A curious result of the wet season is leported m a Dorset contemporary.. It appears that the other day the attention of Mr. Martin Small," a well-known farmer m the parish of Shapwick, was called by his shepherd to one of the sheep, all along the. back of which grass was springing up. It is conjectured the animal, having been supplied with hay, had lain down on it, and the seeds, mixing' with the wool, germinated through the sheep having been exposed to rain for a very long period.
