The Rural New-Yorker. —To say anything 
in commendation of this excellent agricultural 
and family paper in this section seems suyier- 
flnous. The large packages which weekly come 
to every post-office in this comity show that 
its merits are known, and furnish commenda¬ 
tion heartier than any words of ours. Still our 
liking for the paper (and for its genial publisher 
too) will not allow us to give the advertisement 
without a good word editorial. We make the 
word a short one, just enough to say that the 
Rural is the. best paper of its class of which we 
have any knowledge. And further—since cheap¬ 
ness is a test with many—it is thf. cheapest. Its 
cost is $3 a year—?2.o0 in clubs. Its leading 
rival is a monthly costing $1.50 a year. Take 
out the many pages of advertising which swell 
the bulk of the monthly, and it will be found 
that the Rural contains about the same amount 
of matter weekly which that gives monthly. 
And the matter in the Rural is all valuable. 
Its editors are not only practical men but able 
writers, and its agricultural correspondents have 
a pithiness that we have often wondered at. If 
we were a farmer wc should as soon think of 
doing without a plow as without the Rural. 
—Orleans B/publican. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker.—F armers arc 
requested to carefully read over the advertise¬ 
ment of Moore’s Rural New-Yorker in 
another column. We can most conscientiously 
commend this excelieut periodical as a wally first- 
class agricultural, wool growers’, graziers’ and 
gardeners’ paper. In all of these departments 
and others allied to them, there is in the Rural 
New’-Yorkek a ncisnutic thoroughness allied to 
plain practical utility, which entitles it to the 
Highest praise. It is also an admirable family 
newspaper, toutaiuiug much interesting reading 
of a varied nature, aud truly artistic engravings. 
Price only three dollars a year—the literary mat¬ 
ter in it alone being well worth more, and the 
agricultural reading three time& as much.— For¬ 
ney's Press, Philadelphia. 
Moore’s Rural New - YoupR. — We have 
heretofore omitted to notice this most excellent 
journal, which wc regard as one of the most 
valuable of all our exchanges. Our own col¬ 
umns have often been eunebed by gleanings 
from its rich and interesting pages. As a family 
paper it is not surpassed by any that we have 
ever seen. It differs from ra»st publications of 
its kind in being eminently practical in all its 
hints and suggestions on all the various subjects 
on which it treats. It U devoted to Agricul¬ 
ture, Horticulture, Rural Life, LiteraUire.j Sci¬ 
ence, Arts, News and Domestic Economy in all 
lbeir various ramifications. Politics it cut)rely 
Ignores beyond a brief synopsis ot the uews ol 
the duv, while its moral tone is excellent Mr. 
Moobk. the proprietor and principal editor, 
known to ua personally aa a high-toned and 
agreeable gentleman, while the Department ot 
Sheep Husbandry is under the editorial control 
of Hon. Henry S. Randall, LL. D., author ol 
the Life of Jefferson, Hon. T. C. Pktebb being 
the Southern Corresponding Editor. It is an 
eight page paper, containing forty columns ot 
reading matter, and is published at the low rate 
of $3 per year .—Old North Stats, Salisbury, A. C. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker has been an 
unparalleled success. Every succeeding year 
since its establishment has made some new 
feature, some decided and appreciated itnprov e- 
ment in its form aad mailer, placing it tar ahead 
of all rivals as an attractive, instructive and en- 
tertalulng journal of the farmer, the horticultur¬ 
ist, the stock breeder and the gardener. Bro. 
Moore is emphatically a proynssii* journalist, 
disbursing Liberally of his princely income to 
increase the usefulness of hia paper. Hie resul t 
is increase of patronage from year to year, ti l 
the Rural has become standard authority with 
the enlightened agriculturist .—Geneva Gazette. 
Moore’s Rural New t - Yorker. —This old and 
model Agricultural aud Family Taper is large, 
beautiiuily printed, aud ably edited in all its 
departments. As an Agricultural, Literary aud 
Family Newspaper, Moore’s Rural stands em¬ 
phatically at the Read of the list. It has no 
superior in America ,—Monroe (Mich.) Com. 
There is no mistake about it, Moore s Rural 
New-Yorker is, taking it as a whole, the best 
family paper published in America. W by r 
Because it embraces every department to be 
found in any other Agricultural paper, with the 
addition of numerous others, and is served to 
its readers every week, instead of once a month. 
Its eminence, popularity and boundless circula¬ 
tion is a convincing proof of its intrinsic value. 
—DansviUe Express. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker. —If the strong 
and voluntary commendation of this popular 
journal by prominent papers all over the coun¬ 
try is evidence of merit, then It is by far the 
most meritorious periodical of its class in 
America. Of late, especially, its praise seems 
to emanate from a thousand papers between 
Canada and the Gulf, and the Atlantic and 
Pacific. And it is all deserved, for the Rural 
has no equal in its sphere, being superior in 
ability and variety of contents, while, as we 
have before said, the dress, papeiq engravings, 
printing, itc., are superb, indeed, the Rural 
New-Yorker is an honor to Rochester and 
Western New York, and has done and U doing 
much to make them favorably known in distant 
parts of our own land as well as abroad—lor its 
circulation iu the West, South, New England, 
Cnuadn, &e., is large and rapidly increasing. 
Although its nineteenth year and volume does 
not commence until January, the Rural is thus 
early receiving hundreds of letters and sub¬ 
scriptions daily, giving assurance of a large 
accession to its already immense circulation 
during the ensuing winter.— lloch. Daily Union. 
