OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker, is one of the very best 
family journals with which we are acquainted. Its me¬ 
chanical execution, its illustrations, and the arrangement 
oi its contents are complete. The character ot its editori¬ 
als, communications, and selections are of the highest 
order. It must obtain a wide circulation.—[Louisville 
Journal. 
We have before us a pictorial number of Moore’s Rural 
New-Yorker, a paper valuable for its numeroqs illustra¬ 
tions, and for its fidelity as an organ ol the country— its 
peculiar interests and pursuits. * * * -j'h e 
leature of the Rural New-Yorker is the fact that it lays a 
mass of agricultural knowledge within the reach of its 
readers Mr. Moure ought to make a fortune out of his 
Journal, and «c trust he will, for he is helping to make 
the fortune of the country. We bid him “God Speed.’’ 
—Ohio Statesman. • 
We can recommend nothing better, in its way, to farm- 
eis: or to farmer’s good wives; or to all young Ldies who 
ever expect to become good wives; or to :my and all, of 
whatever sex or age, engaged in rural, economical, and in¬ 
dustrial pursuits, than the Rural New-Yorker.—[Christian 
Herald. 
Take it all in all, we think the Rural decidedly one of 
the best newspapers published in the country. It has va¬ 
riety and talent, wit, humor and story, and is always a 
welcome visitor to the fire-side or the study. We think 
every body ought to take the Rural. It will pay with 
compound interest.—[Penn Yan Democrat.
