Tup. Rural is M.ulkp Promptlt to all new snbecribers, every 
order being attended to on the. day of Its receipt. But, while 
receiving from 1,600 to 2,000 names per day, as at prevent, we 
must necessarily mail several paekngos to each of many poBt 
oflices—for, while, or juat after, mailing the regular paekages, 
wo frequently receive additions at U 10 same offieea, and these 
are of course sent by themselves. We hare had additions to 
some lists every day for a week pa.yt, and of course sent a* many 
different packagns. This will explain (what some do not seem 
to understand) why wo can not. send all copies for each post- 
office together n thing which w« shall do as soon a* possible. 
At’present, however, we do the best wo can- mailing what 
portion of our list it has been possible to put in typo, hy 
marhloery, amt the remainder (from entry books and letters) 
by the old process. 
Another thing, We are endeavoring to arrange 00 r mailing 
routes *0 that all papers will reach their destination as directly 
and speedily as possible, and will thank Post-MastcrR or others 
to inform us of uny delay, or omission* to send hy the most 
direct routes. By mailing earlier and faster than formerly, nnd 
feuding by the moat direct routes, we hope most sutwerlbors will 
receive each number of the Rural on or before its date. 
A Good Book Prrmiuv.—A fter examining the Manual of

cluded it to be the best work on the Biibjpct (especially for 
Boys and Young Men) which we could offer to those forming 
clubs, and purchased two hundred copies for distribution tin 
premiums We wish every Boy or Young- Man who reads this 
paper could have, and would carefully poriiso, the Manual; aud 
to enable many to easily obtain it, we will send a copy, post¬ 
paid, to every lu-rson re milting $6 for a club of three sub¬

consistent. At this season we receive from 200 to 300 or more 
letter* per day, and It is no easy task to road all carefully and 
give each proper attention;—even the opening and glancing at 
the couteuts of eucli, (which the writer of this tries to do,) is 
somewhat laborious. The short letters are always read, while 
the long epistles cannot- at once receive the time required; so 
we axe constrained to attend to the business part aud defer the 
rest. Rrevitu and accuracy are the great essentials of a biisinen* 
letter, and no other matter should be given on the same sheet 
or half sheet If yon uehil an inquiry or article for publication 
with a business letter, pray do not mix them on the same page, 
or even opposite pagcs,;unless so that we can separata without 
injury to either— for one goes to clerk and the other to editor.

How to Aid tub Rural.— An esteemed correspondent and 
voluntary agent of the Rural, in remitting for 4 copies to be 
added to his club, thus writes from Erie county“ Pardon 
my ' dribbles,’ as I am determined to stick to the cash system. 
Aud you don't get all the result of my labors t’roiu my trims 
missions, for 1 have talked up the Rpaal In many public 
addresses over this and .adjoining counties, as the most reliable 
means of getting all important I Fur Mews, condensed must 
conveniently for the patriots of the country —and have 
advised the people to form clubs. Will continue to do so.” 
We tCre indebted to many others, also, for kindly commending 
tlie Rural, both publicly and privately — for saying words in 
it* ts-holf whenever opportunity offered — and enlisting Pi*st 
Mfistci-s and other influential person* in its support. New 
agent-friends (requently -rate who introduced tiic paper to 
their notice, or requested them to act in its behalf, so that we 
are often advised of the successful recruiting of those who 
never addressed us a word on the subject Many who are 
unable to attend to the matter, induce Post Masters and their 
assistants. Merchants, or others, to form clubs, and then direct 
their friends to die persons thus acting as agents, in this way 
our circulation lias been Largely increased the present year in 
many localities, and we gratefully acknowledge our indebted¬ 
ness to all, (whether known or unknown to us.) who have so 
generously aided the Rural. And will uot others aid in like 
manner? There are tl^Hlsands of localities within our wide 
parish wherein from 6 to 60 new *uhsvribers could be obtained 
would some friend take the matter in hand In each place, 
making kuown the merits and objects of the paper BV can¬ 
not do this, and must perfoTcc depend mainly upon the volun¬ 
tary efforts of readers who can — upon those who know and 
like tlie Rural, and arc disposed to extend its benefits.
