g8- We copied an article from the Coz
'lumbus Statesman, yesterday, giving an ac-
count of the indecorous conduct of some
eastern runners towards Miss Western.
1t contained some mistakes, of which the
Statesman makes the following correction /:
We are sorry TO say that we committed
an error in our article in relation to the in
decent conduct of trio of runners for
ern. We stated that she was l1neelng at
her bedside with her child. This Is a mis-
take. However much we might wish that
she was the happy mother of n child--we
must take il back. She has no children.
We ask her pardon.

locomotive and baggage ear were thrown
off but we did not hear that any person was
injured The train from Cincinnati, due
here at ten o'clock, failed to make the con-
nection, and consequently we have no mail
or papers from Cincinnati. We learn that
there will be no train here from Cincinnati
