Mr. r. H. Johnson, of this city, tells
us that Colonel Bloodworth was gun
smith by trade, and made the wonder

the hunting Of bears, panthers, and deer.
II is said he was a man Of considerable
means. was a member of the General

the capital city he named for him. There
is a Boodworth street in Raleigh. Ira
dition has it that while the Major was
hunting once at Point Peter Opposite
Wilmington his dogs treed several coons
in big hollow cypress-tree. IL
seems there was a big hole under the
root of the tree leading up into the hol-
low of the tree. and that Major Blood
worth made use of his knowledge OF
the tree TO try his gun on the British
soldiers when they came about the
water front during their occupation or
Wilmington. IL is said he had his
blankets and provisions i'm the tree, and
made it his hiding place while the
British were there.
