Thirteen months since 1 assumed by in. vitation the editorial charge of tihe "Jan nrr" during that time my reiations with the 13rdss of the State has been of the moost aigreablo and harmonious character, and now in yielding up the trust onlided me, I iaya notlihig to regret, save the sever ance from a fraternity, which I have -nt to regard and respect, and whic:h m the high toned ionor nad courtesy which. hiost universally anid mark their contreversies justly entitled them to lie respect of tIhIe world. To the patrons of the un/er Winner," I have only to say that I have used all the exertions that circunistances would allow, to render tle paper, what it should h and i retiring and conveying to others, the duties and re zlponusibililities which 1 have attempted failth- i hilly to fulfill. I have the satisfaction of knowinr thtmnt I leave lie concern iii a more pros4perous condition, than I found it, and in.the hands of those who are able and willi!g to do everything to promote its ad vanucenicit anrd the prosperitof the Dis.

The old cquotation wvhich we make above may ihe applied to mian, as an inidividhual, and we have no objections to it, but when a body corprorate is spoken of in connec tion with its wvants, tire puzzle is .to know where to begin, and where to end is a problem for thre next centurry to solve.
