Our Circulation.

The Republiedn thinks TIE STARS circula.
ton only exceeds its own by So few hundreds. ,
We cheerfally concede TO our lively peighbor a
very handsome circulation, but as q matter of
justice to ourselves must say that instead of
being matter of hundreds, no other paper
here approaches The STAR in circulation by
many, many thousands. This Is no idle boast.
We shall be glad to show il "by books and
papers whenever the fact is seriously ques-
toned. We may ada that never In the pros
porous career OF TIE STAR has its circulation
increased at so rapid q rate as within the last
year. and is circulation since 1t came into the
hands OF its present prOprietors, October 1866 }
has nearly trebled-lsrge as it was at that
time.
