One death is reported. Pitiable tales are coming in from the country as to the ravages of bush fires. Homesteads have been burnt ; the wheat and barley crops are suffering from the scarcity of water; the prevaling heat is excessive and has reached nearly 120 in the shade out west. In Sydney to-day it was over 100. Melbourne, Dec. 30.
