We have had a continuous downpour of rain here, since Thursday evening last, and though therivers have been flooded to a considerable extent, there is but little destruction to property, &c,, to chronicle. The outer- end of the County wharf at Paoroa has been lifted bodily to a height of. 18. inche3 above its.originallevel, and the ferryboat at Mackaytown broke loose from its mooring and drifted down to Wash's landing, where. it now lies—a complete wreck.

Messrs Woods and Lipsey, junr , nlarrowly.escapejl a watery grate on Satur day evening last. They were crossing the Obinemuri Eivor at Karangahake in a small canoe, which capsized in midstream, and though both could swim they were completely exhausted when they reached terra firma, by which time they had lost most, of their wearing apparel.

(Per Pjeless Association.) ,
