jngp The Louisville Courier publishes a list of 
disasters on the Western waters during the year 
1852. It is a formidable one, embracing 78 st eam¬ 
boats, 4 barges, 73 coal boats, 32 salt boats, and 
4 others flat boats. It appears that 48 boats were 
lost by being snagged, Hi by explosions, 4 were 
burnt, and the others lost by collision aud other 
mishaps. The greater number of the flat-boats 
were destroyed by the breaking up of the ice last 
winter. The greatest number of lives lost by one 
disaster was the explosion of the Saluda, 100.— 
The total loss of life exceeds 400 persons. 
The mildness of the present winter is no¬ 
ticeable even in New Hampshire, where the win¬ 
try season is usually long and severe. We learn 
that Lake Winnepisseogee has not yet been frozen 
over. This Lake is generally closed by ice by the 
first of December, and by the first of January or 
earlier, it is so thick that all communication be¬ 
tween the towns situated on opposite sides of the 
Lake, is had by crossing on the ice. The trout 
and perch, which are caught in great abundance 
in this Lake by fishing through the ice, have not 
yet been taken in quantities. 
Jggp Nearly every year since the discovery of 
goiu in California, the shipments from New York 
t'> foreign countries have been quite large. In 
1818 the aggregate was $11,034,786; in 1849, 
$4,803,450; 1850, $9,952,948 ; 1851, $43,733,209, 
and in 18o2, $15,096,255, making a total of $94,- 
630,648 iu six years, averaging §15,771,775 each 
year. When it is considered that the early impor¬ 
tations from California were quite limited, it will 
be seen that a very large per cent of the receipts 
of California gold has passed through our hands 
into those of foreigners. 
Gov. Bigler, of Pennsylvania, delivered his 
first message to the Legislature on Wednesday.— 
He reports an actual balance in the Treasury on 
the first of December, of $671,000, estimates the 
receipts of the opening year at $4,626,500, and 
the exepnditures at $4,028,670, and gives $10,- 
000,000 as the amount of public debt; $497,039,- 
619, as the assessed value of all the real aud per¬ 
sonal estate in the State. The receipts from the 
public works during the last year amounted to 
$1,896,811 42, and the expenditures to $1,029,- 
341 23. 
SJ3f“ The Hon. Henry Barnard, of Connecticut, 
is delivering a course of lectures before the Smith¬ 
sonian Institution, at Washington, on Popular 
Education. This distinguished gentleman, it will 
be remembered, has had the advantage of a very 
extensive travel in Europe, in the course of which 
he made himself familiar with the public school 
system of Prussia and other countries. He was 
also for several years, Superintendent of public 
schools in Connecticut. 
A writer in the Delaware Republican, calls 
attention to an unusually large spot on the sun, 
which may be seen through smoked or colored 
gliss. The writer adds:—“ By a rough measure¬ 
ment of the present spot, I found its diameter to 
be about thirty-three thousand miles, consequent¬ 
ly occupying an area on the sun’s surface ot eight 
hundred millions of square miles, equal to four 
times the superficial contents of the earth.” 
2 ^ 5 ?" It is stated that $1,500 was paid the late 
J. Feuimore Cooper, by Graham’s Magazine, for 
the “ Islet of the Gulf,” and $1,000 for ten Naval 
Biographies, besides $1,200 for twelve other arti¬ 
cles. It is said that during the last three years 
Sartaiii’s Magazine has paid $16,000 for literary 
articles. Godev’s Lady’s Book has also expended 
large sums in die same way. 
A. G. Benson, of New York, has underta¬ 
ken to construct a marine railway at Honolulu.— 
'Phe Hawaiian government has granted him a 
large piece of ground, in fee simple, for the site. 
Benson gives a bond, as a guaranty on his part 
that the work shall be completed within two years, 
and the government gives him an exclusive priv¬ 
ilege for twenty years. 
According to the accounts from Oregon, 
immense numbers of emigrants continued to pour 
into that territory, the beueficial effects of which 
were observable in every department of life.— 
The forests were fast disappearing from before the 
husband men, tradesmen were over-run with busi¬ 
ness, and bachelors had been rendered happy by 
the influx of females. 
The production of beet root sugar is in¬ 
creasing in France. •The factories at work on 
the 1st of December, 1852, numbered 335, an 
increase of 81. The quantity of sugar made in 
1851 was ten millions of pounds, whilst that of 
1852 will not lie far from thirty-seven millions of 
pounds. The best quality retails at sixteen cents 
a pound. 
L5?” The Rochester and Syracuse Straight Line 
Railroad is now nearly completed. The rails are 
all laid down, and a locomotive passed over it, 
bearing a number of the officers on the 1st inst. 
