dog by the ears, raised him from the

absolutely no grounds for provocation ~

volume. I, has been published since De-
ce,nber 1870, but owing ,oa severe sick

of the volume was moved forward to
April. II has passed into fourth propri-
etorshp since it's founding, for no one of
which changes has the CLARION itself
been responsible, or the fault for in NO in
stance has the proprietor treated it as
kindly as 1t has treated the proprietor.
We had hoped to he able to inaugurate
the entry into the XIlth volume, with q
new dress and general male-up but the
last hange in proprietorship came toe
late and its readers will he called upon to
bear with its very indifferent typographi
cal appearance, yet little while longer.
