A little effort will secure n good club In almost any 
locality, and this is the best reason to make the e ffort 
Reader, will you please see that the matter is attended 
to in your neighborhood T 
Our Invariable Terms (except to Clergymen, 
Teachers, &c,) arc n* follows:-Single copy, one 
year $8; five copies, one year for $14; seven for $19; 
ten for $25, and any additional number at same rate, 
only $2.50 per copy. All our readers will please note 
there rates, ami govern themselves accordingly. The 
Rujiao is held to be worth nil we ask for it at full 
single copy price, and we therefore aim to adhere 
atrlctly to published terms: hence if agent* or others 
offer the paper at less than $ 2.50 per copy it is with¬ 
out our authority, and at their risk, for they must 
comply with our rules in remitting for clubs. Of 
coureo we cannot prevent club agents from taking 
less than our rules, but wish it understood that any 
departure from the terms above specified is contrary 
to onr rules. _ 
Form Clubs JVoic.—Pon’l wait for the close of the 
year and volume, but “pitch right in’’ and see how 
large a club you can raise before New Year’s Day. ir 
the trashy papers and cheap re-prints get the start of 
the Bubal you will be sorry, and so will —the I’uh- 
liBber I But they won’t if you are as kind and active 
as have been out friend* in former years. 
Remit Early! — Agents will please send in their 
lists, or parts of them, as boob as convenient, in order 
that we may get names in type for mailing machine as 
fast ae possible. Those forming clubs of ten or more, 
can send 4, 6 or 8 names at the club rate for 10, and 
after that fill out liste and secure extra copies, pre¬ 
miums, &c.^ Please report “progress,” also, friends. 
Direct to Rochester, R. V. — Persons having 
occasion to address the Rujial Nkw-Yorkkb will 
please direct to Rochester, R. F., and not as many do, 
to New York, Albany, Buffalo, Ac. Money letters in¬ 
tended for ns arc almost daily mailed io the above 
places, and are liable to be delayed or lost. 
Remit by Draft .—Whenever drafts can be ob¬ 
tained Club Agents are requested to remit them in 
preference to Currency or P. O. Money Orders. As 
we pay cost of exchange, and allow them to be sent at 
our risk, it is the safest and cheapest to remit by draft. 
Ro Clubbiny udih the Hay amities.— The prices 
of the Magazines arc so high that we cannot advan¬ 
tageously club the Rubal with them as formerly. To 
accommodate our friends, however, we will ftirnlsh 
any Magazine at the publisher’s price. 
Encouraging, —The well-lined loiters we are 
receiving now a-days indicate that a good many people 
think the Rubal Nkw-Yohkeb is not extravagant in 
asking $3 for ilfiy-two visits—considering present pri¬ 
ces of pork, potatoes, butter, etc. 
Ro TraveUny Ayents are employed by us, and 
we give no certificates of agency. Any person so 
disposed can act as Local Club Agent, on his or her 
own authority, and compete for premiums, etc.

Tbb Rural Kbw-Youbkb.— A prospectus for the 
eighteenth volume of Mooan’s Rural Nkw-Yobkbb 
lias been Issued. Few people, we presume, need to he 
Sold that the Rural Is the most successful Agricultural 
and Family Paper published lu the United States. It has 
alwayB been conducted with marked ability,and the pro¬ 
prietor and editor, Ron. D. D. T. Mookb, promises that 
Hie new volume shall excel all of Its predecessors. This 
is saying much, but we are prepared to believe that Mr. 
Moorb will fulfill hit pledge In bringing the paper to 
the point of excellence which it has already attained bo 
has met and overcome many apparently unsurmoonta- 
ble obstacles, and the public have learned to expect 
much from his energy and tact, lie proposes to increase 
the loyal States, additional rcasous for insisting 
on the. adoption of the pending Constitutional 
Amendment before it will consider the pro¬ 
priety of giving them Congressional repre¬ 
sentation.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue, E. A. 
Rollins, in his late Report, recommends that 
the $600 exemption from the tax on incomes 
be increased. The law becomes extinct in 1870. 
There is the best, authority for saying that the 
President has positively determined not to in¬ 
terfere in the case of Jeff. Davis by ordering his 
release on parole, but that he will remain where 
he is until arrangements can be made for his 
trial some time during the ensuing spring.

