EIGHTH WEEK. 
The Rural Oiicket to be Withdrawn, posi¬ 
tively, the 1st of July. 
The most Liberal and Valuable Present ever 
offered by any Journal. 
All ARE PLEASED AND THE RURAL IS HAPPY! 
All are delighted with the “ Cricket ’’ and 
the Robal. . ,i. u. 
Tallahassee, Fla. 
The “ Cricket ” arrived safely, and I soon 
had it running. It is a perfect little gem, ad¬ 
mired by every one who sees it. k. a. p. 
Loudon Grove, Pa„ AprU 23. 
The “ Cricket " the merry little cricket, came 
to hand all right; it exceeded my expectation as 
a neat little time-piece. My sister, who is teach¬ 
ing, has it in school and says it is a perfect little 
gem to keep time. w. s. m 
Lowiatown, Pa., April 10, 1878. 
The “ Cricket ” was promptly received un¬ 
harmed. Wo have it mounted ou a bracket 
where it “ticks 1 ' merrily day and night, not 
seeming to get weary at all. We are very much 
pleased with it. Please aocept thanks. 
Rutland, Vfc., April 10. J. P. S. 
The Cricket Clock arrived safely by express. 
I am very much pleased with it. It is uicer than 
I anticipated; I am free to say it is all you 
claim, and is well worth the money. It is a 
pretty little affair and ticks away as if it meant 
business. n. e. ar. 
Litchfield, Conn. 
Please pardon my dilatoriness in acknowl¬ 
edging the receipt of the “ Cricket” which came 
duly to hand. It is a beautiful ornament for 
the bracket and a splendid time-keeper. The 
Rural has my sincere thanks and best wishes 
for its prosperity. o. o, p. 
Batavia, ill,, April istb, ists. 
I have received the “ Cricket ” (which is right¬ 
ly named, as it rivals the cricket in noise,) and 
like it very much; now that I have it regulated 
it keeps right along with my eight-day clock, and 
although it is the sixth time-piece in the house I 
do not care to part with it. 8. c. s. 
CLlnton, N. J., AprU 15th, 1878. 
I received the Cricket Clock the 19th of this 
month. It came aU right; it keeps first-rate 
time so far and I should hate to part with it for 
considerably more than it and the Rural 
both cost me. It is like the Rural, “hard to 
beat.” I shall never, willingly, stop taking the 
Rural New-Yorker. h. f. s. 
Shelburne, vt., April 22 . 
The “ Cricket ” Clock came to hand ten days 
ago with ouly one blemish upon its character, 
and that was nothing that ought to be spoken 
aloud, for many of us are in the same fault: 
that is beiug “ too fast,” but a regulator, you 
know, has a wonderful effect, sometimes, and it 
proved so in thiB case. It is just right now in 
every respect. Many thanks for this “ thing of 
beauty, ' and I am sure it will be a joy as long 
as its life lasts. One cannot very well be lone¬ 
some in the room with it, it speaks so loud and 
clear, click, click, click. Mrs. E. B. 
North Cambridge, Vt., April 13. 
♦ 
I received tho “ Cricket Clock ” the 11th ; the 
reason I haven’t written you before is, I thought 
I had got sold on the clock. I wound it up, as I 
supposed, but it stopped two days iu succession: 
after that I wound it clear up, and it hasn’t 
stopped since. I feared breaking the spring if I 
wound it away up, so I concluded that was all 
there was the matter with it. I am very much 
obliged to you for so nice a gift: it keeps excel¬ 
lent time; am very much pleased with it. It re¬ 
minds me of what the girls say when they get a 
new bonnet; “ it is perfectly splendid.” d. a. 
New Labanon, April 22. 
We received the Cricket Clock iu good con¬ 
dition. I at once wound it up, and it started 
right off on duty j ust as though it knew how, 
and I guess it did; for with a very little regu¬ 
lating it has proven itself to keep as correct time 
as the old clock, and by the way, makes much 
more noise. Please accept our thanks for such 
a beautiful and useful ornament for the dining¬ 
room shelf. The Rural is a weekly visitor at 
our home and among seven papers it is our 
choice. Its valuable teachings and instructive 
lessons should he a sulliciout compensatiou to 
all its readers for a little extra work to promote 
its best interests. j. D . B<
