Boston, Aug. 5ih.—Capt. Herring of the barque 
J. W. Blodgett, from St. Martins July 19ih, re¬ 
ports a terrible hurricane there, and at the adjoin¬ 
ing islands on the lllh and 12th of July. It com¬ 
menced at 2 o’clock P. M., on the 11th, blowing 
with great fury from the north, causing the inhab¬ 
itants to fly for refuge to places promising the 
greatest security from the elements. It rained 
until midnight, when it ceased for an hour, and 
all nature seemed profoundly silent. It then re¬ 
commenced from the southwest and continued 
until 5 o’clock in the morning, when the ruins of 
a number of buildings were found strown in eve¬ 
ry direction. 
All the shipping in the harbor suffered severe¬ 
ly. The ship Andover, while lying outside the 
western part of the harbor, discharging ballast, 
dragged her anchor two miles or more in the first 
part of the storm. After the change she dragged 
at the rate of 3 miles an hour, and her masts were 
cut away to prevent her going ashore. 
Barque Franklin from Portland, dragged her 
four anchors and beat over the bar when her masts 
were cut away. At the change she brought up 
on shore, striking the bottom. Several English 
vessels were wrecked. 
The inhabitants sustained considerable loss. It 
is supposed no salt can be made in four or five 
years. The depth of water in the salt ponds is 
nine feet, by reason of the rains Former depth 
14 inches. 
New York —7 P. M. 
I'erriblc Disaster. 
About half past one this P. M. the rear of the 
large five story brick store occupied by Messrs. 
Ployt Co., Curriers, 46 Spruce-st., tumbled to 
the earth with a tremendous crash, burying in the 
ruins some 15 persons, workmen, in the employ 
of the Messrs. Hoyt. 
It was known that many were alive under the 
ruins, from the cries of agony that issued from va¬ 
rious quarters of the weighty mass. 
Up to this writing no persons have been extri¬ 
cated. The reporter has not yet been able to as¬ 
certain their names. Nobody on the spot could 
identify them, so terribly burned are they. The 
laborere are at work digging them out of the rub¬ 
bish and there are hopes that others will bo res¬ 
cued alive. 
The reason of the falling of the wall was the 
digging away of the foundation by the contractors 
of a new building in process of erection next 
door. 
Exaggerated reports are in circulation as to the' 
number of persons killed and wounded, bat wo 
believe our reporter nas stated the facts in the 
case. 
O’ Com. Jacob Jones died in Philadelphia on 
Saturday last, after a lingering illness. He stood 
nearly at the head of the list of post captains, two 
names only taking precedence. He fought in the 
Wasp, one of the bloodiest naval battles in our 
history, and captured in 45 minutes the British 
brig-of-war Frolic, of superior force and under 
circumstances highly unfavorable to success.— 
For this act the States of Delaware, Massachu¬ 
setts and New York, each voted him a sword in 
commemoration of his gallantry, which was in 
nowise impaired by the subsequent capture of 
both the Wasp and Frolic, when in a crippled 
condition, by a British 74. 
Baltimore, August 5 —The Hon. Henry Clay 
arrived here in the 11 o’clock train from Washing¬ 
ton. He was welcomed by a large number of 
friends. He proceeded to Philadelphia this P. M. 
Washikuton, 5th.—A private despatch just re¬ 
ceived from North Carolina, by which we learn 
that the Democrats have gained 2500 in the coun¬ 
ties heard from, and 6 members of the Legisla¬ 
ture. Reed is certainly elected Governor and the 
Legislature is probably democratic. 
Death of Orlando Browe. —The Intelligen¬ 
cer has received intelligence of the death of Or¬ 
lando Brown, late Indian Commissioner, by chol¬ 
era, on his way to Kentucky.

No change in the price of Wlieat, though the market is 
rather firmer tlian last week; good samples readily bringing 
$112^. Flour 5 50(^5 62—a shilling advance since our 
last report. 
The wet and unfavorable weather for nearly two weeks 
past has greatly retarded the securing and marketing of the 
wheat crop. The loss to farmers must be heavy, as a great 
portion of the grain is yet in the field, and most of it is 
growing in the bundle. Beside the loss in quantity and 
quality, the crop will not reach the market as early as in 
former years.

