Mortality Among Sheep.—Unmistakable evidence was furnished at the skin sales yesterday of the high rate of mortality among sheep in this county during the past few weeks. Hundreds of skins that had been removed from the carcases of sheep that died in the paddocks were offered for sale, proving that the graziers have lost considerably as the result of rough weather.
