HOUSE BLOWN DOWN

STORM SWEEPS WAIRARAPA. ORCHARDS MUCH DAMAGED. RIVERS RUNNING HIGH. The Wairarapa was visited on Monday night by the worst storm that has been experienced for many years (states the "Star’s” Masterton correspondent). A southerly wind of hurricane force brought with it a heavy; driving rain. The gale commenced about three o’clock on Monday afternoon, and reached its height about midnight. Sheds and fences were blown down, and trees were torn out by the roots. Orchards and flower gardens were lashed by the wind, and many fruit trees were practically tripped of their fruit. Rivers are running high, and the flooding of low-lying country is feared. A house in Masterton, in the course or erection, was blown down. The total damage amounts to thousands of pounds. The storm continued on Tuesday morning, though it has abated slightly. It was reported on Tuesday morning that the storm had caused a heavy mortality of newly-shorn sheep and lambs. Mr. W. A. Tate, of Greytown, suffered a loss of over £lOOO through the destruction of fruit in his orchard.
