EXPLOSION OF THE STEAMBOAT 
WAYNE ON LABE ERIE. 
Cleveland, April 28—8 P. M. 
The Wayne left Toledo at 9 o’clock Saturday 
morning with about 25 passengers and took on 
some 40 more at Sandusky, Saturday night, leav¬ 
ing there at 10 o’clock. These and the crew 
made the number on board from 80 to 100. About 
half-past 12 Sunday morning, just below Ver- | 
million, some 8 miles from shore, the two star¬ 
board boilers exploded, throwing them into a 
perpendicular position, tearing away the steerage 
cabin above, and shattering the whole badly. It 
sunk in 15 minutes, going down headforemost.— 
The yawl was launched and 12 persons reached 
shore in it. The life-boat half filled in launching 
and leaked badly, but 6 persons got ashore in her 
after six hours’ exertions, by bailing constantly. 
Captain Gore. James Edgecomb, Istmate, and 
Mr. Vorce, clerk, are saved. Mr. J. Ellore, 1st 
and Mr. Edward Beecher, 2d Engineer, are lost. 
Mr. D. A. Eddy, of Cleveland, was on board, and 
was seen after the explosion, but whether he was 
saved is not known. 
The state-room of the Captain, next to the 
steerage cabin, was blown to pieces and his bed 
blown up-side down, but he was unhurt. 
When the Wayne went down, she was on fire, 
and the flames were just bursting out. 
The cause of the explosion wo cannot state.— 
The boilers were only one year old and in good 
condition. The fireman who escaped says that 
just before the accident he tried the boilers, and 
ihere was plenty of water in them. 
The hurricane deck was supposed to have 
floated, and was thought to have been seen from 
the shore this morning. 
Two small vessels went out from Vermillion to 
pick up any of the survivors. 
Our citizens will wait with painful anxiety for 
further particulars of the fate of Mr. Eddy, one 
of their esteemed townsmen. 
Monday, 9 A. M.—One of the vessels which 
went out, took off the hurricane deck some 30 
persons, six dead. D. A. Eddy is saved, and has 
telegraphed from Sandusky. 
New York, April 29—3 P. M.—The building 
adjoining Barnum’s Museum, Broadway, former¬ 
ly occupied by the Chemical Bank, fell in this 
morning, and buried several persons beneath the 
ruins. One man has since been taken out dead. 
A portion of the bonded warehouse also fell in 
this morning, and buried ten or twelve workmen, 
who were engaged in removing the rubbish from 
the Water-st. fire. It is not yet known how many 
have been killed.

THE MARKETS. 
Rural New-Yorker Office, ? 
Rochester, May 1, 1850. ) 
The opening of navigation, together with pleas¬ 
ant weather during most of the past week, has had 
a favorable tendency upon our market. Wheat 
and flour are firm, and we anticipate an advance up¬ 
on present quotations, in consequence of the small 
amount held at the west. The quantity of produce 
passing east on the canal is less than was expected.

livered on contracts. In other grains we could fearn

IMPROVED RAILWAY CHAIN HORSEPOWER 
<fe OVERSHOT THRESHER & SEPARATOR. 
T he Subscribers, Proprietors of the Patent for 
these Machines, and manufacturers of them, 
having recently increased their facilities for manu- 
factunng, 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, Oluo, 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 sea-son. 
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 oate per day. The 
one horse or single machines thresh rather more 
than half as fast as the doubje 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 horse alone affords sufficient 
power 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 the 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, as it comes flora 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 where 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, ready to 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 manufacture 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 be 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. 
The manufacturers are now establishing agencies 
in all parts of the United States and Canadas, where 
they are needed to facilitate 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 definitely ascertained are—

modic Cholic in Horses, as well as his Applica¬ 
tion for Cuts, Broken Knees, Saddle and Harness 
Galls, and all abrasions of the skin, to a discerning 
public, is not so ignorant himself, nor does he 
suppose those purchasing his medicines, so devoid o 
discrimination as to believe him, were he to boast 
they possessed the many curative properties assign¬ 
ed to all the nostrums now for sale and issuing from 
the laboratories of men, not even pretending to a 
knowledge of the anatomy or physiology of the 
Horse ; but solely advances his Medicines as alone 
applicable to the disease, wounds, and abcesses, 
specified in the directions for use, accompanying 
each bottle, and for which, when used as directed, 
he stakes his professional character will prove an in- 
fallable remedy and unerring cure.

and Application, which can be procured (for the 
present,) at my office here, and at agents in town 
and country, to be named hereafter.

have acquired a wide and better reputation in 
a shorter period, than any other in the world. I

it not only merits its unparalleled clebrity, but is 
warranted the most economical and perfect COOK- 
STOVE in use — to the truth of wWch, I can fur¬ 
nish hundreds of testimonials.
