BLENHEIM.
January 19
A terrific conflagration has occurred on the runs. The whole country between the Awatere and Flaxbournehas been burned, and sheep roasted in mobs. All the fences and feed are dcs troyed. The fire is still raging, and is spi'cading behind Richmond and Stafford's runs. The Cape run has been burned. About 20 miles of country, near the Scarborough homestead, was saved with difficulty. Such a firo was never known here before.