EMERY & Co.’s 
Latest Improved Railroad Horse-Power,'and Over¬ 
shot Threshing Machine& Separator. 
T he above cut represents this most useful maebine, 
vviili tlie Latest Improvements, O' For which 
Patent is secured, embiacing some of great value and 
importance — wliicli have sugge.stcd themselves fVom time 
to time as the various kinds made and sold by us liave l)e- 
come worn, used and failed. 
Tlie most important of these consists principally in the 
mode of applying the jiower and motion from the endless 
platform to the slwft of the main Driving Pulley, and ob¬ 
taining the necessary motion for the Overshot Threshino 
Machine, without crossing liands or interinediale gearings, 
and at the same time dispensing witli the small pinions and 
cogs on the links of the eildless platform. 
Tliis Power, as will lie readily seen in the cut, lias tlie 
revolving plank platform traversing upon its own friction 
wheels ami iron Railroad track. At the forward end tliis 
platforrn'is supported by its small iron shafts, upon an iron 
reel atiout sixteen inches in diameter — tlie shaft of tliis 
reel extending lieyond the sides of the frame work sufficient¬ 
ly to secure the strong converge or internal gear, whicli is 
al)Out twenty-four iiiclies in diameter. The shall of tlic 
driving pulley (which pulley is about three lectin diame¬ 
ter,) is hung in like manner with the small gear upon one 
end, operating inside tlic converge gear befbre described, 
and consequently receives an increased motion in tlie same 
direction and carries tlie driving pully on the opposite end, 
and side of the power, for driving the oversliot cylinders 
witliout crossing bands or iiitermedi.ite gearing — and at 
the same limd dispense witli the small pinions and cogs on 
tlie links of the endless platform. 
Tills arrangement entirely removes all liability of break¬ 
age and wear of links and pinions (heretofore unavoida¬ 
ble) as the the direct stress upon the links working over 
small pinions is wholly avoided—tJiereby combining oreat- 
ER Strenuth and Durability with lighter Friction, 
without tlie liability of breakage of links, or the wearing 
of links and pinions,—(no small item in tiie expense of re¬ 
pairs in mo.st otlier kinds of powers in use.) The far¬ 
mer or meclianic is enabled to ixrrform a greater amount of 
work, or to operate witli less power or elevation, as best 
suits his wishes. 
Tile arrangement for liglitening tlie endless platform iiy 
means of joint bolts connecting with the bearings of tlie 
reel sliaft is the best we have seen—as it can in-tantly be 
accomplislied witli acotninon wrench, witliout stopping tlie 
team. 
Our platform lias been considerably lengilicncd—avoid¬ 
ing tlie difficulty of large or unsteady horses stepping over 
or off at eiilier end. 
These Powers were introduced to a considerable extent 
last season, and wherever used side by side witli the most 
approved powers of other kinds, liave given unqualified 
satisfaction and been preferred. 
Having been long engaged in tlie Manufacture, Intro¬ 
duction, Sale, &c., of tlie various kinds of Horse-Powers, 
for dificreni puriioscs, and at all times adopted such im¬ 
provements as from observation and exi)criment liave seem¬ 
ed necessary and desirable, we feel confident tliat in this 
Power, as now manufactured, all that can tic desirable, is 
found to a greater extent tlian any heretofore sold by us, 
or with wliicli we are acquainted. 
Tlie Oversliot Threshers and Vibrating Sep.Trators, with 
improvcmcius, liave been sold with like success as tlie 
Powers. Tlicy admit of a level feeding table, tiius avoid¬ 
ing accidents, (wliicli often occur with the inclined feeding 
tioard,) by preventing hard substances, sticks and stones 
from getting into tlie machine and lireaking spikes, en¬ 
dangering those engaged with them. 'I'lie Cylinder Sliaft, 
[of cast steel,] runs in Bronze Boxes, which are so made 
of two parts as easily to be adjusted when worn loose, and 
can with little trouble, always be kept tiglit. The speed 
of the Power is sucli that a larger pulley is used on tlie 
Tliresher than on most others—driving stronger, with less 
liability of slipping of liands, wliicli last are made of V'ul- 
canized India Rubber. Ttic Separator makes a complete 
separation of Grain from tlie Straw, leaving it in tlie best 
condition for tlie Fan Mill; tlius saving the labor of several 
men, and doing tlie work better. 
Fan .Mills of various size.s, for Hand, or fitted to bo driv¬ 
en by the Power, at same time of tliresliing. Also, Saw 
Mills in complete order. 
Tlic Double Horse-Power is capable, witli 3 or 1 men of 
tliresliing from 125 to “Joo Iiuslielcs of Wheat or Rye, and 
tlie single one from 75 to 100 Imshels. or double tliat aiian- 
tiiy of Oats per d.ay. They are warranted to perform as 
above, or may be returned to us or our Agents, of wliom

