According to a Californian paper, it is esmated that from one-half to two-thirds of the sheep in the ; State perished during the winter from starvation. Dr Swain, of Watsonville, recently started for the mountains with over 3000 sheep, and the lifeless carcases of over 2500 mark the route taken. The Doctor declares that unclaimed dead and dying sheep covered the plains, and hundreds of sheep and lambs fall into line behind the waggons of the traveller, and follow in the hope of gettiug a morsel of hay. Another man, from San Joaquiu Valley, lost every sheep he had— ll,ooo— and went home a penniless man. Another man, an Italian, thought he could save the cost of ferrying his sheep across the Tuolumne river by swimming them, and 800 were drowned in the attempt. Another man, east of Visalia, despairing of ever gettiug his sheep to where there was feed, turned out 12,000 to starve. These are but a few from a number of cases given; and it is refreshing to see that that the losses of cattle are not so large, " as they were taken to the mountains in time."
