| NOTES, LITERARY AND TyPoGRAPHIcAL.-One
of the first Of these may well relate to TYPOGRAPHY
ical mistake that occurred in the last column Of
Facts and Fictions. We wrote q paragraph about
TWO afgators. By some illusion, it was set up, in
words, TWO HUNDRED alligators. In the proof this
error was called to attention by reference to the
copy, and the alteration made was simply to sub
stitute the figures 10000 instead of the word
two!" 1t will no doubt lead to no little marvel,
and doubt, and raillery especially among those
who may not see this correction. On reference to
the manuscript, we find there actually was dis
tant similitude between the word "TWo" as
written, and 7OO0,n in figures. Moral, Mr.. Con
