MOOEE’S KURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY JOURNAL. 
TERRIBLE STORM—DAMAGE TO THE CANAL 
AND RAILROAD. 
From the Albany Evening Journal. 
We were visited last evening by the most terrific 
storm we ever witnessed. As early asfive o’clock 
dense clouds emitted frequent flashes of lightning. 
But they passed to the north of us, and it seem¬ 
ed probable, for a time, that we should escape 
the threatened storm altogether. 
But soon after 7 o’clock, it became evident 
that we were not to escape. The lightnings flashed 
with terrible vividness, the thunders rolled almost 
unceasingly, while the wind blew a.tempest.— 
The rain, however, did not begin to fall until 
about 8 o’clock, when it came dewn in torrents. 
All the streets were instantly flooded; and as the 
waters rushed from the hill, amid the almost con- 
stan flashes of lightning and crashing of thunder 
the tumult was fearful beyond description. 
The storm raged with apparently increasing 
fury until after 11 o’clock, when it passed olT in a 
southeasterly direction. During these three 
hours, rain fell, according to the gauge, within a 
fraction of three inches! 
The progress of this storm was fearfully sub¬ 
lime The heavens seemed, during the whole 
period, a vast sheet of flame. There was scarce¬ 
ly a moment during which the vivid flashes were 
not visible, rendering surrounding objects as pal¬ 
pable as at mid-day. 
During the height of the storm, an alarm of 
fire was raised. It appeared to be from a building 
back of Bath. We learn this morning that a barn 
belonging to Stephen Sharp, near Snyder’s Lake, 
in Greenbush, about six miles from the city, was 
struck by* lightning, and consumed with a large 
quantity of hay which it contained. This was the 
fire which caused the alarm. 
We have heard of no accidents in the city, ex¬ 
cept that two vessels were struck; one the schoon¬ 
er Rockaway, of Rockaway, lying alongside the 
Pier by the Columbia street bridge. She was la- 
dened with lumber for Richmond, Va. Her masts 
were shivered, and she is now being unladen 
for the purpose of repairs. The crew were at 
supper at the time of the accident, but were un¬ 
injured. 
The other was the James K. Polk, lying at the 
new dock near the North Ferry. She was also 
ladened with lumber. Her masts were shivered 
but not so as to disable her. She leaves to-day 
for New York. 
We hear of great damage by the floods caused 
by the immense quantity of rain that fell. In the 
city, the pavements, of the hill streets are torn up 
in various directions. The largest breach is in 
Lydius st, below Broad. Some 80 feet of pave¬ 
ment is torn up. The cellars in nearly all direc¬ 
tions, below Pearl st, were filled; but the mischief 
is not as serious as was apprehended. 
The streams in all directions were overflowed. 
Those running from the North into the Hudson, 
rushed down the hills with great impetuosity. A 
number of small bridges are said to be carried 
away, and a good many fields of grain seriously 
damaged by tlie rush of the waters from overflow¬ 
ed streams. The crops on the farm of Gideon 
Butts, on the Saudlake road, are nearly all des¬ 
troyed. 
The streams running through the Cemetery 
were filled, and the dams of the several small 
Lakes were swept away. The grounds, in vari¬ 
ous directions, are also badly cut up, and several 
bridges, trees, &c. carried away. 
The Railroad, West, has been disturbed; and 
there is a rumor of a serious accident. No train 
has been able to reach the City this morning, and 
all we know of what has happened, is derived 
from a young gentleman who worked his way 
through from F’onda this morning, by hand car, 
on foot, &c. 
It seems that a bridge (Schenck’s) a few miles 
east of Spraker’s, was carried away; and when 
the train, which left her at o’clock last eve¬ 
ning, reached it, the Engine was precipitated into 
the stream, and the whole train thrown into un- 
otterable confusion. 
Immediately after the accident happened, and 
without waiting to learn the extent of the damage 
a man d\arted off, on foot, to Fonda, a distance of 
six miles. The turnpike was flooded, at some 
points to the depth of his arm-pits. It took him 
three hours to make the six miles. He reported 
that it was feared that the Engineer and Fire¬ 
man were killed, and several passengers badly 
though not fatally injured. As the telegraph is 
down, we are unable to obtain further particulars. 
