EAST COAST NOTES.
(From Our Oicii Correspondent!, Tuesday.
From the night of Wednesday the 10th inst up till Suuday morning, rain fell almost without cessation, causing an unusually heavy flood in the Kaihoata River and all the adjoining creeks, the water rising higher than during the Easter Hood of 1895, A great deal of damage has been done to fencing and floodgates, and it is reported that almost all the culverts on the road between Waikikino and Glenburn have been washed out. Very few laud slips have, however, taken place. So high and continuous was the Hood in the Kaihoata river, that a mob of 1,500 lambs from Mr W. C. Buchanan's Tupurupuru Station en routu for Waikaraka were unable to be ci'ossed for five days. Rain again set in from the South liast last night but there are now signs of the weather clearing. A very heavy sea is running on the Coast.
