Great Freshet on the Black River. —For 
the last two weeks Black River, swelled by the 
melting of snow at its head and upon its largest 
tributaries, has been unusually high, and on Tues¬ 
day, the 30th ult., the bulk-head at Mr. O’Dough- 
erty’s dam was torn out by the descending saw- 
logs. This allowed the water to dash against the 
building occupied by the Messrs. Wood as a sash 
and lath manufactory, owned by A. J. Peck, Esq., 
which soon fell into the stream, carrryiug with it 
considerable machinery. 
Messrs. Mizer’s tannery was the next to leave, 
carrying with it the pump and wagon factory of 
the Messrs. Wilson. The buildings scarcely 
touched the stream, before they were literally 
crushed into fragments. The bridge itself was 
the next to go, 
Mr. Harry Mann’s bulkhead is also gone.— 
Goulding was obliged to remove his e.xtensive 
machinery, since his rooms were flooded, and an 
entire demolition of his buildings threatened. Mr. 
H. W. Woodruff’s dam was torn up at an early 
part of the flood. 
Mr. Coburn’s boom, containing some 3,000 su¬ 
perior logs, gave way on Tuesday, and the mass 
was swept down the stream with great rapidity._ 
Augmented by such a destructive accession, the 
pressure soon burst Mr. O’Dougherty’s boom, and 
away went the whole mass, tearing out bulkheads 
and creating the devastation related above. The 
accumulated logs broke through one of the Dex¬ 
ter booms, and some 4,000 to 6,000 logs escaped 
into the lake. The water is now slowly reced¬ 
ing, and the danger is probably over. We think 
the whole amount of damage done at and near 
this village will not be less than $30,000.

Wheat is firm at $1 25, and some sales have been 
made within a day or two at a higher figure. We

TO FARMERS AND GARDENERS! 
SEYMOUR’S GRAIIV DRILL. 
^HIS DRILL, which was patented in Septem- 
rL^ii- latest improvements in 
Drilling Machines’ and better adapted to the wants 
01 the fanner than any other now before the public. 
It sovvs 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 
I*' excellent Broad Cast Sow- 
ing 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 
hquid, (in which the good seed sinks while the foul 
noats off, ) for the double purpose of separating it 
rolling it in lime, plaster or other 
.u ^'^bstences. This has the advantage over 
other drills, inasmuch as it performs well in sowing 
gram thus prepared, while they utterly fail in the aL 
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 
aLo 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 tho person attending it — 
so that, in passing over the field, ho 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. 
I'he 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 ma«y, 
and the most satisfactory experiments — 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 fanner’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 i 
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. S’eymo?/?- - Sir: With the Grain Drill which 
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 are well 
pleased with the Machine, and I must say I prefer it 
to any I have seen. BIA R. PECK. 
East Bloomfield, Sept., 17, 1849. 
Mr. P. Seymour —Dear Sir. Yon ask for my 
opinion with regard to tho Wheat Drill I purchased 
of you this fall. Without specifying particulars, I 
would express my umiualified approbation of it over 
that of 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. I would not willingly disparage the patents 
of other individuals. 
In haste, with groat respect, yours, (fcc., 
Gates, Sept. 10, 1849. CALVIN SPERRY. 
This may certify, that I have used 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 IraR. Peck. I am personally acquaint¬ 
ed with Mr. Peck. His statement can be fully re¬ 
lied on. The otlier certificates, I have no doubt, 
are from equally reliable sources. I have myself 
heard tho 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 
lair, in September lost, where the first premium 
was awarded to Mr. Seymour for his Drill. I have 
the confidence that any statement which Mr. <S'ey- 
mour would be likely to make in regard to the Drill

J This maiihineis well known m Western New- 
York, and is universally acknowledged to be the 
best miplement m our country, for the purposes for 
vvhmh it IS intended. It sows correctly, all kinds 
ol Grain, (and nay desired quantity per acre,) from 
peas to grass seed — inchuling wheat, rye, oats bar¬ 
ley, buckwheat, rice, hemp, flax, clover and tim¬ 
othy seed, Also plaster, lime, salt, ashes, bone 
i Oust, (fee. (fee. It IS capable of dusting every inch 
ol ground on an acre of land with less than half a 
bushel ol plaster; and tliirty or forty bushels of 
lime niay be thus evenly applied to the same amount 
ot iaiul, if desired. It sows 10 feet wide. 
This machine has been much improveij 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.

This may certify, that I liave used Seymour’s 
Sowing Machine, in sowing oats, barley, peas ' 
clover and herds grass seed, and it operates to my i 
utmost satisfaction. I sowed 30 bushels of oats 8 I 
bushels ol peas, and 20 bushels of barley in one I 
day, and 1 think 30 acro.s a reasonable day’s work, I

Mr. Seymour —It gives me pleasure to state that 
I imvo used your Sowing Machine with mucli vsuc- 
cess. JABEZ GODDARD, York, Liv. Co. 
I have used for two seasons past, F. Seymour’s 
Sovving Machine for sowing grain and plaster. For j 
sowing grain it is excellent on account of sowing so i 
much more evenly than can bo sowed by hand. In 
lS I sowing plaster, it is invaluable on account of its sav¬ 
ing labor as well as avoiding the very disagreeable 
dust that arises from it.
