The Journals 71st Birthday.

The Belfast Journal last week remarked
that it was II years old. 1t is paper to be
DR. oud of. whatever its age, for it is a model
weekly paper and credit to the State. We
presume it is unnecessary to wish 1t many
happy returns of its birthday, for it is sure
of that. Gardiner Keporter-J ournal.
