A Special Itcnnest. — Wo frankly ask all its 
fricmls to aid in extending the circulation and use¬ 
fulness of the RURAL. Thousands of its old sub¬ 
scribers am already doing this, and we trust the 
hosts w ho are joining its standard In all parts of the 
country will do us and their neighbors the favor to 
Introduce the paper to notice and support in their 
respective localities. Friends, please show your 
neighbors and acquaintances the Model Rural, Lite¬ 
rary and Family Newspaper, and Invite, them to sub¬ 
scribe. Though our daily receipts probably largely 
exceed those ©t any other Weekly in America there

Time to make Additions.

as wo can neither mail papers correct!y, nor credit 
money, without proper data. We have several

An extraordinary party was IntoJy given by 
Mr. Sovy, proprietor of the London Daily Tele¬ 
graph. His targe garden was covered over, and 
made to represent “tho Alhambra." His wife 
presided at the drinking bar, made to represent 
the original; and the dancing, the tables hero 
and there, and the groups were likewise on the 
Leicester gqaro model. 
ONLY six years since there died at Largie, 
South-ArgyllBhire, an old man who remembered 
tho introduction of the first cart into that dis¬ 
trict. Such an excitement was raised by it that 
people flocked from far and near to get a Right 
ol’ the wondrous machine; and, In self-defence, 
and to preserve his property, its owner took it to 
pieces each night, and stowed away its wheels, 
box, and axle, in a place of safety lib morning. 
And yet, before that man’s death, tho steam 
plow had been used in Largie. 
Petr Green tins sold an Interest In the Cale¬

frequent calls that are made upon Beth to visit 
various parts of t he. country and re-stock tho 
depleted waters of other Plates with fish has 
made his labors quite onerous, and in Mr. Col¬ 
lins he has a gent lemun who will attend to tile 
management ol' the trout farm and thereby 
lighten bis duties somewhat, and enable him to 
give still greater attention to the increase of fish 
elsewhere. Po says the Rochester Chronicle. 
The Marquis d'Ourcbos, by his Will, founded a 
prize of 30,000 francs for (lie discovery of a sure 
and simple means of recognizing if death be 
real or apparent. Dr. Currie re, says the French 
Vourrtcr dc VEurc, intends to claim the money 
for a process which ho has employed for forty 
years. This system consists in placing the band, 
with tlio lingers closed, before the flame of a 
lamp or candle. In the living person the mem¬ 
bers are transparent and of a pinkish color, 
showing the capillary circulation and life in full 
activity; while in that or a corps, on the con¬ 
trary, all is dull and dark, presenting neither 
sign of existence nor trace of the blood current.

Henry W. Long fellow, Rev, George B. 
Chccvcr, und Nathaniel Hawthorne graduated at 
liowduin College in 1825. Their class had thirty- 
eight members, and the valedictorian nndsalu- 
tatorian are unknown to the literary world. 
Longfellow ranked fourth and Chccver eighth, 
but Hawthorne seems to have had no aspiration 
for college honors, und took no rank at all. 
IIi'.nny A. A Vise says, iu a recent idler, “1 
pi-aiso Go»for tho war every day, not withstand¬ 
ing its disaster and deaths, as a special provi¬ 
dence, to free trie and my heirs forever from 
the weakness, if not wickedness, of African 
slavery." But nine years ago last October, when 
he was Governor of Virginia, we heard him say 
iu the Executive Chamber at Hiehniond;— “ I 
would bang John Brown ii I knew that by par¬ 
doning him I would become President- next 
year.” 
Queen Ranavaloman.iak a of Madagascar has 
renounced Idolatry and when crowned, in Sep¬ 
tember last, had a Bible at her side instead of an 
idol, as had her ancestors; while on tho four 
sides of the canopy, over her throne, “ Glory to 
God in the highest, and on earth peace, good 
will toward men," shone in letters of gold. In 
her coronation speech the Queen said, referring 
to Christianity, “There is no compulsion and 
there is no prevention, for Gon made you.'' 
Thus ensuriug religious liberty for the future. 
Prof. Constantine Tiscn kndo-rf has prom¬ 
ised that the sixth pari of his Greek Testament, 
(which is tn complete the Gospel of John) shall 
be issued this month, and that tlio whole work, 
for whii-h scholars all over the world have been 
long and anxiously waiting, shall be completed 
in 1870. Tho text, of this “eighth edition" will, 
according to eminent American authority, 
“ probably lie ns near a finality ns \w shall ever 
attain,” and to aid in its construction the groat 
scholar made a personal collation of the cele¬ 
brated Vatican Manuscript, at Home, which with 
his own wonderful discovery—the Sinaitie Manu¬ 
script-wili contribute to the purity arid excel¬ 
lence of t he entire text. These two manuscripts 
are both of the Fourth Century, and arc the two 
oldest known.

The Great American Tea Conipnny.— We have 
bfttore had occasion to speak of this establish¬ 
ment in answer to correspondents, and what we 
have Said iti its praise has been t he result of otir 
personal observation. We. know that tiiey ure 
doing a very successful business. An important 
fact to consumers is that their orders crowd 
their facilities, and consequently their goods are 
Invariably new and fresh. 
The consumers of tea and coffee have hereto¬ 
fore been paying too many mid too large profits 
on these necessary art icles, and in projecting and 
carrying out this immense enterprise, and thus 
affording the public an opportunity to obtain 
them at the very lowest price, the Great Ameri¬ 
can Tea Company have conferred a favor which 
the people have not been slow to appreciate and 
second by their patronage. Thus in doing away 
with tho immense profits on the tea trade, this 
company are not only benefiting the public, but 
securing an immense trade for themselves, a 
small per centage on which makes a handsome 
profit in the aggregate.
