During the Mexican war one Of the En-
glish newspapers hurriedly announced an
important item Of news from Mexico, that
General Pillow and thirty-seven Of his
men had been lost in a bottle (battie).
Some other paper informed the public, not
long ago, that man in n brown surtout was
yesterday brought before the court on a
charge of stealing a small OK box from
lady's work bag The stolen property was
found in his waistcoat pocket. A rat raft
says another paper, descending the river,
came in contact with steamboat, and so Sc
rious was the injury to the boat that great
exertions were necessary to save it. An En-
glish paper once stated that the Russian
General BACKINoFFKowsIlY was found dead
with long word Sword in his mouth 1t
was, perhaps, the same paper that, in giving
description Of a battle between the Poles
and the Russians, said that the conflict was
dreadful, and that the enemy were repulsed
with great laughter (slaughter.) Again a
gentleman was recently brought up to an
swer the charge Of having eaten lbeatenl a
stage driver for demanding more than his
fare. Il will thus be seen that accidents
wall happen with the best regulated news
papers. as well as in the best regulated fami-
lies The frequency Of such mistakes insthe
UNION AND AMERICAN has been a source Of
far greater annoyance TO us than to our read