It is possible that a train may bo in before we go 
to press. 
In coming up the river last night, the Mazeppa 
had her awning frame work carried away, and 
reports a schooner ashore on Barren Island, with 
her foremast and bowsprit carried away. 
It will be seen by the following that the Canal 
through the Mohawk Valley has suffered severe¬ 
ly:— 
. Saturday Morning. 
Messrs. Weku & Dawson —Gents:—I have 
this moment received an express bringing intelli¬ 
gence of the most serious damage and disaster to 
the Canal from the storm last night. One break, 
250 feet in length, carrying the bank away 12 feet 
below Canal bottom, near Fort Jackson. Anoth¬ 
er break at the head of Lock No. 27 ; and still 
another on the 7 mile level. The water is so high 
it is impossible to ascertain the extent of the mis¬ 
fortune. I go up the line immediately, and will 
advise you when I learn from inspection more of 
the particulars. Truly yours, 
J. T. GOODSELL, Resident Engineer. 
Fiirtlier Particulars—Loss of lilfe. 
2 o’clock. —We have just conversed with Mr. 
Cioyes, the baggage man on the train which left 
this city for the West last evening. He says the 
bridge at Schenck’s was standing as the train ap¬ 
proached, and the engineer saw it But the em¬ 
bankment was washed away, carrying off the 
abutments; and the moment the engine touched 
the bridge it gave way. 
The engine was precipitated into the stream, 
the tender, a freight car, and the baggage car, 
lodged on top of the engine. The three passen¬ 
ger cars did not go into the stream, but were bad¬ 
ly broken. In the freight car, there were eight 
persons, a horse and a corpse. They were labor¬ 
ers on the road, with the exception of one wo¬ 
man. Only four of the eight are to be found.— 
One dead body has been recovered. Two others 
(including the woman) are supposed to have been 
carried off bv the rushing torrent. Neither the 
Engineer nor F.remen were injured. The Lo¬ 
comotive was broken to pieces. 
Mr. Cioyes was in the baggage car; and al¬ 
though it was shivered to atoms, he escaped with 
a few slight bruises. 
All the mails which left in the train last even¬ 
ing (except that for Buffalo) have been brought 
back to this city, saturated. The Buffalo Mail 
was swept down the Mohawk, and has not yet 
been recovered. 
The Western train which was due here this 
morning, was precipitated into a branch of the 
East Canadian Creek, the culvert having been 
Bsvept away. One passenger was killed. He 
was sitting in the middle Car. Four or five other 
passengers were badly hurt, and fourteen or fif¬ 
teen slightly. 
LATEST NEWS —BY TELEGRAPH. 
Arrival of the Philadelphia, 
THREE MILLIONS IN GOLD! 
New York, July 8, 8 A. M. 
The Philadelphia arrived last night from Cha- 
gres with dates from San Francisco to June Ist. 
She brought over $2,000,000 in gold dust, be¬ 
sides $500,000 in the hands of passengers. 
The Oregon took down to Panama $3,000,000. 
The Passport System has been abolished. 
Brooklyn, June 8. 
A fire occurred here yesterday, consuming 
Thorn’s six story building, filled with valuable 
goods. A terrific explosion of saltpetre took place. 
Loss about $1,000,000. 
[rr* The fire in Brooklyn has been the most dis¬ 
astrous that has happened foi some time. The 
loss in Thorn’s store alone is estimated at $800,- 
000, and in the various stores around at $100,000. 
Insurances are not yet ascertained. The build¬ 
ings faced the water, and the vessels were obliged 
to be unmoored and drifted into the river. A 
brig took fire, but was not much injured. The 
explosions which took place from salt petre and 
other combustible matter, were very alarming. 
The Georgia is in with the California mails, 
but her dates are the same as those by the Phila¬ 
delphia. 
Cincinnati, July 7. 
The report furnished to the City Clerk under 
the orders of the past week up to Saturday after¬ 
noon, shows that the total number of deaths is 
187, of which 118 were from cholera. Reports 
were not as full as they should have been. 
Second Dispatch. —The Board of Health met 
this afternoon, and report 93 deaths during the 
past 24 hours, of which 65 were from cholera. 
A severe fire is now raging in Peter Wright & 
Son’s China Ware House, Market street, above 
Fifth. Much damage is threatened. 
Boston, July 8—7 P. M. 
A hearing was had before the Committee on 
Pardons this afternoon in the Webster case. A 
petition for clemency, signed by 984 persons of 
New York city, 2 from Franklin co., N. Y., and 