From Mexico. 
Dates from Tampico to the 2d inst. repre¬ 
sent Northern Mexico in a deplorable condition. 
No legitimate business is being done, and the 
greatest uncertainty for the future prevails as 
regards the ability of the Juarez party to hold 
Tampico. They have made burdensome forced 
loans on the people. The Imperialists have 
done likewise at 8an Louis Potosi; $35,000 
were recently exacted by Mejia. 
Juarez was last reported ut Chihuahua The 
French commander at Acapulco attempted to

forces of Maximilian. Four days later the city

command of Gen. Auza, No disturbances of 
any kind have occurred, and peace and trade 
have been restored. The French, while on their 
retreat to the city of Mexico, were very much 
harra6sed by the Liberals. At a place 24 miles 
from Durango, the French, in a conflict, lost 
200 men and three pieces of artillery. 
Geu. Sherman and Minister Campbell, it is

Moore’b Rural New-Yorkur.— Onr follow-citizen, 
Ex-Mayor Moorr, Is out With his annual prospectus of 
the Rural New-Yorukr. Vol. Eighteen will open with 
the year 1807. The paper will be printed on no w copper¬ 
faced type, uew cuts, and wILI be as fresh aud blooming 
as a young country timid In a calico dress. The Ru sal 
has been so long and so irmly established us a favorite 
with the public that It needs no pufling. Everybody far 
and wide t* acquainted with the paper, and lodging by 
the immense edlllouB printed, everybody takes a copy. 
Tbo success ol Mr. Moorr in this enterprise 1& wholly 
without precedent. He placed the Rural years ago so 
far ahead of oil competitors In his department of litera¬ 
ture that they have long since given up the chase. As 
an agricultural, literary and family newspaper, the 
Rural Nkw-Yorkir lias never had its equal and never | 
found a competitor worthy ol the name. It circulates 
all over the country, and wherever it goes it makes new | 
friends. Its matter is carefully prepared by a corps 
of able writers under the direction of Mr. Moore, and 
every reader finds more or less to please and instruct. 
The farmer.the wool grower, the horticulturist, find the 
subjects to which they are devoted ably treated, white 
all tbe readers find architecture, domestic economy, 
art, science, education, commerce aud trade and gen¬ 
eral news admirably served up each week. The old and i 
the yonng, the man and the woman, greets the Rural 
from week to week a* It comes as a true and genial 
friend. Il Is a cheap paper and oflers the best chance 
for Investment that a man can make in these times.

(after deducting all expenses,) $2,039,014. The 
double track is complete throughout the main 
line, except from Rochester to Churchville, 
fourteen aud a half miles. 
Indian Affairs. 
A kecent letter from Fort Smith to St. Louis 
says, “from this point down to the Platte River 
the road is a grave-yard. About 150 men have 
been killed as far as known. We have had no 
| intelligence from Fort Kearney for mauy days, 
aud fear that communication is cut off. The 
Crow Indians report about 1,500 lodges of hostile 
Indians moviDg toward this point for the pur¬ 
pose of capturing it.” 
A telegram from Portland, Oregon, of Dec. 10, 
says the Indians attacked a party of sixty-eight 
whites in September last, near the head watere 
I of the Big Bow River, killing twelve and badly 
wounding several others. Nine Indians were 
killed, and a number wounded and carried away. 
Indian depredations and murders, (as we learn 
from a San Francisco dispatch of Dec. 10,) con¬ 
tinues in Idaho. The Government has assigned 
troops for the protection of the mail route be- 
1 tween Camp Winfield Scott and Ruby City. A 
small detachment accompanies each stage. 
Acting Governor Amy of Arizona, has issued 
lence among the petroleum was so great as to 
6end up a dense volume of 6moke which suffo¬ 
cated the following persons: — 3d floor, Mr. and 
Mtb. Daniel Phelan and three children; 4th floor, 
Mrs. Mary Skilling and child; 5th floor, Mrs. £. 
Gilpin and daughter Ida, 11 years old. 
The Fenians. —At a Fenian meeting in New 
York last week, Gen. Spear stated that at the 
headquarters there were 18,000 breech-loading 
rifles, and 2,000,000 rounds of ball cartridges; 
uniforms sufficient for a large army were 
being rapidly put in store. The eastern 
papers inform us that certainly one Fenian 
armed vessel has lately put to sea to wage war 
against British commerce. Other vessels, it is 
thought, will soon follow in the wake. There is 
great activity among the Fenians in Boston, but 
little is known to outsiders. 
An Ieon - Clad Burned. — The iron - plated 
frigate New Ironsides, lying at League Island, 
near Philadelphia, was totally destroyed by fire 
on the morning of the I6th inst. The vessel 
was built at Philadelphia in 1863, and cost over 
$1,000,000. She did good service during the 
rebellion, receiving many hard knocks, but sus¬ 
tained no material injury. Near Fort Sumter 
the rebels managed to explode a torpedo under 
her, but fate raserved the noble vessel for the 
torch (as is supposed) of the incendiary. 
The Canadian Pbisonebs.—A dispatch from 
Quebec the 12th inst., 6ays “the Provincial au¬ 
thorities have relinquished all responsibility for 
the fate of the condemned FeuianB, by turning 
them over to the consideration of the Home 
Government. How that Government will act 
with reference to their fate will depend no 
Liverpool, Dec. 14. — Tbe steamship Indus 
which went ashore on the Irish coast, near Wex¬ 
ford, is a total wreck. 
London, Dec. 14.—Intelligence from Japan 
has been received that the civil war is suspended. 
Barnsley, Dec. 15.—Three more terrific ex¬ 
plosions occurred In the mine this morning; the 
engines are flooding the pit. 
Paris, Dec. 15. — In the case of the United 
8tates before tbe French court, (the claim was 
a large sum for iron-ciads made for the rebels,) 
the United States were ordered to pay into court 
as security for the costs, iu case the 6uit went 
against them, the sum of one hundred and filly 
millions of francs. The U. 8. Consul remarked 
that while legal proceedings had been instituted 
in France in relation to the claim, there was 
likely to bo something more serious than mere 
diplomacy in the case of' England, where the 
claims of the American Government amounted 
to over live hundred millions. 
London, Dec. 17.—A dispatch from Berlin says 
the Pope of Rome has been officially invited to 
visit the United States. 
Coughs. — The administration of medicinal 
preparations in the form of a losengs is, of all 
modes, the moBt eligible and convenient, more 
especially as regards a Cough Remedy. Brown's 
Bronchial Troches, or Cough Lozenges, allay 
irritation which induces coughing, giving in¬ 
stant relief in Bronchitis, Hoarseness, Influenza, 
and Consumptive and Asthmatic complaints. 
As will he seen by an advertisement in another 
column, Henry Ward Beecher is engaged in 
writing a story for the New York Ledger. The 
circulation of the Ledger is claimed to be larger 
by one hundred thousand copies than that of 
any weekly or daily paper in the country.

