      ANNUAL PRIZE LIST.

      OPEN FOR COMPETITION UNTIL JANUARY 15

      th

      , 1879.

      Gold Watch. Sewing Machine. Silver Watch.

      In addition to the smaller premiums which we offer and which every body may get, there is a prize of a Lady's or Gentleman's Gold Watch, a Sewing Machine, Silver Watch, and a Small Patent Churn.

      The person securing the largest sum in subscriptions to the Witness Publications before January 15th, 1879, will receive a Solid Gold Watch, suitable for either a lady or a gentleman.

      The person sending in the second largest amount in subscriptions to the Witness Publications will receive a first-class Sewing Machine.

      To the person third on the list, a magnificent Solid Silver watch will be sent.

      To the person fourth on the list will be sent a small patent churn, suitable for a farmer who has a small number of cows.

      The Churn is most simple in construction, and is therefore easily worked, and is not apt to get out of order.

      Renewals, as well as new subscriptions count in for the above mentioned prizes.

      JOHN DOUGALL & SON,

      Montreal.

      PREMIUMS FOR THE MILLION.

      In making up our Fall list of premiums we have tried to introduce as many new articles as possible, but owing to the request of many of our last year's workers who did not succeed in gaining all the prizes that they wished for, we again offer some of the articles which last year were most sought after. The Skates seem to have been the favorite of the Young Folks, as over 700 pairs have been sent away to successful competitors, and in every case, as far as we have learned, gave entire satisfaction; we, therefore, for a short time only, offer the skates as premiums on the following terms:

      THE CANADIAN CLUB SKATE.

      To any Boy or girl sending us $9 in new subscriptions to any of the Witness publications, we will send, securely packed and all charges paid, one pair of the CANADIAN CLUB SKATES, worth $2.75 per pair.

      EUREKA CLUB SKATE

      For $10 in new subscriptions we will send the all-steel EUREKA CLUB SKATE, which retails at $2.75. For $15 in new subscriptions we will send by express a pair of the celebrated steel and iron welded EUREKA CLUB SKATE, worth $4.

      THE DAILY NEWSPAPER: THE HISTORY OF ITS PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION.

      Re-printed from the New Dominion Monthly.

      1878.

      THE WITNESS BUILDING.

      Guttenberg and Faust were good printers. Their beautiful work still remains in proof that the moneyed partner was not in league with the Evil One, even were it not known that the first book which issued from their press was the Bible. Notwithstanding that it has often been asserted, and may be reiterated for centuries to come, that the fruit of the printing press is irreligion, the pages of the Mazarin Bible—the earliest printed book known—remain still perfect and bright as the morn that work issued complete from the press, four hundred years ago and more,—an evidence that in the minds of the pioneers of the art, good, and not evil, was the controlling influence. And the history of printing ever since, shows that the bright days of the art, in any part of the world whatsoever, have been ever contemporaneous with increasing prosperity, intelligence and progress in the more important things of life.

      Time had not reached its greatest value in the anticipatory days of the art; the world had not then been scoured to find the materials wherewith to make cheap ink and cheap paper. The early printers, in their work, had either to rival the exquisite manuscripts of the monkish transcribers of written knowledge, or be considered far behind in the art preservative of all arts. Everything was done conscientiously in those days, and with the greatest care. The inventors were the printers, and their hearts were in their work. Printers then looked upon their productions as works of art. Their competition did not come in the shape of speed in production, nor lowness of price, but in that of excellence of material and beauty of execution; and when a man paid a fortune for a book, he expected that it would be an heirloom to be handed from generation to generation, to the end
