At the age of sixty-four, TURENNE was killed by a cannon-ball, while reconnoitring the enemy's batteries near the village of Salzbach in Germany, on the 27th of July, 1675.
"Then who the devil is it? By Jupiter! I believe it is Osman." "I dare not tell you his name; he has been reconnoitring, and has had narrow escapes." "That's not what I want to know.