Rural New-Yorker Device, 1 
R'xuikmtkh, Dec. 18, 1886. j 
There is no material change In ttie stale, ol tbe money 
market since last week,either east or we6t, and probably 
financial matters will remain during: tbe month much as 
they are at present. Business paper, unless gilt-edged, 
mores slowly, and Is taken with great caution. Buyers 
wish to see how traders pass the first of January. The 
movement In Congress to order weekly sales ol the gold 
accumulations In the New York Sub-Treasury excites 
considerable discussion In financial circles, an< has lor 
some days somewhat disturbed the gold market. The 
manner of the sate, whether the amount shall be limited 
or not, is considerably discussed. There is little doubt 
but what the sales will he ordered. Gold sold yesterday 
at 187)4. The amount of specie and paper money In the 
New York Bub-Treasury on Saturday wae $107,790,874. 
The bullion in the Hank of England has largely in¬ 
creased in the last few months, and Hie English money 
market is quiet and very easy. 
Tbe Annual Report of the New York Central Railroad 
for the year ending Bept. 30, I860, hue been published. 
TheReportia satisfactory, we believe, to stockholders. 
The renewal of iron rails during the year is equal to 205 
miles of single track. The decrease In the earnings of 
the Southern Michigan Railroad for the first week in 
December, as compared with 1866, is $6,981. Decrease in 
Michigan Central, same time, $9,074. The decrease in the 
earnings oi the Erie Railway and Buffalo division, for 
the month ol November, as compared with Nov. 1805, is 
$220,765. This, however, does not Include the earnings 
of the Canandaigua branch. 
The Western Union Telegraph Co. pay a 2 per cent, 
dividend lrotn the six months earnings ending Dec. 31,— 
payable Jan. 2ist. 
Wool,— There are no transactions at the west reported. 
Prices are nominal. At the east there la Improved In¬ 
quiry. particularly for flue fleeces suitable for manu¬ 
facturing Into thin goods, and though prices are not 
gTeatly changed, they are stronger. The New York 
Journal of Commerce notices sales of 136,000 lbs. at 35® 
«0c. for unwashed to fine, Including State, Western and 
Ohio. 
Wheat and Floub.—A t the close of last week the 
market was more active at New York and at Chicago, 
and prices slightly advanced. The amount of wheat 
received at Milwaukee from Jan. 1866 to Dec. 12. was 
12,091,992 bushels. Flour received same time, 442,978 
bbls. Shipments oi wheat 6ame time, 11,575,820 bush. 
Shipment of flour, 694,805 bbls. 
Boos.—The market during the past week was more 
active than heretofore. Prices rallied on Tuesday and 
few sales were made as low as tbe prices offered by ship¬ 
pers on Monday. The price yesterday was $8® $9. There 
is Improv ed feeling in the market at the west, and prices 
have tended upward for a few days. Many are of the 
opinion that the bottom has been touched. Buyers are 
not calculating on a deficiency in supply ol hogs, for the 
crop is reported large In all sections of the west. The 
last Detroit Poet says: 
The sales oi dressed hogs to-day include 12, averaging 
310, at $7.60 ; 46 at $7®7.50 ; 40, averaging 230, at $7@7.50; 
and 160 yesterday, averaging 280. at $7 23. Also 40 to 
butchers, at $7®7.23@7.50, inside figme for those aver¬ 
aging about 100. Mess poik Is mostly held at $20. A fair 
quotation would be about $19, with upward tendency. 
The Chicago Tribune of Friday notes tbe sale of 5.751 
bead, average live weight about 200 lbs., at $5.40@6.50, 
an advance of 10 to 15c. on Ibe rates of the day previous. 
Dressed hogs sold at $7 50®7.75. 
Beer Is firmer. The last Chicago sales of t> ee * cattle 
reported ranged from $S.T5 to $6225 for inferior to prime
