space required for advertisements during

1855 is even more striking.
The average daily space filed by advert

for the year; whereas for the year 1859 the y
average was 1915 columns, or 9223 column

DC (not householders). SO that its whole circula
ton may be literally said TO be in the family
circle. While Its aggregate circulation there
fore gives The STAR a dsStu.ctir. and p,riaJs
position IN modern Journalism, the fGilncss OF
its home circulation, the extent TO which
1t is relied upon by members OF the
household, and particularly by the pur'
chasing portion of the community, are
the marked characteristics of the paper,
to which no other daily Journal nov
published can furnish "A parallel.
This is no idle boast on the part of the paper.
1t is well established fact, demonstrated to
the full satisfaction OF the sagscious and enter
prising business men of Washington. who seek
and know where to find THE LARGEST
RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT
FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the
growth Of The Stars advertising patronage.
Nothing can more surely illustrate tie
esteem in which any article is held by the
public than a constantly increasing demand
for it-day by day, week by week, month by
month, and year by year,-in the face Of adj
verse claims and pretentiousc competition. The

In an Awkward Predicament,


Last week two Of Dedham's most popular
young men hired horse and carriage and
drove up the Charles river to a well-known
place on the banks much resorted to for bath
ing purposes. Undressing they carefully de-
posted their clothing in the carriage and to-
gether made dash for the cooling waves
Each instructed the other to hitch the horse.
and as "A result neither did so. Once IN the
water, the splashing frightened the animal,
and away he dashed down the highway leading
to Dedham village. This runaway left the
bathers in a peculiar predicament. and one of
much embarrassment They however, soon
recovered from the shock and started after
their vanishing team and garments. The sprint
ing confetti lasted from Jennys Lane. Spider
Village" up TO a point near Cart bridge, where
they .overhauled their stesd, stopped him, and
grabbing their quits jumped into them.
