THE HILLS ABLAZE. m  People of Holyrood •*  FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BREATHE. ♦ i.,  (Succial to the "Evening Telegram.") Pine since Lust Week. Holyrood, This Afternoon. A very destructive forest fire has been ragiug through the country since last week. It originated, apparently, on the Southern Shore, and weuded its way westward until meeting tbe heavy timber between Saltnonier aud Holyrood It then changed its course towards tbe latter place. The smoke was so »»«>iiM* Here Lisas Nffflit that it wa9 dillicult to breathe or move around. The hills were all ablaze here this morning ; but, thanks to kind Providence, to-day's rain has saved much property from fire and materially helped to advance vegetation. The few people available here have just goue to the woods to kill out the few smouldering embers remaining after tbe raiu.
