BEiujtKkßLK Horn os Life. —Maj. George
N. Lewis, of the 12th Regiment, is in town,
slopping at the XJ. S- Hotel. His remarkable
wound promises to heal and his life will be
saved. Not one man in ten thonsand would
survive snch a wound. It was a canister shot,
weighing about four ounces, and made a hole
clear through him, shattering his collar-bone
and shoulder-blade, and splintering, his spine.
It did not displsce'the Tertehrse, which would
probably have ended his life suddenly, but it
has left a hole through him, and it is said that
even now a stick can be passed through it.—
