A CORRECTION.

In last weeks Frederick letter appear
ed a small item which stated that Howard
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Howard
Weeks, had died from scarlet fever.
This was an error perpetrated by the
Editor, in an attempt TO give what be
supposed to be the very latest iniorma
ton Of a fact but it appears that we
were mis- informed by another person as
to this at the last hour, that an injustice
had been done to the correspondent,
who is one of the most careful of our en-
tire corps, and the feelings of family of
friends were narrowed by the statement.
Our correspondent has sent a request
that we make denial of the statement,
and that in the future. only such items
as are sent in the Frederick letter, appear
under her signature This is a policy
that should be followed by all papers,
and in the future entire reliance will be
made on correspondents for the news
from various localities. In this case the
child has not even got the scarlet fever,
so we are informed but is i'll with
another trouble, and not in danger Of it's
life.-THKo. TOWNSEND, Editor.
