PET TELKGBAPH. — PBESS ASSOCIATION.] PALMERSTON NORTH, This Day. Reports from Pohangina this morning state that the township is enveloped with a dense cloud of smoke and it is impossible to see any distance. The fires are still burning vigorously, but no fui"ther damage is reported beyond the continued destruction of feed and fences reported. The fear still exists that if the wind rises the valley will be swept by fire. It is now blowing fresh from the east with a tendency to increase.
