In our report of the Lewitt divorce case last week, we did the Doctor an injustice by the statement that the poetry pnblished in the report was "inscribed" to Mrs. Perkins.

This portion of the testimouy was unintentionally misconstrued by our reporter, but we assure the Doctor, and the lady to whom allusion is made, that we had no disposition to misrepresent or give any false coloring to the testimony in this unfortunate and uupleasaut affair, but simply to give the facts elicited by the evideuce as a matter of news to our readers.
