MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY JOURNAL. 
iMilistjers Notices, &c. 
To Agents and Others. ^ 
gy Canadian subscribers will bear in mind that 
we are obliged to pay the American postage on their 
papers; and hence, in remitting subscriptions for the 
New-Yorker, they should add the amount of post¬ 
al (52 cents » yoar on each copy) to our usual 
terms. Many of our friends have omitted this im¬ 
portant item. Where they avail themselves of the 
advantages of clubbing, it subjects us $ kiss, and 
we cannot hereafter fill such orders, Sjficss the 
amount of Amoricau postage is received. 
djp Any person who has formed a club for this 
volume, will be furnished with additional copies at 
the same rate—provided their subscriptions expire 
with the club. For instance—if ID copies have 
been ordered, the price of one or more in addition 
will be $1,50 per copy; if 20 copies or over, direct¬ 
ed to individuals, others will be added at $1,25 
each; and if 40 copies, directed to one person, we 
shall charge only $ I per copy for additions to the 
club. Our friends will oblige us by bearing this in 
mind, and forwarding the subscriptions of such as 
wish to join clubs. 
Agen ts and others who form Clubs will bear in 
mind that it is not necessary that the papers should 
all be sent toone postoflice—(exceptin cases where 
40 copies or over are ordered to be addreirsed to one 
individual.) Some of our friends seem to be of 
the opinion that all the copies ordered by a club 
should bo sent together, but this is not required.— 
We will send to as many different offices as may be 
desired, provided our terms are complied with—and 
hence if any members of a club wish to receive 
their papers at any other office, or to send the New- 
Yorker to distant friends, they will be accommo¬ 
dated. _ 
Competitors for our Premiums must adhere 
to the terms specified in next column. We cannot 
of course allow a few to deviate, and stand an equal 
rhance with those who remit in full. Persons en¬ 
titled to specific premiums will please mention what 
books or volumes of the Farmer they want, in the 
letter containing their order and remittance. 
O” Money on all specie-paying banks wi',1 be re¬ 
ceived at par in payment for the New-Yorker.— 
Several bank notos or post-office stamps may be en 
closed in a letter without increasing the postage. 
Qjp Remember that monoy, properly enclosed, 
m aybe sent by mail at our risk. There is little or 
no danger of loss.

mensurate return for untiring efforts in a worthy 
cause. And we respectfully submit, that, by lend¬

this enterprise to a moet successful issue, you will 
at the same time be conferring benefit upon your 
fenow man. 
Turkish Cement. — Dissolve five or six bus ol 
gum mastic, each the sizs of a large pea, in as 
much spirits of wiue ae will suffice to render it 
liq fid; and in another vessel dissolve as much 
isinglass, previously a little softened in water 
(though none of the water must be used,) in 
French brandy or good rum, as will make a two 
ounce vial of the very strong glue, adding two 
small bits of gum gnlbauum, or arntnoniacum 
•which must be rubbed or grouud till they are dis 
solved. Then mix tho whole with a sufficient 
heat. Keep the glue in a vial closely stopped 
and when it is to be used set the vial in boiling 
water. The jewellers of Turkey have a singu 
lar method of oiuameuting watch cases, &c 
with diainouds and other precious stones, by sim¬ 
ply gluing or cemunltug them on with this pre¬ 
paration; it resiets moisture and drfoe colorless. 
A Strange French Falk —The Echo de 
Vceome says a woodman, engaged a few days 
back in cu’tiug up some old trees, discovered in 
the body of one of them a skeleton cased in a 
rusty armor. The form aud ornaments of the 
armor show that it goes back to the time of the 
religious wars. It is supposed that a wounded 
soldier had got into tho tree as a place of refuge, 
and when in a state of exhaustion had fallen into 
the hollow.

PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING 
A PIONEER HISTORY 
OF 
Phelps & Gorham's Purchase, and Morris’ Reserve. 
[MONROE.] 
BY O. TURNER, 
Author of the Pioneer History of the Holland Purchase. 
T IIIS is a deviation from the plan of publishmgoriginal- 
ly announced, to which no subscriptions were solicit¬ 
ed. Instead of publishing one work, under the general 
title of “ Phelps and Gorham’s Purchase, and Morris’ Re¬ 
serve,” it is now proposed to published in separate vol¬ 
umes, for each county, with titles as indicated above. In 
this plan it is confidently believed, the interests of author, 
publisher, purchaser, will be made to harmonize. It obvi¬ 
ates the necessity of a large work, of two volumes, and 
consequently, a higli price. While the citizens of Monroe, 
for instance, will have all the general history of Phelps and 
Gorham’s Purchase and Morris’ Reserve,—(embracing the 
counties of Monroe, Ontario, Yates, Steuben, and die great 
er portions of Wayne, Livingston, and Allegany,)—bro’t 
down to a late Pioneer period; and the local history of their 
own county; they will not be under the uecessily.of pur¬ 
chasing, at an enhanetd price, the mere local history of 
other counties. 
The publisher, with entire confidence, assures the citi¬ 
zens of Monroe, that the proposed work will fully meet 
their expectations, and merit their liberal patronage. Few, 
if anv. historical works haye been asbvell received, and as 
universally commended, as the author's published work:— 
*• The Pioneer History of the Holland Purchase.” It has 
met with the approval of the public press, of its readers, of 
our State authorities; and with those whose opinions are 
entitled to much weight, is regarded as one of our standard 
historical works. To whatever experience the authorship 
of that work may be supposed to have brought to the new 
enterprize, has been added, industry, and diligent research 
in all the archives of our local region. He has had access 
to records and memories hitherto Iinapproached by the his¬ 
torian; and has collected a mass of materials that will en¬ 
able his readers to make themselves familiar with all the 
interesting and instructive early Reminiscences; to trace 
step by step, and from year to year, the early Pioneer events 
of the Genesee Country;—this now Empire of wealth, pros¬ 
perity, and unparalleled progress. In addition to dilligent 
researcli among old records documents, there are few 
Pioneer neighborhoods the author has not visited, and list¬ 
ened to the recital of early events, from the lips of those 
who have participated in them. 
jfgjp* The work will be issued as soon as there are a suf¬ 
ficient number of subscribers to indemnify the expense.— 
It will consistof at least 500 large octavo pages, and in all 
respects shall be as well executed as the best modern speci¬ 
mens of works of a similar character. It will be delivered 
to subscribers in neat muslin landing, at $!,5U; ia substan¬ 
tial leather bindinsr, at $1,75. 
Agents will be careful to attach to each signature, 
the letters M. or L., (muslin, and leather.) to designate 
their preference. VVM. ALLING, Publisher, 
Rochester, 1851. [56] No. 10 & 12, Exchange st. 
THIS Journal has already attained a circula¬ 
tion of several thousand, and acquired a high re¬ 
putation. As an Agricultural and Family Paper it 
has no superior in the Nation. The extensive 
patronage and commendation accorded to the 
work, abundantly sustain thi3 assertion, and fur¬ 
