We have been requested to correct an error
in the following paragraph from the Sentinel
OF hast week, and to give a correct account q
the affair:
Some mischievOus persons carried a plow from the
field Of Mr.. Joseph Hoover, near Wakefield. and put
i IN tree, which caused some excitement when
discovered
Our informant says that the plow belonged
to Charles Richardson, and was taken on the
night of the 18th inst. from his place and car
ried 10 a field of Joseph Hoover, and on the
night of the 18th it was placed in the crotch Of
gum tree, on the farm of Mr.. Richardson,
the lowest limb of which was 40 feet from the
ground. The crotch was five feet above the
lowest limb, and the pillow was good for high
at least In fact II was so high, that the eiti-
zens of Wakefield, attracted by the glitter Of
the mouldboard in the sunlight, thought that
new sun had appeared to shed further light
upon this world. As no such phenomenon
had been predicted or foretold by the ADvo-
CATE, which always keeps its readers posted
on past and future events, some believed 1t
could not be another sun, whilst others were
uncertain, and in the hope of fame in making
the discovery, brought into requisition spy
glasses to discover its magnitude and course,
preparatory to writing an accurate and scien-
titic account for the press, and thus have their
names enrolled among the great astronomical
