A Delay, and Wherefore. -Thin number of the Rubal 
goes to press a day behind time. The delay Is owing to the 
fact that No. 1 was put to prrss later than usual, so that we- 
could not print the edition, (eighty thousand,) and have the 
presses ready in lime for this week's forma. By extra night 
work, we hope to be "on time" next week. But It will be 
some weeks before we can send the lii kal to all mall sub¬ 
scribers by the mailing maeidiio process, or all papers for 
each post-office In a single package—for the reason that It is 
impossible to get the names In type as fust as they arrive. 
For .IhciprcBent, therefore,— while receiving thousands of 
names per day,—wc arc obliged to mull part of the list by 
machinery, and part (from books and letters) In the old 
manner. We are. however, doing our -utmost (by employing 
several extra clerks, working nights, etc.,) to mail all papers 
as promptly and regularly as possible, and hope, to be all 
right ere long. Meautiute, Agents and Subscribers must 
excuse us for not doing what is Impossible at present, viz., 
mailing all the papers for each office in one package. 
As to the Prosperity of the Enlarged Ritual, It far exceeds 
our anticipations,— but we have neither time nor space to 
give the figures at present. 
Onr PretnlmnM for dobs Include Books, Gold Pens, 
Photograph Albums,—Castors, Clothes Wringers, Churns, 
Wasblug Machines,—Gold and Silver Watches,— Melodeons 
and Organs,—Sewing, Knitting, Slowing and Heaping Ma¬ 
chines, &c„ Sc. By a recent arrangement we eau furnish 
either the 'Vubbi.br & Wilson or Guovkr & Baker $56 
Sewing Machine, as preferred, (and will send either for 50 
subscribers,30 of them new, at club rate; or, the same for 
30 subscribers, 20 of them new, at *8 earn.) For particulars 
as to all of.our Premiums, sec List, which is sent. tree. 
Our Club flute. -The lowest Club Rate of the P.ttral Is 
$ 2.50, and If any agents offer It for less they must pay ns that 
price. Our rates are invariable, and none are authorized to 
depart from them—though of course we cannot prevent agents 
from doing so, or even giving away the paper. 
About PrcrolninH, Arc.—Agents and others who form 
clubs for our premiums will please be careful, in sending In 
their lists, to note which arc the new subscribers and which 
are the renewals. This is essential that we may keep the 
accounts correctly. 
The Heat Way to obtain subscribers for the Ritual la to 
show the payer. Take a number in your pocket when you go 
visiting, or to the store, mill, etc.; or. If you are a merchant, 
mechanic or professional man, keep a number or two on band 
to show those who call.

Musical Instruments.— The Pianafortc has long 
been the popular home aud concert instrument, yet 
iu point of swelling and sustaining the tones it is 
extremely defective. On account of this deficiency, 
music written in chords, or in a connected style, 
cannot be satisfactorily executed, as the long notes 
result in diminuendos where they should be sus¬ 
tained. The taste for tlie Organ and orchestral 
style of music is being rapidly developed, and widely 
diffused — and the time is approaching when the 
demand for this sustained style of music will super¬ 
sede the present Piano compositions. There arc no 
instruments capable of such fine expression of tills 
style of music as the American Organs, manufac¬ 
tured by Messrs. 8. D. & H. W. Smith of Boston. 
Their delicacy and variety in the voicing renders 
them susceptible of beautiful orchestral effects, by 
the skillful use of the tremolo and the improved 
kuee swell, while the deep manual sub-bass which is 
added to the new styles, gives the closest resem¬ 
blance to the pipe organ. —Boston Journal. 
SPECIAL NOTICES. 
IMPROVED STUMP MACHINE. 
The following extracts from a letter, entirely unsolic¬ 
ited, received by Mr Willis tell their own story: 
Jasper, Stouhou Co., X. Y.. Dec. 27,1867, 
Mr. Willis — Bear Sir; I finished pulling stmnps yes¬ 
terday. having cleared seven and a half acres In five days. 
The stumps averaged three feet, in diameter. 1 pulled sev- 
cnU that measured 8fl feet across the roots, one way. and 
24 feet the other I pulled stumps for Mr. Josinli Craig. 
His are the largest in town. lie has a pair of horses that 
weigh about 1,400 lbs. each, and they exerted nil their 
strength. The roots of some stumps were 19 incites in 
diameter Your machine was fairly tried—tested in every 
respect and proved itself equal, if uot superior, to what¬ 
ever you claim for it. Yours, &c„ Josiaii Walrath. 
A person iu Michigan has realized over a thousand dol¬ 
lars the past year laboring by tlie day with one of these 
machines. Mr. Willis is prepared to supply customers on 
short noiiee. This machine will clear an acre of stumps 
without change of position. It can be used on a side-hill 
as well as on level ground, which is an advantage overall 
other machines. Price, $850. Further information may 
be obtained by addressing Mr. Willis, or enclosing stamp 
for pamphlet giving description, Ac. To avoid all mis¬

dends than usual.

