REMARKS. 
A'ra-oh I2th. Warm—snow melting rapidly. 
iOth. ftlild—insects make their appearance again; 
a I'.ttle rain at night. 
I4th. Spring morning; snow' nearly gone; meadow 
sparrow, robin, blue bird, and black bird, heard.— 
Robins were heard in February, also about the first 
of March. 
ISth. Cooler — cloudy. 
16th. Fine day—alder begins to blossom. 
I7th. Fine morning—cloudy and rains a little in 
the afternoon. 
18th. Snow storm this morning and continues to 
enow through the day; angle-worms were seen 
crawling on the snow’—this observation led some to 
suppose they fell from the clouds with the snow’— 
a very improbable supposition: it is not a very well 
established hypothesis that the atmosphere high 
above the surface of the earth is inhabited by fish, 
toads, frogs, angle-worms, which descend to this 
mundane sphere, sometimes with snow, rain and 
hail, and at other times come down in clear weath¬ 
er. It is much more probable that the worms, refer¬ 
red to, come up from the earth, than down from 
the clouds. 
Dissolution of the Union. 
The Buffalo Advertiser thus closes an able arti¬ 
cle on this all engrossing subject: 
“As to Georgia—w'C find this little but signifi¬ 
cant item in the Forsyth (Ga.) Bee: 
* With shame and mortification wo have to re¬ 
cord the humiliating fact that the Southern meet¬ 
ing advertised to come off yesterday, at this place, 
turned out to be a perfect and entire failure. No 
interest was manifested by any one, and the w’holc 
affair went by default. YVe are overwhelmed with 
astonishment at the apathy and indifference mani- 
fe.sted by the good citizens of Monroe in relation 
to this matter. But talk w’ill do no good. We have 
tried it until w'e are heartily sick of it, and, with but 
few exceptions, to no eflect.’ 
The Legislature of Kentucky has just refused 
to appoint delegates to Nashville. A Legislative 
Convention of Mississippi itself, presided over by 
Gen. Quitman, has resolved that opposition to the 
admission of California is to be limited to ‘ honor¬ 
able and constitutional means.’ 
From eveiy quarter there are coming ])roof8 that 
the people of the Southern States are not capable 
of being brought up to the scratch by their Repre¬ 
sentatives in Congress. The latter have known 
this fact from the beginning, but they had hoped 
to extort some concession from the treachery or 
cowardice of Northern Members, before it should 
bo made palpable to all mankind. They have 
failed, signally failed — the lion’s skin has been 
stripped from the a.ss, and he may bray now at 
Nashville, without finding any mortal, however 
timorous, w’ho will subject himself to ridicule by 
confessing that he is alarmed.” 
Hon. C. a. Wickliffe. —The Ilarrodsburg 
(Ky.) YVhig states that this gentleman, who filled 
tho olhce of Post Master General under President 
Tyler, is in imminent danger of becoming blind, 
a disease having fastened upon his ej'es w’hich ap¬ 
parently defies medical skill.

of one who is Mr. Thomas’ superior, if his equal, in 
condensing important matter. He gets right at the

to know at once ; stripped of all useless talk and 
twattle. No man has a keener eye for the best way

thing new, or some improvement on the old ; and 
we are seldom disappointed. This book is no ex¬

