A Ball Removed After Twenty-one Years
J. G.. Richardson, who during the
war was second lieutenant of company
+, second Uuited States Colored In
fantry. was wounded i'm an engagement
at New Market, Va, Sept. 20, 1861. He
was struck by mimic ball in the left
breast near the arm pit, and the course
of the ball could not be traced. Rich
ardson rallied. and by dint of courage
has kept on his feet most of the time
since. It-appears that the ball lodged
near the left lung. and has caused such
painful results that seemingly he must
die in these attacks, but each time he
has rallied. a large portion of the lung
became consolidated. About the first
of November last other conditions APP
peared, and later Oh an enlargement
was found on the left side of the back.
The attending physician, suspecting the
presence of the ball, made examination
with the probe and struck the ball, and
soon skilfnlly removed it. The missile
weighed nearly one ounce, aud has been
