In Saturdays REPUBLICAN. in the article
headed "a Box and its History 1t was stated
that one "Mrs. Ann Thorn" placed in the afore-
said box 1870 in behalf Of the Board Of Trade"
Now We don't know Mrs Ann, though she
may be a very respectable lady Notwithstanding
and the Board Of Trade have been looking high
and low for MRS. Ann" to present her with an
annual certificate Of msmbership. 1t is needless
To say that the name should have been Mr.. Owen
Thorn but, We presume, the printers thought
they would put him down as Mrs. Ann, " as he
is entirely too tender hearted for 4 man.
In the same article the word provisions
ought to have been prayers. The printer was
undoubtedly in hungry instead Of praying
state, hence the misprint.
| We rejoice 10 know that the proposition Of tho
ladies Of the fair to fll tho box with greenbacks
10 meeting with much favor. When we looked
into the box on Saturday night We noticed $50
additional contributed, with q note attached
found at q privite poker party"-"takeu out
for the widow We hopo to be able to an.
nounce, ere the close Of the fair, Its being tull
