WILD GAM&.-Ihc recent severe weather.
1T is feared, has almost exterminatcd in our
Virginia mountains several species of wild
game in which they have hitherto abounded
The town of Winchester has been literally
overrun with pheasants, partriGges and rab-
bits and the forwarding merchants from that
point have been sending them off by the car
load. 1t is said to be more profitable than
even the ao5p>pole trade of that rog:oa.-
Our young townsuan, Johnny Haincs, has re-
celved and disposed of during the past week
over 500 rabbits with cartridges innumcrab!c.
and has still "a few more left" by the way,
if there is any thing in the game line to be
purchased, at price that our citizens can
afford to pay, it can always be found at his

Ice BREAKING Up.-The recent breaking
up of the ice in the Shenandoah river has
done considerable damage in some places. and
caused great inconvenience in others. Ferry
boats have been swept away and lodged on
Ice-drifts, in some cases, miles below the
ferries to which they belong, and the roads
along the river banks in many places are ren>
dered utterly impossible from the immense
quantities of ice washed ashore and banked
up in the roadways. In some places below
the Bloomery Mills the ice in the road is
banked up to Tho heighth of ten or twelve
feet.
