craftsmanship Extraordinary.

AN elderly man named Beckwith, re-
sizing IN one of the peninsula counties,
came to this city last Thursday, says the
Richmond Wing, on business He brought
with him an old-fashioned flint lock rifle.
TO have stock and lock put 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 mark smanship he
boosted Of, offered him $40 to repeat some
OF them, to which the other two added AZ
between them. The trial came off in an
old field half mile below Rockets and
was witnessed by about dozen per.
sons.
The old flint lock 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 fifty yards distance,
holding the potato between his thumb and
tore-iinger The rifle cracked and the
potato fell eleven in three or four pieces.
one OF the large pieces was thrown in the
air, the marksman keeping at the same
distance, and again the shot told An
inch and half auger was then produced,
and hole bored in the fence behind which
was fastened piece ofwhite paper. At
the distance of sixty yards the marksman
sent ball clear through the aperture,
piercing the paper. At the fourth shot,
from sixty yards distance. the bowl of
pipe, which the son was smoking was
crushed. At the fifth shot a copper
cent was thrown in the air and hit.
The sixth and seventh shots were deleyer-
ed 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 modification, and laid the
blame upon by-stander who at the criti.
cal moment sneezed loudly. The next at
tempt however, was an entire success
The old man declined any further trials
OF his skill, and, when offered money to re-
peat his first ieat of shooting II potato
from his sons hand, he refused, saving he
didn't care to try such experiments unless
his weapon was freshly cleaned. The exhi-
bitlon was the more remarkable from the
TACT that the marksman was an old man at
least fifty. His eye, however, is II clear,
bright gray. His appearance is that of n
poor farmer The young man showed not
the least tremor nor anxiety during the
dangerous experiment upon himself. The
old man referring to his son, said, Bob
can shoot just as well as l can"
