Shooting with a Flint-LOck.

The Richmond CFa.) Wing talks III this
wise tan elderly man named Beckwith,
residing in one of the Peninsula counties,
came to this city last Thursday on busi-
ness He brought with him an old-fashoncd
fint-lock rife to have stock ard lock putt
on On the cars he fell in conversation
with party of three gentlemen from this
city, when one of them, to test the reality
Of some of the extraordinary feats of the
craftsmanship he boasted of, offered him
sl0 to repeat some of them, to which the
other two added So between them. The
trial came off in an old field half mile be-
low Rockets, and was witnessed by about
a dozen persons The old fiint-locll was
fired seven times, and only once missed its
aim. The old gentleman, after making two
shots at small objects to one side, to get his
hand steady, as he said, handed his son
potato. and stationed him at fifty yards dis
tancc, holding the potato between his thumh
and finger. The rife cracked, and the po-
tato fell clovcn in three or four pieces. One
of the larger pieces was then thrown into
the air, the marksman keeping at the same
distance and again the shot told. An inch
and half auger was then produced and ID
hole bored in the fence, behind which was
fastened piece of white paper At dis
tance Of sixty yards the marksman sent
ball clear through the aperture, piercing
the paper At a fourth shot, from sixty
yards distance, the bowl Of pipe, which
the son was smoking, was crushed. At the
fifth shot copper cent was thrown into
the air and hit The sixth and seventh
shots were delivered at blackened FIVE
cent nickel piece thrown up by the SON,
standing about thirty yards Off At the
first attempt the shot missed The old
gentleman showed considerable mortifica,
ton, and laid the blame upon bystandcr
who at the critical moment sneezed loudly.
| The next attempt, however, was an entire
success. The old man declined any further
trails of his skill, and when offered sum
of money to repeat his first feat of shoot
ing potato from his sons hand, he refused,
saying he didn't care to try such expert
mcnts uhfess his weapon was freshly cleaned
The exhibition was the more remarkable
| from the fact that the marksnSn was an
old man, at least fifty. His eye, however,
is clear, bright gray. His appearance is
that of poor farmer The young man
showed not the least tremor or anxiety dur
ing the dangerous experiment upon HIM
self The old man, referring to his scst,
said, Bob can shoot just as well as |
can.
