PUBLISHER’S SPECIAL NOTICES. 
— Back Numbers of this volume can still be supplied 
to now subscribers — and will be for some weeks to come, 
or until we otherwise announce. It is not, therefore, too 
late to form new clubs, or make additions to present ones, 
t3?~ Opr Terms, Clcb Kates, Ac—Many people misap¬ 
prehend tho terms of the Rural. For their information 
we would state that we do not furnish the paper at club 
rates, except to persons who actually form clubs. We 
cannot send a single copy to any person at the club rate 
because he was once a member of a club, or for tho reason 
that there may he a club iu his vicinity; hut all club sub¬ 
scriptions must be sent hy regular club agents. This rule 
is imperative -for, without it, we should be justly chargea¬ 
ble with violating our terms, aud beside it would be mani¬ 
festly unfair to exact $2 lor a single copy in one instance, 
and furnish it in another at $1,00 or $1,25. Some send us 
the club price, with request to add to club of persons fifty 
to five hundred miles distant from them! Of course we 
cannot comply with these or any requests Inconsistent 
with our terms, and hence our rule in such cases is to send 
so long as the money pays at the rate of $2 a year. 
t3T A Practical Joke, (which we hope none will re¬ 
peat,) is perpetrated by a Western mau! He was a sub¬ 
scribe- for the Rural last year, finds his wife and self 
“can. keep house without it,” and hence sends $1,25 with a 
view a! ■presenting this volume to his “better half" uuder 
our oiler to send at that price when given as a present!— 
Now we would hint to onr friend, that his point is ml well 
taken — that our oiler was, and is, that any subscriber can 
send the Ritual to friends, as a present, at $1,25 per copy-— 
Hence, he must first, become a subscriber (by paving $2,1 
before he is entitled to the privilege claimed ! The Juko
