Editorial Biunders.

A great many ludicrous blinders have been produced by transpositions and leaving outpoints. A New York paper in announcing the wreck of a vessel near the Narrows, says: ••The only passengers were T. B. Nathan, who owned three-fourths of the cargo and the captain’s wife!” A New Orleans editor, recording the career of a mad dog, says: "\Ve are aggrieved to say, the rabid animal, before it could be killed, everely bit Dr. Hart and several other dogs.” In another paper, we find the following advertisement: “For sale—An excellent young horse; would suit any timid lady or gentleman with a long silver tail.” We heard a good Methodist preacher once “go on” in this way: "As I was riding along once on one of those beautiful Western prairies, with tny dear old wife, who has since gone to Heaven in a buggy.”
