PROLIFIC SHEEP.-A correspondent informs
us that Mr.. VIM Woodsell living on the top of
the Warm Springs Mountain, in Bath county,
has two sheep, each of which has given birth
this Spring to four lambs. The lambs of the
one were two black and two white; and of the
other, three white and one black.
One of these sheep is only two years old aud
has had seven lambs-three at one year, and four
at two years of age. That must be good local
ity for sheep, or Mr. Woodsell has the fortune
to have an unusually prolific species Bath chal-
