An Amateur Gon-Makeb.— We predict 
that the young man will be heard from again 
some day : 
Carl, a seventeen-year-old son of Professo 1 " 
Ed. Muller, of this city, cut down an apple 
tree which stood in his father's yard the 
other day. From a portion of the tree he 
whittled a full sized gun-stock, whlfch for 
shape and general workmanship would do 
credit to a skillful artisan. Then ho found a 
rusty, demoralized-looking old gun-barrel 
lying around loose somewhere, and by apply- 
ing plenty of perseverance and oil succeed- 
ed in making it look almost ns good as new. 
Next a sccond-kaud lock was purchased for 
twenty-live cents and carefully fitted to the 
stock. After the amateur g tinsmith had the 
weapon in perfect working order, a bit’s 
worth of varnish was applied to the wooden 
portion, and the gun was finished. It had 
cost this enterprising and ingenious young 
man hut 37J cents to manufacture a weupou 
that shoots truer and stronger than nine out 
of ten guns fresh from the factory. Master 
Carle, while out hunting a day or two since, 
killed fourteen robins w ith his new gun, and 
thus thoroughly proved its shooting qualities.
