FIREMENs BALL-We have only room
to say Of the Ball last night, that it was
well attended thanks to the Gentlemen
and Ladies of neighboring villages, and
double thanks to the Firemen of Coloma.-
There was not as many ladies present as
was anticipated, but the lack in numbers,
was counter-balanced with the accomplish
ed attention of those who were present.
The supper served up by our host of the
Georgetown Hotel was good: altogether we
think this party was one that will long be

visit, when he was formally discarded. The treat
ment made life burthen to him, and when he saw
DIR. Goodwin he asked how much laudanum it would
take to kill The Doctor answered him, and
thought no more OF it. On Tuesday morning, before
daylight, DR.. Goodwin heard the explosion of pis-
tol in Willoughby room, and fastening ascertain
the cause, found that WiIoughby had shot himself,
and was quite dead. In his room were discovered
two letters, to DR.. Goodwin and the other his
sister, in which the poor fellow stated that he had
tried laudanum, which proved mavaiIing, and now
he had resorted TO the pistol certain remedy for

From Dickens Household Words.
Childe Harold Corrected.

Before Byron is dismissed, must speak of one OF
the srangest misprints that perhaps has
red, for it was committed without being discovered
by the author, sensitive know he was, or by
the public, who haye for years admirngly quoted the
lines. The stanza which follows the one last cited
runs thus:
Thy shores are empires, changed in all thee
Assyria, CIR eece, Rome, Carthage, what are they
2he waters wasted them when they were tree,
And many tyrant since -"
A skillsul critic was very recently reading this,
and when he came to s'Thy waters wasted Them -
he paused. Wasted what! Where is it on record
that the Mediterranean sea has wasted the sh ores
that surround it! What part of the coast-Europe-
an, Asiatc or African-has been overwhelmed by the
tide, and then left desolate! The ruins of Tyre are
still landmark; the rock Of Saamis still overh,oks
the wave; the site Of Carthage remains. Tyrants
may have wasted those shores, but the waters
There must, then, be some mistake. Could the crit
ic have access to the original manuscript! 1t was
produced and examined, and as much to the surprise
of all present dare say it will be to the public,
the faulty line thus:
The washed them power when they were free,
And many tyrant since -"
The manuscript of another Of Byron's poems rscti-
fies a mistake which has been allowed to pass cur
rent in all the hitherto published editions of his
works. 1t occurs in the Prisoner Of Chlon:
'And thus together, yet apart,
Fetter'd in hand, but pin'd in heart"
For "pin'd" read 'sjoined," which comp letes
the antithesis.
