Mr.. RICHARD FLEMING, superintendent
OF the Cunningham peach orchard at Wins
ings, in this county, killed two wild turkeys
last week. They came into his yard and
engaged in a fight with his turkeys. One
OF them weighed fifteen pounds after it was
dressed. An editor never has any such
luck as that. We might hunt whole
