flj'VVe learn that a paragraph in our last, stating that 

 the first Temperance Society in the U. S., was " accor- 

 ding to a statement, made by Dr Pierce of Brookline, 

 organized about 20 years ago, by him and Samuel Dex- 

 ter," was incorrect. The article was copied from some 

 southern paper, we believe, and credit omitted by acci- 

 dent. In our next, we will give a correct account of 

 this matter, if we can procure it.
