The Experience of Norfolk In Buying
by Weight.
NORFOLK, March II, 1869.
Elitors of the Dispatch =:

Editors of the Dispatch
Please soy in your next market quota
tions of grain, if oats are sold by aoe'ght or
measure in your market. We have recently
adopted sales by aoeight, which l think
should govern in all articles of grain where
the article is 80 variable in weight. 1t does
not hold good in all things, however, as our
people are now testing to their utmost dis
content. Our Common Council has recently
passed law that all poultry, country
lamb, shote, etc., brought to market, shall
be weighed when sold, under o heavy Pc
nalty. Norfolk has always been noted for
its fine market articles brought in by the
country people and exposed for sale in front
of their carts, and sold by the pair or piece,
potatoes by the peck or bushel, according
to the value placed on them by the sellers,
who are people generally unacquainted with
weights. Now, this new order has played
successfully in the hands of the huctsters.
The poor country people have no scales or
weights, and if they had them they would
not know how to sell by them. The fear Of
being fined gives the hucksters the monopoly
of what they bring to market, and we are
compelled to pay the hucksters fabulous
prices for whatever we buy from them.
The Common Council have rescinded the
toreStalling la,o which protected the citizen,
and allow the hucksters to buy at one end
of the market and sell the same at the other.

EXCITING AFFAIR IN SUssEx.-A corre-
'epondent at Newton writes us that few
days since young man named Tiohenor,
living in an obscure portion Of Vernon

ranged, and while in this unfortunate con-
dition seized, q double -barreled shotgun,

closely as possible without hitting them,

to blow out their brains. He had plenty
Of ammunition, and kept one barrel loaded
all the time, firing from each alternately.
During this time neighbor, attracted by
the firing, came and looked through the
key-hole, when Tichenor fred on him, but
did no damage. Finally, the madmsn be-
coming hungry; ate largely of some salt
beef, sharing it with the others; this
crested thirst, and finding some liquor in
the house he drank 80 largely that intoxi-

Jonas naiyely told our informant Ihls
Was a situation. Jonas began to think
this would be his last fight with wiid-cats,
and that the wildcats would probably have
the extreme felicity OF eating Jonas BROOKS ;
for their supper. All these thoughts OF
course passed through Jonas's mind Whlle
the animals were for moment kept at pay
by the lively motions Of his hickory cudgei.
ONLY for a moment, however, as his trst
antagonist again took the lead in an attack,
and although she met with sharp blow Of
the cudgel, the whole litter followed in such
orick succession that Jonas was unable to
keep them off. And now ensued struggle
which it is useless to attempt to portray.
The ferocious animals clawed into Jonas
in every quarter, while he made almost
superhuman efforts to tear them off-knock-
ing about right and left with his club as
we'll as he was able, and clutching them by
the throats with his left hand when he got
chance. Luckily, Jonas was arrayed in
a good suit Of homespun instead Of "shod-
dy," or he would have been stripped to the
skin in no time. The fight was fierce and
lively one for time, as can be readily
imagined. Jonas was fighting for his life,
however, and soon succeeded in putting the
Young cats Aors de combat, by cracking
them judiciously over the head. His blows
upon the old ones also began to tell
and after last desperate struggle, in
which one of them got 8 finishing blow, the
other retreated to the back of the cave,
where Jonas proceeded to do for him also,
leaving Jonas "master OF the situation"
An inventory of our hero's wardrobe, taken
after the fight, exhibited one suspender,
about half vest, one leg of pantaloon,
no shirt to speak of, and pair OF boots that
wouldn't "shed heavy dew" as Jonas
expressed it. His whole body and limbs
were frightfully lacerated, and the blood
fairly ran from his wounds, notwithstand-
ing which Jonas tied the tails Of the Six
wildcats together, and swinging them
around his neck, he walked home with his
trophies.

sharp personalities, the progress OF which
asarrested by the Court. The new Com
monwealth's attorney for the city was sent
for by the Court to act as advisory counsel.
The finale Of the trial was that q fine OF

captured property was ordered to be re-

There seems to be no extravaganza into
which the impudence Of the negro will not
lead him. Quite an excitement was pro-
duesd on the streets yesterday by one OF
these gentry pretending to be a revenue
officer, undertaking to overhaul !oad OF
whiskey on its way from neighoor'ng
dis.;llery to the rectifying establishment.
He made the attempt as many ss three
times, ordering the driver to stop, ana
threatening, unless he did, to roll the BAR
rels out on the street. On the last occasion
he was arrested, and to-day he was ex-
amined. His defence was that he had been
imbibing so freely that he hardly knew
what he was doing. Without rendering
auy decision, the Mayor continued the case
till Monday morning.
