O,Connell.s Duel.

Mr.. Daniel O'Connell, Derrynane

Liberator, writes to the Pail Mall Ga
Zette as follows:
I'm your issue of the Goth 1 see it
stated, in reference to a paper read
by DR.. Houston before the Irish Liter
airy society. that only two Catholics
were present at the duel between my
grandfather and D'Esterre, one of
whom was Mr.. Terrence O'Reilly, 'one
of the I.iberator's seconds, and it was
Mr.. OReilly's pistols that O'Connell
used that day. and which Mr.. O'Reil-
ly's grandson retains at the present
day For aught l know. Mr.. O'Reilly
may have been at the duel. as were
several other Catholics. but he GER
tainly was not one of O'Connell's sec
onds. 1t was not the custom to have
more than one second. and O'Connell's
only second was Major MacNamarl.
Nor was it Mr.. O'Reilly's pistols the
l.ibel:ltOr used. but his own. which
have never left the possession of his
family. and are now in this house. The
pistol from which the fatal shot was
fired is marked With the letter d. for

In reply to this letter. Miss Bridey

no doubt that my grandfather-whO
, was one of Daniel O'Connell's great
est friends-was also his second on
that day, and it was by my grand
fathers special request that the Liber-
ator used his pistols. My grandfather

A REMARKABLE CASE
A Man Shot Through Stomach, In.
testines, Liver and Kidneys in a
Fair Way of Recovering.

The following is reproduced from
the Progress of the 20th by request:
Some time ago the Progress con-
tanned an account of man, negro,
who had been shot through the bowels,
the bullet making thirteen holes
through his intestines. He was taken
to the South Mississippi Infirmary,
and after his intestines were taken
out the bullet holes were sewed up
and the intestines replaced. The man
recovered and is as we'll today as he
ever was.
But more remarkable case than
that is now at the same infirmary.
Twelve days ago a man was shot
through the abdomen. The ball
passed through the stomach, the liver,
the intestines, his right kidney and
was found lodged under the skin just
above the hip bone. He was carried
to the South Mississippi Infirmary
