The NEW YORK WEEKLY WITNESS
FOR 1878.

This journal, which will commence its
seventh year on LIST Of January next,
combines the interest of the religious,
temperance, and literary journal with
that of the newspaper at the lowest prac-
ticable price.
For all who buy and sell it offers most
carefully prepared market reports of
produce and live stock, and for the cap
italist and banker a remarkably reliable
report of stocks, bonds, gold, etc.
For the family it has . home depart
ment containing three columns Of letters
from ladies upon social and domestic
subjects; also, one column of letters
from the children, which interests them
greatly. This department is q speciality
of rare value and interest in the Witness.
There are also two or three columns of
letters from correspondents in all parts
of the country, some of them colored
preachers in the South, upon various
topics of general interest, a prominent
one being the advantages Of different re-
gions for emigrants. In the literary line
it has serial story and short stories for
children; reviews of books and extracts
from religious and literary journals,
magazines, ETC.. etc. 1t has also q care
fully selected agricultural department.
The religious and temperance elements
are prominent in the Witness. 1t gives
a ffrst-rate commentary on the Sunday
School lesson for the succeeding week, .
daily report of the Fulton street prayer
meeting; occasional sermons by Moody,
Spurgeon, Cook, Muller and others; &C.
clesiastical and missionary news, and
Daily Bread, with texts for every day of
the coming week.
For the patriot and politician, the
Witness gives three columns of extracts
from the leading political papers of New
York on the questions of the day, as
we'll as about seven columns of editorial
articles and notes. For all it has sum-
maries of the news of the week, home
and foreign, items of interest, selections,
clippings from contemporaries, etc.
The Weekly Witness, on account of its
great interest and low price, rose rapidly
to circulation of about 100000, being
the largest of any weekly newspaper in
the United States, but on account, we
suppose, of the long. continued hard
times, the circulation has diminished to
about 10000, figure which we hope to
see doubled with the return Of good
times.
The price is s1.50 per annum or 40
cents rer quarter. portage paid. Pay.
ment is invariably in advance, and the
paper stops when the subscription ex-
pires. The Witness is not connected
with any denomination, party, or class,
and we ask all who approve of thor
oughly evangelical, teetotal and fearless
newspaper to aid US in extending its
circulation among families.
New subscribers renting $3.50 for
1873, direct to the Office. will receive the
numbers of the unexpired year gratis.
The sooner they remit the more they
will get to the bargain. Any who wish
to give the Weekly Witness trial, may
have it three months for IS cents at this
season of the year, in the hope that they
will become permanent subscribers at
the full rate. JOHN DOUGALL,
Proprietor and Editor,

A FIRE broke out last Wednesday
night in the immense retail department
of Field, Letter & Co.-the we'll known
wholesale dry goods house of Chicago
and the building was almost entirely
destroyed. The large stock of goods
was also nearly ruined by fire and water.
The building was valued at over half a
million of dollars, and Field, Letter &
Co. estimate their loss on goods at about
100000. The building was insured
for 100000, and the stock for about
two-thirds its value. One fireman was
killed and four others wounded. Eight
hundred and fifty persons-one hundred
and fifty of them women and girls-are
thrown out of employment by this dis.
aster.

ELECTRIC CANDLES.

Among other battles at which ono a.

tween electric candles and gas light.
Yesterday evening visited this peculiar
candle mandatory, in the avenue de-
Villiers, the director of which Is Bus.

Joblockof. Now, as Voltaire observed,
light comes from the north. The labor.
atory is hung with colored stufs, which
can be as easily distinguished in their
shades "a if in full MONDAY. The
candles have the same ratio to gas and
oil lamps as the sun to moonlight. The
inventor poured some glasses of water
on the fame of his dips, but they burned
away all the same. They emit no smoke,
and consequently cannot blacken OBJ.
jects, nor any heat $50 times less than
an ordinary candle, hence books will
not fall out of their bindings, nor tapes

no fire, no explosions, and the light can
be laid down from three to fifteen times
cheaper than gas or oil light. The light
does not tremble or twinkle much, and
none at all if it passes through . globe

posed of two cylindrical sticks of char
coal, separated by a preparation of sand,

flows from one point to the other of the
charcoal rods. Each candle burns three
hours and the extinction of one lights
up another. We are more than on the
eve of a great discovery; but as the
proof of the pudding is the eating of it,
the invention will soon be tested, as the
circus, the opera, the Louvre drapery
shop, and the railway termini are to be
illuminated by the new process. 1t will
never be accepted by ladies for the ball

a multitude of sins.-San Francisco Call.

THEN CRIMINALS IN HIGH PLACES
WILL BECOME FEwER,-It now appears
that the time when high family connec.
tions, and much money, was a bar to
prosecution for criminal acts has gone
into the past. Within the past week an
embezzling president of Kansas bank
swindling broker who stood high in
srciety and the church; faithless trus.
tee who swan on the highest wave Of
business circles, and a clergyman who
capped the climax of his wickedness by
robbing his paramour. have all been
placed within the walls of a prison.
When punishment is certain to follow
upon detection, then criminals in high
places will become fewer.-Prairie Far

The Supreme Court of the United
States decided case few days ago that
reduces the railroad question to q very
simple proposition. An Ohio man
named Ulrich was elected from a Michi.
gan Southern and Lake Shore train, fol-
refusing to pay more than three cents
per mile. the rate fixed by the law of the
State. He brought suit for damages,
obtained verdict in the lower court,
which the. Ohio Supreme Court sus.
tanned, and now the tribunal of last re-
sort has again affirmed the justice Of bis
canse.- It would seem, therefore, that
American citizens have some rights
which railroad corporations are bound to
respect.-Er.

The Democrats seem to be doing q
little rejoicing over the result of the
late election in this county. We can
hardly see what there is to encourage
them particularly. The aggregate vote
polled is considerably less than was cast
last fall, but Horton and Humphreys
majorities are each greater than Hayes
received. For an "off year" this is a
pretty good showing for Republicans.
