CorrecTion.--We 'are requested to correct the item in last. week's BEX in reference to-A. Mé¢Mane's colt, which stated that the colt was not awarded first prize because it was not entaged in time. Mr. MceMane's colt, we aré in- formed, was entered in time to receive a prize, and if it was not given first prize it was the fault of the jldges who are supposed to award prizes according to merit. The editor was not present fore notin a position to verify either statement. Mr. Dickson's colt wags only four mouths old the 3rd of this month, and tips the scales at 675 Ibs.. and a superior animal in every . respect.

"My 1,800 bushels of grain should have kept me in effluence until another crop is raised, but I have parted with the grain and have Instead only a vast number of accounts, so small and scattered that 1 cannot get. around and collect fast enough to pay expenses." So he posted.up a public notice and asked all those who owed him to pay quickly. But few came, 'The rest said, "Mine is only a Smail these days," forgetting that each ac- count was very small, when all. were put together they meant a large sum to the man.
