Error Corrected.

The statement in the Forum last
week that the county commissioners
had been unfortunate in the selection
of Owen England for constable is a
violent strain at gnat. Owen Eng
land, as well as Owen Price, Is all
right. The fact that he happens TO be
somewhat independent of clique rule
and the further fact that he conducts
himself like he is proud of it, stand to
his credit. Moreover, his record as
an officer, the JOURNAL understands,
Is irreproachable. The commissioners,
Messrs. Armstrong, Pritchard and
elise, are assured, therefore, that all
intimations to the effect that they have
erred are echoes from a dreamland
wherein sticks little pique.

that held it to the wrist were the skin
and sinews. The finger and a-half re-
