aud was wounded in the second days battle OF
Gettysburg a solid shot having passed through his
horse and injuring the calf Of Capt Eay's left leg.

tain has suffered much pain and has been almost
constantly under the doctors care. Some months
| ago the wound obliged him 10 leave his post in the
/ m0ncy-order department OF the New York Post
Office. few weeks ago Or. Mutt, who has been
treating Capt. Kay, told some Of his friends that
the only way 90 save the leg was by ranspinnGing
/ bits Of skin from other mems bodies. The Cap

teeEed, from whom selected bits OF skin, which
were applied to the sore and tightly bound 30 the

cl!led for before the operation IS completed but
there IS Ilue doubt that the Captains leg will be
saved.

he decidedly prefers The latter.
