Nov. 8, ’94 MISTAKES ABOUT NEWSPAPERS. “The Imprint” is a small and neatly printed periodical, published in Toronto and “’innipcg in the in- terest of the printing craft. In num- ber one, of volume two, it contains an article. headed “ The Newspapers of rToronto," purporting to be a “ con- densation of the News’ facts, figures and dates about newspaper matters generally in the Queen City.” This condensed article inciltions the names of various newspapers published in the Town of York and City of T0- ronto, but overlooked the fact that there had been other newspapers, not referred to. Tile News’ article is also mistaken as to the "first daily;” for many years before the one re- ferred to, there was a. daily paper issued in November. 1830, but was short lived. in proof of this we copy from “ The Albion of Upper Canada,” printed by John F. Rogers, dated 17th September, 1836 (of which Mr. Cull was the editor), in the “ southâ€" east corner of the. Market Building, Toronto,” a. paragraph in its editorial column, which reads as follows z~ “ The proprietor has also the “ pleasure to acquaint the subscribers “to The Albion. that he has entered “into an arrangement with the prO» “prietcrs of the New Daily Paper “(which will be published the first “ week in November next), for ob- “taining conjointly with them, able “and faithful reports of the debates “in the coming Parliament, which ’~‘ will enable him to giVe. to his read- “ ers proceedings of both Houses, in a “way in which they have never “ been hitherto published.“ . Vie are assured that the “New Daily paper” was issued about that time, but was short-lide for want of sufficient support; but. all the same, it was the first daily newspaper printed in Toronto. ’ The list of newspapers as given by ,the extract from the News, is as follows, viz :â€" 1. “ The Upper Canada Gazette or American Oracle," published in 1791. '2. “ The Upper Canada Guardian or Freeman’s Journal”â€"â€"in opposition to aboveâ€"by Joseph Wilcox. 3. “The Observer" appeared in 1820. 4. "‘ The Canadian Freeman," by Francis Collins, in 1525. l" o. “ The Patriot," by T. Dalton, in 1833‘. G. “The Colonist." by Hugh Scobie, 1838. 7. “ The Examiner," Hincks, 1840. 8. “ The Banner' and “ The Globe," by George Brown, 1814pâ€" (? sec comment as to “ first daily") 9. “ The Daily Telegraph,“ by Robertson_& Cook, 1866. 10. “The Mail," by T. C. Patter-v son, in 1872., 11. “The Telegram," Ross Robertson, 1870. 1:2. “The World," by W. F. Mae» lean, M. P., 1880. 13. “The News," by E..E. Shep-- pard, in 1881. 14. “The Empire,” Creighton, in 1887. 15. “The Star,” (the ymmgest daily) by T. A. Gregg, in 189?». I6. “ The Sun,"â€"of very brief ex< istenceâ€"by E. A. Maedonald, 1893. Here ended the list of Toronto newspapers, as published in the ar- ticle referred to. We now give the names of Toronto newspapers that have been overlook~ ed or unknown to the News man, but thanks to Mr. M. Teefy, our post master (who, by the way, served an apprenticeship as a printer in The "Patriot ofiiee in the years 183640, «under the control of that genial and by Francis ) by John by David lssntsrs 1., , Thomas Dalton, Esq.#father of the present dowc (Yer Lady Wilson), we have the carefully selected specimens of old large-hearted old Tory, ncivspapers among his extensive tiles that enables us to call the attention of our readers to many newspapers published in Toronto, but which ap- pear to have been filrgottcn. They are:â€" 1. “The Albion," 1836, before mentioned. 2. “The Courier of Upper Can- ada,” by ,ieorge Gurnett. 3. “ The Christian 1829. 4. “ The Mirror," 1837, by Donley and McTavey. 5. “The Palladium,“ 1838, by C. Fothcrgill. 6. “The Globe,” by John Carey, 1840. 7. “ ‘hc Canadian Co1‘1‘espoinlelit.” by Rev. Dr. O‘l‘ll‘ady, 1833. 8. “The Leader," 1851, by James, Beatty, edited by Charles Lindsay. 9. “The United Empire," 1852, by Ogle R. Gowan. Guardian." 10. “ The Catholic Citizen,” by Michael Hayes, 1854. 11. “The Canadian Freeman,” 1858, by J. G. Moylan, editor, and James Mallon, printer. 1:2. “ The North American,” William McDougall & Co., 1850. 13. “The Star,” by W. J. Contest, 1845. ll. “ IlleKenzie’s Message,“ 1856. Not taking into account “ Punch," “The Grumblcr,” “Momus,” and others of that ilk, but of smaller calibre. We submit the foregoing remarks to the readers of Tun LIBERAL as points of history in our Newspaper Literature; we consider they are worth remembering. by OUR VILLA GE CRITICISED. The Weston Times evidently does not like to hear of the prosperity of ister villages. Last week our cotem referred to the fact that a country newspaper had given Richmond Hill “praise for lowness of taxes and no public debt.” The Times then gave a comparison between our villa pie and YVeston, mentioning the Public Schools, Mechanies’ Institute, etc., making the comparison as prejudicial to Richmond Hill as possible. llut as the editor was not disposed to speak too well of the place while. he was publishing the York Herald here, no one will be surprised that he is al~ ways ready to give us a kick new that he is gone. The following eleâ€" gant sentence, however, shows where the shoe pinches this time :â€"â€"“ Taxes are. assessed and collected en property, which returns no revenue to the own- er, with impunity and unjustly.” We sympathise with our Weston brother in his having a vacant house “across the way,” but cannot see how our council can excuse him from paying taxes. If Weston does not assess un- occupied property wo believe it is the only municipality in the province that has such a law. We cannot be- licve it. mm lfyou want to buy or Srll a farm ad- vertise in the anopto Weekly Mai‘.
