FANCY GAME.-We saw n couple Of
boxes Of choice game at Wells, Fargo
& Co.'S express office, Virginia, this
morning. One box contained about n
dozen terrapins, and the other was a
box OF bullfrogs. This fine lot Of fancy
game was from Winnemucca, con-
signed rs a choice present to c. c.
Pendergast, Wells, Fargo s. Co'sagent
ut Virginia. The turtles were healthy
looking old shellbacks, and rs to the
frogs, they were the finest we have
ever seen In this section. being rather
larger than those from Meadow Lake.
and not quite so l~ong-sparred and
clipper-buiit. They were very smooth
fellows, Of a lightbrownish green
color, notified with big black spots,
and the expression Of their counte-
nances was quite ferocious a they
gritted their teeth at everybody who
came peeping ut them through the stats
covering the top Of the box.
LIVELY BATTLE.-About IL o'clock
A. NJ. yesterday a couple Of men had a
particularly animated fight OH the rail
road at Virginia, near the Hale Il Nor
cross works. They commenced with
hitting out handsomely from the Shout
der. getting in some excellent hits Oh
both sides, but they soon allowed the
engagement to degenerate into n clinch
and rough-and-tumble affair. They
gouged, bit, dug, scratched and rolled
up and down the track for some dis
tance, to the great delight Of quite a
numerous audience, and both got the
worst Of it-sometimeS II being on
top and sometimes the other, aud then
both. The combatants were just max
ing a final effort to swallow each other
when the battle was brought to a sum-
mary and sudden termination by the
wife Of one Of them rushing in, snatch
Ing him bald-headed, and jerking him
away toward home.-
