ROCHESTER, N. Y, DECEMBER 25, 1858. 
FINIS TO VOLUME IX. 
A FEW TIMELY REMARKS AND REMINDERS. 
This number closes the Ninth Volume of the 
Rural New-Yorker and our contracts with all 
whose subscriptions expire with the year. As the 
paper is published strictly upon the cash system— 
which experience has convinced us is the best for 
both subscriber and publisher—an early renewal is 
necessary to secure its uninterrupted continuance. 
That some of its subscribers will part company 
with the Rural is to be expected—and we bid all 
such a friendly farewell—but the numerous renew¬ 
als and large accessions of new subscribers we are 
daily receiving, assures us that most of its present 
friends will continue such, while thousands will 
join the ranks of its supporters. To all, whether 
old friends or comparative strangers, we extend 
a cordial welcome and place their names in our 
new and voluminous set of books in the belief 
that each will receive full “value received” in 
return for the requisite investment. 
Haviag reduced the club rates of the Rural, 
and changed our plan of procuring subscribers— 
by abolishing the large system of premiums and 
adopting the voluntary principle—we must rely 
naiuly^'iyrn the kind offices of ita friends and 
subscribers to maintain and increase the circula¬ 
tion of the paper in their respective localities. 
And we confidently ask each and all who believe 
this is right to aid in enlarging and widening the 
influence and usefulness of a Journal which is 
conscientiously devoted to the promotion of what 
are considered the best interests of the Productive 
Classes and the Country. Each of our present 
readers can render material assistance, either by 
acting independently or uniting with another 
i person in efforts to increase the Rural’s circula¬ 
tion. What say, kind reader? Will you Bee that 
your own neighborhood is canvassed?—that neigh¬ 
bors Smith, Jones, Johnson, Brown, and others 
who ought to take it, are invited to subscribe for 
the Rural? We trust our friends will, so far as 
consistent and convenient, do us and community 
the favor to place the paper before the people of 
their respective neighborhoods, school districts, 
and townships. Any and every effort in its sup¬ 
port will be gratefully appreciated. 
To Correspondents.— Thanks to the kindness 
of Correspondents we have been abundantly sup¬ 
plied with able and appropriate articles for the 
various departments of the Rural daring the 
entire year now closing. Indeed we have received 
an over-supply, insomuch that scores, if not hun¬ 
dreds, of excellent articles have necessarily been 
deferred from time to time, and must now go over 
the year and volume. But many of them will retain 
their savor and value, and read well if not pub¬ 
lished for months. Meantime we trust our tried 
friends—especially those who write on practical, 
useful subjects — will remember the Rural in 
future, and aid us in rendering the Tenth Volume 
“ Excelsior” in Interest and Value. 
No. 1 op Vol. X is mostly in type, and we hope 
to issue it a week in advance of date. We are not 
alone in expressing the opinion that it will exhibit 
decided “Progress and Improvement” in both 
style and contents. Among the Contents are — 
Illustrations and Description of first prize Plan for 
Farm House; an excellent 8tory entitled, “Alice 
and Adelaide, or The True and The False,” by 
Mrs. M. J. Holmes, the popular authoress; the first 
of a series of “Plain Talks to American Women, ” 
by Mra M. P. A. Crozier— together with many able 
and practical artie’es from other Contributors and 
Correspondents, editorial and miscellaneous arti¬ 
cles, illustrations, &o. 
The Title Page and Index occupy so much 
space, that we necessarily abridge several depart¬ 
ments this week, and omit others—yet they are so 
important to the numerous persons who preserve 
and bind tte Rural, that we need make no 
apology for giving what is indispensable to the 
completion ana perfection of the volume, as a 
valuable work for fature reference. Though it 
comprises only the practical and most important, 
or permanently useful departments, the Index will 
b3 found very complete—-while it shows that we 
have given a vast amount and variety of valuable 
reading daring the year. 
The Arabia, which left Liverpool Nov. 24th, 
arrived at Halifax on the evening of Dec. 16th. 
She reports strong westerly gales daring the entire 
passage. The most important news bought by this 
arrival, is the safety of the Indian Empire. She 
reached Broadhaven, County Mayo, on the 26th 
ult,, all well on board, but her fuel was exhausted, 
and a portion of her cargo and wood work con¬ 
sumed. She was also short of provisions. The 
ship lay to for a week within one or two day’s 
steaming of Galway duriug two furious storms.— 
Her passengers were landed in excellent health, 
expressing themselves highly satisfied with the 
ship, captain and crew. During the whole voyage 
they experienced heavy S. E. gales. The ship hav¬ 
ing only thirty hours’ coal remaining, and being 
only 340 miles from Galway, Captain Courtney, in 
consequence of the continuance of the fearful 
state of the weather, declared it advisable to lay to, 
which he did for seven days. 
