not. We who were 10 favor of its remain

an appropriation from one lottery, and

that Mr.. T. +. Bayard now recommends
the division Of the county. Had he done

4 Battle i'm the Air.

A most terrific battle occurred between
two large brown eagles in the vicinity Of
the lakes above Virginia, on last Wednes'
day evening. When first noticed the
birds were soaring one above the other, at
an altitude of perhaps three-fourths of a
mile, and seemed on sail for pleasure
Presently the uppermost bird, closing its
broad wings, shot down like a meteor for
two or three hundred feet, and with a
wild, piercing scream, lit fairly upon the
back of the other bird. Turning with the
rapidity of lightning, the victim clutched
it, adversary with talons and beak, and a
fierce struggle ensued. The savage yells,
the striking Of huge wings, the showers
of falling feathers, gave unmistakable evil
dence of the ferocity with which the con-
test was waged.
As they fought they fell earthwards,
and when within five hundred feet of the
ground they become disentangled, and
each swooped upwards again. Now fol
lowed an interesting trial as to which
should gain sufficient altitude to make
another plunge. The circling Of the
smaller was rapid and close, while Cat
of his antagonist was made with greater
limits, and his ascension was quickest ac-
complshed. The largest eagle was soon
fully one-half mile high, and some hun
dreds of feet above his victim. lowering
in mid air for a moment. as if making
sure of his aim, he again darted
down upon his enemy, striking him as be-
fore with force that seemed
sufficient to kill of itself Again
they grappled and fought like winged
DEMONSTRATING falling and striking

minutes. They were now near the largest

weak, and was evidently nearly van.
pushed, while his more powerful agrees
or seemed to wage the battle with in.
creased vigor,
Another moment and the conquering
monarch loosed his hold, and, with an
exultant shout of victory, scared upward
The battle was ended-his prisoner, limp
and lfeless, fell into the waters of the lake
with a splash and floated on the surface
without struggle. We, with our com
panion, tried to get the dead eagle, but
were unable to do SO without swimming
for it. Both birds were of very large size,
the largest measuring, we think, fully
twelve feet, from tip TO tip. The spectacle
was exciting in the extreme, and the vic
tory tragically complete. The battle had
likely commenced before we discovered
them, as it does not seem possible for one
to kill the other in so short time, al.
though the fighting was terrific. - Virginia
