BY trusting too much to hear
say" we incorrectly reported the cause
of death in both eases last week. Mrs.
Woods complaint was pelvic abcesses
from which she has been agreat sul-
ferer for nearly two years, and the
lingering disease and her wasted form
led to the conclusion, without inquiry,
that 1t was a case Of consumption. In
the other case, that Of the little son
of Mr.. Mclaughlin, the cause Of death
was membraneous Group, instead of
typhoid fever. as we were at the time
informed. DR.. Murdoch has our
thanks for these corrections, and here
after we will not trust so much to those
who know no more about the matter
than we do.

And in view Of all these remarka-

a great deal of money in trades and very
little in counter jumping, and yet only

road depot now stands, as will proceed
to show.
This Canal would pass about twelve
miles south of this city, at an elevation of
thirty feet above the tide. The depot is
seventy-five feet above the tide, an aver
age excavation, of twenty-seven feet
would bring the waters of the Canal with
depth of ten feet to the foot of our
hills; this excavation with width suffi-
cient for the passage of any barge navi-
eating the Canal could be made for less
than $40, 900 per mile, and once completed
would require little expenditure to keep
it in order, and would therefore in the
long run be cheaper than the cheapest
railroad which could be constructed and
operated for the same time over the same
route.
If you consider these crude, but be-
lieve tolerably accurate views are of any

LEARN To WALK ALONE.

This worlds riddle hard to solve,
A puzzle hard to read;
And they who find Life's path all bright
Are precious few, indeed.
Yet don't despair, though Fortune frown.
Nor murmer at your fate:
Your aim in life by earnest toll
You'll sure win soon or late
But walk upon your own feet. friend
Nor trust to others strength
To carry or to pull you up
Life's hill of weary length
Ii e'er you hope to make your mark"
Or let your worth be known,
Take all the props from under YOU.
And learn to walk alone
Men who depend on borrowed gold
10 brighten up your name,
And plead you must make such display
Your future wealth TO gain,
Beware! L" Pay as you go" is best.
Debt Is an ugly foe;
You cannot tell what9hour the tiend
Will strike fatal blow
Sons. stand without your fathers aid
Upon yourselves rely;
Rich fruitage in the future lies
You'll win 1t if you try.

Who has no props to lean upon,