one from Michigan, were presented. 
The Lt. Gov. stated that a large number of pe¬ 
titions for commutation had been received from 
all quarters; one from Mr. Green, a juryman in 
the case, and two or three others who said they 
themselves committed the murder and not Prof. 
Webster. Several medical men showed that 
blows on the head such as that which Prof. W. 
said he gave Dr. Parkman, often caused death in 
a short period. 
Mr. Edwin Jarvis named two instances toshow 
the ungovernable temper of Prof. W., and how 
soon it was over. In one casa, Dr. W., when a 
student, commenced the play of knocking off 
hats with another student, in which he finally got 
enraged, seized a stick and would have given a 
deadly blow had iie not been prevented. He 
showed no resentment the next day. 
At another time, in London, Prof. W. was be¬ 
ing shaved, when Dr. Blackford playfully remark¬ 
ed, "Did you ever see a barber shave a monkey?’’ 
Webster was much enraged, seized a knife, and 
would have struck at Dr. B. had he not been pre¬ 
vented. 
Dr. Jefferson Wyman was introduced to show 
that Dr. Parkman was a little thinner than the 
average. 
A petition was presented, signed by President 
Sparks and by nearly all the Professors of Har¬ 
vard, but noton the ground of his confession ; he, 
they say, had forfeited all claims to belief, but on 
the great probability that exists that the act was 
not premeditated, and Prof. Bower urged a delay 
to obtain more petitions, and. a final decision in 
the case was postponed until the 18th inst. 
Later from Cuba. 
The Georgia left Havana on the 4lh. She 
brings a large California mail. 
The Count Alcoy gives every assurance that 
the prisoners will be released and harmony re¬ 
stored. 
The prisoners are under the control of Admiral 
Armero, who does not speak of them so favora¬ 
bly. A report was circulated previous to the sail¬ 
ing of the Georgia, that nine of them had died of 
ill treatment. 
Great excitement prevails against the Ameri¬ 
cans generally, especially since the news of the 
burning of the Guadalquiver arrived at Havana. 
The American Consul keeps himself fortified 
for fear of threatened attack. 
The Railroad Accident. —We learn that our 
fellow townsmen. Dr. Kelsey, Philip Kirley, A. 
Y. T. Leavitt, and Miss Osborn, were in the cars 
at the time of the accident on Friday night. For¬ 
tunately they all escaped uninjured. 
Mr. Kirley was returning to this city with the 
corpse of his daughter Catharine, who died at St. 
Albans, Vt., of a bilious disease, at the age of 11 
years 11 months. That part of the car where the 
corpse was placed was uninjured, although the 
rest of it was completely smashed to pieces. The 
heavy rains had brought down so many trees that 
the bridge was dammed up, and the water made 
a new course by washing away the track. 
A woman and child were carried off by the 
swollen creek, and could not be found. One man 
also was swept away, but struck against the top 
of a tree, which he stayed upon till morning. 
After the occurrence of the accident, the pas¬ 
sengers all got out, and pushed the cars for two 
or three miles until they came to a house. 
Dr. Kelsey informs us that a Mr. Squires, a 
lumber merchant of Dansville, was on board, and 
uninjured at the time of the accident, but was 
missing afterwards. There were several pieces 
of baggage unclaimed, but as some passengers 
refused to receive their baggage in consequence 
of the damage done to it, it is impossible to draw 
any conclusion from that circumstance.—[Adv 
Important FROM Havana. —New Orleans, July 
1.—The British steamer arrived at Mobile yester¬ 
day, with dates from Havana to the 27th ultimo. 
The Contoy prisoners are still closely confined, 
and the Consul is not allowed to communicate 
with them. Gen. Campbell’s correspondence with 
Mr. Clayton has embittered the Spaniards against 
him, who, it is said openly threaten to assassinate 
him. The "Germantowr." is at anchor in the. 
harbor, ready to receive him in the event of his 
leaving the city. 
Havana is still in a state of seige. Cholera has 
almost disappeared. Edmund Doyle, an American 
merchant at Cardenas, has been imprisoned on 
some frivolous charge. 
Mr. Giraud, of New Orleans, merchant, has 
been released and returned home to-day. 
The Falcon sailed for Havana and Chagres 
with 140 passengers on board. Twenty-six Span¬ 
ish deserters from Cardenas have arrived from 
Key West.