nish the best evidence of its great value and 
popularity — for no journal, however cheap or at¬ 
tractive, could attain such a subscription aud 
standing, in so brief a period, without possessing 
more than ordinary merit 
The second volume will commence on the first 
of January, 1851. Relying mainly upon the 
merits and reputation of the paper for support, the 
Conductor deems it unnecessary to accompany 
this announcement with any extravagant language 
or pompous pledges. Still he may te permitted to 
| remark that the facilities at his command are such 
as to warrant him in believing and asserting that 
the coming volume of the Rural New-Yorker 
will be superior to its predecessor in most respects 
— and that he is determined to spare neither labor 
nor expense to render it far more valuable. 
As heretofore, and as its title indicates, the Ru¬ 
ral New-Yorkkk will continue to be mainly de¬ 
voted to Agriculture and Horticulture and their 
kindred Arts and Sciences — its chief object, end 
and aim being the promotion of the best interests 
of the Rural Population of the Country. But 
while this is its moat prominent feature, important 
subjects interesting to other classes receive proper 
attention. Its various Departments — embracing 
Agriculture, Horticulture, Mechanic Arte and 
Science, Education, Literature, General Intelli¬ 
gence, Reports of the Crops aud Markets, See, &c. 
— are conducted by gentlemen of experience and 
ability’, assisted by a large number of talented Cor¬ 
respondents. Avoiding the trash put forth in too 
many of the so-cailed family-journals of the day, 
our constant aim is to furnish such a work as shall 
prove eminently valuable and interesting, aud thus 
Improve the Mind, without vitiating the Taste or 
corrupting the Heart — one which will be sought 
and valued for the Usefulness , Variety, Purity 
and Excellence of its Contents. 
The Illustrations of the second volume will 
be superior to those already given. We intend 
to give 
OVER 200 ENGRAVINGS! 
Comprising many beautiful and costly illustrations, 
from original designs — thus appropriately embel¬ 
lishing the principal departments of the work.— 
Particular attention will be devoted to Rural 
Architecture, and the plans we shall give will 
probably be worth ten times the price of the p aper 
to many subscribers. 
We shall also present a series of Portraits of dis¬ 
tinguished Statesmen, Inventors, Divines, Heroes, 
&c. Our design is to give in the next volume at 
least 
26 DOUBLE COLUMN PORTRAITS, 
executed in the best style of the gravers art, ac¬ 
companied with biographical sketches, &c. 
Perjure and Forger? —We learn from the 
New Haven Palladium, that a father and son, 
named Pa'ker, of Waterbary, Conn., wore, a few 
days ago, bound over in the former place, in the 
sum of $5,000 to answer a charge of perjury and 
forgery. The facts arise out of a dispute about an 
estate of $20,000. 
Otsfgj Countv Bank.—A telegraph report 
from Uiica states that two of th3 O.sego County 
Bank robbers have been arrested, and that the 
officers are on tho track of the other. Most ol 
the money will be recovered. 
Extraordinary Surgical Operation —We 
learn, says the Boston Journal, that Dr. Warren, 
of this city, receu Iy took from the stomach of an 
Irish girl, at the Massachusetts general hospital, 
be means of an incision, a tape worm forty one 
fret eleven inches in length. 
The receut accident to the Hon. Preston King 
■—the breaking of his knee-pan—will prevent 
him from resuming his seat in Congress during

