PUBLISHER'S SPECIAL NOTICES. 
IVotice to Advertisers— Advance of Kates.— After the 
Igt, of January, I860, the Terms of Advertising in the Rural 
New-Yorker will be Thirty-Fits Cents a Line, each inser¬ 
tion, in advance. A price and a half for extra display, or 
52X cents per line of space. Special NoTiCES-following 
reading matter, leaded—Seventy Cents a Line, each inser¬ 
tion. These rates are predicated upon a circulation at least 
double that which the Rural had when our rate of 25 cents 
a line was established. We have already received 
more advertisements than we wish to give in the first num¬ 
ber of the new volume. 
To Printers and Publishers— Type for Sale. -The 
Type used in printing this volume of the Rural, is offered 
for sale at half the original cost. It is White’s beet hard 
metal, and also copper- faced-hasbeen used only one year, 
and is still good, as the impression of this number proves.— 
It consists of about 700 Its. Minion, 225 Bis. Agate, 150 its. of 
Nonpareil, and sundry fonts of head-letter, Ac. Terms, 
Cash—deliverable January 1st, 1860. 
Also for sale, duplicates of a thousand or more Engrav¬ 
ings, such a3 have been used in illustrating various Rural, 
.Scientific, Historical and other subjects in the Rural New- 
Yorker, during the past ten years. 
Clubbing with the Magazines, Ac.—We will send 
the Rural New-Yorker for 1860 and a yearly copy of either 
The Atlantic , Harper's , Godey's , or any other $3 maga¬ 
zine, for $1. The Rural and either The Horticulturist , 
Honey's Magazine, Arthur's Magazine, or any other 
$2 magazine, for $3. Canada subscribers must add the 
American postage. 
25?” The Rural is published strictly upon the cash 
system— copies are never mailed to individual subscribers 
until paid for, and always discontinued when the subscrip¬ 
tion term expires. Hence, we force the paper upon none, 
and keep no credit books, experience having demonstrated 
that the Cash System is altogether the best for both Subscri¬ 
ber and publisher. 
C3£~ Postage on the Rural.— The postage on the Rural 
New-Yorker is only 3 'A cts. per quarter, or 13 cts. a year to 
any part of this State, (except Monroe county, where it goes 
free,) and 6 'A cts. a quarter, or 26 cts. a year, to any other 
part of the United States, payable quarterly in advance at 
the office where received. 
ROCHESTER, N. Y., DECEMBER 24, 1859. 
FINALE OF VOLUME X. 
BRIEF AND TIMELY ITEMS AND REMINDERS. 
Tins No. adds “Finis” to Yol. X.of the Rural 
New-Yorker, and terminates our engagements 
with all whose subscriptions expire therewith. 
As we adhere strictly to the CAsn system in its 
publication, a prompt renewal is necessary to 
secure the uninterrupted continuance of the 
paper. Though some will neglect to renew, and 
others be induced to substitute a trashy literary, 
or merely political paper—as did some last year, 
to the subsequent regret of themselves and their 
families —we are confident, from the large number 
of renewals and new subscribers already received, 
that we shall part company with but very few, 
while our accessions will be far greater than ever 
before. Of the few that drop the Rural, more 
will do so through neglect or procrastination than 
desire or intention ; hence, believing they will 
invite its visits again after a few or many days, 
we will bid none a final farewell. Thousands are 
already renewing all over the land, and other 
thousands joining the Rural Standard—all of 
whom, whether old friends or new, are and will 
be cordially welcomed, and we shall labor to 
render unto each and all ample pleasure and profit 
for their respective investments. 
—And here we frankly ask every friend of The 
Rural, —and of useful, pure and hence safe litera¬ 
ture,—to speak and act in its behalf at a season 
when only a little effort is necessary to augment 
its circulation and benefits. Its low price—and 
especially its remarkably low club rates, com¬ 
pared with those of any similar journal—renders 
it necessary for us to rely mainly upon the vol¬ 
untary efforts of those who like the paper and 
believe it is benefiting the People, the cause of 
Improvement and the Country. But its price 
places it within the reach and means of every one 
who has a garden, farm or family— whether in 
couutry, village or city—and hence it is compara¬ 
tively easy for its friends to increase its circulation 
and usefulness. Now is the best time to do this, 
and we trust every interested reader of the Rural 
will lend such attention and influence in that 
direction as may be consistent and convenient. 
