rimental to the gentlemen who
have had that Institution incharge

visit to his son, expecting to ac
company his wire back home.
Soon after his arrival atParrell
he
contracted influenza, which
was followed by pneumonia, and
lor some time his recovery was
considered very doubtful. How
ever, the disease yielded and he
was nursed back to health and
strength, and last Saturday, the
venerable Confederate veteran,

nied them on their return, pass
