INCH CLUTHA.
The severe south-easterly storm that passed over our district on Saturday night and also on Sabbath night left its prints very vividly upon our fields and our gardens — fields of wheat and oats being levelled to the ground. Fruit of al? descriptions is shattered and partially rendered valueless. Most fortunate for the settlers, the river has kept within reasonable bounds, and though for a time in high flood it is now subsiding, and no fears are entertained of any further* damage, the stop breaks being in good order. Matters certainly looked gloomy for a day or two. Some of the light crop's are beginning to raise their heads a little. The major parts are heavy, and the effects of this tempest will be trying to the farmer when harvest cornea. Still matters may take a more favourable turn before the crops are ripe, which they won't be for some time. — Our factory is pushing a-head with a good supply of milk.
