THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
WHAT OTHERS SAY. 
The Rural’s First Seed Distribution 
for 1879. 
A FEW COMMENTS OF THE PRESS. 
The .Scientific Farmer (Boston, Mass.) says:— 
“ The Rural New Yorker, 78 Duane St.., New Y’ork, 
is giving- its sabscribers a series of “ Free Distribu¬ 
tions” of seeds and plants. When the high char¬ 
acter and real value of this paper to the farmer 
is considered, this additional service to its sul.»- 
sertbers must clinch many friendships, and form 
many new ones." 
The New-orleans Picayune s-ys“Thanks to 
t hat enterprising and model agricultural Journal, 
the Rural New-Yorker, for a sample package of 
choice seeds, such, as the Rural Publishing Com¬ 
pany distributes gratuitously among its numerous 
subscribers. But tills is, only a specimen ol the 
Jirst. of a series of free distributions for the year. 
They are among the tlnest of hardy plants in culti¬ 
vation. It is an ingenious and effectual method 
of seeming the cultivation of these useful and 
beautiful products and plants In all parts of the 
Country, and of extending then cultivation. The 
Rural Publishing Company bestows a great favor 
on their subscribers, and a still greater l'uvor on 
the whole country." 
The Farm and Fireside. (Springfield. Ohio), 
says: —“The publishers of the Rural New- 
Yorker, 7S Duane Sl„ New- York City, are con¬ 
ducting a series of Fiat* Heed Distributions among 
their subscribers. We have received a sample of 
the Brat distribution, and arc free to say it is all 
the publishers claim for U. Ten of the varieties 
they offer cannot be pui-chased here or In Europe. 
They are among the lineal hardy plants in cultiva¬ 
tion. The Rural is a wide-awake, progressive 
journal, and merits a hearty support.” 
The Buffalo(N. Y.,) Christian Advocate says:— 
“ T’iie Rural New-Yorker Publication Co., is mak¬ 
ing a free distribution of very rare and choice seeds 
to its subscribers. We have received from the 
company a sample package ol the “ Beauty of 
Hebron" potato. The cost to the company must 
be considerable, as some of the seeds which they 
give to their subscribers cannot be purchased 
either in tills country or In Europe.” 
The Michigan Farmer says: •*We have been 
sent by the publishers oi the Rural New-Yorker, 
one of the packages of seeds whirl) they are dis¬ 
tributing among the subscribers to the Rural, 
some ol the varieties arc only obtainable by means 
of this distribution as they cannot be purchased. 
T he package contained ten packages, consisting 
of plant* vegetable and dower seeds, all of desira¬ 
ble varieties, it Is certainly a very extensive and 
costly experiment the Rural Is trying, and we hope 
their enterprise toll be rewarded.” 
T he observer. (Out., Canada.) says“ As our 
readers are aware, the Rural New-Yorker is this 
winter sending out several varieties ot choice and 
valuable seeds, grown on ils own experimental 
farm, free to all its subscribers who apply for 
them. Samples of these seeds have been sent to 
this office, and we ffnd them to be all that they 
were represented. Some ol them will be very val¬ 
uable to farmers, especially the new fodder plant. 
Pearl Millet. We have also received a sample of 
the new potato, the ** Beauty of Hebron," which 
it claims to Ire earlier ami superior to the Early 
Rose.” 
The Monongaliela (Pa.,) Republican says:— 
“ subscribers to the Rural New-Yorker are being 
delighted wTth packages or valuable seed sent out 
free to each one, from the Rural experimental 
farm. T he plan is simply this: Each subscriber 
may select from the list what is desired, and on 
enclosing a postage stamp naming the kinds de¬ 
sired, they are duly forwarded as a gin. No other 
proposal at once so valuable and so generous has 
been offered. In order to better understand tills 
matter, address Rural Publishing company, 78 
Duane St., New York City, for a sample paper. A 
postal card request will be duly honored.” 
The Harrisburg, (Iowa) courier says: — “ Our 
readers have probably noticed in the Courier the 
advertisement ot the Rural New-Yorker. This is 
one of the very best publications in the country, 
and one of the foremost in advancing scientific 
agriculture. The publishers are now sending 
about a dozen different packages of seeds—orna¬ 
mental and useful—to their subscribers free of 
charge, nearly all ot which cannot be obtained 
from any other source, us they have been origi¬ 
nated and grown on their own experimental farm. 
They have our thanks for samples." 
The I'uiuulat, (N. .J.,) says:—“That standard 
agricultural paper, the Rural New-Yorker, 78 Du¬ 
ane st., New York City, in addition to giving their 
subscribers tdietr money’s worth tn reading matter 
are sending to each one packages of seeds, from 
the tiuest plants in cultivation. Some of the vari¬ 
eties are specialties ol their own which cannot be 
purchased here or In Europe. They also send a 
•• Beauty of Hebron” potato. This la but a fore- 
mate of other good things that are to tollow, for, 
as they assure us they intend to send other gifts to 
their patrons during the year.” 
The Cincinnati (u.) Gazette says:—“ The Rural 
New Yorker Company, 78 Duane street, New York, 
is distributing to its subscribers JTee generous 
packages of flower and vegetable seeds, hardy 
plants—ten varieties of which cannot be purchased 
in America or Europe.”

