CORRECTIONS.

In the article on the death of Mrs.
Albreta Bell-King a typographical &C.
cident occurred, which marred it
somewhat. Three lines were mis-
placed in the matter at the top of
the fifth column on the third page.
The 9th, 10th and 18th lines in that
column should have appeared at the
top of the column to make the matter
read correctly.
