TYPOGRAPHICAL FREAKs.-Yain as it seems to
hope to secure typographical accuracy in the rush
ing energies of the press in this fast country and
little importance as may Ne attached to errors
there are some which ought to be corrected. One
of these is that which occurred in the hast published
column Of Facts and EIetions in the first line of
the distich quoted in the article on the quo
taton :" TempOra mutantur, etc." and in the sec-
ond clause of which " tempora" was printed for
"tempore." Corrected the lines read as follows ::
Tempora mutaniur, nnanntur tesnpore mores:
Expe6,s haud unus semper ,iqre modus.
In the same paper, in an editorial paragraph
about accidental Insurance the clause ab the
business having " taken proportions of great ex.
tent, was lndcronsly metamurphosed into " taken
propositions"
Minor typographical errors occur everywhere.
In the title of q beautiful aud valuable publication
by one of the most eminent of the learned socie,
ties Of Europe received in this city few days
since, the word "Schrften " in capitals one third
of an inch in height is printed "scHRIrTFN. u
Such errors as this are doubtless to be expected
occasionally; but it does seem as if the grossel
ones ought not to be found so frequently as the,
| are.

Newspaper Reading

A correspondent of the German Reformed
Messenger mentions the impression produced
upon traveller from Europe,while in a western
city, by witnessing the eagerness of Americans
fer newspapers. He says:
"He hastily approached me. with eyes gleam-
ing with surprise, admiration, and delight.
What wonderful race the American people
are" was his earnest outburst, Every man
with his newspaper See that drayman there,
sitting on his dray, eagerly reading his news
paper; and that hackman mounted on his perch
with his whip on his knee,diving into his news
paper and yonder that laborer stopping on
the corner to buy his newspaper; and that
pauor repairing the levee, with newspaper
sticking out of his pocket, where he has lust
placed it for further reading as he has leisure
So have seen it in every American town and
city There is nothing like it in Europe No
other people, through all its ranks, can he so
thoroughly versed in the current news of the
country and the world. Wonderful people,
these American people, was his pointed sum-
ming up, as if to hint at the profound prophecy
ernbodies in this popular phase and fact This
expression brings up to view the vast educational
Value and effect of the newspaper, secular or

1t is written by young man who lately went
from Williamsport to California, and is now
practicing law in San Francisco:
"A transaction was closed Up yesterday which
