question, and reports the meetings of the FARMERS' and 
FRUIT GROWERS' CLUBS for our columns. 
The Semi-Weekly Sean,

Is of the same size and general character as The Weekly, but 
lias space for a greater variety of miscellaneous reading, and 
furnishes the news to its subscribers with greater freshness, 
because it comes twice a week instead of once only. Its 
subscription is only TWO DOLLARS a year, the ordinary 
price of a New York weekly. This edition also contains 
the agricultural ami miscellaneous matter prepared for The

struments are in elegantly carved and finished rosewood

Any person competing for these prominms will please ad- 
vise us on sending in their lists and money. Competitors 
need not wait until they have completed their clubs, as 
SUBSCRIPTIONS MAY COMMENCE AT ANYTIME. Nomeed the 
subscribers all be from one Town or Post-office. All names 
sent by one person count, wherever they come from. 
All subscriptions sent in on account of premiums will be 
credited to the person sending them. Those who do not 
succeed in securing subscribers enough for the highest pre- 
miums arc at liberty to select from those of a lesser gr:ule. 
Where subscriptions are received too late In the fall, to 
avoid danger from frost the plants will be scut In the spring. 
We believe these valuable premiums will prove an In- 
centive to many persons who have the requisite leisure to 
turn it to profitable account. No household should be with- 
out a Clothes Wringer or Washer. Many rural churches 
and Sunday schools need an Organ. A little effort among 
the members may secure one. Thousands of soldiers' 
widows and other women in humble circumstances would 
be enriched by a Sewing Machine. Lots of young farm- 
ers, and old ones too, would find a Mowing Machine in- 
valuable ; a splendid Chickering Piano would be a fortune 
to many young ladies of musical tastes ; while a full paid up 
Life Insurance Policy of $1,000, in one of the best Com- 
panies In the Union, would be an invaluable provision for 
wife and children or others dependent upon the life of the 
assured. Any church congregation, by clubbing together, 
might secure one of these policies for their clergyman. A 
more acceptable Christmas present could not be offered him. 
When we add to these extraordinary inducements the plants 
and vines which go to each subscriber In addition to their 
sprightly and interesting Weekly or Semi-Weekly Sex, 
who will dare gainsay that we "shine for all," or dispute 
that our paper is not only the brightest and most readable, 
but the cheapest and most useful in tho United States ?
