Tail Rural New-Yorker.—O ur old friend D. D. 
T. Moore has happened, like a great, many others, 
to make some unfortunate speculations whereby lie 
lost more money than he could afford to. f TIum bus 
embarrassed him; hut has not hurt his grit, sagacity 
or Rural. He still stands there at the editorial 
helm, and with the help of ids Old editorial assist¬ 
ants and legions of friends in all parts of the coun¬ 
try, will make the splendid paper which has been 
identified with bis name and fame tor a quarter of 
a century brighter and better than over. We pre¬ 
dict that, the your 1874 will bo the most prosperous 
year for tho null At, that It. has ever had, and that 
Mr. Moonii will come out of Ids temporary trouble 
all right, and go ou prospering and to prosper.— 
Dansvtlle Advert Is nr, 
Moore’s Kurai, New-Yorker has Issued its 
usual annual programme, designating its prospuotus 
for 1.874, one of the boat publications of Its class in 
the Union, as a family newspaper, with probably the 
largest cumulation of uny of its compeers. Mr. 
Moore, the managing editor, with an able stuff of 
assistants, is enabled to keep up every department, 
correspondence, &c„ to the highest mark, sparing 
neither labor nor expense to keep up Its former 
prestige. The paper was never in a more prosperous 
condition, nor more steadily increasing In circula¬ 
tion. We have exchanged with the KURA i, for more 
than a dozen years, ami heartily recommend it as one 
of the best of Its class .—Daily Xcws, tVatcrbuy, Conn. 
Moore's Rural Xew-vork i.n, one of the best

articles relating to held, farm and domestic econ¬ 
omy published from time to time In our agricultural 
column, we are Indebted to this oxoellcnt periodical. 
Its editor, Col. MOORE, during the Unnnclal panic 
which recently swept over the hind, was borne down 
by the current, but thanks to kind friends, lie is now 
“all right,"and has cummenced to build up. The 
paper deserves encouragement, fot It has earned it. 
May It ever continue to grow and prosper.—Dela¬
