W. c. Clark has become the editor and pro.
priesor of this establishment. The superior
qualifications Of Mr.. Clark for the station
which he now occupies are unquestionabls.
We shall expect powerful aid TO the Wing

great zeal, skill and success. Independent
Of politics, Mr. c. will bring to other de-

OF his predecessor we are happy in hav-
