A NEWSPAPER NEVER DtEs. That

evidence before us. The "Conserva
tor" was the title Of paper publish
ed here years ago by that eccentric
Author. artist and editor I. b. Thorpe
Esur. It had brief existence, in
which every body's interest. but iis
own was concerved; and it soon cane

lottery office agents, got hold Of the
maine, and documents have been com
ing through the office ever since, ad
dressed to the aforesaid Uonservator
We are obliged to our friend u Me-"
Post master for turning over TO the Co
met box, such documents. 1t shows bis
appreciation of our social and political
position. We are now, essentially
The Uonservater and if we do not
reconsile all differences in the com
munity, it is because we cannot con
sistantly occuppy more than two diff
ferent positions in the same paper -

able to " look head" " aud tell how
the political cat "a ;mouht, will jump
next week, this would give us d de-
cidea advantage III the struggle IF d
e6ntemporoneoas press, for popularity
We had rather, however, be certain
that we are Id The popular current Of
things to-day, than to hazard speeu-
lation for the future, that might turn
out 10 be timptofitable.
