There are funny things told about yard sheep in the district (says the Fielding Star.) One mob known as “ a mixed lot ” had been so often “gone through” and “mouthed,” that whenever they are put in a pen they begin to sort themselves into groups, consisting of tw-tooth, fourth-tooth, six-tooth and crawlers. A veracious anecdotist said that when he was looking at them the other day, he saw the four-tooth ones butting and showing a rather good looking member out, when the other quietly opened its lips and showed that the Jaw was now ornamemted with four teeth. The candidate was duly admitted.
