the above-named paper, had become sorely embar¬ 
rassed in los pecuniary aflairs, and his many friends 
wete apprehensive that it would ,compel him to part 
with that excellent and valuable family aud agricul¬

A« Uiq advertisement in another column gives such 
assurance, that the "RL'iiac stilt lives, "und that 
Hr Other Moork'G connection with it is to continue : 
also, that the purpose of tho present conductors is to 
furnish a belter paper daring the ensuing year than

an effectual means of relieving one of tbe best of 
fellows from temporary embarrassment.— Geneva

flMoonfi’8 Rural Nkw-Yorkkh.-As will be seen 
by an advertisement in onrcolumns, the prospectus 
of the Rural New- Yorker lor ihc coming year is 
ample evidence that the enterprising direction of 
till* excellent publication ana ueiermined to make 
their paper better tiuiu ever during 1871. There are 
few of our weeklies which can boast ol a more 
numerous aud cum potent cornu of editors, and while 
agricultural affairs receive special attention, the 
literary and new* departments are not neglected. 
There are sixteen pages in each number, well fur¬ 
nished with good matter and good engravings, the 
paper is Internsting information, and we know of 
no better present to a country cousin titan a year’s 
subscrlpilon to the RURAL NEW-YouKER.— Prince¬

MOORE'S RURAL New-Yorker, Instead of being 
diminished in its usefulness by the deeply regretted 
financial embarrassment of its venerable founder, 
which we hope will be only temporary, comes to us 
not only as bright and full of information as here¬ 
tofore, but improved. There is no evidence of its 
failing! on the uontrary, it shows signs of life more 
vigorous and progressive than ever, which encour¬ 
age us to hail Its visits with renewed pleasure.— 
Maryland Farmer. 
Moore's Rural New-Yorker.— See advertise¬ 
ment of this celebrated Agricultural paper tn an¬ 
other column. Mr. Mookk has had some financial 
difficulty outside of his puper, but not so bad but 
what he trill be able to furnish the best Agricultural 
paper in the country. Give him a lift, you farmers, 
for whom lie has done so mucli in years past. He 
deserves your support now, and let him have it with 
a liberal hand, and he will give you a paper well 
worth the money.—Cattaraugus (A. Y.) Chronicle.
