brood mare Sarah Washington" now nineteen

spring, has been sold by Mr.. Thos. w boswell to r.
Tea Brock, ESQ., for $l300-the mare for $1,000,
and the sucking for $500 Sarah Washington is
the dam of more sweepstake winners than any
other mare in Virginia. She will be taken South
by Mr.. Ten Broeck, who new owns more first rate
horses than any other gentleman in the Union
Among them are: Lecompte (the winner of the
great four mile heat ace in New Orleans in 1896
which, at this time was the fastest four miles ever
run in that country,) the celebrated race horse

currently reported that he designs taking his stable
TO Europe. Ii he does SO, and his horses arrive
there safe and sound the representatives of "John
BuP' on the turf, will have to pay dearly for the

Almost Cdught-On Wednesday night last, at a
late hour, q gentleman residing on Shockee Hill,
heard a noise il his back yard as If some one
was pulling off plank, and suspecting that de.
predations were about being committed upon his
poultry, arose from his bed partially dressed him
self, and seizing his double barrel gun which was
heavily loaded, crept down stairs and into his
yard as quietly as possible. On getting near his
hen house he saw a stout fellow tugging away at
the door with all his might, and Instantly hailed
him with orders not to at the peril of his life.
Feeling disposed to take all chances the thief bolt
ed as hard as he could go, aud with the hope of
stopping him, the gentleman levelled his gun at
the fugitive and pulled both triggers but the gun
the tubes afterwards, he found that the caps had
failed to burst, and by that means had probably
cheated the Coroner out of fee
Cdlypso-Ths little steamer is to make a pleas
ure trip up the canal in short time, and from all
we can learn, will 60 to the head of navigation by
that line, making run up the Rivanna river her
way She is beautiful little craft admirably suit
ed to pleasure parties, either up down the river
and appears to be just safe as any other vessel
propelled by steam.
The Dog Catchers were out with their nets yes
terday, and made sad havoc among the stray ours,
in various parts of the city 1t is to be hoped that
they will make repeated expeditions against the
canine race and that all dogs caught going at large,
will fall into their nets.
Personal Propaty.-In the ordinance concerning
"City Taxes published by us yesterday, slight
error occurred, which we hasten to correct. In
the 4th section the misprint was as follows: "On
llother personal estate $25 for every 500 value
thereof" 1t should have read: Son all other per-
sonal estate dollar and t,0enty cents for every
one hundred dollars calae thereof" The error Is
. material one to tax payers, and the correction
of it will no doubt be gratifying to them.
Nesc Front-The brick building on Main street,
few doors west of 18th, heretofore occupied BY
Mr. Curry a boot and shoe establishment, is to

be very neat store.

all in fiourishing condition, and the number of

Bandy and other games indulged In by boys, are
prohibited by the ordinances of the city, and the
transgressors win be reported and punished when
detected by the police. Boys should bear this fact
In mind and save their parents the modification Of
being called before the Mayor.

the Second Baptist Church are holding fair and
as they have great variety of pretty articles as
