THE WEATHER.

From our telegrama we learn that the recent severe weather has been pretty general all over the coleny and has been accompanied in mosb parts with snow. Even Auckland has had its snow storm, and in Dunedin a depth of six inches is recorded, while Christchurch also had intermittent falls on Saturday night from six o'clock till ten. Very little snow fell here, though at ten o'clock on Saturday night a shower fell and this waa followed early on Sunday morning by fairly heavy falls but with the morning sun the light coating quickly disappeared. Still if we have not had so much as our friends north and south we have missed none of their chilly experiences as the sou-wester which has been blowing since Saturday's about as keenly biting and as disagreeable as we have experienced for some time.

Rainfall during August—Alford Forest, 6.7S inches ; Afford Station, 3 20 inches.

George Henry, aged twelve, waa proceeding towards school with his companions when a snow ball was thrown at a passer by. The latter, who carried a stick, ran after the boya in a threatening manner.

SAMOA.

London, September 1. The " Daily News" questions the right of H.M.S, Curacoa to interfere in Samoa, and points out that the as sistance exercised was solely in support of Malietoa, and not because British lives were endangered.

Auckland, September 3 Fall particulars have been received, per the Upolu, of the bombardment of the rebel stronghold at Samoa. On August 10 the rebels were notified that they would be shelled the following day. Two rebel chiefs came off to the Curacoa and told Captain (xibson they would vacate their position if the Government troops would do likewise. They were informed that no conditions would be given They must disperse and return to their homes. Punctually ab nine o'clock the Our^coa and Buzzard opened fire. Afcer shelling for about an hour both shipa blew their sirens, which was the preconcerted signal for the Government troops to advance into the enemy's territory, which they promptly did, being led by King Malietoa. Some of the party rushed for ward to seize one of the rebel boats. Two of their number were killed and beheaded, some also being wounded. The King's troups took possessioi of one fort, but were almost immediately attacked troro another, and had a number of the party killed and wounded. The rebels also suffered considerable lose- Aiher four o'clock a few more shells wera thrown, As the ships'gunners had now obtained i an excellent range, they were enabled to place the shells with almost unerring accuracy. The first was thrown about fifty yards from the port, the second a little nearer. The third was thrown amongst the rebels and killed two and wounded nine. The next lodged in the roof of Mr Oalne's Wes'.eyan Church, which building was destroyed. Some furt' er loss wa» sustained by the rebels, but the number cannot be accurately ascertained. On Tuesday four principal chiefs oa*ie on board the Curacoa and promised they would disperse their follower* and return peacefully to their homes, pay tax, and deliver up 100 rifles. The King expressed himself thoroughly satisfied with the terms of submission. The Curacoa left for Apia, the Buszard remaining to see that the terms of settle ment were complied with.

Bicycle Ride by a Snake

The Superintendent of a Pennsylva nian foundry, Canni Glover, has had a thrilling experience with a snake. Mr Glover was quietly wheeling along a country road near the city when he felt something strike him on the leg. At the same time he heard a hissing sound. Looking down he saw en tangled hi the front wheel an enor mous snake, which at every revolution of the wheel attempted to fasten its pangs into his leg. Mr Glover realised in an instant that to stop the wheel 1 meant death. He started to ride faster in the hope that the reptile might be shaken. A half mile was covered at terrific speed, Mr Glover perspiring at every pore, The head of the snake was whirling with the wheel, and seemed itself a solid circle. The top of a high hill was reached and Glover decided, to take desperate chances, and let his machine go with out stay or break. He then raised his feet, tightly grasped the handles, and without for an instant tak ing his eyes off the slimy attach ment to his wheel, started down the steep hill. The snake held on. Faster and faster the rider went. Vague ap prehensions as to how the ride would end were flitting through the wheel man's mind, when the wheel swerved, struck a bank, and the rider was thrown fully a dozen feet away. Gathering himself up he started to where his machine lay, a short distance further down the hill. "What he found were three jelly like sections of snake jammed into the spokes of the wheel, and various tmaller sections clinging to other parts of the wheel. The snake was dead, but so firmly had por tions of it become entangled in the wheel that it was with difficulty re moved. The reptile was a rattle-snake It is supposed to have been running across the road when Mr Glover's wheel passed, and to have become en tangled in the spokes. The incident is one of the most peculiar on record, and Mr Glover probably owes his life to the fact that he kept his wheel in rapid motion.