MooreT s Rural New-Yorker Is, in our hon¬ 
est opinion, tbu best weekly of its class in the 
United States, and, consequently, the best in the 
world. 1t, is one of the choicest of family papers, 
beside containing more and better agricultural 
matter than can be found in any other journal. 
To persous in town or country it is invaluable, 
and we earnestly recommend it to all those who 
eoutemplute sending abroad for a family aud 
agricultural journal, for, indeed, it has no com¬ 
petitor.— Canton (Ohio) Depository. 
The contributions to the columns of the 
Rural are from the pens of the most gifted of 
America, and are of a very high literary charac¬ 
ter. It is ably edited, protuseiy illustrated, and 
neatly printed. It is practical, scientific aud 
useful, moral iu tone, pure iu sentiment aud 
highly' en ter tabling.— Tran ton ( C. IF.) Courier. 
“ The Best is the Cheapest,” says the pros¬ 
pectus of the Rural New-Yorker, in our pres¬ 
ent number, and the remark is true as applied to 
that excellent and deservedly popular weekly. 
It is rich in contents, beautifully illustrated, and 
complete in all respects.— Houston (Texas) Tel. 
Moore's Rural New-Yorker.— The reader 
i6 referred to the Prospectus of this spicy, wide¬ 
awake, enterprising weekly, published in an¬ 
other column. For three or four years the 
Rural has been a great favorite with us; and 
although we are frequently too busy to even 
glauee at some of our valuable exchanges, wo 
always manage to peruse the well-freighted col¬ 
umns of the universally admired Rural. Wc 
do not think it can be excelled in merits as an 
Agricultural, Horticultural or Family Paper. 
AU its numerous departments are edited with 
rare ability. Its Editor-itt-Chief, D. D. T, 
Moore, Ex-Mayor of Rochester, may truly feel 
proud of his orgau, which Is National iu aim 
und circulation, and which has frequently been 
landed by the Press in every section of the 
Union. Great preparations are being made to 
render the new volume more attractive thau its 
worthy predecessors.— York Pennsylvanian. 
The Rural New-Yorker is a cheap and 
most excellent paper, and well deserves the high 
popularity it enjoys. It gives every week almost 
as much good reading as some Of the monthlies 
present in their monthly editions. The Rural 
is therefore much the cheapest paper. It is em¬ 
phatically the People’s paper, iu* everybody seems 
determined to have it. tis editor and proprie¬ 
tor is one of the best fellows in the world, and 
one of the saddest lacks in our editorial gather¬ 
ing last summer was his absence. Long may he 
aud his valuable paper thrive like a green bay 
tree .—Penn Yan Chronicle. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker.— Those of 
onr readers in want ol a first-class Agricultural, 
Literary and Family Newspaper are referred to 
the prospectus of thiB famous Weekly, which is 
soon to enter upon its Nineteenth Year and Vol¬ 
ume. The success of the Rural has been nne- 
qualed by any similar journal, and it is worthy 
ot still greater prosperity aud circulation. — St. 
Joseph (2nd.) Peyistcr. 
Can You Do Without It?—W ithout what? 
Moore's Rural New-Yorker. We should say 
certainly not-. It contains something interesting 
for every one that cun read; but to the farmer 
it is invaluable. It is without doubt the best 
agricultural paper in the country.— Pacine( TFw.) 
Advocate. 
Tue Rural New’-Yorker. —This is one of 
the handsomest, best, most readable, entertain¬ 
ing and useful agricultural, horticultural and 
literary papers published in the United 8tatea. 
It is just what every farmer wants and should 
have. It is what every wide-awake family 
should read aud profit by. Edited by a large 
corps of the ablest and most distinguished agri¬ 
cultural writers in the country, and receiving 
the regular contributions of many literary celeb¬ 
rities, the Rural New -Yorker has established 
a reputation second to none, while its circula¬ 
tion is not only immense, but exteuds through 
every State in the Union. The Rural New- 
Yorker is no stranger to many of our readere. 
Clubs of it come to nearly every Post-office in 
the county, and zealous friends are engaged in 
increasing’ its circulation. We wish them suc¬ 
cess ; for it is through the eff orts of such practi¬ 
cal journals that agriculture is being raised from 
a rude pursuit to an enlightened science.— Aledo 
(111.) Weekly Gazelle. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker. —We have 
long been acquainted with the Rural, and be¬ 
lieve it has no equal in the land as an agricul¬ 
tural weekly newspaper. We have noticed that 
its summary of news is always complete and 
promptly up to date. On moral and religions 
topics it is always outspoken and correct. No 
one in the family is neglected, for each finds a 
‘‘department” in the paper. We advise all, 
especially every farmer desiring a good family 
newspaper, to subscribe for Moore’s Rural 
New-Yorker. —Christian Herald. 
Those of out readers in want of aa agricul¬ 
tural paper published in the Middlo States can 
find no better one Mian the Rural New-Yorker, 
a splendid eight page paper, well edited, fully 
illusirated and fiuely printed. It is an agricul¬ 
tural and family paper, and its sheep department 
or which it mukeo a specialty is alone worth the 
price of the sheet .—Progressive Aye, Belfast, Me. 
Moore’s Rural New Yorker is now con¬ 
ceded to be the best, as it is the most popular, 
agricultural publication iu the country. Its 
practical departments are especially full aud 
valuable, while it gives a large amount of inter¬ 
esting literary matter. Both as a rural and family 
paper it is unsurpassed. — Kansas Chief.
