OUR NEW PRESS.

Up to this time we have rested under
two great causes of embarrassment in
serving the Star to all our subscribers at
regular hours. First, on account of the
large increase of our daily issue; and
next, from the fact that we have had but
one double cylinder Napier press, in which
the breaking of single screw or cog, or
even the arrangement of tape, in the
effort to drive it at a high rate of speed,
to enable US to work off our whole edition
in time, has repeatedly caused our patrons,
as we'll as ourselves, most vexatious de-
lays. On Saturday last, we received a
very fast and highly improved press more
than twice as fast, we take it. as any other
printing press in Washington, which is
being put up with all despatch. We ex-
pect to print on it the Star of Monday
next, after which time we shall have done
with all the annoyances to which we have
been subjected, from all .insufficiency of
press power to meet the rush for the Star
which has come upon us from all quarters
Of the Union. We shall then be able to
work off daily edition of twelve thous-
and copies in two hours, having another
press standing in working order, by way
Of guarding against the accidents to which
all the craft know such machines are at
times liable.

the car and handed him 4 package, and return

On examination, the package was found TO con-

explanation. About nine o'clock on the same
evening, Mr.. Ball heard carriage drive up to
his door, and the door gently opHn. The door
bell rang. and the carriage went away. On
going to the door 4 bandboX was found in the

which they found TO their surprise, 4 beautiful

praying that the child might not be sent TO the
poorhou>e, but that Mr.. Ball would keep it

the little stranger with nothing short of parent