MISCELLANEOUS. 
A Congressional delegation called on the Presi¬ 
dent aud urged him to sign the anti-Chinese bill. 
The National Workingmen’s Assembly of Wash¬ 
ington have adopted resolutions appealing to the 
President to sign the bill as the only means of 
preventing bloodshed on the Pacific coast. A 
mass meeting of politicians and merchants held 
at .San Francisco telegraphed petitions to the Ex¬ 
ecutive urging him to sigh. Mass meetings have 
been held at Washington. Sacramento and Chicago 
tor the same purpose. It is contended on the 
other hand, that great benefits have accrued to 
California from the immigration of the Chinese 
and t hat the passage of the hill would be a gross 
violation of treaty obligations and national honor. 
The New York Chamber ot Commerce at A special 
meeting held Feb. 27 discussed the question and 
protested that by every consideration of duty and 
Interests the President should veto the hill. They 
also appointed a committee of three members of the 
t ’lumber to confer with the President upon whom 
great pressure bus been brought to bear, from all 
sides. 
Gem Patrick and Prof. Law have issued the fol¬ 
lowing: “In view of the existence of contagious 
pleuro-pneumonla on Long Island and vicinity, the 
owners of cattle lu adjacent counties are earnestly 
requested to co-operate with the State authorities 
In their efforts to stamp out the disease. Attention 
to the following suggestions will greatly facilitate 
the work or the cattle disease staff, and Is strongly 
urged for general adoption: 
“ First —Purcnaae all new cattle irorn neighbors 
only whose stock Is known to be sound. Avoid 
purchasing from dealers, and refuse even Western 
cattle that have been kept ror a day In common 
rattle-yards or dealers’ stables. 
•• snvinit —.Di the case of all new purchases, even 
from neighbors, wheu the stock has passed over a 
public highway, place such animals in a separate 
building at a distance from the home herd, aud 
keep them thus secluded tor one month after pur- 
■>e. 
“ Thii ii— Should any such quarantined animals 
become sick, report the name at once to Gen. Pat¬ 
rick, Board of Health, Brooklyn, together with the 
place theywere brought from, the name of the 
former owner, and the movie of conveyance. 
“ Fourth —Notify Gen. Patrick at once of all sus¬ 
picious cases occurring among cattle, eveu Inde¬ 
pendently of l.lie purchase of new stock. 
“ Wi— Exclude all cattle-dealers, butchers, and 
visitors, under all circumstances, from yards and 
buildings In wldch store cattle are kept. 
“ In view of the Importance of the speedy extinc¬ 
tion of the disease, the hearty co-operation of the 
owners of cattle is confidently expected.” 
Attorney General Deven* has given an official 
opinion to tbe Postmaster General overruling a 
decision of the Assistant Attorney General for the 
Post Office Department with relation to The right 
of members of Congress elect to the next Congress

A terrific explosion occurred at Stockton, Cail- 
fornlu, the other day. A crowd of more than 200 
people had assembled to witness the trial of a new 
propeller pump, set in the slough, and run by a 
thrashing engine. Those who stood near the en¬ 
gine, where the explosion occurred, were prostra¬ 
ted. The body of the engine was blown a distance 
of i.w ieet through the crowd. The dead lay 
prostrate in every direction, some falling into the 
Slough from the bridge. Ten or twelve dead bodies 
lay In one heap at the northwest eoruur of the 
bridge. People lay dead aud dying on the street, 
blown from so to 100 feet. Some were blown to 
the ground with such force as to break every Hone 
In their bodies. Faces, hands, aud whole persons 
were scalded. The wounded were promptly cared 
for, and the dead were left undisturbed until the 
excitement ol the moment had subsided, when 
they were removed to the coroner’s ofiloe. The 
explosion was the result of recklessness on the 
part of the engineer. T he steam-gauge refused to 
work, ana alter the engineer laid attempted to fix 
it and failed, fie screwed down the safety-valve, 
aud went on with Ids work. The explosion oc¬ 
curred about lit minutes afterward. The killed 
numbered ifi, the wounded 26, three or four of 
whom are not likely to recover. Many were blown 
a considerable distance, and escaped uninjured. 
The demand for back pensions has begun. During 
the first six months of the fiscal year, the number 
of persons who presented claims for Invalid pen¬ 
sions was 6,247. Since the passage of the new

clalmH, and the applications tor blank forms have 
been ten times as great as tn any corresponding 
time during the past year.

the full extent of the law. lie made no remark, 
manifested no emotion, and simply bowed as the 
sentence was named, .fudge Williams, in revlew- 
lng the case, spoke of the high social position occu¬ 
pied by Angell, the enormity of his offense and the 
confidence reposed lu him by the company, and ex¬ 
pressed his belief that the full penalty at. least was 
deserved. 
A span, no feet long, of the iron bridge of the 
Chicago and Alton Railroad at Wilmington, ills., 
gave way on the morning ot the 27 th February,

and three cars were precipitated into the Kankakoe 
River, a distance of over thirty feet. The bridge is 
of the Howe truss pattern, other sections ol it 
were Injured, the total loss amounting to several 
thousand dollars. Nobody was injured. It is sup¬ 
posed that the keen frosts had affected the pon¬ 
derous castings. Trains will temporarily run over 
another branch of the road, and no delay will occur.

ruary and forty-three horses boarded there were

A shipper of cattle writes that, the stock that goes 
to an Eastern market ts carried much too fast, tlu

treason to his master. 
It is stated that, the Ameer was received with 
acclamations by the people during his late pro¬ 
gress, through Eastern Asia, and that he firmly 
reiterated his Intention of continuing the war. Ills 
death has just been announced. lie will probably

The resignation ol Archbishop Purcell was 
prompted by Ids financial embarasaments, though 
he has long contemplated the step. In fact, he 
tendered his resignation in person to Pope Plus IX, 
twenty years ago, but the Pope declined accepting

are worthy ot the crown.” The Catholic commu¬ 
nity at Cincinnati is greatly excited over the Arch¬ 
bishop’s failure, especially the German portion of 
it, and the venerable prelate is worried almost t<>
