A LARGE EAGLE KILLED. 

It is Said the Big Bird Had Carried Off Many Lambs. 

Mr. S.J. Chandler, of this city, exhibited at Ths State office this morning an immense gray eagle that was killed last week by his brother, Mr. O.M. Chandler, on the old William Dandridge estate, in New Kent county.

 The bird was probably the largest ever killed in this section. It measured 7 feet 61 inches from tip to tip. The talons were 13 inches in length and the beak was of great size and apparent power.

 These powerful birds of prey are reported as very plentiful in that county, and Mr. Chandler thinks this huge fellow has carrien off at least a hundred lambs. He reported that eagles destroyed about 200 lambs in his neighborhood last spring. They are reported as being able to fly away with a young sheep as easily as a hawk with a chicken.

 Mr. Chandler, who is quite a successful hunter, was out with his gun and dog when the bird flew over him and he shot it. He killed another eagle the same day. 

The skin will be stuffed and preserved.

And yes, a 'Grey Eagle' is the same thing as a Bald Eagle
