THB COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 
A WEEKLY JOURNAL 
For the Farm, the Garden, and the Fireside. 
This beautiful and excellent weekly paper has now 
been published nearly a year, and the gratification with 
which it has been received by the public, and the lib¬ 
eral circulation already extended to it, show that its 
general plan and object has met with the hearty ap¬ 
probation of those whose interests and improvement it 
was intended to promote. It combines in one large 
sheet, an Agricultural, Horticultural and Fami¬ 
ly Journal, furnishing, beside its large amount of 
practical matter on Rural Affairs, in its Fireside De¬ 
partment, a choice collection of articles peculiarly 
adapted to interest and exalt the views and aims of 
the Family Circle, together with a careful digest of 
the News of the Week, and a full report of the Pro¬ 
duce and Cattle Markets. 
It is illustrated with superior engravings, and print¬ 
ed in a neat and attractive style, making two handsome 
quarto volumes of 416 pages yearly. Price, Two 
Dollars per annum, in advance. • 
A new volume commences with the year 1854, for 
which subscriptions are solicited. 
Specimens of The Cultivator and The Country 
Gentleman will be sent to all who desire them, and 
Postmasters and others interested in rural pursuits, 
are invited to act as agents. All letters to be addressed
