at LeClaire, as we expected, was a decided success. Everything passed off very pleasantly. Lieut. Huntington was presented with a flag, in a few remarks from Miss Payson, to which he replied. The recipients, we understand, were between $60 and $70, which is nearly, if not quite, clear of all expense. Good for the patriotic ladies of LeClaire!
