TEE STAR GOES BOOMING.
And Tomorrow Bigger, Brighter and Better
StiIl-Eight Pages.

S6OS'
We venture the statement that the
circulation Of no daily paper in Cincin-
natl has ever before increased as fast as
that of the STAR during the present
week. Every one of our forty OF fifty
city carriers report new subscribers in
large numbers every day, and agents in
the surrounding cities and towns are all
sending in by every mail large additions
to their lists. In very many cases where
we had already good lists the number
has been doubled this week, and in hun
dreds of other places very large addi-
tions are reported. Everywhere the re-
suit of our recent change rs satisfac-
tory fan beyond anything we dared
hope. An increase in circulation that
previous to this week was gradual
now goes booming. Every agent and
carrier is enthusiastic, every old sub
scriber is pleased and every new one adj
mits his subscription to the STAR to be
the best investment he ever made. We
propose to show our appreciation of this
by doing more than we promised. To,
morrow, and every Saturday hereafter,
the STAR will appear eight pages in size
and equal in every particular to the very
best of the higher-price dailies. W.
mean that the STAR shall reach cireu
laion of fifty thousand papers day, ant
from present appearances the peopl'

been tried three times. On the first
trial verdict for the plaintiffs was re-
turned.
A new trial was granted, and with the

The government has acted with need
less haste and severity in resolving to put
tbe United States in the schedule of in
fected countries. The outbreak OF pleuro-
nneumonia in cargo of cattle landed at
LIVERPOOL nearly fortnight ago made 1t
desirable that a strict watch should be
kept over the trade both at the port OF
embarkation and at that of landing; but
watchfulness might have given a com
plete and effectual guarantee against the
importation of the disease. Z,
II seems to exist in some parts OF the
United States pretty much as 1t does at
home. where isolated outbreaks have
been reported within the last few days
at places as wide apart as Sheerness and
Boatle. in Lancashire, and in November
at Wiganthorpe, near Maldon. The
American Government, however, deny
that pleuro-pneumonia exists at all in the
Western States, from which the cattle
sent to Liverpool come. 10 schedule
the whole country from the Gull to the
Canadian border because disease has
been detected in single cargo is, there
fore. a most sweeping measure, an ex-
planation of which will, We hope, be
asked as soon as Parliament assemblies.
| At a late meeting of the Council of
the Roval Agricultural Society, report
from the Veterinary Committee was
adopted, which urged this hasty measure
on the Government. In the course OF
the discussion on the motion one of the
members expressed his belief that the
restrictions already existing were suili-
cient to prevent the disease even from
infected cargoes, and warned the Coun-
Gil that if the foreign cattle trade were
SO hampered that meat was forced up to
famine price, an outcry would be raised
throughout the country, and last years
act would be repealed. 1t seems to be
generally admitted that the trade IN
american cattle will be greatly dis.

A Princess sliding Down Hill.
TIn,1o,a TrI,tb

Here is an extract of letter from
Canada, which gives an account of tobog-
oenine; "The Governor General tried his
hand at it, and bit Of his coat got loose
somehow under the toboggen, which rs
always fatal. Over he went in the steep
est part of the second plunge, but luck
iIy the snow was too soft to hurt. Then
he took it into his head to try going
down shorter hill, with jump right
on to the skating rink. We tried hard
TO dissuade him, for if persons are shot
off with such an impetus on, the ice Is
very different landing from the soft snow,
and we knew what would happen if the
Princess caught sight of him. However,
off he went; the toboggen rose straight in
the snow like a horse does at fence,
shot on to the ice, aud right across the
rink all safe.
"Then several gentlemen followed him
By this time up came the Princess, who
we had hoped was safe at the bottom o.
the big slide, and too busy hauling VI
her toboggen to notice us. Of course
nothing would suit her but she must tr.
II that instant herself, so all that coult
be done was to level the snow-bank lit
tie 20 as to make the toboggen jump
little less violently, and put one to catcl
heron the other side, and off she went
