INTERPROVINCIAL.
The following are some of the experiences of the severity of the weather in Otago:— An Invercargill paper says that the cold was recently so great at Winton, that one morniug forty fowls belonging to Mr F. White were found " stark and stiff," having been frozen to death. At Arrowtown the snow has been lying from eight to ton inches deep in the streets. At Tapanui the snowfall was almost equally great. The frost in the Waipori district appears to have been intense. The Waipori river was frozen for miles, while the ice was so strong that even a horse crossed upon it. In Tokomairiro much snow has fallen, and the cold and frost are intense. The fall of snow has caught a good many of the farmers while engaged in harrowing the seed, and others while lifting their potatoes. It will be some time before the ground is in a state to allow of the latter occupation being resumed
