MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YO RKER: AM AGRICULTURAL AMD FAMILY MLA SPARER. 
ROCHESTER, JANUARY 15. 18.',2. 
SPECIAL NOTICES. 
Agents.— All subscribers are requested to act *s agents, 
by obtaining ami forwarding subscriptions—especially in 
towns where the P. M., or some other inlluenliai person, 
does not give tiic matter attention. 
23?” Jt ts not too late to form clubs to commence with 
the year and volume. We shall print a large extra edition 
for a few weeks, in order to supply new subsribers from 
commencement, — hut the safest way is to send early. 
23?” Kcmcmber our Terms arc in advance, and that 
we do not send the Rural after the expiration of the time 
paid for. Also, that wc adhere strictly to published terms, 
and require remittances accordingly. 
23 *” Non-subscribers who receive this No. of the Rural 
are requested to give it an examination,—and will greatly 
oblige us if they can consistently aid in extending its cir¬

We know of no better indication—no more sub¬ 
stantial evidence of “ Progress and Improvement ” 
Traveling A gents.—Caution. 
Wf. would again caution people to beware of 
pretended traveling agents for the Rural and oth¬ 
er papers. Never pay subscription money to a 
stranger until you see his authority—and look- 
sharp, even then. Last winter a person represent ¬ 
ing himself as agent for this paper, traveled thro’ 
Canada West, and collected a large amount of 
money. Of course he was a swindler, and never | 
remitted us a farthing ; but, though we were ig- | 
norant of his operations and entirely innocent, we 
subsequently had the pleasure of receiving various 
letters, accusing us of dishonesty, trickery, <fcc. 
Quite recently we have received several letters 
from Penn Yan, Rath, <fcc., stating that a person 
calling himself N. B. Clarke had collected money 
on subscription to the Rural, and promised to 
send on the paper immediately. No such person 
has a certificate of agency from us, and we are not 
responsible for the acts of self-constituted agents. 
We regret that our correspondents have been de¬ 
ceived, but trust they will not heap any further 
curses upon our devoted head. Mr. Clarke's case 
is receiving attention. 
We repeat the caution with which wc com¬ 
menced. Trust no stranger until you are satisfied 
that he is an authorized agent. We have but few 
traveling agents, and never give a certificate with-
