 A Correction
 Our attention has been called to an er- TOT which occurred in last weeks NEWS, in the report of the G. A. R, reunion held in Canaan, the 22d. Through an oy ersight, Lakeville was omitted from the list of towns or posts included in the association, and "Peter Turner of Great Harrington" shonld have read "Lake- ville," where MT Turner has been a resi- dent for over. fifty years. Lakeville has furnished one of the most active contin- gents in the association since its or ganization and is surely entitled to it's place with the others.
