Errors in Printing

We have.often felt mortified on looking over
paper. afterit was all struck Off to find varie
ty of errors more less important staring us in
The face, for which we were sure nobody would
forgive us. But we have long since learned to
think that nothing is perfect in this world, and
conscled ourselves with this reflection. Our eye
having just fallen upon the following in the
Scientific American. we eagerly avail ourselves of
this testimony in our fayor:-E1.
Some hundred years ago number of The Pro-
fessors of the Edinburgh University attempted 10
publish work which should be perfect specimen
OF typographical accuracy. Every precauiion was
taken to secure the desired result Six experienced
proof-ieaders were employed, who devoted hours
to the reading of each ppge. and after it was
thought 10 be perfect, /. posted up in the hall
OF the University, with notification that ESQ
would be paid to any person who would discover
an error. Each page was suffered to ,emain two
weeks in the place where it had been posted, aud
the Professors thought thet they had attained the
object for which they had been striving. When
the work was issued, it discovered that several
errors had been committed-one of which was i'll
the first line on the first page!

GREAT Ra1>s.-on Monday last. July 4, the
long and distressing drought was brought to an
end. heavy rain, apparently of wide extent,
fell, aud relieved the parched earth and decaying
vegetation. This was succeeded by another and
even greater outpouring of the clouds on Tuesday
accompanied by thunder, lightning snd wind.
Many trees and limbs were blown down.
We have much hope that these rains will revive
the prospects Of corn, aud that, with moderate
rains hereafter, telerable crop at least will be
made. The prospect was SO gloomy that within
few days corn rose here from rs cents 10 Sl,25 a
bnshel. As there is great deal OF last year,
corn on hand. we suppose the changed appearance
will bring the price down again.
During the storm small house was struck by
lightning and set on FIRE without much damage
A Telegraph post and tree were also struck

burg Express, that Mr.. Henry Brdsong, of Sussex
county, Va. and his little son, while layingin bed
on Friday night, were both shot through one OF the
windows of their cha:nter. The shooting was
done with a double barrel gun, heavily loaded
with buck shot. The load entered one leg of MIR.
Bison, at the thigh passed entirely through and
terribly acreated the other. Mr.. B. also received
an entire load in his abdomen, which proves that
both barrels of the gun were discharged. Their
wounds are considered mortal. Suspicion rests
upon two slaves

This shows the receipts last month of the two
roads, to be 1921, 1851, which will, tits understood
be increased by The official returns. The total re-
ceipts of June, OF last year, were S170.645 90
SO there is an increase this year of nearly S5100
and this, too, notwithstanding the falling off on
the Washington branch. and the low waters of
the Ohio river which has materially nterfered with,
indeed almost stopped the trade on it. The reduce
ton on The Washington branch is easily accounted
for. Congress was in session in June last year;
and then the National Convention met about that
time, and thus drew crowds OF travellers to this
city, TO be present at their meetings. This ac-
counts for the large receipts on the Washington
branch, in June, 1852. which were several thou
sand dollars more than were ever received in any
month before. as an evidence of what the in.
crease was in June of last year, we may note that
they were only $22,79l Sc in June, 1851.
In view of the facts, noticed, and the still large
receipts on the main stem and the Washington
branch, last month presents the most encouraging
and gratifying view of the prospects of the road,
and leaves no reason to doubt that its venues
will go on to increase, and will only be controlled
by the ability of the road to do the business that
will be offered TO it. Doing this no more need be
asked.-Baitimore Patriot.
