The Paterson CAL notes the fact that you
can read the proof of a newspaper article
three or four times and pass repeatedly ov-
er the same error without seeing if. All
newspaper men will tell you so. But just
as soon as the press is started, and the
paper is printed in It's complete shape,
there lands that error out in front of you,
SO big that you can't see anything else.
It's a strange fact. And thus, says the
Call, is the reason it is SO easy to edit a
paper, after il is printed.

who desired the chastisement of another
young man who had offended him, is said

'~'cronies'' three dollars each to admins
ter the desired 'lickin;., The two employees
took the victim into their confidence, and
a half dollar from each paid him for a SIM
ulated limp, which gave him the appear
ance of having been roughly used, and let
the other fellows out with s.. so each, and
everybody satisfied.
A tax rate equal to a five per cent. mort
gage on every piece of realty and all per-
sonsl property within its limits is what the
return of the city of Cape May to the State
Board of Assessors shows to be the case in
that city. Its rate, increased this year to
S. on the 500, is probably the largest that
was ever levied and solicited by any city in
this State. On the other hand the inhabi-
tants of the little township of Upper Pitts
grove, this County, complacently pay as
their burden for common convenience
sixty-eight cents on the 800.
