Corrections.

 We published last week, the marriage notice of Mr. G.A. Prell and Miss
Emma Pahl.  We are informed that the announcement was premature, we
therefore retract it.  The notice was handed in for publication and we supposed it
was genuine.  We beg pardon of the parties interested and will be happy to taste
their wedding cake at some time in the near future.
