A secondary source shows the 16-year-old as named Mathilda Amelia (i.e., female). It's not that unusual for an enumerator to accidentally put down the wrong gender, but a female wouldn't have been given an occupation.

5. 1860 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #37 of 40): Democrat P.O., Ivy & Flat Creek Division, Buncombe Co., NC, Roll M653_889, p. 341B/684, PN 38, 246/246, enumerated 16 Aug 1860, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1860 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•
