The condition Of Mr.. William Puryear,
says the Norfolk landmark, who was SHOT
In that city on the night OF the 2lst ultlmo
by Andrew 4. Elliott, and who was re-
moved on the following day to the Hos
nita, Of st. Vincent de Paul, Is such as to
cause increasing anxiety az to his ultimate
recovery. 1t Is thought that the ball
which entered the shoulder did the most
damage. The surgeons have not been
able TO remove either OF the bullets. The
paralysis of the wounded mans body from
| the chest down, which cnsued soon after
the shooting, has not left him, and Dotf
| wounds are suppurating, 40 1t Is stated.

lently for some little distance; but for
tunaiely he had on very loose pair OF
boots. and with an effort managed 10 draw
his foot out Of the stirrup, and thereby es-
Gaping without material injury. Had il
