n A C0RREcrfoN.-By some unaccountable
hiunder IN our tyreS on saturday. we were
made to say the very reverse of what was
intended in our reference I" the pablorS in
the Walnut Street hu eli, in wi'ich the
ladies of tba church soon expect 70 no d
"Soc nblrS" The no ice wa made To say
thitl as fhe Toon1s tr,ia{d beI0ig tn The chUrch,
~ oi,e but Der ,cdattd feel free D. attend
Whau we aimed 10 say. aud supposed we
had W lit II, was, that as tie ICONS would
b.long to the church. not only the MEM
ber- hut all OF hers who felt interested n
the chuicn. might feel fee o attend these
''>oci bIeS +" whenever held. We greatly
re ret the blundcr, and hope no one will
be 30 uncharitahle as to suppose that the
ladies OF the church do not desire to see a /
their friends whoever they may be. The
very object in furnish he rooms l. to
encourage sociaDiliiy, and to welcome
their frien is, wnomsoever they may be.
CHANGING BASE. = The new city
council chamber and city Offices, in
the new engine house, corner OF Third
and Walnut, are now completed, and
the work of moving has already COM
menced, and in few days there will
be an eutire change iOf base upon the
part of the city officials. The City
Council we beiieYc, will meet Tonight
in the old council chamber, over the
post -office; but the next meeting, we
presume, will be held in the new
chamber. This will scarcely lie SD
convenient to the reporters Of the
press. but will be more comfortable
to the mem bers of the Council and
the pubic generally.

We mentioned III the journal last
! Tuesday the arrest OLA mln named
Oowl, halling trom Harrison, OHIO,
on charge of having attempted TO
pass counterfeit one hun
dred dollar note, or greenback.
The hour at which the arrest
was made Icing late, his examination
was set for10 clock next day as we
are informed, aud he was sent to jail.
There he has remained ever since
without hearing Tue law and
common humanity hold every man
innocent until he is proved guilty.
But here is stranger, tar from home,

outrage that is disgEaceful to. our city,
