The boisterous weather of the last two days has not been confined to this part of the Colony alone, our telegrams recording it as severe in Wellington and Grahamstown; At the time of writing we are however glad to report every appearance of a break in the weather. Our railway lines have suffered most by the heavy rains. The difficulties, however, were greatly overcome by the commendable promptness of Mr Grant, Traffic Manager, who had gangs of men employed yesterday and to-day in clearing both lines. The Port Chalmers line was in a fit state for traffic early this morning, and by noon the Clutha line was cleared through to the All the through trains ran on this w no * O -day, the train leaving Dunedin at 7a m reaching Balclutha at 1 p.m. The ordinary trabw ™" be ran on tbe Port Une to-morrow, but the Saturday night late train will be a^ ont + mued , *°.nigkt. We may mention that *be Mock-svatom of telegraphy instituted by to*" Conyers has been found to be of the greatest pW. lD . leadvantage ; but before the aim for wblw lt was intended can be thoroughly effected, » main station will have to be erected at the Dunedin terminus.