To Fanners & Produce Dealers. 
W E have now retidy a new and valuable book for every 
Fanner and Produce Dealer, called “Scribner’s 
Produce Tables,’’ cxiiibiung at one view the value of more 
than sixteen thousand different quantities of Grain, com¬ 
puted at sixty pounds to tlie bushel, so arranged as to pre- 
sent on the same page the value of the whole number of 
bushels and pounds, at the same price. 
The object of this book is to enable farmers, produce 
dealers, mechanics, and traders of all cl.isses, to see atone 
glance, tlie price of Grain and Produce, but it is so arrang¬ 
ed in dollars and cents, that the price of any articles liav- 
ing to be measured or weighed can be readily found, there¬ 
by saving time and warranting accuracy, wliich from h.isty 
calculations often happens. 
Mr. Scribner’s former books have attained a reputation 
for correctness and .tccuracy, and become so [lopular 
wherever known, ns to need no recommendations, and this 
one will recommend itself to every one interested as soon 
as seen. 
The price of the book i.s twenty-five cents at retail, 
which is cheaper than any Produce Reckoner now pub¬ 
lished, and so low that every person can possess a copy.—

VV to the fact that we have the exclusive agency and 
the exclusiv*sale of the above named Reaper, in all that 
part of the state of New York west of (Jiitairo county, 
and are also general agents for the United States ana 
Canada. Wo sell the Reapers at tlie Manufacturers’

