MISTAKES OF PRINTERS.

some people are collllualIS Wol-
dering ut the 'carelessness' OF editors
IN allowing so many errors aud blum
dcrS to appear i'll their columns, and
mar the print. Such people know
very little Of the dilliculics--wc had
almost said impossibiIitics--oi keep
ing them out. The most careful at
trntOn to these matters vii! not pre-
vent errors from creeping in, even
when professional proof readers are
engaged expressly for the purpose.
And when it is borne in mind that in
most papers such AN expense is nee
cSsariIy dispensed with, and the proofs,
on that account. are often hurriedly
/ examined, the lact will not appear
strange. In connection with this
subject, the following anccdote is not
inappropriate.
