Sergeant Doolittle

Our gallant young soldier friend, Harry Doolittle, arrived in town yesterday from Cincinnati. He has very nearly recovered from the severe wounds he received at Fort Donelson, though still a trifle lame. We congratulate him on his restoration to health, and wish him yet many long years of usefulness and honor.
