Nor a “Dollar Pamr./'-We reiterate what has often 
been proclaimed in former volumes, that tlie Rrhal Ns.w- 
TORKhtt is not a dollar paper that it ia never furnished to 
clubs, however large, at less than our published rates. 
When we ran afford such a journal as this for a less figure, 
the fact * ill he announced. Meantime, those who write ua 
that “other papers'* can bo had for a dollar,arc advised 
that, if they prefer a ro-print, or trashy sheet, to au 
original, useful and pure journal for the family, it is a very 
easy matter to practice sue A economy. 
Of-Goon Tkstimoxt.- A few miuutes after the abovo 
item ( " Not a Dollar Paper") was penned, a voluntary agent 
called at the office, and remarked that lie and a neighbor 
last week too* twelve tufiicripltont S»r the Rural in leu 
than ten minutes .'—la a small collection of people. While 
the names were being enrolled one of tlm subscribers snid 
that he. n Along since heard tlm Key. Dr.-remark that 
“ he could not conceive how Mr. Moobb could make so good 
and chaste a paper for it* subscription price.” Many peo¬ 
ple, who have regard to the quality of its contents, and 
actual cost of the paper, bave wondered in like manner.

If jroti are forming (or wish to form) a club for the Rural

ty Unitorm Ratks No Private Ttrmt— We begto 
state, for the benefit of all interested, that our published 
Term*are rigidly adhered to —that we do not intend to 
publish one rale and accept of another in any easo. It 
istherefora useless for people to send us less than our full 
prioa Tor a copy or club of Kpbalb— or lor any one to a*k 
private terms. Wo have no time to answer inquiries by 
letter, though we desire to be civil, and bonce give onr 
platform in this shape. Parsons who Intimate that th»y 
can get “other papers" cheaper are advised to do so if 
they think the Investment safe and protitable,— hut the 
Rural Nbcv-Yorkbr cannot bo had of us for less than 
regular rates, and no person is authorised to offer it at a 
lower prion than our published torms.
