WHAT LEADING JOURNALS SAY OF THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, 
Moore’r Rural New-Yorker is not a 
sensation paper, and may not win patrons 
ho fast as some that are ; but those it wins it 
keeps, by giving them the full worth of their j 
money in instructive, wholesome, agreeable 
information with regard to Farming and 
Household Affairs, with a goodly array of 
1 iterary Matter, Markets, <fcc., &e. We pre¬ 
sume that no man who took The Rural was ! 
ever afraid or ashamed to be seen reading it, 
or hesitated to commend It to his neighbors. 
-Horace Greeley, in N. Y. Tribune. 
We huve been a constant reader of the 
Rural New-Yorker for many year’s, and 
huve t herefore no hesitation iu saying that 
neither anything contained in the prospec¬ 
tus, or the most llattering notice we cun 
give, i: in excess of the real merits of the ! 
paper. Wenow repeat what we have often \ 
times said before, that it is the best Rural 1 
Newspaper in the World. -Sioux City Times. 1 
The Rural New-Yorker is a paper the 
fame of which is without a blot. Character¬ 
istically Agricultural, it is in the broadest 
sense a Family Paper—one which may be 
admitted without doubts as to its tendency. 
It has an immense circulation, and merits 
patronage wider still. Its readers ure like 
Oliver, always asking for— Moore.— Exam¬ 
iner nml Chronicle. 
The best Weekly Agricultural and Family , 
Newspaper we ever saw is the Rural New- 
Yorker. It has several Editors, all men of 
reputation, besides numerous regular con 
tributoi’s, scattered all over the country.— 
Kentucky Statesman, 
The Rural is not only a favorite in the 
rural districts, but deservedly popular in the 
cities. No newspaper in any country ever 
ran a more prosperous career .—Louisville. 
< Ky.) Journal. 
The Rural New-Yorker has now for 
over a score of years bean an honor to jour 
uulistn. Excellent and pure in its literary 
contents, abounding in timely information 
on all matters pertaining to agricultural and 
rural affairs, and tasteful to fastidiousness in 
its arrangement, aud letter press, its unri¬ 
valed success is assured.—xV. V. Evanydist. 
Always fresh and varied, and suited to 
almost every phase and period of life, 
Moore’s Rural now stands, pre-eminently, 
the most beautiful aud popular weekly of 
its class published anywhere.—& S. Visitor. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker is not ex¬ 
celled as an agricultural journal. In all that 
relates to the farm, duiiy, stock, garden, 
and household, it is an authority. As a 
family paper it is excellent.— Mich. Rep. 
The Rural is, to our mind, unequaled.— 
Reformed Presbyterian , ($. C.) 
[ The Rural New-Yorker is the most ele¬ 
gantly printed, ably edited, widely circu¬ 
lated and heartily welcomed paper, as a 
whole, which now fluds its way among the 
people.— Williamsport (Pa.) Ilulldin . 
The Rural Nkw-Yorkf.k, conducted by 
Hon. D. D.T. Moore, has attained the largest 
circulation of any paper of its class in the 
Country or the world.— Roch. Daily Dem. 
The Rural New Yorker is an excellent 
and deservedly popular Weekly. It is rich 
in contents, beautifully illustrat ed, and com¬ 
plete in.all respects.—Y, O. Picayune. 
Moore’s Rural bus a Continental Circula¬ 
tion, and is a favorite in every State and 
Territory of the Union, Canada, etc. Roch. 
Daily Union. p 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker is an able 
and well managed |paper, and deserves the 
success it has achieved.— N. 1'. Daily Times.
