—and for a good and sufficient reason. Please 
mark tlie why and wherefore. Said paper is quasi- 
agricultu'ral. Its matter pertaining to rural affairs 
is principally taken from other journals, and much 
of it without credit. We have received number 
after number of it containing articles which ori¬ 
ginally appeared in the Rural, re-published with¬ 
out the least credit, and some of them leaded out 
as editorial, etc.! Thin, and this alone, is the rea¬

The Reason Assigned. 
In consequence of the breaking of machinery 
in the mill from which our printing paper is ob¬ 
tained, we are compelled to issue a part of this 
week’s edition on paper of inferior quality.— 
Those who happen to receive numbers with extra 
margin, are informed that such enlargement was 
forced—-and not submitted to until we had trav¬ 
eled some two hundred miles, and applied to three 
paper mills, in different places, in the hope of ob- 
readers, decide whether or not our course in the 
premises was fair and justifiable. And we trust 
thishastily-written and perhaps too wordy article 
will not only exonerate us in the eyes of the pub¬ 
lic, but convince our combative brother that, in¬ 
stead of “ kicking his ladder away” for the reason 
alleged, a white horse of a darker hue has deprived 
him of a continued exchange with the Rural 
New-Yorker !

ADDRESSED TO THE COUNTRY PRESS. 
Under ths head of “ Please Notice,” a paper 
published in Northern New York, has a savage 
article upon the course of certain popular news¬ 
papers. We have not room for the entire article, 
but quote what is most pertinent, and personal to 
ourselves. Speaking of largely circulated journals, 
The bribery case came up on Saturda* last, and 
Mr. Tarbox, the officer who attempted to bribe 
one cf the members, was discharged from his of¬ 
fice and ordered to be imprisoned for the remain¬ 
der of the session. 
Whatever may be said of many of the discus¬ 
sions and mauoeuverings in our Legislature, no one 
will charge members with wasting time while 
occupied on measures designed to to check bribery 
and log-rolling in legislation or preserve the 
bate concluded on Constitutional amendments. 
Assembly .—The most important bills passed in 
the House are named below : 
The bill to provide for tlie construction of a 
Railway from the outlet of Seneca Lake to the
