REMARKS. 
April 2d. V ery line day; cluck-weed, witch-hazel, 
skunks-cabtiage, and red-maple in flower. Toads 
first heard, 
3d. Fine morning; Phoebe bird heard; also, peep¬ 
ing frogs. 
4th. Rainy day; field-sparrow heard. 
5th. A few flakes of snow. 
.6th. Fair day; splendid aurora borealis this eve¬ 
ning—the .streamers were numerous, accompanied 
with wave like motions of light which was so bright 
as to give the southern heavens a very dark hue. 
7th. Another fine day. Aurora borealis this eve. 
3th. Cold morning—continues cold through the 
day—very cold night. Northern Light, very faint. 
Death by Spontaneous Combustion. —The fol¬ 
lowing e.xtraordinary occurrence is related by the 
Gazette des Tribunaux: 
* “A few days ago, in a tavern near the Barriero 
de PEtoile, a journeyman painter, Xavier C-, 
well known for his intemperate habits, while drink¬ 
ing with some comrades, laid a wager that he 
would cat a lighted candle. His bet was taken, 
and scarcely had he introduced the flaming can¬ 
dle into his mouth when he uttered a slight cry, 
and fell powerless to the ground. A bluish flame 
was seen to flicker about his lips, and on an attempt 
being made to offer him assistance, the bystanders 
were horror-struck to find that he was burning in¬ 
ternally. At tlie end of half an hour, his head and 
the upper part of his chest were reduced to char¬ 
coal. Two medical men were called in and recog¬ 
nized that Xavier had fallen a victim to spontane¬ 
ous combustion. This conflagration of the human 
frame is frightfully rapid in its progress; bones, 
skin and muscles, are all devoured, consumed, and 
reduced to ashes. ‘A handful of dust on the spot 
where the victim fell is all that remains.” 
Curious Coincidence. —The body servant of 
Mr. Calhoun died on Sunday night—the evening 
of die same day his master died. So says the 
Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia En¬ 
quirer, but we have not seen the fact stated else¬ 
where.

A LB ANY MARKE T— April 8. 
The tows which arrived here this morning were 
well laden with merchandise for this city. Very 
little property has yet arrived here for the Wc8t,and 
the prospects are that up as well as down freights 
will be light for some time after the opening of the 
canal. 
Flour—There is a better demand for Flour to-day, 
principally however for the better grades, which are 
not plenty, and for wliich the market is firm. In¬ 
ferior qualities are dull. The sales are 500 bbls. at 
$5 12(®.5 25 for favorite State and good Michigan, 
$5 37(5)5 50^ for pure Genesee, $5 (72(5)5 75 for fancy 
State, $5 75(5)025 for extra brands. Included in 
the sales were 100 bbls. Tivoli at $6. 
Grain—The roads are bad and the street supply 
of grain is not equal to the home demand. Oats 
and Barley are being offered to arrive on the open¬ 
ing of the canal, but there are no speculative buy¬ 
ers in market. 
Seed—Ohio is 0i®7; State 7i(a)9|, as in quality; 
Timothy is $2 75(5)3 50. The sales of both small.

CHICAGO, April 4—The market is dull and we hear 
of no sales since yesterday. Prices, however, are firm at 
pievious quotations. We notice some shipments of wheat

which freight seems to have settled on Wheat.

THE CORN TRADE OF EUROPE. 
[From the London Shipping Gazette, Mar. 15.] 
Wednesday scarcely a bargain was closed, and this 
morning the transactions were altogethir insignificant, 
sellers declining to accept less money for the few parcels 
fresh up, and the millers paying previous rates with de¬ 
cided reluctance. A good many small lots of Wheat 
l ave come to hand from the near continental ports, con¬ 
sisting principally of new red of second.ary quality, 
A decline of Is was in partial cases submitted to on 
Monday, and more generajly on Wednesday and this 
morning. The recent fall in the price of town-manufac¬ 
tured flour has caused the bakers to buy rather more 
freely, and a tolerable extent of business has been done 
during the week at reduced rates. 
The supply of English Barley has more than kept pace 
with the demand, and only the finest sorts, fit for sowing, 
have commandi d for mer terms. The commoner descrip¬ 
tions were quoted at Is ^ qr lower on Monday than on 
that day se’nnight, and though this reduction has since 
been cheerfully submitted to, the sale of the article has 
been far more extensive. 
Foreign Barley has hung very heavily on hand, and the 
turn has certainly been In favor of the buyer; good Dan¬ 
ish on tlie spot has been offered at 18s to “JOs, and we 
have had offers free on board at Danish ports Us 3d to

SEYxROUR’S GRAIN DRILL. 
T his drill, which was patented in Septem¬ 
ber. 1849, is one of the latest improvements in 
Drilling Machines, and better 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 
pea.s, 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- 
ing Machine, when the drill teeth and conducting 
tubes, (which arc very conveniently detached,) are 
taken olf. 
Many farmers soak their wheat in brine or other 
liquid, (in which the good seed sinks while the foul 
floats ofl,) 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 
gram 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 
mac^une —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, and the seed all stooped at 
once; or one may be raised at a time, and the seed 
it discharges stopped. 
TJie 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 many, 
and the mont satisfactory experiments — not in the 
winter on the floor of the machine shop merely, but 
in seeding time, with the farmer, 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 York 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. Seymour — Sir: With the Grain Drill which 
I purchased of you thi.s season, my son, a lad 16 
years of age, has put in about 5(1 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 are well 
pleased with the Machine, and I must say I prefer it 
to any I have seen. HIA R. PECK. 
East Bloomfield, Sept., 17, 1849. 
Mr. P. Seymour — Dear Sir: Y"ou ask for my 
opinion with regard to the Wheat Drill I purchased 
of you this fall. Without specifying particulars, I 
would express my unqualified approbation of it over 
that ot any other which I have seen in use. I am 
somewhat enthusiastic on the subject of drilling — 
believing it will soon be universally adopted by far¬ 
mers. ■ 1 would not willingly disparage the patents 
of other individuals.

Tliiu mtiy certify, that I have u.sed Mr. Pierpont 
Seymour’s Wheat Drill, and 1 consider it just the 
thing for putting in wheat. WM. 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. PeUk. I am personally acquaint¬ 
ed with Mr. Peck. His statement can be fully re¬ 
lied on. The other certificates, I have no doubt, 
are 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 very 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 
I the confidence that any statement which Mr. Sey¬ 
mour would be likely to make in regard to the Drill 
would be strictly true. ISA.YC W. MITCHELL.

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, &(?. 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 Western New- 
York, and is universally acknowdedged 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 18 capable of dusting every inch 
of ground on an acre of land with less tlum half a 
bushel of plaster; and 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 wood, making it a very durable article. It has 
taken the first premium atfive County and two State 
Agricultural Fairs. 
TESTIMONIALS. 
The following certificates show the public senti¬ 
ment in regard to this machine: 
Wo, 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.

RUFUS HU.MPHREY, 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 oats, 8 
bushels of peas, and 20 bushels of barley in one 
day, and 1 think 30 acres a reasonable day’s 'work. 
J, H. GLASS, Avon, Liv. Co. 
Mr. Seymour —Dear Sir: The Sowing Vlachino 
I purchased of you in September last, fully answ'ers 
the recommendations, and I ihi-uk it among the best 
farmimr implements of w hich ourcouiUry ean boast. 
J. HOLLOW A V, York, LA. 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. 
I have used for two seasons past, P. Seymour’s 
Sow'ing 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.
