wILD-HoG KILLED.
For some time past there have been mys-
ferrous dcpredations upon the cOrn-helds,
melon and potato-Datches on tho Gdloln-
ing farms of DR.. George Potts and Mrs.
Andrews IN Chesterfield county. These
! deprodatious were always committed at
/ night, and for "a long time It seemed I'M
/ possible 10 detect the rOgues. IL Is estl-
mated that fully ten barrels of corn
were destroyed, besides n large quantity
/ of sweet potatoes ami melons. Careful
! investigation developed the fact that the
! depredators were several wild-hOgs, which
80 one III the vicinity could identify. A
{ hunting party was organized day or twO
ago. ard A boar weighing over two hun
| dred pounds was killed after % fierce fight
with the dogs. The beds Of several OF the
/ animals were found, but only one OF the
hogs was killed.

The planters are beginning to cut their
tobacco and during the next week will be
