THE WEATHER.
(From Our Own Correspondent.) Arrowtow.v, September 4. Electrical distuibjti.ee* have prevailed for a day or two, aud eirly thu morning broke out in another thunderstorm of some violence, fully bearing out Mr Paulina foncsfc. There were strong and squally winds, but little rain, and the risa in oui' rivers is due much more to the former than the latter. It is s *fe to say that there is now no great danger from flood*, as all the suow likely to come away in a mass has disappeared gradually, and what remains is frozen into sjlid ice. Unless new snow should fall aud is followed by warm rain and wind, uo danger from floods is threatened.
We are indebted to the Telegraph departm nt for the following information received on the 4th : — Naseby reports: " Strong N.W. gale last l.i^ht with heivy rain early this morning. Still blowing 6trong N.W. Kale. Glass very low. Tempera' u<-e high. Snow disappearing rapidly off the ranges. Rivera rite shortly." Hyde railway reportj : " River a little lower to-day. Raining and blowing here and at Hamiltons."
