New York, April 15, 3 P. M. 
The Herald’s correspondent at Washington, 
states that the Cabinet have been engaged, for 
several months past, in endeavoring to effect the 
annexation of St. Domingo to this country, and 
that two steamers and Mr. Benjamin Green, have 
been sent out to furtlier the project. The latter 
is soon expected back, and the Cabinet are in 
hopes of success. (Cr Fudge! 
Washington. April 15.— FIouse. —The Speak¬ 
er said he had been deputed to inform the House 
of the decease of the late Clerk, which took place 
since the adjournment on Friday last. He might 
be permitted to accompany the melancholy an¬ 
nouncement with the single remark, that since his 
official association with him, the deceased faith¬ 
fully discharged all the duties of his office, so far 
as they come under his observation. 
Mr. Gentry said—This is the first time since 
the beginning of Government that the Clerk of 
the House has died since Congress was in ses¬ 
sion, and there was no precedent to guide them 
as to the course of proceedings. The officer, whose 
death has been announcod, discharged his duties 
with fidelity, as testified by the Speaker. In Ten¬ 
nessee, his native State, the deceased always 
commanded the love and confidence of a very 
large circle of friends, and received many distin¬ 
guished marks of popular confidence ane esteem, 
and he was repeatedly a Clerk of the House of 
Tennessee and membor of Congress. He was 
elected for the last to this Congress. 
The late Clerk and his Successor. 
Mr. Campbell’s remains, accompanied by his 
son and the Hon. Josiah Anderson, of Tenn., left 
Washington yesterday morning, by the Southern 
boat, for Knoxville. His funeral sermon was 
preached in the House by the Chaplain. His 
death will be announced to-day, and on Tuesday 
an election for his successor will take place. The 
present reading Clerk is Mr. Joseph C. Walker. 
Albert Smith, of Maine, Forney, St. Clair Clark, 
Gen. Walbridgeand others are mentioned as can¬ 
didates. 
Mr. Calhouu’s Successor. 
Mr. Franklin H. Elmore, has accepted the ap¬ 
pointment tendered him by the Governor of South 
Carolina, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the 
death of Hon. J. C. Calhoun. 
The Nicaragua Treaty. 
The Tribune says: The Nicaragua Treaty has 
been completed, its stipulations ail agreed upon, 
and it has been copied, ready for signatures. It 
will be signed in the beginning of this week, when 
it will be at once transmitted to the Senate of the 
United States for its ratification. There has been 
but very little modification from the terms propo¬ 
sed in Mr. Clayton’s letter to Mr. Bulwer. 
O’ At Montgomery, Ala., on the 27th, they 
had snow and frost in great abundance. Much 
damage was done to the cotton. 
Letters from other parts of the State, represent 
every thing in the shape of corn, cotton, fruit, 
&c., as dead. Every body was plowing up and 
planting over. Much of the cotton was already 
up, and a greater portion of the seed remaining in 
the ground was germinated and consequently- 
killed. _ 
New Orleans, April 13.—Incendiary fires in 
our city are on the increase, and during the week 
some fifteen have occurred, destroying a large 
amount of property. Heavy rewards have been 
offered for the detection of the incendiaries. 
The steamship OH> has sailed for New York 
and the Alabama for Chagres. 
O’ From all parts of Louisiana wo hear of hea¬ 
vy frosts, and consequent serious damage to the 
corn crop.

DIED, 
In this city, on the evening of the 10th of April, Mr. 
HAMLET SCRANTOM, Senior, aged 77 years, 4 months 
and 10 days. 
The deceased is the father of four brothers of that name 
now residing in this city, and of Mrs. Martin Briggs. He 
was one of the oldest citizens of the place, having brought 
iinily to the *■ Genesee Falls'’ in May 1812. In Au- 
g"’ ' .^f the same year he moved into a log house which he 
had erected upon the lot now occupied by the Eagle Ho¬ 
tel, and at that time his was the only family on the west 
side of the river. The grounds here were then in tlieir 
nalivp stale} so much so that in the Fall of that year, 
having previously found a tree of wild bees near his log 
hut, he cut it down to obtain the honey, and it feil into 
State street! 
Mr. Scrantoni was a man of good mind, but very retir¬ 
ing and unobtrusive in his manners. lie was the first 
practical miller in the place, and for many years was en¬ 
gaged for Messrs. Bissell &. Ely, and F.ancls and Matthew 
Brown-, he was correct in all his dealings, and faithful to 
a fault with all interests committed to his charge. He 
waslong connected with St. Luke’s church, and his life 
has been so generally cheerful, his temper so even, and 
his self-sacrifice to the good of others so constant, that 
most who knew him, have said of him, what rarely can 
wttli truth be said of a man In this sin-stricken world 
namely, that lie had not an enemy. The deceased was a 
native of Durham, Conn., and his father was an officer 
in the army of the Revolution. He was ardently attach¬ 
ed !o his country, and was ever watching her advance, 
and comparing her present condition with early darkness 
and troubles. His deatli makes a great void in a large 
and long unbroken circle, but Ills memory, among all bis 
descendents will be sweet, for “the memory of the just is 
blessed.” Com. 
In Mt. Morris, on the 6lh inst. HENRY C., son of Hugh

