A novel wager was made at Sale a few days ago between two well-known local cattle-dealers, one a butoher and the other a grazior. The butcher had purchased 100 bullocks from the grazier a few weeks before, and the latter wagered that the purchaser would not find 10 bullocks in the balance of 37 to be delivered which would weigh on an avorage 800 lb. The first bullock weighed 8901 b., the next 8841 b., and the next about 9001 b. The grazier acknowledged his loss without going any further. It may be mentioned that 800 lb. is considered a good we'^ht for a bullock. T.
