THE POET'S CORNER.-In order to
increase the attractions of the CHIEF
we have added a new feature with
the new year, in the shape of a " Poet's
Corner," which will always be located
in the first column of the fourth page,
and will contain each week two or
more choice selections from the car
rents poetical productions of 'the
times. We should be happy to receive
and publish meritorious original con
tributions from some of our readers
who are poetically inclined, believing
such will serve to enhance the pop
ularity we air* to achieve for the
1 Corner."
