Tiie three snowfalls experienced in th-3 Wakatipu district t?p to Friday last were evidently only preliminary to the big visitation on Friday night, says the "Lake Wakatipu Mail." Early in tho evening snow commenced to fall, and it continued well into next day. By comparison with other parts of the county, Queenstown got off well, as the deposit measured but three inches in the town and about double that on tlw terrace. At Arrowtown they had over 18 inches, with about a foot on the intervening country. Reports from Crown Terrace give the depth of the snow there at between three and four feet. At Nokomai it was reported to be three feet deep. It is greafTv feared that the heavy snowfall will prove disastrous to several of the runs on high country. Even those sheepfarmers who have their flocks well down are bound to suffer to a certain extent 9wing to the snow having come so low and being followed by hard frost. A Civil War bomb which has been tossed about for 57 years, used as an andiron and in shot-putting exercises, exploded recently, wrecking a house on a plantation two miles south of Opelousas, Louisiana (U.S.A.). At the time it exploded it was serving as an andiron, no one being in the house at the time. The house was burned to the ground.
