ON THE RAILWAY LINES.
SLIPS AND WASHOUTS. Tho delugo was responsible for a small slip and a-washout on the railway lino in the vicinity of Ngaio, tho .damage being sufficiently serious to result in the cancellation of tho Sunday train time-table. On the Wairarapa line, at "Ladlo Bend," about midway between the Kaitoke Station and tho Summit, a small slip and washout also occurred. All tho damage has now been repaired. A visitor who travelled from Masterton to Wellington on Saturday states that the rain pelted hard and solid the wholo way, and tho noiso it made on the roof of the carriages and swishing against tho windows made ordinary conversation impossible. Every'stream', visible from the train appeared to bo in high flood, and in the paddocks you could almost seo the grass growing. Tho . heavy downpour would, he surmised, be of incalculable benefit to the whole of the district, where tho question, of'winter feed wa9 beginning to assume tho aspects of a problem.
