PERsoSAI--fhe readers of the Chronicle will
see, by glance at the head Of this column, that a
change has been made in the ostensible conduct and
control of the Local department This, though,
dses not involve any real change in IT. since, as
many of our leaders know, the undersigned has,
for year two past, furnished most Of the matter
for these columns. Our friends, whose names pre-
coded our own, as editors frequently urged us to
"Ayst' our name over the 'local,n but orr excess
i've modesty and the fear that we might some day,
make some afeller mad, and, IN consee uence there
of come to play rather inactive part at big fr-
neral led us to decline the honors our friends were
kind enough TO think we might thus have won.
Now, however, we are a changed man We are
become, In manner desperate manil II is not
Necessary TO say who has made us SOL but ever
since we run for Mayor, and were permitted by an
ungrateful and unappreciative nation to get beat
by seventeen votes, we have felt ourmodesty oozne
away, and our face getting hard; and feeling
moreover, that getting beat for Mayor Ii about
bad as being killed, by the feller" we alluded TO-
we lost all consideration we had about the funeral
The result of these influences is seen at the head o.
this column.
We intend to try, like Mark Tapley to be jolly,
under all circumstances but fear that our late mis-
fortune will prove too much for us. If a vein---a
jugular vein of melancholy should be, at any time,
detected in these columns, we want our friends to
aOdteh us; and if should fail to come up at eatin
Sme for any two days runnin'--tken they may con-
sider us 'gone up and at once proceed to drag
the ponds IT. however, while we continue TO drag
ont this miserable existence Of disappointed hopes
we shall be able either to instruct or aInuse the
gcaders Of the Chronicle then the only ambition
