RETURN OF Mr.. BococK.-Hon. Thomas
5. Bocock, who was seriously injured by
the disaster at the Capitol on the 9th
ultimo, returned to his home in this city on
yesterday. MIR. Bocock was accommodated
with a special car on the Richmond and
Danyille and Southside railroads. His in
jured limb, we learn, is still somewhat bent,
and crutches are necessary in walking, but
his general condition is most favorable, and
confident expectations are entertained that
before long he will he wholly restored and
enabled to Use his limbs without pain or re-
straint. The many admirers attracted to
Mr.. Bocock by his genius, ability, and long
years Of distinguished public service, will
be ,rejoiced to hear of these favorable re-
% ports OF his condition.-Lynchburg Repub-
