The New York “Weekly Witness” possesses a unique feature of remarkable interest in its Home Department, namely: About three columns of original letters from Ladies each week, on almost every subject of social interest, and one column of letters from Children. The “Witness” Commercial Reviews, Produce Price Currents and Financial Articles are unsurpassed; and it has a great amount of reading matter suitable for the Family, including three columns for Farmers and Gardeners, and the weekly Sabbath-school Lesson, by Rev. Dr. Wm. M. Taylor.

Terms, $1.50 a year, or $1 for eight months.

ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT.

A limited space in our Magazine is devoted to Advertisements, for which our low rates and large circulation make its pages specially valuable. Our readers are among the best in the country, having an established character for integrity and thrift that constitute them valued customers in all departments of business.

To Advertisers using display type and Cuts, who are accustomed to the “RULES” of the best News-papers, requiring “DOUBLE RATES” for these “LUXURIES,” our wide pages, fine paper, and superior printing, with =no extra charge for cuts=, are advantages readily appreciated, and which add greatly to the appearance and effect of business announcements.

We are, thus far, gratified with the success of this department, and solicit orders from all who have unexceptionable wares to advertise.

Advertisements must be received by the TENTH of the month, in order to secure insertion in the following number. All communications in relation to advertising should be addressed to

J. H. DENISON, Adv’g Agent, 56 READE STREET, NEW YORK.
