Fhe Telegraph Of the 18th is just re,
ceivsd. We regret to see some of our
letters, and especially the one from Gin
cinnati, married by what seems unac-
countable blunders of the press. We
confess to bad writing; but when the
word cannot be read we should think,
better guessing" at it might be made.
In that letter we notice the word "mo-
tive" printed in two different places, in
one of which we wrote "Master" and in
the other, "Nation,' and in both of
which the sense was wholly destroyed.
So, too, in another instance in the same
letter, where "Iretchedness" is the
word printed instead of "wickedness, as
we wrote it; making the whole sentence
an absurdity.
This is excessively annoying, and we
earnestly hope will not occur so fire.
quently hereafter And to this end we
will try to write more legibly. But the
truth is, after day and evening spent
in close application to ether duties, we
do not feel like taking very much time
from sleeping hours to the mechanical
labor of fine penmanship, and do not
wonder that the, printers fail to read our
scratches. All we crmplain of is, that
they don't 'sguess' better at what we
intended to write. -

two hundred and three volumes were

tive and local history.
The Commissioners recommend meas

Of great value to the Library. Ex-
changes were made during the past year
