An Impending Flood.
RIVER REPORTED RISING RAPIDLY. Word was received last evening tha 1 the Manawatu at Palmerston was hank-high and “ rising rapidly.” The melting of the very heavy fall of snow on the ranges is attributed as the cause of this, and it is expected that to-night or to-morrow may witness one of the highest floods seen on the lower reaches of the river for many years past.. Some of the local mills got out as much hemp etc last evening as was considered in danger, and others today are preparing in the same way in view of the possibilities of being inundated. At Moutoa.it is reported that the the water is over the banks.
