KAIKOURA.
fniOK OTJE OWN COHRESTONDCrT.) Last Tuesday a cold sou-wester sprang up, and for four days the weather has been of very wintry character. The ranges, which, up to then, were almost clear ot enow, are again draped in white. Sore? of the newly-shorn sheep have suffered somewhat. On one station the mortulitiis total over 200, and on the adjoining property the weather has been responsible for the deaths of over one hundred. The smaller settiers, who were busy shearing have suffered more or lese severely. On a station further up tiie coast the estimated lofs exceeds 500.
Notwithstanding the severe winter, Hie lambing oa one of the largest stations has been very satisfactory, and in most inetances the percentage reached was over the century. This is a splendid testimony aa regards the class of stock pastured on this fairly high country, and reflects credit on the management.
