Soldier's Relief

Twenty-five feather pillows and three pairs of cotton socks, collected and prepared by Miss Burns and Miss Saffe, of Buffalo, have been left with Mr. Wm. Van Tuyl, who has delivered them to the Sanitary Commission. A similar but larger contribution was received from these young ladies a short time since. Their patriotic and benevolent efforts are worthy examples for others to follow.