TO FARMERS AND GARDENERS! i 
SEYMOI'R’S GRAIN DRILL. 
T his drill, winch was patented in Septem¬ 
ber, 1849, is one of tho latest improvements in 
Drilling Machines, and lietter adapted to the wants 
of the farmer than any other now before the public. 
It sows or plants all kinds of grain and seeds, from 
peas, beans, corn and cotton, to the smallest seeds— 
and combines the advantages of sowing either broad 
cast or in drills. It is an excellent Broad Cast Sow- 
in" Machine, when the drill teeth and conducting 
tubes, (which are very conveniently detached,) are 
taken off. 
Many farmers soak their wheat in brine or other 
liquid, (in which the good seed sinks while the foul 
flouts off,) for the double purpose of separating it 
from foul seed and rolling it in lime, plaster or other 
fertilizing substances. This has the advantage over 
other drills, inasmuch as it performs well in sowing 
grain thus prepared, while they utterly fail in the at¬ 
tempt. Wet wheat, oats or white caps, which so 
readily clog other machines, are not serious obsta¬ 
cles in this. Those who wish to soak their seed for 
any purpose whatever, or mix with it any fine fer¬ 
tilizers, such as lime, plaster, bone dust, &c.,—and 
also those who prefer thrashing with a flail, to avoid 
the injury done to the seed by thrashing with a 
machine —will find THIS THE DRILL FOR 
THEM. 
When drilling with this machine, the grain falls 
from the grain-box to the tubes, (a space of six 
inches,) in full view of the person attending it — 
so that, in passing over the field, he may be con¬ 
stantly ASSURED that the seed is deposited as he de¬ 
signs. The teeth are all raised from the ground at 
once, with one lever; or one may be raised at a time. 
The convenience and simplicity with which this 
machine is managed is unparalleled. No necessary 
expense or pains have been spared in making it as 
desirable, in all respects, as possible, and after ?aa 7 ?y, 
and the most satisfactory e.vperiments — not in the 
winter on the floor of the machine shop merely, but 
in seeding time, with the fanner, under various cir¬ 
cumstances, on rough and smooth, hilly and level, 
stony and clear land — the inventor (who was bred 
a practical farmer, and ought to know something of 
the farmer’s wants,) feels assured that the machine 
is not only established on correct principles, but is 
got up in that simple and permanent style and good 
taste which cannot fail to suit all. 
The first premium, for a Grain Drill capable of de¬ 
positing fine manures with the grain, was awarded 
to this Machine at the Fair of the New Y'ork State 
Agricultural Society, held at Syracuse in Sept., 
1849. It also received the first premium at the 
Michigan State Fair, in 1849, and the first premium 
of the Ontario County Society. 
RECOMMENDATIONS. 
A few certificates, from the most reliable sources, 
are subjoined:— 
Mr. Seyrnour —Sir: With the Grain Drill wliich 
I purchased of you this season, my son, a lad 16 
years of age, has put in about 50 acres of wheat for 
me, and with some of it about a bushel and a half 
per acre of ashes and hen dung was mixed, and all 
to my entire satisfaction. He has also drilled in 
about 100 acres for others, and I believe all arc well 
pleased with the Machine, and I must say I prefer it 
to any I have seen. IRA R. PECK. 
East Bloomfield, Sept., 17, 1849. 
Mr. P. Seymov) —Dear Sir: Y'oii ask for my 
opinion with regard to the YVheat Drill I purchased 
of you this fall. YVithout specifying particulars, I 
w'ould express my unqualified approbation of it over 
that of any other which 1 have seen in use. I am 
somewhat enthusiastic on the subject of drilling — 
believing it will soon be universally adopted by far¬ 
mers. I would not willingly disparage the patents 
of other individuals. 
In haste, with great respect, yours, &lc., 
Gates, Sept. 10, 1849. CALVIN SPERRY', 
’['his may certify, that I have used Mr. Pierpont 
Seymour’s Wheat Drill, and I consider it just the 
thing for putting in wheat. YVM. OTIS. 
Rochester, Sept. 7, 1849. 
I have examined certian certificates in the hands 
of Mr. Seymour, in favor of his Grain Drill, one of 
them from Ira R. Peck. I am personally acquaint¬ 
ed with Mr. Peck. His statement can be fully re- j 
lied on. The other certificates, 1 have no doubt, i 
arc from equally reliable sources. I have myself 
heard the Drill spoken of in high terms of commen¬ 
dation, by farmers who had used it; and have also 
seen it in operation, and believe it to be at least one 
of the x'ery best in use. I was present at the State 
Fair, in September last, where the first premium 
was awarded to Mr. Seymour for his Drill. I have 
the confidence that any statement which Mr. Sey¬ 
mour would be likely to make in regard to the Drill 
would be strictly true. ISAAC W. MITCHELL. 
Justice of the Peace. 
East Bloomfield, Feb. 5, 1850. 
SEYMOUR’S GARDEN DRILL 
Is a small Machine of suitable size to be drawn by 
a man. It is got up on the principles of the Grain 
Drill, and will plant peas, beans, beets, and even 
carrots, or any kind of garden seeds, mixed with 
plaster, /kc. It is very convenient for large gar¬ 
deners, as it will sow five rows at once as readily as 
the Garden Drills in common use will sow one, and 
is much less liable to clog. 
SEYMOUR’S BROAD CAST SOWING MACHINE. 
This machine is well known in YV'estern New- 
Y’ork, nnd is universally acknowledged to be the 
best implement in our country, for the purposes for 
which it is intended. It sows correctly, all kinds 
of Grain, (and nay desired quantity per acre,) from 
peas to grass seed — including wheat, rye, oats, bar¬ 
ley, buckwheat, rice, hemp, flax, clover and tim¬ 
othy seed. Also plaster, lime, salt, ashes, bone 
dust, &c. &c. It is capable of dusting every inch 
of ground on an acre of land with less than half a 
bushel of plaster; nnd thirty or forty bushels of 
lime may be thus evenly applied to the same amount 
of land, if desired. It sows 10 feet wide. 
This machine has been much improved by sub¬ 
stituting iron in several important parts in the place 
of \%’ood, making it a very durable article. It has 
taken the first premium at five County and two State 
Agricultural Fairs. 
TESTIMONIALS. 
The following certificates show the public senti¬ 
ment in regard to this machine; 
YVe, the undersigned, being well acquainted with 
Seymour’s Broad-cast Sowing Machine, do .say it is 
well adapted to all the purposes for which it is de¬ 
signed, and it far exceeds all others of which we 
have any knowledge. 
DAVID C. BATES, Canandaigua, 
SAMUEL H. ANDREW’S, do. 
RUFUS HUMPHREY, Victor, 
DAVID CLARK, Seneca. 
This may certify, that I have used Seymour’s 
Sowing Machine, in sowing oats, barley, peas, 
clover and herds grass seed, and it operates to my 
utmost satisfaction. I sowed 30 bushels of oate, 8 
bushels of peas, and 20 bushels of barley in one 
day, and I think 30 acres a reasonable day’s work. 
J. II. GLASS, Avon, Liv. Co. 
Mr. Seymour —Dea;-Sir; The Sowing Machine 
I purchased of you in September last, fully answers 
the recommendations, and I think it among the best 
farming implements of which ourcountry can boost. 
J. HOLLOWAY, York, Liv. Co. 
Mr. Seymour —It gives me pleasure to state that 
I have used your Sowing Machine with much suc¬ 
cess. JABEZ GODDARD. York, Liv. Co. 
1 have used for two seasons past, P. Seymour's 
Sowing Machine for sowing grain and plaster. For 
sowing grain it is excellent on account of sowing so 
much more evenly than can be sowed by hand. In 
sowing plaster, it is invaluable on account of its sav¬ 
ing labor as well as avoiding the very disagreeable 
dust that arises from it.

modic Cholic in Horses, as well as his Applica¬ 
tion for Cuts, Broken Knees, Saddle and Harness
