THE RUBAL FOR 1869. 

 Hew Volume, New Dress, New Club Terms ! 



[ As tbla is the last full number of our present 

 volume, (the next comprising Index, Ac.,) we copy 

 tho following from a recent Rciul' (Supplement— 

 Inviting a perusal, and such action on the part of 

 the reader as seemeth proper: ] 



liAviMi resolved that the Tenth Volume of the 

 Ilo-BAL New -Yorker, for 1869, shall be " Excelsior" 

 In both Contents and Appearance — and ao re- 

 duced its clob rates aa to place the paper within 

 the reach nnd means of all,— we cordially invite 

 its Subscribers and Friends everywhere to aid in 

 Increasing Its circulation and maintaining its pre- 

 eminence as the Bbst Farm akd Fireside Journal 

 in Ambrica. The reduction in club terms will be 

 a decided benefit to the great masa of subscribers, 

 and lessen our receipts many thousand dollars on 

 the nnmher of copies now published. But we are 

 confident a part or all of this will bo made up by 

 additions to our circulation— as It certainly will 

 tf the friends of tho Kfbal and its objects, near 

 and distant, will kindly lend their influence to in- 

 oreMotusubscription list in their respective local- 

 ities. We have abolished the plan of offering 

 i.AROit pn \ulums to be taken by a few individuals, 

 and bow give liberal gratuities to Kicn and all in 

 proportion to their .(Torts end «nccC68. 



Wo not only address preaeut Sabscrjbers and 

 Friends, but thousands oi others who we believe 

 feel an Interest in promoting tho Cause and Objects 

 advocated by the Bubal. Wo therefore frankly 

 ask all to whom this Supplement Is mailed — and 

 we purposo sending it to numerous iouuentlal and 

 progressive Farmers aud Horticulturists all over 

 the land, as well as to rnauy Post-Masters, Mer- 

 chants, Clergymen, Ten- her*. Ao.,- to lend such 

 enoouragomeut lu behalf of the Rpbal as msy be 

 consistent with their views and engagement-.— 

 Those unacquainted wilh the paper are invited to 

 give any number of it a careful examination, (for 

 wo do not issue any extra attractive numbers, 

 as specimens, but endeavor to render each and 

 every one good and useful,) and then decide, upon 

 tta merits, whether it is entitled to the enconrage-

This, of its kind, is one of the longest documents

 clear idea of Its general drift. In as little 

 possible. 



A'amajfsthe opening feature— the story of the 

 agitation is rehearsed, and tbe President argues in 

 favor of the conrse he pursued. He congratulate! 

 tho country on the contrast of tbe agitation which

 o regard to this clause, tbe President remarks:— 

 Thia excellent provision, which Congress has ap- 

 plied to Kansfi', ought to be extended and rendered 

 applicable to all Territories which may hereafter 

 seek admission into the Union." This branch of

bls Longevity.— In the town of Lodi, 

 Seneca Co,, N. Y., in one neighbordood, may be 

 found four persons over 80 years of age, bIx over 

 7fi, and about the same number over 70. Three 

 have died within tho past few years who were over 

 00. In one family there are four brothers and a 

 sister living, (two of the brothers now In Lenawee 

 Co., Mich.,) whose agea respectively ore 87, 83, 80, 

 77, and tiO years, making a total of 3CG years. The 

 wiveaof the four brothers are all living, two being 

 pears old, and tbe others respectively 72 

 and 68. They have been married an aggregate of 

 over 300 years. One brother died a few years 

 alnco nearly 70, and a sister over 73. One of the 

 two brothers in Lodi has seen liia great-grand- 

 children, and at the present time (at the advanced 

 age of 83) "hla eyea are not dim, nor hla natural 

 strength greatly abated," and he bids as fair to 

 live in the full enjoyment of a good state of health 

 and of mental faculties for many years, as at the 

 age of 00. So writes a correspondent.
