A Correction.

Philadelphia, Sept. 7,1885. To the Editor of the (Lewistown, Pa.) Democrat and Sentinel. Through the medium of a letter from an interested friend in Lew istown, lam apprised that I consigned two of my early friends to the tomb prematurely in my letter to the Democrat and Sentinel last week. He informs me that James W. McEwen and William McKinney are st 11 in the land and among the living—a fact that lam pleased to learn. I beg their p‘*rden and that of their friends and relatives for having thus attempted to dispose of them so summarily and without warrant, and offer as an apvlogy that I had not heard of them for so long that I supposed they,,too, had joined the innumerable throng among other friends on the other side. If this paragraph should meet their eye, I tender them the congratulations of an old-time friend, coupled with the hope that they may long survive my premature obituary notice. Very Truly Yours,

J. M. B.

A former resident of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and now of Utah Penitentiary, says in a letter to a friend: “I am serving out a six months’ sentence for loving, cherishing and caring for my dear families, consisting of three of the best, noblest aild loveliest wives in the Union, and twenty-thiee just as good and pretty children as ever came from heaven to sojourn for a season on this mundane sphere.” An American actor now in Germany advertises that he has witn great difficulty secured leave of absence from President Cleveland to play in Austria a month. An American tourist add d to the bill a foot-note saying teat while the President reluctantly granted the permission to go, he peremptorily refused to give permission for him to come back.
