child to give information of the birth to the Registrar within 42 days after its occurrence; and in the case of deaths, it will be the duty of the nearest relatives of the deceased present at the death to give information to the Registrar within five days after it shall have happened.  Information must be given to the District Registrar nearest to, and in the same parish with, the house where the birth or death takes place.  No fee is payable by the informant.  No intimation has yet been publicly given who are the Registrars.  This should certainly be done without delay, as the law will come into operation in a few days.
A system of registration existed in this country a generation ago, but it was abandoned as impracticable.  Now however that the population is denser and education somewhat more diffused among the people, registration may be so are carried out as to furnish fairly accurate information.

FIRE IN KINGSTON

A very destructive fire has occurred in Kingston.  The number of houses destroyed is seriously estimated at from 25 to 30.  There seems to be some doubt respecting the loss of life.  There is also the same tout as to the origin of the fire.  The following are the details as given by the "Budget."

Between five and six o'clock on Thursday evening, a fire broke out at the corner of Barry Street and Princess Street.  It originated at the building on the northwest corner, the upper part occupied as a residence and the basement as a provision shop kept by a Chinaman by the name of Robert Jackson.  The first general alarm was given by the ringing of the bell at the government workshop, but it was not till the bell of the parish church was set a ringing that the inhabitants became aroused , and soon a large crowd gathered at the scene.  Unfortunately no one in authority was present to take any measures for arresting the flames, and as the building was an old one it burned with considerable rapidity and was entirely consumed before any efforts were made to prevent the destruction of the adjoining property.
The flames took the building in Barry Street occupied as a shop, and in a few minutes stretched across Barry Street to the building on the southwest corner, occupied as a residence above and a drug shop below.  The fire was extending up and down the range of buildings on the left side of Princess Street and on the right and left of Barry Street.  Places in the rear of Princess Street were burnt in rapid succession.
The fire brigade was inefficient; the hose of which it had command admitted a feeble jet of water which did not extend 10 feet.  The full pressure of the water was put on invariably and the hose in consequence burst before it could be brought into use.
By six o'clock the fire was at its highest, and upwards of a dozen buildings were entirely destroyed.  The so called fire brigade was by this time marshaled in order, under the direction of the superintendent, but the fire could not be brought under control.  Over 25 houses were destroyed.  They were chiefly the dwellings and places of business of the poorer classes, who were hardly likely to have been predicted by insurance.
The police were strict in the performance of their share of duty.  The inspectors Tivey, Crosbie and Ponsonby were constantly among the men, encouraging them by a word of approval whenever it was necessary.
