VERY SEVERE FROSTS.
INCIDENTS IN TARANAKI,
Some very sharp frosts wore experienced in the Taranaki inland districts last week. A very old settler states that he had never seen as heavy a one as that experienced at Inglewood last Tuesday morning. One resident reports having found a burst water-pipe in 4ho washhouse and water everywhere, while another relates a peculiar happening. The two taps in a wash-house were left slowly dripping, and during the night the dripping water froze cm the bottom of the tubs and then gradually froze upward. An upright stick of ice, about the thickness of a finger and about 20 inches long, stood on end from the tub to within an inch of the taps.
