THE RURAL’S FALL CAMPAIGN. 
A TRIAL TRIP ! 
How to Save Postage IVcxt Year. 
The Kith at. Nbw-Yohkkh recently entered 
upon the Fall Term of its Twenty-Fifth Year, - 
and, in order to close its first quarter of a cen¬ 
tury properly and get a good send-off for its 
next annual voyage, proposes to make it an 
object for at least ten thousand persons to take 
a Trial Trip on board the stanch old craft. 
Please listen to our propositions: 
I. The Thirteen Numbers of t he Ritral’r 
closing Quarter for 1874 Oct . 1 to Bee. 81—will 
be sent, on Trial, for only Fifty Cents, to the 
ad dross of any person in the United States 
whoso remittance is received before Nov. 1. 
3. To all whose anbseriptioiiM for 1875 (whether 
singly at $2.50 per copy, or hi clubs at $2,) arc 
remitted previous to Dec. 1, 1874, we will send 
the lieuAt, for the ensuing year free of p .stage, 
or prepay the postage under the new law. All 
subscribing after Dec. 1 will be charged 15 cents 
extra for postage so that those remlttingearly

average although prices are not very high. Red 
wheat now sella at $1.10® 1.15 per bush. Barley 
is mostly held for $1,25 at which price T think the 
largest part could be bought. Oats, 50c.; buck¬ 
wheat, 65c. for fifty pounds. Apples ore now 
selling at $1.50 per barrel. Owing to the cheap¬ 
ness of appleB, a large quantity of older is being 
made which retails at fic-®7c. per gallon. Hogs 
Are advancing in price and sell at 6‘,$e. per 
pound gross weight. Butter retails at 33<\®35c.
