SECOND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. 
ALL THINK IT “SPLENDID.” 
Dear Sir :—I send you money order for $5 
and two new names, one of them being my own. 
This makes my second remittance. The first 
clock was received in good order, and showing it 
in our store, I was compelled to sell it to a friend 
who would not take nay for an answer. So I 
lost my 1 ‘ Cricket” before I had owned it an hoar. 
I then went at it again, and have secured the 
additional name (with nry own) I send you, al¬ 
though it was mighty hard work to get him to 
subscribe. Every one to whom I showed the 
Rural likes it; but tho mud has about put a 
stop to all business out here, and there is no 
money in the country. I think the “ Cricket" is 
a beauty, and if it keeps as good time as it is 
handsome, it is without doubt the “boss” pre¬ 
mium. How can you afford to offer it! Wishing 
you success, I am, your friend,

Mr. Editor I sent you £10.00 and the 
names of four subscribers. I know that they 
were new, because they had never seen the pa¬ 
per before I showed it to them. I am more than 
pleased with my clocks, and think I shall send 
you some more subscribers. I got two clocks 
which wore one rnoro than I wanted. I sold one 
for £2 511, so I am more than satisfied with my 
work. This is my first trial at canvassing, and 
I was surprised to find it such easy work. You 
will bear from me again. s. n. f.

“ What a little Beauty!” was the exclamation 
of all the children as they crowded around me 
while untying the package that contained the 
Rural “Cricket." The enthusiastic expression 
of admiration the first sight of it drew from the 
j uvenile members of tho family, was modified a 
little later by my husband, who on liis return 
home, doubtfully remarked, “ Well, I hope 
it will he as correct as a time-piece as it is 
handsome as an ornament—but I don’t see how 
they can afford to give, for so small a considera¬ 
tion, a present combining both beauty and 
utility.” This was a week ago, and I resolved 
to defer acknowledging the receipt of the pre¬ 
mium, until its merits as a time-keeper should 
be tested. In the interval it has been quite as 
accurate as our family clock or my husband s 
watch, which, according to him, is infallible, s. 
Seneca Co., IT. Y., Feb. 27. 
Well, through the dear old Rural, I’ve got 
at last what I've long been—shall I say pining, 
hankering or anxious for ?—a pretty little time¬ 
piece of my own, making my room much more 
cheerful and—shall I Bay habitable? Some 
time back toy brother Ned got a new watch and 
at first we had lots or fun at his habit of pulling 
it out every few minutes to see what time it was, 
but I can tell now just how ho felt, for I’ve been 
up stairs for the last two days, scores of times 
just to see how tho “ Cricket” was getting along. 
Several other girls also have been in to see it, 
and if the Rural doesn’t get many more sub¬ 
scribers from this neighborhood, it won’t bo for 
want of school-girls anxious to have a hand¬ 
some little “ Cricket” Minnie L.

Your card received yesterday and the “ Crick¬ 
et" to-day, aud we are highly pleased with its 
appearance. Yet there are many pretty things 
in this part of the world which are not known to 
possess any other commendable quality; but we 
hope this may not prove such. We have placed 
him upon the 6hfclf, and he has started off on 
his round of duty with a pleasant face and bold 
front and a clear and distinct voice, and if he 
shall prove himself worthy of trust, we shall ad¬ 
mire and esteem him highly. d. c.

I send yon £3.50 for another Cricket. The 
first which you gave me for two new subscrib¬ 
ers, I sold for £3, so you see I now get a 
Cricket and the Rural for myself for 50 cents. 
I shall try for more. e. t. b.

I received my clock all right and we are 
greatly pleased with it. Inclosed I send you 
Money Order for £3.-50 for one more subscription 
aud another “ Cricket.” A friend called in just 
as we received; ours and we persuaded her to 
subscribe, and to add one dollar for the clock 
which is certainly worth five. Long life to the 
Rural ! l. j.

The “ Cricket" received, and O ! what a beau¬ 
ty. How the Rural Publishing Company can 
furnish two yearly subscriptions to such an ex¬ 
cellent paper, and such a beautiful little clock 
for the small sum of £5, passes my comprehen¬ 
sion. I am afraid you will not be able to supply 
the demand for the * 1 Cricket" when your liber¬ 
ality is more generally known. The clock itself 
is worth the money, and the paper is worth 
twice the subscription price. Success to the 
Rural and the “ Cricket.” Yours,

Dear Rural :—By to-day’s express, the pre¬ 
mium for new subscriber to Rural in the form 
of a beautiful little clock arrived ; it is in every 
way a little gem; it pleases the wife, tho chil¬ 
dren, and all the household. It doubly repays 
for the labor iu obtaining the two names. I 
cheerfully commend it to the friends of the 
Rural as a choice and ornamental time-piece, 
and worth working for. w. h. r. 
I received the “ Cricket ” clock yesterday. It 
was all right. I sold it for £2.75 within an hour 
after receiving it, and before 1 got home from 
town. I am going to have another. Clocks 
will be plenty now. IS. Burnham.

The “ Cricket” is received and I was agreea¬ 
bly surprised, not expecting to find as neat a 
little arrangement for a time-piece as it is. 
How you can give as nice a present and the 
Rural for the money (£3.50), rather puzzles 
me. as I don’t see where the profit comes to. 
We always used to suppose the Rural worth all 
the subscription, hut to have a reminder of it 
every hour, minute aud second before ns, is not 
at all unpleasant. Surely wo oannot forgot 
when the time comes to renew our subscription.

would take some time to name them all.
