Advertisements inserted in the Rural New-A orker 
at 15 cents a line, each insertion,—to be paid in advance — 
Brief advertisements preferred, and we do not wish to j 
give any one more than four successive insertions. Our 
space is limited, and we wish to accommodate and benefit 
as many applicants as possible,—at the same time interest¬ 
ing our readers by presenting something new, weekly. 
The circulation of this paper is several thousand 
greater than that of anj other published in this State, out 
of New York city,—and we believe it largely exceeds that 
of any other Agricultural or similar journal (monthly, 
semi-monthly or weekly,) in either America or Europe. 
BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
Hz story of Pyrrhos. By Jacob Abbott, new 
Uakpkr k Brothers. 18G4. 
Another of Abbott’s Histories is Lore pre¬ 
sented, and in the popular style with winch this : 
author invests all his writings for the young. 
At this late day, it would be impossible to sep¬ 
arate the true from the fictitious in ancient bi¬ 
ography, so Mr. Abbott only seeks to gather in 
a single volume the scattered details of each 
hero’s life, that his readers may understand the 
allusions scattered through all literature to 
these classic personages. Sold by E. Harrow

Tiif. Rutland (Vt.,) Herald states that forty- 
seven sheep and fourteen lambs, worth some 
$3Ut>, were killed near a tree in that town, on the 
oth tilt,, by a discharge of lightning, the direc¬ 
tion of which was evidently from the earth, as 
locks of wool were driven into the tree along 
which the fluid passed, and the fibres of the 
wood were brushed upward ; and also that the 
bodies of animals killed by lightning decay very 
rapidly, as there was only a heap of wool and of 
dry flesh less hones left of the sheep when found 
a few days after they were killed.

Soiiooi, Teachers Proscribed. —The newly- ] 
elected School Directors in the lower section of 
the city of Philadelphia, have removed some 15 
of the teachers in the public Schools, within the 
last few days, on (it is understood) sectarian 
grounds. All the discharged teachers belonged 
io the Roman Catholic Church. Much ieeling 
is being manifested there among the friends of 
ihe proscribed teachers, and the matter seems 
likely to greatly widen the already existing 
breach between the Protestants and Catholics iu 
the city- 
Arrkst of Counterfeiters in Canada.— un 
the night of August 1st, the High Constable of 
Sherbrooke arrested two gangs of counterfeiters 
in Canada, who carried on business about five 
miles distant from each other iu the woods. All 
their implements were taken, consisting of one 
printing press, twenty-six plates of paper money, 
one machine for stamping gold and silver, which 
weighed 800 lbs., twenty-four moulds for run¬ 
ning hard money* dies, ink, paper, engraver’s 
tools, and thousands of dollars in counterfeit 
money. This is probably the most important 
arrest of the kind ever made on this continent. 
The band was completely organized, and had 
their engravers, who could make all their plates, 
and their printers, and their signers of the bills 
—all of whom are now sately lodged in the 
Montreal jail. 
A letter was mailed from Philadelphia a few 
days since, to a firm in New 5 <>rk, inclosing a 
check on the Girard Bank for $600, payable to 
the order of the firm. Before reaching New 
York, however, the letter was stolen, it is sup¬ 
posed, from the Post Office, and the check ab¬ 
stracted therefrom, a forged endorsement w rit¬ 
ten upon the back, and the same presented at 
the counter of the Girard Bank, and paid.
