PPBLISHEB’S  NOTICES. 
TO  8UBSCRIBEES  AND  AGENTS. 
Ah  we  are  now  enteiing  upon  the  aecond 
volume  of  the  Twenty  -  seventh  year  of  the 
Ruraj,  Nkw-Yorkkr,  it  would  be  well  for  the 
proprietorH  to  way  to  HubaorlberH  and  agents  that 
a  more  pronperouH  time  than  the  prenent  has  not 
been  Been  in  this  olhce  for  niutiy  a  year. 
Notwithstanding  the  ciy  of  “hard  times" 
which  has  been  echoing  thi’ough  the  laud,  the 
rural  population  seem  to  be  able  to  take  their 
paper.  It  may  not  be  kuowi  to  many  of  you 
that  at  the  end  of  each  year  and  half«yoar  a 
newspaper  changes  a  large  number  of  its  sul> 
Bcribers.  8ouio  old  ones  discontinue  and  their 
places  arc  filled  with  new,  so  that  while  the  list 
does  not  diminish  in  numbers,  the  changes  fre¬ 
quently  amount  to  many  himdrods. 
Thei  e  were  hundreds  on  our  list  whoso  Bul)- 
scriptions  expired  with  the  last  number  in  June, 
and  of  these  ovciy  one  has  rmeioed  but  nix. 
This  is  something  uiqirocodontod  in  the  annals 
of  a  newsi>ai)er  ofllce,  and  is  the  most  (luttering 
indication  to  the  new  nmuagem«nt  that  their 
strenuous  and  laborious  efforts  to  make  a  good 
paper  are  fully  appreciated.  With  such  enoom- 
agement  as  this,  subsoribers  and  agents  may 
rest  assured  that  nothing  which  time,  labor  and 
money  can  procure  wiU  hereafter  be  omitted  to 
make  tlie  Rurai.  still  better  than  it  is. 
The  Literary  Departments  will  be  kept  up  to 
theii'  standards  of  excellence  and  morality,  while 
the  l’racl4<'.al  Deimrtments  will  continue  to  be 
made  up  of  the  mf)Ht  straightforward  common 
sense  which  can  bo  obtained.  In  these  matters 
the  aini  w  ill  not  be  to  make  them  so  scientifto  that 
they  may  not  bo  readily  understood  by  every 
one ;  but  it  will  be  our  constant  endeavor  to  pub¬ 
lish  that  w'hich  is  ahmlutdy  correct.  Now,  all 
that  is  needed  is  for  each  subscriher  to  get  an¬ 
other  and  our  list  will  at  once  bo  doubled.

Owing  to  the  hard  times  and  low  freight  rates, 
vessels  out  of  Chicago  and  Milwaukee  are  loading 
too  deep.  The  ownere  and  masU:rs  want  to  take 
ever}'  bushel  possible,  and  in  their  eagerness  to 
get  asuffiolent  quantity  to  pay  expenses  are  really 
overladlug.  nils  Is  not  the  case  with  small  and 
mcdlum-dlmcnsloned  cruft  alone.  'J’he  larger  sail