examined at our store. All who design purchasing are 
earnestly requested to hand in thrir orders at once, as 
tills will enable us to have on hand in season all iliat may 
be required, apd prevent a.iy beiu < disappointed, as might 
be the case if orders were delayed till the harvest had be¬ 
gun. They are the best Reapers made, and tliat it would 
he greatly to the advantage of tanners to have them, 
there is no doubt.

Messrs. Rapalje & Briggs—Gents :—’t'lie Reaping Ma¬ 
chine I bought of you, made by Messrs. Eldred &. Hus¬ 
sey, at Auuurn, has been thoroughly tested by tne the 
present harvest, and 1 am happy to say h.as e.xceeded my 
most sanguine eXpect.aiions. I have cut witli it 125 
acres of wheat, besides my own crop, making some 2t)0 
acres of wheat and oats; and I c.in coufidenlly reconi- 
inend it to iny brother farmers as Just the machine they 
want. I have cin 12 acres of oats in half a day, and 29 
•Tores of stout wheal in one day, witli three horses abreast, 
and most of it was bad cuuing. I think 1 can cut 25 
acres of good wheal in a day, and do it belter than can 
be done m any other way. My machine is now in per- 
fectorder, and I consider it full as good as when I got it 
of you. Yours, most respectfully.

Wheatland, Augusl20th, 1849. 
Messrs. Eldied & Hussey—Gents :—I have now used 
one of your Reaping Machines for two years, and do most 
cheerfully say that It has given the best satisl'acilon. I 
hive cut my wltolt; harvest, and a large one too, with ray 
ordinary farm hands. I have cut 21) .acres of s'out wheat 
a day witli e.a»e, and 1 would most cheerfully recommend 
it to my brother farmers as the best and most economical 
machine that is used on a farm. In fact 1 think so much 
of it. that liveliundred dollars would not induce me to 
part with it, if I could not get another. I have .also two 
broiliers, each of whom have one of your machines, whicli 
tliey like very much, and could not htTiiiduced to be with¬ 
out. I think your agents, Messrs. Rapalje &. Briggs, will 
sell a large number of them in our county, next se.ason, as 
many of my acquaintances have told me they intend to 
purchased one of your Reapers another season.

Beroen, September 1st, 1819. 
This is to certify that I liave this season used one of 
Hussey’s Reaping .Macliines, which 1 purchased of Messrs 
Rapalje & Briggs, of Rochester, and that it gives perfect 
satisfaction. I 1 ave cut my wheat, which was very b.ad- 
ly lodged, much fa.ster, better and cheaper than it cculd 
be done any other way. 1 have had one of McGormick’s 
for the last three years, and it now stands in the road as a

I WOULD respectfully cull the attention of my 
friends to this stove, as the best and most ap¬ 
proved COOKING STOVE everoft’eredto the pub¬ 
lic. It is acknowledged by all to have the largest 
oven, to bake better with less fuel, to have superi¬ 
or advantages for broiling, and to be the most eco¬ 
nomical and perfect, in all other respects, to any 
other stove now in nse. 
My arrangements are such that I hope to have a 
constant .supply, and my friends and customers can 
at all times be accommodated with them, at rea¬ 
sonable price*.

NEW SEED DRILL AND BROAD-CART SOWER. 
T he Subscribers arc making and vending J. W. 
SHERMAN’S NEW SEED DRILL and 
DROAD-CAST SOWER, got up this Spring, and 
constructed upon a new principle ; cheaper, sim¬ 
pler, and more duuahle and accurate, than any 
similar machine now in use. 
We are building three different qualities of these 
machines. No. 1, is a superior Drill and Broad-Cast 
Sower, and will sow fine manure (such as plaster, 
ashes, Guano, &.c.,) broad-cast, or in the drill rows, 
any desirable quantity per acre, at the same time of 
drilling in the grain. It is well finished, substanti¬ 
ally made, of good material, and warranted —.at the 
low price of Sixty-Five Dollars. 
No. 2, is built for drilling all kinds of grain. It 
will also sow fine manure, broad-cast, oii crops.— 
Price $55. 
No. 3, is a plain Wheat Drill: simple, accurate, 
substantial. Price $45. None of onr machines will 
clog in the runs; they c.annot do so with the most 
difficult kind of seed; the DlSTRlBU'l’lNG PRIN¬ 
CIPLE being not only entirety new bnt certain in its 
operation. 
We are prepared to supply all orders. Those 
wishing to purchase drills, would do well to see ours 
before purchasing elsewhere. 'I’he sooner the order 
is given, the more sure you will be of getting your 
drill in time. QU’ Each machine has 7 drill tubes, 
N. B.—Persons wishing to make or sell ouj- drills, 
are offered a good chance. All communications or 
inquiries [post paid] will receive prompt attention

Pure White Lead. 
T he ROCHESTER WHITE LEAD MANU¬ 
FACTURING COMPANY beg .to offer their 
brands of pure lead to the attention of agricul¬ 
turists and horticulturists for painting permanent 
structures of every description. 
This article has been thoroughly tested by the 
best judges in this city and pronounced a genuine 
article. Persons desiring to test the purity of the 
lead, may have it analyzed by a chemist, and if in 
any case it should be found impure, we will pay the 
price of analyzing it and refund tlie money for the 
lead. 
Be particular about the brand; "Moulson’s, 36 
Front street, Rochester,” is marked on every keg. 
Purchasers of lead have occasionally been deceived 
in buying lead brttnded as Rochester lead. Mark, 
we are the only manufacturers of lead here.' There is 
however a large quantity of lead “fixed over" here. 
Nevertheless, we wish our lead not to be confound¬ 
ed with that or any other, and therefore desire all 
consumers to give us a trial.
