"As the harvest season this year is late, sport will not be
general for at least two weeks hence, when grain crops may be
expected to be in stook. For some time to come sheep will be
confined to the low hill-sides and pasture lands and turnip
fields, and a few good bags were had there yesterday."--_Scotch
Paper._
