Advertiser tells the following : "On Friday, May 27th, Moses George, of this village, a veteran of the war of 1812, who has liassed his eightieth vear, extracted from his groin a bullet which was buried there by the rifle ot an Indian at the battle of Chippewa on ths 5th day of July, 1815. The bulet struck the inside of the right leg near the groin as the soldier was wheeling into line and badly shattered the' thigh bone. The bullet wciglis a full half ounce and is concave on one side, showing the im press ot the bone which it struck. It is somewhat blackened, but beneath a thin coating the lead is as pure and bright as it was over half a century ag j. The results of the .wound made by the bullet were very severe. The limb has shortened si.v inches or more, -and below tlie thigh and reaching nearly to the knee is thickly scarred, where pieces of the shattered bone, over fifty iu all, have from, time to time worked out. The bullet did not Teturn by its original entrance, but came to tlie surface about four inches above and was taken out by the veteran himself without the aid ot instruments, lie was overjoyed to get his eyes on the old eticmy who had worried him so long." .
