1 An ERROR ALL RapSD.-Y Yesterday We stated
our belief that somebody in Cincinnati had been
sold, upon the statement of one of that city's
papers, that their famous Menter's brass band had
been engaged to come to this city and play for
"Osceola Fire Company Of this city, on the occa-
1 sion of the annual parade on the 4th Of March.
The error Of the Cincinnati paper in naming a com
pany which does not exist here, led US into the
4 error of supposing that no such engagement had
been made BY any fire company in this city. We
now find that we made mistake, based upon q
mistake in the Cincinnati paper. Menterfs band
has been engaged to come to this city, and to play
for Creole Fire Company No. 9, at the annual
parade
