A SHEEP K1LLER.-A very large eagle
: was shot in Sussex county, few days
ago, on the farm Of Mr.. Jos. r. Mason of
Petersburg. The Express states that
this bird had for some lime been playing
sad havock with Mr.. Ms lambs. Every
day some three or four would be num-
bered with the dead, and upon examina.
ton it was discovered that they we're
killed by bird of some kind, the backs
of the animals exhibiting evident marks
OF the tallons, and each side of the throat
having larae incision as if done by the
beak OF some monster of the feathered
species. 1t seems that no portion of the
flesh was devoured, but the blood sucked
from them until the creatures were life
less. MIR. H., the ovcrseer, resolved to
watch for the wholesale murderer, and
discovered him as he bounced upon the
eighteenth lamb, seventeen having been
previously killed. This latter only being
wounded on one side Of the throat sur
vlVed about twenty -four hours after. Mr..
L. rode within forty yards of the eagle
before he shot, but did not succeed in
killing him, as the bird flew to tree in
the woods adjacent and there alighted
His purSuer followed, and getting within
reasonable distance, again pulled trig-
ger, and broug hit the monster bird TO the
ground. He proved to be what is known
as the American Eagle. OF great dlmen
sions. measuring six feet and eight inches
between the tips of his wing. From &C,
counts VIC see daily in our country ex
changes, the Eagle is becoming grea
annoyance TO farmers. A great number
OF lambs have been destroyed by then
this Spring in all parts Of the State.

CONCERT ON FRIDAY NIGHT-FOr some
days past, our readers have observed in our ad.
vertsing columns announcement that a Concert
would shortly be given by Madam Amelia Sirnin-
ski assisted by other musicians of talent Some
curiosity hss been excited thereby, arising not only
from the novelty of lady flutist, but from the
fact that Richmond should have been selected as
water, when New Yo lis salmost univeI sally known
as the resort of debAtdntes. We are now able TO
inform the public that there is no humbug about
this aunouncement-that the Concert will come off
at Metropolitan Hall Friday highland that mus
ical treat is in store for citizens such as they
have rarely listened to. Wehad the pleasure yes
terday of hearing Madam Smnski, and can say
unequvocally that she is perfect mistress of the
instrument upon which she plays-nay, her per-
beautiful notes of the flute sinking to the gentle
breathings OF an Bolian harp and dying away in
the distance well in the full round notes
swelling like an approaching gale, and the rapid
and brilliant execution of difficult passages Madam
Siminski is equally skilful. More closely resemb.
ling the human voice than any other instrument,
the flute is capable of expressing all 'the tender
emotions of nature, as the violin in the hands of
master deineates the stronger PASSIONS and in the
performances ofths lady, ali that is beautiful in
melodyis made to appear. She ia moreover, a
vocalist OF no common power, as the public will
undoubtedly decide after listening to her. st
The entertainment will be varied by performances
on the violin by Signor Bora of this city This gen.
tleman is very skilful solo performer and we are
quite sure that an agreeable surprise awaits those
who prefer the violin to any other instrument His
execution compares favorably with that of many of
the leading astes. Herr Thilow and Signor Bottini
will alternately preside at the piano.
We can assure our readers that this novel enter.
