AFTER MANY YEARS.
A Family Reunited i'm a Very Sim
gular Manner.

SuEaf manner
During HE last fourteen years in our
neighboring city, Dayton, KY, has lived a
lady named Martin, widow, having with
her three children, all girls The family
was from Murfreesboro, Tenn, and came
here in 1868, when that place was occupied
by the Federal troops Mrs. Martins hus-
band and son had a year previous entered
the Southern army. Some time after COM
ing North she heard of the death of her
husband but the last tidings of her son
were that he was still well and unharmed.
This was some time in the early part of
1864. After that she heard not word from
him.
After the war had closed she wrote to ev-
cry place where she thought it possible for
him to be, but no tidings of him
could she get. She refused to believe
him dead, and through the long years
that have passed continued her
search for him. Advertisements were in
serted in newspapers North and South. and
letters were written to dozens of places
where a name similar to his happened to
appear in some connection in print. As
time wore on her three children grew up,
and married, the last one, who was almost
a baby when they left Tennessee, becoming
the wife of son of Mr.. James Peters, of
Dayton, a little over year ago.

AS TO CIRCULATION

The representatives of the Cincinnati Daily
Times having had the audacity to dispute the
large circulation of the Cincinnati DAILY STAR,
before the County Commissioners, when
the award of the contract for publishing
the delinquent personal tax list was about
to be made to u.s. propose to settle the question
of circulation before the public as fully as we did
before the Commissioners. We therefore propose
to the Daily Times to prove the following propo-
sitons
FIRsT-That the DAILY STAR has published and
circulated more papers any one day during the
present year than the Daily Times has during the
whole six days of any week in that time.
SECOND-That the DAILY STAR circulates in
the City Of Cincinnati regularly more than three
times as many papers as the Daily Times.
THIRD-That the DAILY STAR circulates in
CovingtJn, Newport, Ludlow, West Covington
and Dayton, Ky.,-the cities on the opposite bank
Of the Ohio-more than ten times as many
papers as the Daily Times
FOURTH-That in the cities of Springfield, Ham
llton and Piqua, Ohio; Lexington, Covington and
Newport, Kentucky; Greensburg, Vincennes and
Lawrenceburg, Indana-three representative cit
les in each of the three States tributary to Cncin
nati-the circulation OF the DAILY STAR is more
than fifteen times that OF the Daily Times.
FIFTH-That the DAILY STAR has lists OF regu-
ar subscribers in three times as many places
rs the Daily Times, and that these lists OF the
DAILY STAR average three times as many
subscribers as those of the Daily Times
We challenge the Daily Times to
a contradiction of these five prOpO-
Bitions, and offer to refer the matter
to any fair person of their selection,
and afford every means of arriving
at the truth, SO far as the circula-
ton of the DAILY STAR is COM
ceFned.

suade her to give up the search for her lost
boy, as they were sure he was dead, but
nothing could induce her to do so. She
firmly believed that he was alive, and that
she would yet find him.
A couple of weeks ago Mrs Martin and a
lady friend, while in this city, were walk
ing out George street, when fortune-tell-
er's sign attracted their attention. Imme-
diately the former said:
Lets go in and see if she can tell any
thing about my boy"
Her friend endeavored to dissuade her.
but it was no use, and in they went. After
the usual interview Mrs. Martin came away
with the information that her son was in
St. Louis, and letter addressed to him in
that city would lead to a reunion of the
family. She was delighted with the result
of her visit and wrote at once. Her friends
feeling sure that she was again to be disap-
pointed, endeavored to persuade her to
place no faith in the statement, but she
implicitly believed that she was about to
find her son, and, sure enough, promptly
came the reply-a long, loving letter, full
of flial affection, and saying that he had
been looking for the family ever since the
Southern army disbanded. Mrs. Martin and
her son-in-law, Mr.. Peters, left for st. Louis
at once, and now for almost week this
mother and son, separated by the stern
incidents of war and by misfortune left in
ignorance of each others Whereabouts for
over fifteen years, have been again enjoying
each others society.
Of course it was mere chance that made
the fortune-tellers story prove of such ad-
vantage, for an enlightened community
knows that no human being possesses the
power to know the affairs of the world in
such a way as any other construction would
indicate but Mrs. Martin and her son will
bless the chance that had such happy
result and care not to inquire very far into
the wherefore of its bringing about.
