We have been shown a statement OF
the weight Of ten cattle, raised by John
Cunningham, Esq, of this county,
which will be hard to beat. The united
weight of the ten cattle was 2O, ,452, or
an average of 2,O4o. The heaviest one
weighed 2,25a pounds
VIM. H. Harness, Esq, killed a few
days since, two very large eagles, one OF
which measured from tip to tip seven
feet seven inches and quarter.
We learn that Samuel Sherrard shot
very large eagle last week, in the
wing, only disabling it from flying. He
now has the proud bird" in custody.
His birdship will whip any dog that
may he let in to it, it is said.

down from the Page valley.
The high waters and breaking up OF
the ice, have destroyed every mill-dam
on the river.
SIGNIFICANT.-We have learned that
Judge Hall, of this District, has ex-
pressed the opinion that it is exceeding
" doubtful whether he shall hold an
other term of his Court in Jefferson, as
from the best information that can be
elected, he believes the Supreme
Court will retrocede Jefferson to old
Virginia.
RoBBEp.-Mr. John Wolfe, formerly
of this county, now a resident of Rock
ingham, was waylaid and robbed in
Martinsburg, during the rainy dark
nights a week or ten days since. He
was OH his way from the hotel to the
cars, when he was attacked by negroes,
five in all, knocked down and severely
beaten. He made manly resistance, but
the night being so dark his revolver
was only partially effective, and he was
eompelled to surrender his wallet with
S232 in greenbacks. No clue as yet to
the daring rogues.
