DESTRUCTIVE WATERSPOUT.
(By Telegraph.) INVERCARGILL, Januaiy 15. A water-spout at Parrawa, near Kingston, bored a great hole m the face of the mountain,' carrying trees, rocks and clay m its train. When it reached the flat country it spread out and covered a portion of Gibson's farm with debris, and also covered the railway line and filled the creeks leading into the Mataura river. A rabbiter was caught m the tail of the storm and covered with red clay. The sun was shining brightly a few minutes before.
