THE GRATITUDE OF AN TsRAELITE.-A
correspondent of the New Orleans Democrat
recalls the gratitude of Judah Touro.
Shepherd, q Christian, "a native OF
this county, who had saved his life at
the risk of his own. Mr.. Touro and lis
friend were under FIRE at the battle of New
Orleans, and the former was wounded badly.
Mr. Shepherd repaired to the spot in the open
field where the mutilated and fearfulIy
wounded body of his friend lay, deserted by
surgeon and every one else, and, lifting hun
on his shoulders, bore him to a cart,.in which
he brought him to New Orleans. When Mr..
Touro died he left Mr. Shepherd an enormous
estate, the rent roll Of which was at least
500, 900 per annum. This property, which
is on Canal street, is known as the ''Tuuro
Buildings" and is ftly characterized as "a
monument of the gratitude Of an 1sraelite,
who was indeed without guile, and of the
fidelity of a Christian who, at great risk to
himself, rendered an act of Kindness to sup
posed dying man."
