AN ERRoR.-During our absence in Phladel-
| phia week before last, a. provoking error was
made in the printing of the blank Jury notices
for Sheriff Rothermel, which we learn is being
handled to our injury by the political opponents
of this office. The loudest of them is the old
deputy who viii be retained for short time in
that office. The error consisted of the word AZ.
ternoon instead of forenoon which. the deputy
ought to have discovered whlst filing them out.
The notices would not, however, have ''lnvalldat-
cd the entire service' as our neighbor of the De-
nlocrdt wants TO make IL appear. II appears sim
gular that an experienced deputy would allow no.
tices to be filled out without discovering such an
error. But rs his critic eye did not discover an
error in an important writ which he wrote out for
publication week before last, until after the pa
per was printed, we presume that his correctness
in the capacity in which he is acting to-day is
more complete, after three years experience as
the active man in the Sheriffs office, than is that
of the lille boy who printed the provoking blanks
after an experience of only eighteen months u.
his business. Mistakes are unavoidable in our
business, and will occur occasionally with the
best of US. We claim, particularly as far as job
work is concerned, to be us exempt from error
as most of the profession, but we doubt wheth-
er we could make that assertion If the present
deputy were our proof reader.
