If Mr.. Dwinncll of Morri>villr. had kept
his tllt-iron on exhibition the second day
he would found many ladies Interested il

the small attendance of ladies the first day
and 50 followed the illu~trious example o.
Earle, and run for Morrisvlle, " we SAW
nothing of him OF his tllt-iron Oh Thurs
day We We're sOrrv for his absence both