While we are laboring for your benefit, Reader, 
please become our proxy and do what it is impos¬ 
sible for us to perform in person— present the 
claims and merits of the paper to your friends, A 
little effort now —a few kind and truthful words, 
and showing the paper to this and that neighbor 
—will secure from three to ten, twenty or thirty 
new subscribers in your neighborhood, school 
district or township. Why, this very morning 
(Dec. 20,) we received from a subscriber near 
Lancaster, Pa.,—a neighbor of President Bu¬ 
chanan, but none the better or worse for that—a 
list of seventy-one subscribers, mostly new. You 
may not equal this, but if you try you can form a 
club. We this morning received a handsome list 
from a subscriber in Greene Co.—mostly new sub¬ 
scribers. His friends predicted a failure when he 
started, “ but,” he writes, “ I tried, and the result 
is before you.” And you can do likewise, if you 
will. Local effort is a sphere in which you are 
potent and cau succeed, and we trust will kindly 
manifest your interest in the Rural New-Yorker 
by proper and timely action. 
See Terms, Special Notices, &c., on next page. 
A Valuable Volume. —The Tenth Volume of 
the Rural New-Yorker contains more valuable 
and interesting reading, and has cost more labor 
and money, than can be easily estimated. The 
very complete Index of the leading departments, 
given herewith, will give the reader some idea of 
the labor and expense devoted to the volume, and 
of its value as a work of reference. We index 
over three thousand five hundred Articles, and three 
hundred and twenty-six Engravings ! —and yet not 
half the articles and items are indexed. The 
volume contains at least ten thousand distinct 
articles and paragraphs of interest. May we not 
safely challenge any Agricultural, Horticultural, 
or Family Journal extant—not only in the number 
and variety, but value and interest of the articles 
and illustrations given in this volume? And 
where can so much useful, instructive and enter¬ 
taining reading be obtained for $2 (to say nothing 
of our club rates, $1,50 and $1,25)—aje, or for 
twice or thrice that amount, in books? 
— A friend is concerned lest some of onr sub¬ 
scribers will stop the Rural and take a political 
paper instead next year, (to elect a President and 
“ save the Union,”) but any man who stops the 1 
Rural, and thus deprives his famil/y of its reading, 
will miss a figure, and lose more than we shall in 
the operation. We think our subscribers are 
generally sensible enough to appreciate that, 
without argument. 
‘'Progress and Improvement.” —The improve¬ 
ments we are instituting in publishing the Rural 
for 1860, will involve considerable extra expense. 
For instance, the paper for which we have con¬ 
tracted is to be of better quality and heavier than 
that heretofore used, and will cost much more. 
We have also instituted a reform in the printing— 
press work—of the paper, which will be manifest. 
The proper inauguration of our new Mailing 
Machine will subject us to considerable expense. 
The materials and type-setting necessary to start 
the process will alone cost nearly two thousand 
dollars, aside from expense of machines, their 
operation, &c. But we think, or trust, all these 
items will be appreciated—for we anticipate better 
paper and printing, and great accuracy and dis¬ 
patch in our mailing department. 
— The Contents of the new volume will vie 
with its Appearance. We have made no startling 
announcements to catch gulls,— as that business 
is overdone by our contemporaries,— yet have 
more and better material and facilities at command 
than ever before wherewith to enter upon a new 
year and volume, and are determined to use 
them to the best advantage. Time will determine 
whether the Rural for 1860 exhibits decided 
“Progress and Improvement.” 