TO FARMERS AMD GARDENERS! 
SEYMOURS 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 tlie public. 
It sows or plants all kinds of grain and seeds, from 
pens, 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, (w'hich are very conveniently detached,) are 
taken off. 
Many farmers soak their wheat in brine or other 
liquid, (in which the good seed sinks while the foul 
floats oft’,) for the double purpose of separating it 
from foul seed and rolling it in lime, plaster or other 
fertilizing substtmees. This has the advantage over 
other drills, inasmuch as it performs well in sowing 
grain thus prepared, while they utterly fail in the at¬ 
tempt. Wet wheat, oats or white caps, which so 
readily clog other machines, arc not serious obsta¬ 
cles in this. Those who wish to soak tlieir seed for 
any purpose whatever, or mix with it any line fer¬ 
tilizers, such ns lime, plaster, bone dust, &c.,—and 
also those who prefer thrashing with a flail, to avoid 
the injury done to the seed by thr.ashing with a 
machine — will find THiy 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 bo con- 
sUintly AssuRKD that tlie seed is depo.sited as he de¬ 
signs. The teeth arc all raised from the ground at 
once, with one lever, and the seed all stooped at 
once; or one may bo raised at a time, and the seed 
it discharges stopped. 
The 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 wwwy, 
and tlie most 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 brecl 
a practical farmer, and ought to know something of 
thefarmer’'s w.ants,) 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 tills 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. 
sowing plaster, it is invaluable on account of its sav¬ 
ing labor as well as avoiding the very disagreeable 
dust that arises from it.

RECOMMENDATIONS. 
A few certificates, from the most rcnafilc sources, 
are subjoined;— 
Mr. Seymo7ij -Sir: With the Grain Drill wliich 
I purchased of you this season, my son, a lad 16 
years of age, has put in about 5(i acres of wheat for 
me, and witli some of it about a hmsliel 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. PRA R. PECK. 
East Bloomfield, Sept., 17, 1849. 
3Ir. P. Seymour — Dear Sir: Y'on ask for my 
opinion with regard to the Wheat Drill I purchased 
of you this fall. Witliout sjiccifying particulars, I 
would express my unqualified 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 bo universally adopted by far¬ 
mers. 1 would not willingly disparage the patents 
of other individuals. 
In haste, with groat rc.spect, yours, &c..

Roclicster, Sept. 7, 1849. 
r have examined certian certificates in the hands 
of Mr. Seymour, in favor of his Grain Drill, one of 
tliem from Ira R. Peck. I am personally acquaint¬ 
ed with Mr. Peek. 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 
the confidence that any statement which Mr. (Sey¬ 
mour would be likely to make in regard to the Drill 
would be strictly true. ISAAC 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, &:c. 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 niaehino is well known in Western New- 
York, and is universally acknowledged 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. (Sic. It is capable of dusting every inch 
of ground on an acre of land with less than 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 at five County and two State 
Agricultural Fairs. 
TESTIMONIALS. 
The following certificates show the public senti¬ 
ment in regard to this machine; 
"We, 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. 
DAVID C. BATES, Canandaigua, 
SAMUEI H. ANDREWS, do. 
RUFUS HUMPHREY, 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 poas, and 20 b'ishela of barley in one 
day, and I think 30 acres a reasonable day’s work. 
J. H. GLAiSiS, Avon, Ijv. Co. 
Mr. Seymour —Dear Sir: The Sowing Machine 
I purchased of you in September last, fully answers 
the recommendations, and I think it among the best 
farming implements of which ourcountry can boast. 
J. HOLLOWAY, York, Liv. 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 
Sowing 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 
T he SUBSCRIBERS would respectfully say 
to the Farmers and otliers of Western New 
York, that they have been appointed the General 
Agents for the sale of tlie above machines by tlie 
manufacturers, Messrs. Wlieeler, Mellick & Co., of 
AKiany, and that they are prejiared to fill all orders 
at Albany prices—adding only transportation. 
These machines are favorably known wherever 
they have been used or exhibited. Tlicy liavc ta¬ 
ken premiums at many dillereht 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 
flattering commendations. 
As many ns 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 tlircsh rather more 
than half as fast as the double ones. [For farther 
particulars see advertisement of Wheeler, Mellick 
& Co., in previous numbers of the Rural New- 
Yorker.] 
All machines warranted to work well, or they 
may be returned within three months and the money 
refunded. RAPALJE &, BRIGGS,
