Prof. Frothingham

Geo. E. Frothingham says his last word in his paper this week. He commenced his career in journalism abont eighteen months ago. He and his coadjutors were goins to crush everybody and everything in a short time. After a nine months striiggle the Professor's partners all got out oí the concern in some way or other. The Doctor continued the desperate struggle for existence nine months longer and then terminated his journalistic calling. The Ypsilanti papers and others say that lie retires with a loss of from $3,000 to $G,000. He does not deny losing heavily, but stands up and takes the dose like a little man. No one but himself knows how glad he is to get out of the business, and we will wager that t will be some time betore lie agam gets caught in such a trap. It is an open secret that the cause of his engaging in the business was on account of the Courier not making an editorial to his liking on a brother professor who had died. Dr. Frothingham has probably learned by this time that the editor of a paper has the same right to make his own editorials to suit himself as a doctor has to treat one of his patiënte, as lie chooses. The Doctor bas paid dearly for liis knowledge, and he will return with pleasure to the profession that he loves and adoras. The loss of three hundred dollars per month for eighteen mouths, will not affect his living nor that of his family, for while he was losing that amount, he was inaking at least doublé that amount iu liis profession, and the Professor can congratúlate himself that lie has done better than his predecessors in that concern, who in their 100 months career sank over four hundred dollars per month. The Doctor and liis predecessors made loud pretensions of their Republicanism, and the Professor in his valedictory announces positively the future course of the RegisAs to the bombast that sounds natural, and will pass tor what it is worth. His successor, Mr. Kittridge, we know well and favorably, his predecessors for the last ten years have been : A. W. Chase, H. & S. Dean, J. C. Watson, Z. P. Ring' Geo. E. Frothingham, Prof. Maclcan', Frof. Grecne, E. Man, and others. They are all gootl business men, and have great influence. The new pioprietor will have these nien's counsel and experience to guide him, and we sincerely wisli Mr. Kittridge all the suecess he deservos in his new field oflabor.
