not a dollar paper — that it is never furnished to clubs, however 
large, at less than our published rates. When wo can afford 
such a journal as this for a less figure, the fact will be an¬ 
nounced. Meantime, those who write us that “other papers” 
can he had for a dollar, are advised that, if they prefer a 
re-print, or trashy sheet, to an original, useful and pure journal 
for the family, it is an easy matter to practice such econom r

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
From The Montreal Transcript. 
"One of the most useful books of the kind we have ever met 
with" 
From The Ohio Farmer. 
"The plan of the work is excellent, and the matter equal to 
the plan. I lad we the power, we would have it taught in every 
school m America.” 
From The Barnstable Patriot. 
"It may be safely accepted as a standard work upon all that 
it prole.-ses to teach. We recommend it to all our farmers as a 
most useful hand book." 
From The Gazette, Montreal. 
"The plan of the work is admirable, and the writing lias the 
merit of being both clear and concise.” 
AnouT Olur Terms. Ao.—W e endeavor to adhere strictly to 
our club rates, which require a certain number of subscribers to 
get the paper at a specified price — say ten to get it at. $1.50 per 
copy, twenty to gel it at $1.25, Ac. But, in answer to frequent 
inquiries, we would state that, in cases where from four to six 
copies are ordered at $1.50 each, with a reasonable prospect of 
filling up a club of ten, we will send them —and when the club 
is completed shall send extra copy, &c. We also send twelve to 
eighteen copies at the rate for twenty ($1.25 per copy.) where 
the person sending is laboring I'or and is Confident of obtaining 
a full club. This will accommodate those who do not wish to wait.

letters per day. and it is no easy task to read all carefully and 
give each proper attention; even the opening and glancing at 
the contents of each, (which the writer of this tries to do.) is 
somewhat laborious. The abort letters are always read, while 
the long epistles cannot at once receive the time required so 
we are constrained to attend to the busineas part and defer the 
rest. /iremiy and accuracy are the great essentials of a business 
letter, and no other matter should be given oa the same sheet

with a business letter, pray do not mix them on the same page,

TO OUR FRIENDS, 
Hitherto, we have nayevoffered any one a premium fur help¬ 
ing to extend the cire.ulation of The Tribune Wc have printed 
the cheapest newspaper, considering die outlay by which it is 
produced, that was ever Issued in any country, selling it for lit¬ 
tle more than the cost of the white paper; have employed no 
agents to canvass for subscribers, and have allowed uo compen¬ 
sation (beyond :l copy of our paper) to any of the thousands of 
generous friends who have annually taken care that the num¬ 
ber of copies of our several issues circulated in t.lieir respective 
neighborhoods should be at least maintained and if possible in¬ 
creased. We tiav.- been sparing even of verbal thanks to these 
friends, but have none the 1 realized the fullness of our obli¬ 
gation for lhe(r earnest, unselfish, painstaking; peisistontefi'orts. 
We propose for the present season only—in view of the hard¬ 
ness of the times, and tlm fact that we are enabled to buy white 
paper Roincwhat cheaper than we have hitherto done, or can 
hope to do after the close or the War—to make some small 
acknowledgment—not so much a recompense a.-, a alight testimo¬ 
nial — to those friend* who shall sec fit to exert themselves to 
obtain subscriptions (whether original or renewals) to our 
Weekly and Semi Weekly edition*. Wo do not know that wo 
Could offer anything of similar value more generally acceptable 
and useful than a Gold Fen of the best quality and finish. We 
propose, therefore, to forward to each person who, during the 
two mouth* ensuing, shall scud us subscriptions and payments 
for The Tribune, as follows:
