Mrs. LandVOigt became very sick in the forenoon of Saturday and suffered so intensely she had to re- turn home, amid many regrets. She had been for several days at a high strain ut physical and mental action, ir her determination to make the occasion a complete success, The noble and un ceasiug efforts of Mrs Landyoigt and Mrs. Folore had given the affair such a certain velocity, that no retardttion was felt. Al the ladies did grandly and nobly their part for the cause, which was of itself both grand and noble.
