THE WEATHER.
* '•■'■..-■■.'■ ' i Yeeterday there was a frost early in "the i morning, and during the day the temperacure was low and there were frequent [ showers of rain. r- In the North Canterbury district the '■ weather on Saturday and Bunday was fine, but early on Monday morning heavy rain i eet in. i After a few hours'lovely weather on Sunday, a bitLerly cold wind, with alternate > showers of eleefc, hail and rain, was expe* k rienced at Ashbarton yesterday. Theatmo- , sphere towards evening had a koanly sharp . edge, and there was every indication of a f hard frost. , Our Oxford correspondent wrote on Sani day:—We are getting delightful warm , days with frosty nights, and the snow has [ entirely disappeared except on the higher t levels. Early iambs are being dropped, buo , so far with not very good results, fortov , nately the general lambing does not commence till September, when we may expect [ a little spring grass. Cattle, particularly , those not fed and sheltered, have fallen off .' in condition, and I fancy there will be a , shortage in the supply of dairy cattle , daring the coming season.
