Tho snowfall of the early part of the week had almost disappeared when hcavv snow set in last evening, and there is fully six inches on the ground this morning. This is the heaviest fall lor many years past, and following so quickly on the previous fall will ensure a. sloppy condition of roadways for some days. LAWRENCE, June 19. Another heavy snowfall occurred on Friday night. It was followed by a sharp f,rost, and on Saturday there" was very little thaw, and the surrounding country has a very cold and wintry appearance. While, no doubt, tho falls of snow which we have had will be welcomed bv thoso engaged in mining, assuring them", as it will, of a good water supply, it must be having a prejudicial effect on stock, especially to sheep on the higher country.
