i-Sento.-Mr. J. & Hodder, of Portland,
has for the last few months rented the Moths for grazing
and has been in the habit of turning out about
orixrlll Portland sheep there. People who go on the
!sad "for purpose of recreation." with consent of the
Government authorities, too often ars accoinpanied by
dogs over which they have not proper control these
animals drive the sheep about, and sometimen the timid
creatures run into the water to escape. It appears that
on Sunday last, one of Mr. Hodder's sheep was actually
driven into the harbour and drowned. Sane men drew
the carcase ashore into a house, and went to Captain
Gray, who is related to Mr. Hodder, to know what
should be done. Captain Gray told dawn to leave it
where it was: he would send his grandson into Portland
to tell Mr. Hodder, and be would come out Not content
with this, two of the men went again to Captain Gray's
to know what they were to do, and the answer from his
granddaughter was still " Let it alone; Kr. Hodder is
coming out." This, however, di.' not satisfy them, and
eight men are dated to have skinned the sheep, thrown
the curiae into the Harbour, and sold the skin to •
man in the market for ninepence, which magnificent sum
they are said te bare divided between them, though what
they did with the ninth penny, we are not told. Geneve
of dogs are cautioned against allowing their dogs to drive
the sheep, and on the other hand the people who have
gardens In the vicinity of the With, complain that the
animals break fences, and ruin their tardenbeds. On

that the money was obtained at considerably less met
