Taking it altogether it was day of
great rejoicing and good feeling. All

WE HAD HOPED, by the first of this month
to make the promised enlargement of THE
DAILY News, but owing to our disappoint.
ment in receiving supply of necessary mate
rial, we have been unable to do SO.
On the first of January, however,, THE
News will make its appearance in its new
dress, greatly enlarged and improved. We
regret that, owing to the pressure of adver-
tisements, we have been unable to give our
readers, for some time past, the quantity, of
reading matter they were entitled to; we
have endeavored, however, to mako up the
deficiency, to some extent, by issuing Supple
ments.
We have now the largest circulation, by
far, both in the City and State, of any other

paper more and more worthy Of the generous
support it has received since tho first day of