The leading Departments of the New-Yorker 
— Agriculture, Horticulture, Literature, News, the

As the paper is designed to benefit the Producing 
Classes, its pages will avoid or condemn humbug

will leave for the Old World during the present 
month. Ho will visit Engtaud, France, Belgium 
—and probably Scotland, Holland and Prussia —

Districts of those Countries. Our correspondent 
will also attend the

EIGHT LARGE QUARTO PAGES, (of five Columns 
each,) with Index, &c., at the close of each vol¬

FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS TO MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER, 
In order to augment the circulation and consequent usefulness of the Rural New- 
Yorker, and amply reward those disposed to lend a portion of their influence in its be¬ 
half, the Proprietor offers (in addition to the very liberal per centage allowed to local 
agents and clubs,) the following 
Premiums for Subscribers to Vol. IX, 1851. 
To the person or persons who shall send us the 
greatest number of yearly subscribers to the Rural 
New-Yorker from any one town, in proportion 
to its population, (according to recent U. S. Cen¬ 
sus,) between this date (December 1, 1850,) and 
the 1st of July, 1851, forwarding payment accord¬ 
ing to our club terms, WE WILL SEND THE 
NUMBER OF COPIES SO ORDERED AN¬ 
OTHER YEAR, FREE OF CHARGE ! 
[The above is the most liberal premium ever 
offered by an agricultural publisher. It is also the 
most fair, because it gives an equal chance to each 
town, whatever may be its population. Is it not 
worth contending for ?] 
We also offer the following 
GRAND PRISES! 
1st. To the person sending us the greatest number 
of yearly subscribers (six month subscriptions to be 
counted proportionally,) within the period above 
specified, and forwarding payment free of charge 
according to our club terms, wo will give a Premi¬ 
um of FORTY DOLLARS iu CASH ! 
2d. To the person sending the next (second) 
greatest number, within same period, and on like 
conditions, we will give THIRTY" DOLLARS, 
payable in PLATE, BOOKS, AGRICUL¬ 
TURAL IMPLEMENTS, or SEEDS, as may 
be preferred. 
3d. To the person sending the next (third) 
greatest number, as above, we will give TWENTY 
DOLLARS in Books or Implements. 
4th. To the person sending us the next (fourth) 
greatest number, as above, we will give FIFTEEN 
DOLLARS in Books or Implements. 
5th. To the person sending the next (fifth) 
greatest number, as above, we will give TEN 
DOLLARS in Books or Implements. 
6th. To each of the four persons sending us the 
next (6th, 7th, 8th and 9th,) greatest numbers, we 
will give THREE DOLLARS iu Books or Im¬ 
plements. 
[The Books to be such as may be preferred by 
the person entitled—either Agricultural, Scientific, 
Religious, School or Miscellaneous works.] 
We shall keep a correct account of the 
subscribers sent us by each person. After the 
first of March, we will publish, as often as once a 
month, until July, a list of the principal competi¬ 
tors in the order in which they may stand—giving 
the name of the person who has obtaiued the 
greatest number at the head. &c.,—so that all may 
know the prospect of success, and act accordingly. 
The premiums will be announced as soon after 
the 1st of July as possible—probably the second 
week. 
Still Another Liberal Prize l 
We will give a Premium of TEN DOLLARS 
in CASH, to the person who sends us the greatest 
number of subscribers between this date and the 
first of January ensuing. 
(tSgT Persona competing for this Premium must 
mail their remittances on or before the 3lst of De¬ 
cember. They will likewise bear in mind that the 
person who obtains it may also secure both the 
Town and Forty Dollar Premiums ! 
To those who do not compete for the preceding, 
W6 offer the following 
SPECIFIC PREMIUMS: 
For a remittance of $2, previous to the first of 
March next, we will send the New-Yorker one 
year, and the Genesee Farmer for 1848 or 1849, 
(as preferred) stitched and bound in colored paper, 
suitable for mailing. For $5, as above, we will 
send three copies of the New-Yorker one year, and 
bound volumes of the Farmer for 1848 and 1849. 
For $15 we will send 10 copies of the New-York¬ 
er—and an extra copy, and any three volumes of 
the Farmer published iu octavo form, [except the 
present one,]—or [instead of extra copy and Far¬ 
mers] $2 in Books. For $25 or more we will 
send 20 copies of the New-Yorker—and an extra 
copy, and five volumes of the Genesee Farmer, 
from 1845 to 1849, inclusive, [being all the vols. 
published in octavo form, except the present]—or 
[instead of extra copy] $2 in agricultural or other 
Books. 23F” Competitors for these premiums 
must mention the fact and designate what they 
want, in the letter containing remittance—when 
the premium selected will be immediately for¬ 
warded. 
jpgp” In order that Post-Masters, Local Agents 
and others may have a fair and equal chance to ob¬ 
tain the Premiums, neither traveling agents, post- 
riders, residents of Rochester nor city booksellers 
are included in our offer. [We may offer other 
prizes to persons here excluded.] 
The undersigned was the first agricultural pub¬ 
lisher who offered premiums in this manner—and 
the same course having since been adopted and 
continued by many of his cotemporaries, is con¬ 
clusive evidence of its utility in compensating to 
some extent the friends of agricultural publications 
for their generous and valuable assistance. And, 
without claiming any patent-right, he will endeavor 
to keep in advance of all others, by offering the 
most liberal and valuable premiums. After perus¬ 
ing the above, and considering tlft limited age and 
circulation of the New-Yorker in comparison with 
the long established monthly agricultural papers, 
those interested will see at a glance that our propo¬ 
sition is decidedly the most liberal yet offered. 
Specimen numbers. Prospectuses, dice., 
furnished free to all competitors or others who may 
! be disposed to lend their kind offices in behalf of 
" the Rural New-Yorker.
