It may be secured without any more effort than is required to toll its merits to a friend or so, and , 
a sample clock will enable anybody so inolined to dispose of hundreds in a week. 
The “ Cricket ” came safely, and runs well so 
far. If it continues to work iu the same man 
ner, I shall think it worth much more than the 
cost. A. .T. H. 
Oaktown, Iud., May 22, 1878. 
The clock came quite safely and I like it very 
much. It is neat and substantial. After the 
test of a few days I liud it keeps good time. 
Many thanks. Augusta F. 
Northflcld, Mass., May 28,1S7S. 
We received the clock May 25th, and are very 
much pleased with it. It fully equals our an¬ 
ticipations of its beauty aud worth. All our 
friends admire it aud ‘‘wish they had one just 
like it.” Many thanks. A. o. 
Cameron Mills, N. Y., May 28,1878. 
We received the “Cricket” in good order, 
and hardly know how to express our many 
thanks. Think it a “ gem,” and would not part 
with it for double its cost. Every one that sees 
it admires it. May be able to send you another 
subscriber before the time for the premium ex¬ 
pires, iu consequence of the presence of the 
“ little beamy.'’ Mtts. G. S. W.

Please find inclosed $5.00 for two new sub¬ 
scribers to the Kural and one “ Cricket ” clock. 
This makes the fiflh clock and seven copies of 
the Rural that 1 have sent for this spring. All 
are well pleased with the paper and cluck so far. 
J. B. 
Miller’s Station, Crawford Co., Pa., May 22, 1878. 
I received the “ Cricket ” safe and sound. It 
has gone splendidly ever since it arrived. Wo 
all like it, because it keeps such admirable time. 
It is invaluable. Please accept our thanks, w. l. 
Hamilton, Ont., May loth, 1S78. 
I have received the “ Cricket ” in the best or¬ 
der, and set it going at ouce, aud it has not va¬ 
ried a minute while 1 have had it—which is 
about ten days. Please accept my thanks for 
the beautiful present. l b. 
Columbia, PA., May 20,1S7S. 
I received tho “Cricket” clook a few days 
ago, aud have tried it for accuracy with my 
clock, aud find it cun keep right up with it. I 
must say it is much nicer than I expected it 
would be. I got ii for my daughter for a school 
clock, and she is very well pleased with it, and 
thinks it just the cutest thing yet, in the clock 
line. J. K. 
Mulberry, Ind., May 27,1S7S. 
I received tho “ Cricket" clock all right on 
the 17th, and am well pleased with it, as was also 
my own family, also my mother, brothers and 
sister. They all think it is splendid and would 
each like to have one if they can spare the 
money while the offer is open. I have also 
showu it to my neighbors who are well pleased 
with it, and I hope it may get yon some new 
subscribers from this place, as one or two have 
said they would seud for it. With many thanks 
I remaiu yours truly. j. s.

THE CHEAT PRIZE NOVEL. 
I received the “ Cricket "clock you Bent me 
a3 a premium, aud hereby acknowledge my 
thanks for the same. This is tho second clock 
you have sent me, which might look a littlo sel¬ 
fish, but I did not procure this last one for my¬ 
self. My first one has proven to be a splendid 
time-keeper, and I have no fearB but what the 
second one is just as good. The parties receiv¬ 
ing the Rural express great satisfaction and 
acknowledge it to he a valuable and useful 
household necessity. j. d. b.
