A. resident of Beutinck told us last Thursday afternoon of a prolific flock of sheep owned by Mr. Xell McCall- Utu. of that township. About three- weeks ago ten ewes gave birth to 29 lambs, nine having triplets and one twins. The lambs wero born during a cold spell and the inclement wea- ther played havoc with an otherwise apparently healthy bunch of animals. We believe this constitutes a record in so large a flock. About twenty of the young lambs are still living and doing well. Durham Chronicle. The Streets of Shelhurne From all directions in the vicinity of this town >-ome reports of the rc.id being in poor condition for vehicular traffic, but for downright impassable roads for any kind of traffic we might draw tho attentiou of our town fathers) to Main street, east from this office. On several occasions during the past week motors have '.-.ecu hauled out to solid terra tirnia by teams of horses.
