Our brotber of tho GazcUe Jias sent to Puna" hou fbr a'Bmart'boy iii the Hpelling elaea to point out Bhps in 6ur orthography aml punctuation». We di<i not ti)ink jou wonid stoop to such small gatne, anti sift our items, as we never iooked at joiuß. We )iever attend to punctuation, we onlj make dashes, and that account-s for the dashing stjle of the Nl iiol ; —but we try to put Home point to our and that in the kind of punctuatio?i for juu to Btudj, hrothei\ V\ T e chiefly noticed error« of construetion in your leading articies, whleh are ali iacitly adnjitted ; but we cannot eee eome of thosc pointed out 10 us. AV r hy shoiild you twit us about tlie notice o! Ven. Archdeacon Maeon being " an obituary." Is not the heading u Pcr6onal 1 ,, Hufficiently dietinct; and is it not plam that thc 44 departure" epoken of refera to San Franelsco as mentioned about twenty lines above. This criticiBin is utteriy unealled for. In looking baCk to our No. 1, and to the very eolumn refeiTed to, it ought to remind you that you never penned a line for your paper to the memory of your brother, Avhose face is so freshly before us all, and muet look at you, as you sit in his late editorlal chair.

After you had issued a iew eopiea of your No. 9, a friendly purchaser pointed out an error or two, that the Nuhou man would be «ure to piek at; so you ealled in a first erroneuis s edition, exchanging fbr it eorreeted eopies ; and even rēcalled your revised and yet fov all that you speak inyour of 44 parcniage of children to total populatlon, ,, meaning 110 doubt, pereentage.
