A BIT OF ANCIENT LEGIsLATIoN.-From
the acts Of assembly in the colony Of Virginia,
more than hundred years ago, the Piedmont
Eirginian takes the following Where's, it
has been represented to this present General
Assembly by the inhabitants Of the counties of
Culpeper and Orange that they used formerly
to catch large quantities of fish in the river,
Rarpidan, to the great relief and satisfaction
of themselves and families, and they are de-
prived of that providential suecour by several
grist mills that have lately been erected on the
said river. whereby the passage of fish up the
same is quite obstructed Be it therefore en-
acted, that the owner or proprietor of all and
any mill erected on the said river Rappidan,
shall in the space of six months Gom and after
the passage of this act, make an opening or
slope in their respective mill dams at least ten
feet wide, sufficient to let fish pass over such
mill dams, and If any owner or proprietor of
any such mill shall neglect or refuse to make
such opening or slope in his or their mill dams
within the time aforsaid. any such owner or
proprietor shall forfeit and pay the sum of ten
pounds for every ten days he or they shall 80
neglect, or refuse, one moiety to our Lord the
King, his heirs and successors, for the use Of
the poor of the said counties Of Culpeper and
Orange and the other moiety to the informer,
to be recovered with cost by action of debt or
information, in any court of record within this
Colony and Dominion.

A SHARK-HUNT AT NoRFoLK.-The Nor
folk (Va) Journal of yesterday gives the fol-
lowing description of shark-hunt IN that har
Dor the day before:
Yesterday morning school of sharks was
observed in, the river opposite Campbell 8
wharf So bold were they that several followed
the ferryboat in the slip at every trip, seeming
to greatly delight in swimming in the wake of
the boat. A number of persons provided with
harpoons and lines went out in boats to try
their hands at capturing sharks In short
time young white man named Thomas sue
ceeded in driving harpoon into the back of
one of them. When the fish felt the barbed
iron enter its flesh it started off down the river
at rafting pace, drawing the boat after it,
1t soon became exhausted, however, and was
easily towed to McCullough's wharf, upon
which it was hauled and dispatched. On being
measured it was found to be eight feet three
inches long, and fifty FIVE inches In circumfer-
epee at the largest part Of the body. 1t was
then towed around to Campbell's wharf, and
drawn up on the land. Hundreds of people
visited the wharf for the purpose of seeing the
monster. 1t was cut open and the liver taken
out Nearly half bushel of small fish was
found in its capacious nav. Another shark
was struck by Mr. Thomas, but it broke the
line to which the harpoon was attached and es-
capped, taking the harpoon along with it.

DEAD SHor.-In Liberty, Clay county, on
Friday, Miss Julia Wills, beautiful and &C;
compished young lady of seventeen years, killed
her brother, aged twenty two. At about 6
o'clock in the morning dispute arose between
Miss Wills and her brother in regard to the
conduct of their youngest sister, who had been
severely whipped by him. The young man,
who has had the reputation of being quarrel
some, became very angry, and seizing an axe
raised it with the evident Intention Of striking
her. She screamed violently and rushed toward
the house, closely followed by her brother. On
reaching the house she seized shotgun and
warned him not to make any further demon
strations or she would kill him. He paid no
attention to her admonition, but advanced, and
as he did so she pulled the trigger. Wills fell
dead, the contents of the gun having entered
his neck short distance below the chin. There
was not word spoken. She is crazed with
grief sharp watch is kept upon her move
ments to prevent her from committing suicide.
An inquest was held on the body Of young
Wills yesterday, and verdict returned of justi-
fable homicide. de.-Kansos City Times.
