days by heavy rains. The ford was only four
miles from Luenbury.
Colonel Phearson signals from Ekowe that
he can hold out ten days longer, till the 4th

miles north of the Tuguea river. They are
hidden in the dense jungle, SO their numbers
are unascertainable.

committee, and his evidence involved Assist

others in various degrees of completely in
fraud whereby money was obtained from the

acquitted him, and that Glover's report is
now withheld by Clerk Adams at the instiga-
ton of parties who would be compromised
by its publication.

Our court report yesterday should have
been headed "Superior Court, Judge White
house" Instead of that il read Supreme
Judicial Court, Judge Danforth." The fault
was not that of our accomplished Court re-
porter. Liquor cases were on trial, and the
fumes of liquor which filed the court room
might have confused his brain, and this would
have been sufficient excuse for his making
the error, but his head was level. Then We
might lay it OFF on to our compositors, but
they are not in the habit of visiting rum shops.
