which was treating him.

Mr.. Blanc: - s
New ORLEANS, July IA, lS7l.-This is to
certify that A. J. Blanc, aged fiftyfour
years, died this day, of general debility.
DR.. Avilla sworn-I was present at the
post norton examination on MI. Blanc. In
my opinion the deceased died Of intercur-
rent pneumonia. / did not examine the
structure. but when / saw the lungs and
liver of deceased. | gave my certificate.
The disease ,cas chronic. The first thing L
examined was the wound; deceased did not
die of it, as it did not penetrate far enough
to cause death. | was astonished at the
verdict of the Coroner's jury; attach my
certificate as part of my testimony. No
other physician that | know OF assisted at
the post norton examination. L examined
the deceased very closely: his diseased con-
dltiOn of the liver was enough to produce
death. Deceased had the appearance OF
man who drank hard
DR.. Formento sworn-On or about June
5 attended on Mr.. Blanc, on Basin street,
and examined the nature of his wounds.
Found him suffering from the effects of
wound which he had received shortly be-
fore. Said wound was situated in the
region OF the liver, and presented the char
acter OF a penetrating wound OF the abdo-
men. The man recovered from the effects
of the wound; the certificate declaring him
out of danger was given about two weeks
after. About three weeks after he was able
to sit up and walk about in his room. About
that time the patient complained of diff
Guilty in passing water: instruments were for
several days used in relieving him. l found
that the difficulty was occasioned by
structure of many years standing. l pro
posed to the patient an operation for the
permanent cure of the structure, which,
although he was in state OF bad health,
might have been complete cure. The
operation was not performed. About that
time left the city. The day of my arrival
home. one week ago last Friday, l heard
that Mr. Blanc had died He did not die of
| the effects of the wound referred to.
The following is the certificate of DR..
Formento, on which the accused was origi-
nally released on bonds
l hereby certify that Mr.. j. A. Blanc, re
siding on Basin street, No. 81, who was
wounded on the fifth of June, has sutf-
GENTLY recovered from the effects of his
wound TO declare him out of danger.

SUMNER EXCURsIONs.-Our firemen seem
| to be about the only organized class of men
who understand and appreciate the pleas
ures of summer excursions. They appoint
committees of arrangements, having first
| agreed on programme, and by this means
are enabled TO indulge in delightful trips at
small expense. The benefits growing out
of these diversions are not to be computed
in dollars.
Mississippi No. 2, we hear it rumored
will, early next month, indulge in an ex,
tended voyage, something like this: The
steamboat Ariel will be chartered, with
crew and fuel: the company will take pas
sage in Lake Pontchartrain; steam down to
the mouths of the Mississippi, thence to the
| West, stopping at the most charming islands
and bays, as suits their pleasure, remaining
away from home about week. The boat
will be provisioned, SO that the pleasure
seekers will not be compelled to call on any
hotel. Fishing tackle and chicken-fxing'
will be supplied in abundance. This pro
gramme may be improved on before the
hour for departure. A code of laws will bt
adopted to govern during the time. O.
course they will have royal time, and they
deserve it, taking brass band along tt
make all things harmonious.
