OAMABU.
This day. .. Heavy floods hare caused a slight injury to the railway by which the running of trains to-day was interfered with. A slip occurred near the Otepopo tunnel, and it took about an hour to clear away the debris.
At Kilderthorp, about two miles from Oamaru, the wire was absolutely under water, and it was deemed advisable to defer running trains until the flood has subsided. The up express would be about four and a half hours behind time, and the down express an hour and a half.
It is not raining so heavily now, and it is iikely that the trains will run as usual to-morrow.
The express train for the South has been stopped by a land slip, which occurred a little beyond Herbert, and has come back to Oamaru. The up train will not be able to reach Oamaru to-night.
