Deer hunt.

--The annual deer hunt came off at Crawford's Springs last week. There were thirty gentlemen in the company and thirty dogs. In five days twenty-nine deer were shot, and twenty-two cut up for distribution. The old Nimrod of hunters, Mr. Dabney Carr, of this county — now, we believe, in the eighty-sixth year of his age--killed one of the largest and fattest of the bucks, and his servant man, accompanying him, killed another. Mr. Carr is stout and athletic, stands erect and walks with firmness and vigor. He looks likely to survive many more annual deer hunts. Mr. War wick Woods killed three deer on the first day, and others killed one such.--Charlottesville (Va.) Jeffersonian.
