We are informed that there has been considerable mortality among carl.v-shorn sheep in the Stratford district, owing to the exceptionally heavy weather experienced of late. A very peculiar incident occurred yesterday which resulted beneficially to Mr T. Webb, of Bird Road. It appears that during the very heavy hail squalls a swarm oi bees were driven on to Mr "Webb’s property, and remained there.
