Bk Brief. —In ■writing us on business, please l»e as brief as 
consistent At this season we receive from 100 to 200 or more 
letters per day. ami it is no easy busk to read all carefully and 
give each proper attention;—even tho opening and glancing at 
the contents of each, (which the writer of this tries to do,) is 
somewhat laborious. Tho short, letters are always read, while 
the long ejif.-tles cannot at once receive tho time required; so 
we are constrained to attend to the business part and defer the 
r( ^t. Hreritg and rv:cura/'V are the great essent ials of a business 
letter, and no other matter should he given on the same sheet 
or half sheet If you send an inquiry or article for publication 
with a business letter, pray do not mix U»in on tho same page, 
or even opposite pages,Junless so that we can separate without 
injury to either—tor one goes to clerk and the other to editor. 
A Goon Book Premium.— After examining the Manual of 
Agriculture, (tho new book advertised in this number,) we con¬ 
cluded it to be the best work on the subject (especially for 
Boys and Young MeD) which wa could oiler to those forming 
clubs, and purchased two hundred copies for distribution aa 
premiums. We w ish every Boy or Young Man who reads this 
paper could have, and would carefully peruse, the Manual; and 
to enable many to easily obtain it, we will send a copy, post¬ 
paid. to every person remitting $5 for a club of three sub¬ 
scribers, or $8 for a club of tivo. For $10 we will send six copies 
of the Rural, with a five copy’ of the paper, and also the above 
wont. Y,'.p will also send the Manual, and a free copy, to every 
pfTdbn (Competing tbr no other premium) who remits $15 for a 
club nf ten, $21 for a clnb of fifteen, or $25 for a club of twenty, 
whether the subscribers arooldor now, "Do You Hkar That!" 
l'&~ If any persons prefer "Bossing's Pictorial History of the 
D. S-, (priqc $1.) or a dollar package of choice imported Flower 
£oodri, we will send either, posLpuid, instead of the Manual. 
“Goar” os a Rural AoHKT.— The letters from Rural 
agents ure often so rich that »ve are constrained to quote from 
them, even at the risk of being accused of egotism, or having 
joined.the ‘"mutual admiration society." But this one is not 
exactly m praise of the Rural, though allowing great appre¬ 
ciation of it by the one who writes Friend \V l), Wualbn, 
of Wayne Co., Mich , who has already remitted for seventy 
subscribers for 18*12, isrcsponsiblo for the following:—“ I have 
already talked Rural bo much that ' have I your name down 
for the RURAL 1 has become a cant phrase in till* community, 
and t am looked upon as the special (not correspondent, but) 
advocate of its merits; and at. the rink Of violating your injunc¬ 
tion to be brief, I must relate the 1 beat joke of the season.' 
A few evenings ago the quiet of our village was suddenly 
broken by the cry of ‘firel 1 and the violent ringing of our old 
church lv/il. On rushing to tho spot, wo found that one of 
our heaviest mercantile establishments was sure to bfl a prey 
to the devouring element. Tho only alternative was to save 
as many of the goods, wares, and merchandize, as possible, 
and every person able to bear n hand fell to it, with the vigor 
hud excitement usual upon such occasions. Now, a waggish 
friend of mine has circulated tho report that at this very time 
yonr humble servant hailed a person who was staggering 
under a load of goods that he had risked his lifo to save, and 
after he bad baited, he was coolly asked if ho would not like 
bo subscribe for the RukalI But all men that engage in a good 
work afe sure to he persecuted; I presume ‘ Prof.’ Terra-Vul¬ 
ture Adi Agree with rnc in this. But 1 had almost forgotten 
to put ddwn my list."

The Rural aUpng tiik Soldiers.— During the pant fen- 
months we have boen favored with various pleasant letters 
from officers and s'oldiers in camp, relative to tho Ruhal — 
some ordering it ha indispensable, and others acknowledging 
its receipt—but none more gratifying than one lately received 
from a subscriber in Schuyler county, who orders the paper 
for his son, (in camp at Upton’a Hill, Va.,)and adds:—“A 
few weeks ago he wrote to me as follows—* One thing wo are 
quite destitute of in camp, that is, good, substantial » tailing. 
O if 1 cmdd, only see the Rural once morel’ I of course sent 
one of my numbers immediately, and ho wrote to his little 
brother at home, shortly after, as follows:— 1 Tell father I 
received the Rural New Yorker ho sent rue, and I don't 
know that I was ever more thankful for anything in my life 
than T am for this favor. Tell him that X read every scrap of 
it with eagerness, and that, if it breaks up his full numbers to 
send me an occasional Rural, l will keep them clean and 
send them back again.’ Thus you see how the Rural is 
appreciated in my family. I believe I was the first subscriber 
for it in this place. I have taken it from the first number, 
•and have all tho volumes bound up- to the present year. 
Though I never entered the list aa ,i regular agent, I trust I 
have been none the less efficient in obtaining subscribers for 
your excellent paper."

lamb l,y Merino bucks, obtained from the late flock of Matthias 
! I iitehinsoD, of Genoa, and of Newel Franklin, of Led yard, 
Gnvuga county, tie- wool of which is not surpassed for fineness

.SHEEP BREEDING hue been the favorite pursuit of the sub 
scriber for 25 years, and by giving his personal attention through 
the entile year to his flocks, careful selection of stork breedera, 
avoiding breeding in-and-in, few. if any, Sheep excel his in 
purity of blood, hardiness and round constitution. They have 
never been subjects of dlsea-Se of an epidemical or conCugious 
character. 
Tim necessities of our National Government, for a large reve¬ 
nue turlll tor many rears to come, will cause Wool Growing to 
be the most profitable hraneh of farming.
