Tin aombcr completes tb« ^tond year of The Mail uod«r ilia preaent proprietorship. It la gratifying to utate that tbe paper never before had a more promising future. Tbe steadily increasing circulation la a substantial evident of growing popularity with the masses of reading people.

Cos Greencahtle Gooslper give# The Mail credit for introducing the nowsboy feature in that city. He says that on Saturdays the streets are folrly iwtriDtd with boys and that more Mails are eold than all tbe other papera combined. Tbe same report ootnea froaa all tbe neighbor towns. Advertisers who dealre to reach outside the city Hbould makes note of Ihli fact.

IT was a pronounced success. We refer to the Social at the Congregational Ghurcb, Tuesday evening. Tbe ladles of tbia church have bad several soelsls lit private hook* tbls winter, but this was tbe first held in tlse church parlors.
