The 'veteran" Col Gleason, made his ap'
pearance in our streets Saturday after an
absece of over three mouths. For fifty
wears the Colonel has been in the habit OF
making weekly visits to Burlington. But

Friends wondered, politicians grew sad
and there was much tribulatiOn in social
circles. 1t was feared that "Rolla" had
succumbed to the advance Of age; but
not so he is in better health than for
years past, and has been devoting his
time "religiously," to improving his large

to realize much pleasure and profit in his
declining years. The Colonel assures us
that he will soon resume his regular
visits. May he live to enjoy many of
them.
