CoRRECTION.-Our account of the SUI
icide of old Mr.. Reed it appears does
injustice to his step-sons, Messrs. Will
liam and George Stewart, of Bridgeport.
The statement was made upon what we
deemed reliable information, one of our
informants having been at the inquest;
but the facts show that Mr.. Reed was
properly attended to by these gentle
men, and that of his own choice he left
their care for the poor house. Mondays
account warranted a different, and as
we believe, an entirely incorrect con-
Clusion.
