MISTAKES OF PRINTERS.

Some people are continually wonder
ing at the 'carelessness' Of editors in al
lowing so many errors and blunders to
appear in their columns. and mar the
print. Such people know very little of
the difficulties-we had almost said i'm
possibilities ofkeeping them out. The
most careful attention to these matters.
will not prevent errors from creeping in
even when professional proof readers are
engaged expressly for the purpose. And
when il is borne in mind that in most
papers such an expense is necessarily
disRe nsed with. and the proofs on that
account are hurriedly examined, the fact
will no longer appear strange. In con-
nection with this subject the following
anecdoie may not DO inappropriate.
A Glasgow publishing house attemp-
ted to publish work that should be a

BW-The Lexington correspondent
of the Louisville Courier, writing on
the 18th inst, says:
IL is estimated that there are no
less than one thousand mules on tho
streets for sale to-day. Provisions
have become so high and so scarce in
the North and the West, that persons
in those regions being unable TO feed
them, are driving their mules TO Ken
lucky to sell them. Last Monday
there were twelve hundred from those
regions in Paris, it being County
Court day there, most of which were
not sold, on account Of the low prices
that there were offered Many OF
these, with others, have been driven
here, and early this morning several
of the principal streets were filed
with the long cared gentry. Year
lings arc freely offered at 500, with
but few takers, and two years old s
were offered at S120.