During this time it was neccessary to consume 
a small portion of the cargo, consisting of cotton, 
staves, &c. The ship left Halifax on the night of 
the 31st,, having on board sixteen days’ fuel. The 
machinery worked well, and the ship proved to be 
a first rate sea boat, and well adapted for Atlantic 
navigation, having shipped only one sea during 
the passage. 
The Captain stated that the weather was unpre¬ 
cedented, and that many casualties must have 
occurred, as they fell in with great quantities of 
floating wreck. 
Montalembbrt, the French writer, whose trial 
and unjust confinement on the charge of sedition 
we have previously given in our foreign news, has 
been pardoned by the Emperor. The Moniteur of 
the 2d inst, announces that in consequence of the 
anniversary of the 2d of December, the Emperor 
relieves M. de Montalembert from the penalties of 
the sentence passed upon him. Montalembert re¬ 
fuses to accept pardon, and writes to the govern¬ 
ment paper, the Moniteur, the following:—“I have 
appealed against the sentence upon me. No power 
in France up to the present time, has had a right 
to remit a penalty not definite. I am one of those 
who still believe in the right, and I do not accept 
pardon. I beg you, and, if necessary, demand you 
to insert this.” 
All the English papers containing a report of 
this trial were excluded from France. The despot 
who misrules France and imprisons her wisest and 
best men, will meet just retribution before long. 
The Bombay mail of 9 th ult., had been telegraphed 
at Malta. The campaign commenced Oct. 18th. 
The rebels had been dislodged from many strong¬ 
holds. Seven engagements are reported, each 
resulting in victory on the British side and heavy 
losses to the enemy. Tanti Babee was a fugitive. 
His forces had been routed, with a loss of all their 
guns, and 600 killed. The Proclamation in which 
the British Crown assumes entire command over 
India and promises an amnesty on certain condi¬ 
tions, was read in India on the first of November, 
and is said to have given great satisfaction to all 
parties. 
How to Get Subscribers. 
The Best Way to obtain subscribers for the 
Rural is to show a number. Its most successful 
agents and active friends say this is the true course 
—that few object to subscribing after seeing the 
paper itself. With a single specimen many persons 
have procured handsome lists. Much less effort is 
required than many suppose — for, in this case as 
in some others, seeing and examining is believing and 
convincing. Indeed, there is scarcely a town to 
which we send this Supplement, wherein from 10 to 
30 subsciibers could not readily be obtained by 
adopting the plan suggested, and using a little ex¬ 
ertion. Now, as the present is the best season to try 
this plan, how many will act upon the suggestion— 
thereby augmenting the circulation and usefulness 
of the Rural and benefiting their neighbors and 
community? If any of our friends use up or lose 
their numbers in the good work we will cheerfully 
furnish others to make their files complete. 
— The greatly reduced Club Rates will render 
it comparatively easy to obtain a handsome list in 
almost any locality. Please try and see, Reader. 
0ur New Volume — The Prospect. — The re¬ 
daction in club rates, ignoring of large premiums, 
and proposed decided improvements in onr New 
Volume— thus placing the Rural within the 
means and reach of all, and giving all who aid in 
its circulation liberal gratuities in the shape of 
extra copies, &c.— creates the right spirit and ac¬ 
tion among its friends thoughout the whole coun¬ 
try. Never were the indications more flattering, 
the encouragement so hearty and substantial, in 
behalf of the paper. The prospect is such for a 
large increase of subscribers that we have resolved 
to add greatly to our present edition — at least 
20,000 copies—on commencing the Ninth Volume, 
next week. This will supply the demand probably, 
and enable us to furnish all who subscribe early, 
or perhaps within several weeks, with the complete 
volume from No. 1. Make up and forward your 
lists, good friends, and the more and larger the 
better! The present is the Best Time. 
Back Numbers, Volumes, &c. —Of late we have 
received many orders and inquiries for complete 
sets of the Rural, and take this occasion to state 
that we cannot furnish the first six volumes. We 
can furnish bound copies of vols. 7 and 8 (for 1856 
and 1857)—price $3 each. Copies of the present, 
volume, handsomely bound, will be ready for deliv¬ 
ery as premiums in a few days, and also for sale at 
above price. Back numbers of this volume (except 
Nos. 40,41,42,) will be supplied to those wishing to 
complete their files for binding, if applied for early. 
Grain Returning to the Interior. —The Chi¬ 
cago Com. Express says there is no disguising the 
fact that some portions of Illinois, as well as of 
Iowa, which have hitherto been blessed with a 
surplus of grain for export, will be supplied by 
import from now until the next harvest Already 
the wheat shipped from Chicago over the Burling¬ 
ton and Quincy Railroad, to supply the consump¬ 
tive demand in Southern and Southwestern Iowa, 
has reached an amount by no means inconsid¬ 
erable.
