EWEBURN.

February 18. — During the past week or so we have experienced fine dry weather on the whole with warm, sunny days, though it has been somewhat showery and changeable at times. One or two very warm days were felt during the latter end of this week with following calm and chilly nights, on one or two occasions as much as one degree of frost being felt. Occasional heavy downpours of rain have occurred and a considerable fall of snow was last week deposited on the ranges, which took the heat of two or three scorching days to obliterate. At present it is fine, but showery, with a falling glas3 and indications of rain. Entertainment. — A. kinetnatograph exhibition was held in Croft's bam laet Tuesday by tlio Messrs Montgomery. I hear there was a good

i attendance, the takings proving fairly substanI tial.

The "War. — The residents of this locality are still as enthusiastic as ever over the present South African struggle. To illustrate the intensity of public feeling in this direction in this district, I have it on good authority that a citizen of a town not a great many miles from here was rather roughly handled by the crowd, and told to go and serve under" his country's colours for expressing his pro-Boer sympathies too" freely.
