A Correction.

By Editor

IN making out news notes from the daily papers it often happens that reports are itemized which prove to be untrue; but, unfortunately, it does not always happen that false reports are corrected. We recently copied a statement in circulation to the effect that Neal Dow said Mr. Spurgeon drank beer. It now appears that Mr. Spurgeon denies that he drinks beer, and Gen. Dow denies that in his statements he had any reference to Mr. Spurgeon! We sympathize with Mr. Spurgeon for the unjust obloquy cast upon his name, and also with Mr. Dow who has been sufficiently abused for the supposed slander.

Now, if it can authoritatively be denied that Mr. Spurgeon uses tobacco, or smokes cigars, we shall be still more pleased, and will promptly note it.
