BUSH FIRES.
(lil" KLECTKIC TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHT.) Christchurch, Friday. A telegram this afternoon from Akaroa states that a serious bush fire is raging. Mr H. Alymer's run has been swept, and he has lost many sheep. Mr Knox's farm was also swept, and the house was just saved, although scorched. The fire is rapidly spreading towards Mr Foswell's and Mr Hay's runs at Barny's Bay and Kay's grass and bush are on fire. At Little River, Watkin's bush is burning. A northwest gale is spreading (ires in every direction, and unless we have rain it will be a serious look-out, as the country is so dry.
