CHNcEs OF BEING KILLED IN War.

CHNCEs OF BEING KILLED IN Var.
Marshal SAKE, a high authority
in such things, was insthe habit Of
saying that to kill a man in battle.
the mans weight in lead must be
expended. A French Medical and
Surgical Gazette, published at Ly-
ems. says this fact was verified at
Solterino, ever with the recent
great improvement in firearms
Ihe Anstrians fired 100000
reuncs. The loss Of the French
and Italians was 1000 killed and
100000 wounded, Each man hit
cost 700 rounds, and every man
cost 1900 rounds The weight
IT balls is one ounce thus, we find
that Il reapired, on an average, 272
pounds Of lead to kill a man. If
any Of our friends should get into
a military fight, tbey should feel
comfort in the fact that 700
shots may he fired at tilem before
they are hit, aud 1900 bel6xe they
are rubbed out.
