WEATHER FORECAST.
The Government Meteorologist (Rev! D. C. Bates) telegraphed this afternoon as follows: The indications are for variable and strong breezes, strong to galo prevailing. Expect dull weather with much mist and fog in parts. Rain is probable The barometer is unsteady, but has a falling tendency.
On Silt a relay night the police received word that a cow had fallen into a creek at the side of Broadway North, and Sergeant McNeely and Constable McGowan immediately proceeded to the spot, finding the animal imprisoned in a hole, some fifteen feet deep, and with a few feet of water in the bottom. They set to work to liberate the cow, and finally accomplished this by digging a “lead” with a couple of snivels.' The animal was claimed this morning by a drover, being one of three cows that had got loose from his herd. It is practically certain that had the police not acted promptly the animal would have died. In the, meantime it is worthy of note that the hole remains, a, menace to drovers, and a danger to the general public. The attention of Councillors has been drawn to it, and it is probable that more will be heard of the matter.
