Prospectus FOR 1876 OF THE
MONTREAL WITNELS."

THE friends of healthy literature have. by perse-
vering diligence placed the MONTREAL WITNESS in the
very first rank of newspapers. The rapid growth Of
trashy reading and of what is positively vile is slim
ulatiug good people to earnest efforts than
to fiji every household with sound mental food.
clergyman has lately secured for the WITNESS humid
reds of subscribers and declares his intention to
make this of his first dnties In his present and
every future field of labor. he holds that by no
other could he do much for the future of a
neighborhoOd by placing good reading Ia every
family.
Successive attacks upon the WITNESS during each
of the past three years eliminating in what has been
called 1.-The Ban" of the Roman Catholic Bishop of
Montreal although not otherwise desirable circum-
stances have done great deal to concentrate and
intensity the zeal of the friends Of temperance and
religious liberty in favor of the WITNESS Indeed the
fact that the last assault has been followed up six
months with the most untiring efforts to break down
the paper The part Of the most powerful moral Op-
position that could be organized earth. aud has
resulted in cutting off from some at least of those
Roman Catholic readers whose good viii we formerly
enjoyed and highly priced, gives perhaps. some
claim on the Kind offices of those who valued free
speech and freedom OF religious belief The actual
elimination of the circulation of the DAILY WITNESS
is of course comparatively small amounting TO about
500 out 1900 less than four per cent and does
not effect pecuniaTiy still claim crcu-
atiou equal in volume TO that OF all the rest of the
daily city press, probably the majority of old
Roman Catholic readers being such still.
The progress of the paper may be gathered approx
imately from the following figures:
