CoRREcrIoN.-Sevsral days ago, in
our epizootic Item, we were unintcn-
tionally led into an error in crediting
tho ownership Of divers OK teams to
the Bank of California. Upon second
thought, the idea that a large banking
house should engage in the bull whack-
ing business, possesses too much Of
lulicrous absurdity to be entertained
for a moment. 10 set readers
right upon this question, We will state
that the Bank OF California does solely
O banking business. The oxen referred
TO above. belonged to the Union Mill
and Miuing Company, n association
organized under the laws of this State.
for dealing in mills, mines, timber and
other property. The Virginia and
Truckee Railroad Company, another
separate corporation, contine their at
tention strictly to their business as
common carriers. The fact that sew
eral gentlemen " stock In all OF
them does not initiate against the dis
tinct and separate character OF each
one Of these Institutions. The Bank OF
California has no connection with The
other two associations, with The excep-
tion of acting in its moneyed capacity
as an adjusting house. We make this
correction for the reason that there
seems to be n general misrepresentation
in the minds OF the public IN regard to
the matters referred TO.

male admirers. every time a new

tainmant, taken all in all, was enc OF
the most enjoyable OF the season.
