SHOOTING A SHARPSHOOTER.
How an Illinois Captain Put n Stop tc
His Deadly Operations.

How an Illinois Captain Put n Stop to
His Deadly Operations.
An interesting account is furnished by an
exchange of the GOODNESS and ingenuity with
which an Illinois Captain put a stop to the
work OF a Southern sharpshooter who was
engaged in a game at which more than one
could play. The Captain was sitting on a
turned-up bucket, taking his morning coffee.
As he threw back his head in drinking a
whiz was heard. ball sped by within
half an inch of his face, directly across the
eyes, and took effect in little dogwood tee
beside him.
The Captain rose quietly, and taking a
ramrod, stuck it in the ground so that its
top would be in the space lately occupied
by his nose; he then went behind the tree
and sighted from the bullet-hole over the
top of the rod, thus aScertaning the direction
taken by the ball in its flight. Directly in
this line rose the top OF large oak, with
great sheets and streamers OF Southern moss
hanging dependent from its boughs.
Boys" said the Captain, "our man is
among the branches of that tree yonder.
Now" taking a soldiers cap and placing it
on the end OF knolted stick, you'll all
in view he will fire again. There's your
chance let drive"
When all was ready he slowly elevated
the cap until just in sight from the tree.
A puff OF white smoke burst from its
leaves, and the cap turned round on its stick
support, letting the daylight through Il large,
jagged hole in its crown.
A moment later six Springfield rifles spoke
from the rail-plle. and man dropped from
the oak tree, clutching wildly at moss and
branches as he fell. His last shot was fired
