Greensboro pond, in which the Pres

Our item relative to the death and
burial of Mr.. Hatch, got badly mix
ed last week. The information was
received from two sources and in
putting it together the mistake was

DR.. Corey had returned, which was
an error. Our readers may some
times wonder and scold at errors
made in town items, but they can un-
derstand that the publisher has tc
add to his own plumbers some mis-.
takes of others, and that it is difficult
to get correct information every
time. Nothing is more mortifyine
to us than some errors of these kinds
