Bloonnburg Man, Wouuded at South Moun tain, Can't Lose Trophy. With a Confederate oullet in his neaci tuat has been there 44 years and six months, Abraham Straus ser, of No. 2S West Third street, hale and hearty, celebrated the seventy fifth anniversary cf bis birth on Sunday. At 30 years of age, on November 5, 1861, he en listed in the Union army, and at the battle ot South Mountain, on September 14, 1862, Mr. Strausser was struck squarely between the eyes wun a mime Dan, and was left lying on the field for dead. He was unconscious for two days then, when hj did finally come to his senses, he was discovered by his comrades and carried to a hospi tal. At the hospital he hovered be tween life and death for nine weeks but finally recovered and was dis charged from the service. Since that time Mr. Strausser has spent all his lite in Columbia County. On several occasions he has had X-ray photographs taken of his head, and the ball was plainly located between the roof of the mouth and the frontal bone of the skull. The photographs were made by eminent experts, and they at said it was a wonder that he was not instantly killed. PUBLIC LIBRARY REPORT.
