Your attention especially is invited to the reports of mar¬ 
kets, and movements of produce. The butter and cheese 
articles of the Witness are now regarded as a very good 
criterion for shippers and purchasers, and as giving a fair 
idea of the real state of the market, with a record of actual 
transactions. 
In these times of considerable fluctuations in prices, the 
value of a reliable report can hardly be over-estimated.

THE METHODIST is a religious newspaper in 
the true broad sense of the term ; though denomi¬ 
national in name, is unsectarian in spirit, inculcat¬ 
ing true Christian charity between Evangelical 
Christians of every name. 
The Publishers invite attention to a few of its 
leading features:—its editorial pages are marked 
by[able writing; its correspondence is spicy and in¬ 
teresting ; its Contributed Articles able and interest¬ 
ing ; its exposition of tlie “ INTERNATIONAL 
BtBLE LESSON ” lias been pronounced tlie best 
published ; its SERMON DEPARTMENT is especi¬ 
ally attractive, furnishing A WEEKLY SERMON 
from representative preachers of the Methodist and 
other denominations, reported expressly for its 
columns. The CHILDREN’S DEPARTMENT is 
particularly rich and interesting, containing Fresh 
Stories, a Chat with the Little Folks, Choice Selec¬ 
tions, Puzzles, Enigmas, etc. It furnishes news 
from the various branches of the great Methodist 
family and other denominations, together with in¬ 
teresting Miscellany, embracing Poems, Sketches, 
Incidents of Travel, etc. In short, the aim of its 
publishers is to make it in every respect a complete 
Religions and Literary Newspaper. 
It will be edited, as now, by 
DAVID H. WHEELER, D.D., 
late Professor of English Literature in the North¬ 
western University, at Evanston, Ills., who is an 
able and ready writer, and who brings to his work 
ability, culture, and experience, and of whom 
Zion's Herald says that he “exhibits more than 
ordinary facility for editorial work, and marked 
felicity " in short and sharp comments upon the 
patent thoughts of the hour.” 
The Methodist is one of the handsomest of the 
religious weeklies, it contains 20 pages every week, 
with leaves all shaved and backs gummed. Its 
price has been reduced to Two Dollars and Fifty 
Cents a year, with an additional 20 cents for yearly 
postage, which remit with above, making in all §2.70.