Nay, Gentlemen! —We are in frequent receipt 
of letters asking us to vary from our published 
terms, or what we will give for a certain number 
of subscribers;—if we will take $1,25 per copy for 
ten copies — if we can’t afford the Rural “for a 
dollar”—what we will give extra for so many 
subscribers—what is the best we can do in certain 
cases, and so on. Now, we are called amiable, 
liberal and accommodating by those who know us 
personally, and it would certainly afford us plea¬ 
sure to say aye, but we must adhere to published 
terms and rates, and cannot make private offers to 
any one. Whatever price we receive for the paper, 
or whatever we offer for efforts in behalf of its cir¬ 
culation, is and will be, printed— and we have 
no time to write letters on the subject. The rates 
of the Rural ar efar less than those of any similar 
journal of its size and value in the world, while 
we think our gratuities are more liberal. We have 
not made a dollar'sprofit on the subscription of the 
paper the past year — having lived on its receipts 
for advertising—and probably shall make nothing 
next. We must have rules and rates, and adhere 
to them. Those who want a cheaper paper—or 
one which can be had for less money—must look 
elsewhere; and those who think our offers for aid 
in circulating the Rural are insufficient, are of 
course at liberty to withhold their influence. 
This Volume op the Rural can still be fur¬ 
nished, as we purposely retained an extra edition 
of each number to supply the demand at the end 
of the year. Those whose files are incomplete, can 
be furnished numbers which are lacking, by ap¬ 
plying early. Bound volumes will be ready in a 
few days — price, $3. Unbound copies will be 
furnished at our usual rates—and can be ordered 
with clubs for the next volume at the same rate as 
the club, until wc announce otherwise. 
— We would again state that neither of the first 
five volumes of the Rural can be furnished. We 
can supply the others—1855, ’56, ’57, and ’58— 
bound, at $3 each. The only volumes we can 
furnish unbound are those of last year and this 
(1858 and ’59)—price, $2 each. 
The Rural as a Present. —Several inquiries on 
the subject,- remind us that we have inadvertently 
omitted to state that the next volume of the Rural 
will be furnished at the lowest club rate—$1,25 
per copy—in all cases where it is sent to friends 
or relatives as a present. Many of its readers 
annually send from one to ten copies to distant 
friends—considering the Rural the best present 
they can make, as it renders the recipient glad 
fifty-two times in the course of the year, and as 
often reminds him or her of the kind remembrance 
of the donor. How many shall we make thus 
happy in 1860 ? 
The Young Ruralists are taking advantage of 
our offer to give Webster’s Unabridged Diction¬ 
ary, Pictorial Edition, to any minor remitting pay 
for forty subscribers previous to Christmas. One 
young man in Kalamazoo Co., Mich.,—(G. W. 
Finlay) —has already become entitled to the Dic¬ 
tionary, (which has been forwarded,) and many 
others are competing. As we wish to give all the 
boys and girls a chance to secure this splendid 
gratuity, we hereby extend the time of competition 
to the 10th of January. We hope* the seniors will 
i not grumble, as some have, on account of this lib¬ 
eral offer in behalf of “Young America.” 
Thanks to the Press. —We tender grateful 
acknowledgments for the kind, cordial and highly 
complimentary notices of the Rural New-Yorker 
which are appearing in various papers throughout 
the United States and the Canadas. Our brethren 
of the Press are the most competent judges of the 
first cost, taste and value of a Newspaper, and 
when they almost universally concur in pronounc¬ 
ing the Rural the best of its class, we may perhaps 
be permitted to “follow copy,” but a whole num¬ 
ber would not contain half they have recently said 
in its behalf. 
Additions to Clubs are always in order and 
received at the same rates as original clubs, and, 
' if sufficient is added to a club of 6 ,10 or 15, within 
t one month, the rates will be reduced as noticed on 
, next page of this number.

into the seizure of the Harper’s Ferry Armory, 
and rejected the amendment, making a similar 
inquiry in regard to the seizure of the Armory in 
Missouri. Messrs. Mason, Davis, Collamer, Fitch 
and Doolittle are the Committee. This, and the 
election of Dr. Guri.ey as Ctiaplain, is about all the