WHEELER’S PATENT 
IMPROVED RAILWAY CHAIN HORSE POWER 
A OVERSHOT THRESHER & SEPARATOR. 
T he Subscribers, Proprietors of tho Patent for 
these Machines, and manufacturers of them, 
having recently increased their facilities for manu¬ 
facturing, are now prepared to fill orders for ma¬ 
chines, and to establish and supply agencies, to any 
extent that may be desired. 
These machines are favorably known wherever 
they have been used or exhibited. They have ta¬ 
ken premiums at many different State and County 
Fairs held in Massachusetts, New York, New Jer¬ 
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and also in Canada, never 
having competed for premiums without success and 
flattenng commendations. 
As many as 2,000 of them are now in use, of 
which over 500 were sold the past season. 
The accompanying cut gives a view of a two 
horse machine at work, with the hands necessary to 
attend it. It will thresh from 125 to 200 bushels of 
wheat, or twice the quantity of oats per day. The 
one horse or single machines thresh rather more 
than half as fast as the double ones. 
These horse powers are strong and durable, and 
run extremely light. With one end of the power 
slightly elevated (as represented in the annexed 
cut) the weight of the hor^e alone affords sufficient 
pow-er to thresh at the rate before stated, or to drive 
circular and upright saws, or any other machines 
used by farmers requiring propelling power. 
THE OVERSHOT THRESHER 
takes the grain from a level feeding table or apron, 
(of a proper height to allow the feeder to stand 
erect and feed without annoyance from dust,) and 
passes it through a toothed or spiked concave or 
bed, placed over the cylinder. A recent improve¬ 
ment admits of lowering the concave so as to bring 
it nearer the cylinder, and at the same time so va¬ 
rying the inclination of the spikes as to set tho ma¬ 
chine for threshing tough or damp grain, or short 
oats, and re-setting it at pleasure, for long rye or 
wheat, or oats in good order, or for timothy grass or 
clover and all this is accomplished without stopping 
the machine, so simple is the process. By means 
of the Separator the straw, ns it comes ftom the 
Thresher is effectually separated from the grain. 
The Power Thresher and Separator, complete, for 
either one or two horses, is easily loaded on a com¬ 
mon farm wagon; but w'herc frequent moving is de¬ 
sired, the two horse machines are placed on wheels 
in such a manner that when used for threshing, the 
forward wheels are removed, dropping that end of 
the power, and leaving the opposite end elevated on 
the other axle, readyto receive the horses. By this 
arrangement, (which has been made for the conven¬ 
ience of those who make threshing a business and 
for partnership machines) two men can with ease 
set a two horse machine ready for work in 15 min¬ 
utes, and reload it for moving in the same time. 
W., M. &. Co., also manufiicture Stalk, Hay and 
Straw Cutters, to be used with their horse powers; 
and also Circular Saws and Benches, for cutting 
ordinary firewood, and locomotive and other fuel. 
Every machine made or sold by W., M. & Co., 
or their Agents, is warranted to work to the sat¬ 
isfaction of the purchaser, or it may bo returned to 
them, or to the Agent of whom it may have been 
purchased, within sixty days, and the purchase mo- 
ney> [if paid,] will be refunded. 
These machines are so light, compact, and easily 
handled as to admit of transportation to any part of 
the country with trifling expense. The weight of 
the two horse machine, complete, being less than 
2,000 pounds, and of the one horse, about 1,200. 
Tlie manufacturers are now establishing agencies 
in all parts of the United States and Canadas, where 
they are needed to facilittite the sale of these ma¬ 
chines. Good agents are wanted in the southern 
and western States and the Canadas, to whom lib¬ 
eral commissions will be allowed. Our Agents as 
far as definately ascertained are—

TUe bang-up air-tight Cooking Stove, 
A t AMSDEN’.S, is conceded on all hands to 
have acquired a wide and better reputation in 
a shorter period, than any other in the world. I 
wish it distinctly understood and remembered, that 
it not only merits its unparalleled clebrity, but is 
warranted the most economical and perfect COOK- 
STOVE in use — to the truth of which, 1 can fur¬ 
nish hundreds of testimonials. 
I have recently added to my supply two hundred 
and fifty, in hopes to be able in future to meet the 
rapidly increasing demand. They are of various 
sizes — the largest suitable for Hotels and Boarding 
Houses. ' A. K. AMSDEN,