number of hogs packed In 88 towns. West and Southwest, in 
I860, and the estimated amount this year, as follows: 
No. of hogs packed in 1866. 54S.G23

falling off In lard Is generally reported. 
There has been u falling off in the receipts of cattle, at 
Chicago, for ISO*, of 62,003 head, as compared with 1866. 
Tobacco.—T he total number of packages of leaf tobacco 
»old at Cincinnati last year was 37,000, an Increase of about 
100 per cent, over the sales ol 1866 , xiie value of the sales In 
1867 was $4,050,110. Cincinnati is now the largest market for 
leaf tobacco In the United Slates. 
Wn bat AM) Fcorn,—The price of red wheat In this city 
yesterday was $2,50®2,55. Flour is selling at $l.s,so®10,OO. The 
exports of wheat from New York last year was 4,150.963 bush- 
Amount exported in 1866,323,669 bush.; Increase last year, 8,- 
025,201 bushels. The number of bushels of corn exported from 
New York In 1867 was 7.081,74s. In 1866 the exports of corn 
from tin- tamo points were 11,079,894 bushels. 
Wool.— The stock of wool held by the Boston Commission 
Merchants at the end Of the year Just closed was ahont 7,000,- 
000 lbs. against. 6,50(1,000 lbs. In 1866. The Boston sales last 
w eek amounted to only 600.000 lbs., at. prices ranging from 26 
OMc for fleece, and 25®47e for pulled. The Boston Bulletin 
of Saturday says: 
" The wool market has remained quiet during the past week 
and transactions, as usual hi the winding tip of tlie year’s 
business. When both buyers and sellers an- engaged in souar- 
iugaecouiits, foot upas .lias ga 
all grades of wool, and an active demand for eon 
sumption is expected before tlie new ypar is far advanced 
1 lie stock-, both here and in the country, are firmly held at 
mont!!’Pf°ii C< “fc* 84 l,a , ve been current during the 
month of December, and many large lota of choice staple are 
not Offering even at the advanced rates: tJi-elr owncrfbolne 
S h msi'm?!) MpF before tlie end of the scasom 
tint most holders are free sellers at current figures.” 
In regard to woolen goods the Independent of last week 
says" It Is a rather healthy Indication that, at this dullest 
season of tlm whole year In the dry goods trade, prices of 
woolens, which have been depressed below those of any other 
description of goods, show a decided tendency to improve¬ 
ment, and a disposition Is shown to make speculative pur¬ 
chases.” 
Apples.— The apple market Is quite active, with a good 
supply. It Is supposed, owing to the early closing of the 
Canal, that the quantity of apples in Urst hands is larger 
than ordinary, and that the local consumption will be 
greater than usual, Prices range from $2.50 to $3.00, accord¬ 
ing to size of barrels, 
Cranberries are in good supply, but restricted to the 
cultivated ones from the East. As a declining market pre¬ 
vails there, the tendency here is also downward in sympathy 
with it. 
Chestnuts are quite limited iu supply, and prices rule 
high— eny $6.0(1 per bushel. 
Hickory Nuts were in greater supply the past fall than 
tor many previous years. Ohio nuts sell for $2.00 and State 
for $2.50 per bushel. 
Beans.— White Beans are uncommonly scarce and, as a 
consequence, rule high, with an advancing tendency. Pricus 
range from $3.50 to $3.75. 
Onions were never known to be so scarce as now In tlds 
market. They are selling, when any offer, at $1.25@1.50, Pos¬ 
sibly would command more, if any were offered of a good 
quality. 
Potatoes are in fair supply, at 75@80c. It is not expected 
they will recede much, if any, below these figures.

BoomcsTKit, January 8, 1868. ) 
Tiik financial interests of this country arc now vastly Im¬ 
portant. At al times, everything affecting the monetary 
affairs of a nation Is of consequence, for when they are seri¬ 
ously deranged, the industry and prodnelivc energies of the 
people are speedily paralyzed. Under existing circumstances 
it. is more important thatour financial affairs tfliould be wisely 
managed tliau ever before. Everybody feels this—all are sen¬ 
sitive in regard to the condition of Hie country' financially,— 
for there is no class but what have Interests at stake, from 
tlie common day laborer to tile largest capitalist. As a peo¬ 
ple, we have on enormous loud to carry. Wc assumed it 
resolutely, cheerfully, because the honor, even the perpe¬ 
tuity of the nation, were involved. Without a murmur the 
people submitted to be tnxed, and voted enormous taxes 
upon their estates, for they regarded the contest they were 
waging ofuiori-consequence, than dollars and cents.- indeed, 
their farms an.i homesteads were valueless without a coun¬ 
try where law and order should be. respected and obey¬ 
ed. The war i< ended, Imt the. debt incurred is not paid. 
Everybody says pay it, principal and interest, to the utter¬ 
most farthing, Out when and hath arc matters of discussion. 
All feel the importance of having the wisest financial legis¬ 
lation that cai be devised; all want a system that slmll en¬ 
courage industry, promote the development of the resources 
of the country, and that shall make necessary taxation as 
equal as possible. Hence, men and women, who heretofore 
regarded questions of finance and taxation as subjects to be 
discussed and managed by a particular class, are almost un¬ 
consciously becoming interested readers of every thing per¬ 
taining to this class of subjects. This Is Well, and it Is a 
hopeful augury of the future, that people are determined to 
understand ivliat so intimately concerns tliptn. 
The quarterly bank statements have been made without 
apparently producing tlie disturbance in monetary affairs 
that has sometimes been occasioned. The banks in tills City 
have continued to afford their customers the usual accom¬ 
modations. There is not so much inconvenience experienced
