WHITE STOAT OF WIMBORNE.
A resident of Wimborne, Dorset, recently saw something white moving among the short grass of a meadow It was a stoat, snow white with the exception of the tip of its tail, which was black like that of an ermine. The stoat was running to and fro. but making its way toward some dry grass about ten yards from the hedge; then a passing waggon frightened it, and it ran into the hedge and was not seen again. In hill country where there is a great deal of snow stoats do grow white in winter, like mountain hares, but it is rare to see one so far south as Dorset.
