Proclamation, occurs on Monday, the first day
of April. 1t will be well enough, perhaps, to
bear this In mind by those who think II IN no

CAPT FooTE has been duly installed in the
American House, Jefferson, and on Monday
last we had an opportunity of seeing him in
his new character as landlord, and test the or
d + aud appointments of The new arrangement
OF things. The position is one that brings out
the Captains pleasant and host-lile qualities
to advantage and the table and attendance
shows no falling away from the range and
standard which has given th0 house name
and made it popular place of rest and com
fort with travellers, far and wide. 1t is Il com

steady and clear head, which he unitvs TO a
gentle, patient and amiable bearing, essential
qualities for the Office he holds. More than
any other Of our county offices, this should be
raised above party strife and frequent changes
1t is Il sort of patrIarchal and patrrnal posi-.
ton that people are better satisfied with when
it carries with it prrmanence and stability
With the promise given to fill the position
well, after full acquaintance with its duties
we trust we shall not soon hear OF any lur.
