pleasure in saving that in no year since its es-
Establishment has The JOURNAL received more
marks Of the confidence OF the great reading
public of New England than in the one which IS
now dra sing 10 close. Every month has wit
messed large increase in its circulation, as com
pared with the previous year, and at no former
time have its columns been so crowded with the
favors of its advertising patrons and friends
This expression of confidence, and bestowal Of
patronage. has enabled it to maintain the posi-
tion which its contemporaries have assigned 70
