THE WEATHER.
Ou Friday there was a considerable fall of rain, which cleared the ground of thq snow that had remained iv sheltered places. On Saturday ami, yesterday the weather was fine, aud yesterday morning the thermometer registered three degrees of frost. The North Otago Times says:— •* We are informed that so far as the Kurow side of the Upper Waibaki is concerned the loss of sheep by the recent snowstorm will not be anything like as great as was supposed. Our informant, who has had considerable experience of the Upper Waibaki, says that eight years ago a worse snowstorm was experienced than bhe recent one, and bhab bhe* loss of sheep was then bub trifling. He saythat the snow is melting on all the lower faces lookiug norbh—viewing bhe position from the direction of Lake Ohau ; bub from bhe opposite direction the hills all wear their white mantle of snow. It is gratifying to know that bhe stations on bhe south side of bhe Waibaki will nob suffer bo anything like the exbenb we were led to believe. Still, there are obher places where bhe snow yet lies deep, and where the sheep have had neither shelter nor food for many weeks." .-
