Since the Press has been under the editorial man
agement OF Mr.. Richardson its editorials have been
high toned and reliable, welding powerful influ-
ence over its patrons on all politicl matters. He
has taken lair stand, alwajs discussing topics in

ability, character and culture he has displayed in its
management, and wish him and the proprietors even
more prosperity in the next year than 1t has had in
the past.
Its news is judiciously and carefully selected, and
general culture and literary taste characterizes its
contents AS a good family newspaper it has no su-
perior; and while Mr. Lincoln occupies the citv Cd
