B4- We have inadvertently neglected to
say that the Hamilton Intelligencer has Wis.
tied our table since the change in the pro,
prietorshiP. We not only see change in
the appearance and general interest Of the
paper, but Il decided change for the better
in its general editorial management. We
do not say this simply because Mr.. Millikin
has left the Office, and because he seemed
unable to exercise proper courtesy toward
us and his brethren of tie press generally,
but because 1t is simply true, and every
reader-every one of the most unsophisto-
Gated newspaper plodders--can see the dif.
ference. The idosyncrOsies of Mr. NJ. were
doubtless more his misfortune than his fault
He has wisely chosen another field than the

wise him to remain there until he has sown

well as we could hope for Republican, and

kindly into the ranks, and hope hc may net
