A COSTLY SHEEP.--Seyeral days ago
we had occasion to refer to a weakness
for newspaper literature manifested
by a sheep named s.Billy" who makes
hi, headquarters at the Eclipse Stables,
Gold Hill. Although the animal
makes himself obnoxious to the people
doing business In the vicinity Of the
stables, he has succeeded remarkably
well In ingratiating himself into favor
with the proprietor and attaches Of the
livery stable. Ever since his arrival
In Gold Hill he has been In the habit
Of making raids upon an a~pple-stand
on the opposite side Of Main street.
Mundell, after frequent complaints
from the proprietor Of tho fruit store
In regard to the depredations OF
billy" told the fruit dealer
to let the sheep have all
the fruit he wanted and send
him the bill, which amounted, last
month to $40. While Mooney kept
the animal at his livery stable, in Vfr-
ginla, he got two or three law suits on
his hands, In consequence OF the preda-
tory habits Of Billy, which cost him In
all about $3.50.
