A REPORTER IN DISGRACE.

Mondays Repository contained list Of SEN
tences Of convicts to be sent to the Penitentiary
which was grossly incorrect. Tuesday morning
Judge Meyer, with Repository in his hand, asked
in open court who reported the court proceedings
fol, the REPOSITORY lie was told Mr.. Butts was the
man. The Judge then said such egregious blum
ders were calculated to make the Stark County
Court the laughing stock Of the State, and sug-
gested, in his mild way, that the ignoramus who
published such stuff must be a genuiRe ass and
TulpahOckan, and should not be connected with
any newspaper He said, also, that hereafter, If
the proceedings were not more correctly reported
the Repository would he obliged to do without
them and that the mistakes already made must
be corrected
