Joined the Fiftieth regiment, which had besn

A lettcr from Mrs. Jehn L Sullivan, dated
Contrevllle, IL I., January 20, has been re
ceived In Uosten. After relerrlng te her
property In this city she said:
" I ee by the New Yerk Herald that Sul
llvan says he has a broken arm and cannot
fight. It Is all a II". I knew his old dodge
nnd this Is ene et them. Patsey Cardiff was
tee much ler him, and he Invented the lame
arm idea te save himself from a big whip
ping. I remembcr ene time when he met
Mitchell he told me that the Kngllshmsn
would have dene him up In ene mere round.
"That is Jehn L. Hullivan all eer. He
Jumjisnta man at the start and usually flu flu
lhes him in the first or second round, or
makes him unablote.do much righting. If
he falls te use his cneuiy up at the end et
three rounds Hulllvan grows scared, loses his
wind nnd cries baby, the wsy he did In Min
neapolis. 1 tolleu that Patsey Cardiff can
whip Jehn L , and I am glad el It H's is a
brute and a coward."

something of the kind might be expected,
