The warm rain that has fallen intermittently during the oast two days has been the means of dislodging a considerable amount of snow from the ranges, and consequently the rivers and small streams have been running full. The Waiohine River was very high yesterday. The M.mngatereu flooded its banks near the Waiohine Bridge, with the result that Swamp Road was covered to a fair depth. Today the water is receding.
