ssFronteer, sharpshooters.

Whenever the United States has been
at war with any other country it has
always been a matter for serious COM
plant on the other side that the Amer
leans take accurate aim before firing,
with extremely fatal results. How ex-
cellent was the craftsmanship Of the
volunteers on Bunker Hill is matter
of record. There is an interesting en-
try in the diary of John narrower, an
indentured schoolmaster of Virginia.
Colonel Washington of this colony, .
he wrote, being appointed generals
simo Of all the American forces raised
and to be raised, made demand of
500 rifiemen from the frontiers Of this
colony. But those that insisted on go
ing far exceeded the number wanted,
when, in order to avoid giving offense,
the Commanding Officer chuse his
company by the following method.
s'He took a board of a foot square
and with chalk drew the shape of a
moderate nose in the center and nailed
it up to a tree at 100 yards distance,
and those who came highest the mark
with a single ball was to go. But by
the first forty or fifty that fired the
nose was all blown out of the board,
and by the time his company was up
the whole board had shared the same
fate
