Many OF our readers may have noticed the
Typographical Errors
in the JOURNAL yesterday morning, under the
head Of Gossip" Had the types not made
Us use shocking bad grammar" we might
let it pass unnoticed. So, to say nothing of
wrong letters, we correct one wrong word.
Steamboats, rum" should have been steam
boats ,oere," and the subject Of Coal" was
introduced, most abruptly, the previous line
having been wholly omitted. Errors will oc-
cur sometimes, though it is not often, as in
this case, that they are caused by the negli-
gence Of compositor. But errors creep in
to all the affairs of life, and twas only Mon
day. that man by the name of JONES, was
arrested in Princeton, for hiring horse and
buggy Of SErcHELL & BowLEs, the Saturday
previous, and forgetting to return it. The
magistrate called the gentlemans absence Of
mind" ats..s.s
Felony,
and in default Of $500 bail, Mr.. JONES was
''sent up" to be fed by the county until the
next term of the Circuit Court. To tell the
first part Of the story last, JONES hired the
horse and buggy and proceeded to Eewburg,
where he sold the buggy and went on his
way "To close the concern" he sold the
horse for note of $50, and 50 in cash, and
started for the North. He reached Prince
ton. and the result will be, that he will final
- reach Jacksonville. We are requested to
state that the

winter season is passing rapidly away, and
the arrangements for a

Used to deliver lectures before the association,
and some time may now elapse before full
course can be arranged. We are confident
that our citizens will do all in their power to
sustain the Association in it's endeavors, and
IL the lectures are once commenced, there
need be no misgivings as to the result. We
are not prepared to admit that our peo-
pie, who crowd circuses and menageries, will
neglect course OF lectures established for
their edification and improvement. We must
have the lectures.
Christmas
is nearly upon us, associated in the minds OF
children with visions of good things, and an
indefinite idea of some mysterious individual
who comes down the chimney to gladden. their
hearts and fill their stockings. Older chill
dren-too, have rosy memories connected with
merry Christmas" and the "Happy New
Year" SO closely following. 1t seems but
yesterday since 49," dawned upon us, and
now in few days the old year will be gone,
and '57" with its hopes and fears and bright
anticipations will be born, to pass away as its
predecessors have done, and be buried in the
past beside them. But instead of moralizing
upon the death of 49," we note the
Mysterious Death
of young man named BENNETT, who was
found on the 10Th ultimo in field near Stew
.artsvlle, in Gibson county. Our correspon-
dent informs us that he was a young man
about 81 years of age, subject to fits. 1t is
supposed that he fell down in fit, and inju.
ring himself in some way, died before dis
covered.

mers with small lots endeavored to make
sales over that figure but buyers are deter
mined not to go above it. We heard of /;
fine lot of eighteen, purchased by Messrs
