SNOW IN THE SOUTH.
CHRISTCHURCH IN DABKNESS. ' By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. A good deal of snow fell yesterday and last night in the back country. Tho fall at Lake Coleridge was about twelve ihchcs. From Ashburton the report is that, snow in the back country is having ft serious effect pn stock, and that big losses | are inevitable, as the lambing season is at its height.- Ag it is still snowing, the prospects are .decidedly bud. The Lake . Coleridge electric power failed late last night, both lines going, and leaving tho city in darkness. One line was restored this morning. HEAVY LOSSES OF LAMBS EXPECTED. Timaru, Last Night. Over an inch of rain fell at Timaru, and over two inches inland, while tenow fell from Cave westward (six inches at Kimbell), between Saturday and noon to-day. This will be greatly injurious to lambing prospects, and will prolong the inaction in cultivation work, which is already behind hand through the previous rain. Heavy losses of lambs are anticipated from the cold and wet.
