Of smoke since Monday morning last,
and many miles Of fence has been de-
stroyed in the rural districts. So far no
buildings have been destroyed by the
flames, but it has been by almost super
human efforts on the part Of combined
forces that conflagratiOns have been
averted Miles Of forest and mountain
have been burned over, and woods here
fofore beautiful in autumn tints and
made lively by the drum of pheasant
and chatter Of squirrels are but black
ened mass, silent and desolate in their
Businesses. The effect of these fires
upon game of all kinds has been very

here predict that game OF all kinds will
be scarce for years to come. The
