[P*H United Press Assooiatiok.J NEW PLYMOUTH, December 27. It is reported that Te Whiti, of Parihaka, has received a telegram from the Governor saying that he will hold a big meeting there in March next. Te Whiti replied that he agreed with the meeting, but suggested that it should be held at Waitara, when he and Tohu would attend with all the important men. The Governor is sending his and Lady Onslow's photographs to Te Whiti. CHRISTOHURCH, December 27. Bush and grass fires have been raging in the country districts for the last few days, and a deal of damage has been done to the grass and grain crops, besides which numbers of buildings are now in great danger. A strong nor'-wester, which has been blowing, has carried the fire with astonishing rapidity. A fire broke ont on the Leeston show ground yesterday while tbe sports were being held, and great damage was done to the plantations. The women and children were carried to a place of safety with difficulty. The Maria Andrews Park at Rangiora was completely destroyed, the estimated damage being L3OO odd. There is danger of fresh outbreaks.
