The Feat of n Richmond Deer
Hunter.

AMELIA COUNTY. VA. october o.
(Special)-Dld YOU ever "chase the fallow
deer" or hunt wild turkeys IN
Amelia county? II not. you have missed
some fine sport. 1t has been the good
fortune Of your correspondent to visit
this paradise" Of hunters during the
last week. and he must recount the eX-
ploits of at least one days hunt Seve-
raj gentlemen have been hunting near
Beaver Pond. i'm This county, and some
remarkable shots have been made. The
"honors." so far, have been carried of
by Mr. John organ, a wel.-known bust
ness young man Of Richmond city. who
is one of the party Of huntsmen, he
having broken the record" a. an expert
long-range deer-kiler. The party had
succeeded in demolishing a flock Of Wild
turkeys near the AppOmattoX river when
Mr. John organ had his attention at
tracted by splash in the river, ana
saw a deer swimming in the direction
in which ne was standing. Mr.. organ
quickly slipped two charges OF buck
shot into his gun. The deer, attracted
by this movement, at once sprang upon
a small erass-piot on the opposide side
of the river. Mr. organ quick as flash,
gave MN the contents VI Nilf hAiAf-s AiiN
deer made a dash up the bluf a hundred
yards Off, and Mr. organ, with unerrng
aim. gave him the contents Of the second
barrel. Mr.. Walter BlantOn and Mr..
John organ proceeded TO the bluff ana
found his buckship dead. The horses OF
the party had bcoh left some distance
away, and now came the tug Of war
how to get the deer down the blui. But
necessity is the mother Of invention
YOU know, and Messrs. organ and Blan-
ton were equal TO the occasion. Taking
their cravats from their nccks, they
made a small rope, tied the bucks legs
together. passed a strong pole between
them. and each with an end Of the pole
upon his shoulder. "toted' the deer to
nechboring farmhouse, where they pro-
cured a wagon and conveyed it to the
hospitable residence Of Mr. Walter Blan-
ton. where the party were handsomely
entertained for the night.
The deer was weighed and clipped the
scales at 225 pounds. Mr. John Vaughn,
one OF the party of huntsmen. who has
killed over l50 deer declares Mr. organ
has made one Of the most remarkable
shots on record.