The work of graveling the track is not yet com¬ 
pleted, but it is being distributed aloug’the lino, 
and will be placed on the road in the spring. 
The total cost of the New York and Erie 
Railroad up to the 20th of September, it is offici¬ 
ally stated, was $27,551,203 71—which has been 
provided for as follows Stock paid up, $7,766,- 
991 17 ; funded debt, $18,003,868 90; floating 
$1,323,653 55. Receipts of the road for past 
month of December, $352,138 33. 
The message of Gov. French, of Illinois, 
states that the finances of that State are in a very 
prosperous condition, and intimate they will soon 
he in a situation to meet all their liabilities, and 
pay annually the interest on all her debts, without 
any increase of taxation. 
IW* A part of the pews in the Plymouth 
church at Brooklyn, which is under the pastoral 
charge of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, were rented, 
a lew days since for $9,300. Theie remain 125 
pews yet unrented, which will raise the aggregate 
to some $12,000 or $13,000. 
taf" Hon. William Upham, U. S. Senator from 
Vermont, died on the 14th inst., at Washington, 
aged about GO. He lias been nearly ten years a 
Senator, Laving first taken his seat in 1843. Ho 
had two years from the 4th of March next to serve 
of his second term. 
5 > 3 g”The Albany Evening Journal of Wednes¬ 
day says :—One hundred and twenty-five of the 
disappointed applicants for the eight or ten offices 
at the disposal of the Assembly, went home yes¬ 
terday, and the remainder will leave to day or to¬ 
morrow. 
Two prizes, of $1,000 each, are offered by 
the French government for the two best dictiona¬ 
ries of the Arabic language. Two years are al¬ 
lowed for the completion of the work, beginning 
with the first of January, 1853. 
l~W* We understand that nearly one hundred 
thousand dollars has been contributed towards the 
enlargement of tlie City Hospital, and that Win. 
B. Astor has contributed $20,000 towards this 
most benevolent enterprise.

Arrival of the Arabia. 
The new Cunard Steamer Arabia arrived at 
New York on the 16th inst. Her news is only 
three days later than was received by the Baltic, 
and is of very litle importance. The Christmas 
holidays are always a dull season for news. 
The new British Ministry has taken possession 
of its official quarters. 
The French Legislative Corps is convoked on 
the 14th of February, and the new Constitution 
in the name of the Empire has been promulged. 
The provisions of this instrument are mainly as 
follows: The Emperor is invested with powers 
to pardon and grant amnesties, and may preside 
at choice over the Senate and the Council of State. 
Public works are to be ordered by Imperial de¬ 
cree. Successors to the throne to be French 
Princes; the Emperor’s eldest son to take the 
title of Prince Imperial. The number of Sena¬ 
tors nominated directly by the Emperor not to 
exceed 150 ; each member to have an annual do¬ 
tation of 30,000f. for life. The Budget of expen¬ 
ses to be voted by Ministries, after presentation 
to the Legislative Corps. The last section abro¬ 
gates nine articles of the Constitution of Januaiy 
14, 1852. 
The death of the mother of Kossuth has given 
rise to explanations. The Belgian Government, 
it is stated, were willing to grant permission of a 
visit to Kossuth, on the condition that he should 
submit to be accompanied by a police officer,—a 
requirement which was refused. 
The same intelligence from India as ever. The 
troops and natives have skirmishes and counter¬ 
skirmishes, without any definite results. 
Australian Gold Fields. — Among the most 
interesting items brought by the Baltic are the 
accounts, in the London papers, of the progress 
of gold gathering iu Australia, brought down to 
the 11 th of October. The ship Marco Polo had 
made the voyage from Sidney in 70 days, antici¬ 
pating the steamship Australian, which left Mel¬ 
bourne 28th October with 220.000 ouncesof Gold 
Dust; the ship Phoenician with 48,959 ounces, 
and the Calphurnea with 56,170 ounces. These 
three shipments, and the amount on the Marco 
Polo, are worth seven millions of dollars ! The 
week the Marco left, the Government and other 
escorts brought from the Mount Alexander, Bal¬ 
larat and Victoria mines, 80,784 ounces, equal to 
$1,615,630. A nugget of Gold, weighing 340 
ounces, of the value of $6,800, had been taken 
out, and arrived at London by this opportunity, a 
present to Queen Victoria.— Daily Times. 
Sheep Killing. — It was stated at the town 
meeting on Tuesday, by gentlemen from West 
Hartford, that two thousand dollars worth of 
sheep have been killed by dogs in West Hartford, 
the past two or three years, and that the farmers 
of that region are abaudouing their flocks on ac¬ 
count of the great losses they are obliged to sus¬ 
tain by the onset of dogs upon the sheep. They 
state that the dogs do their mischief iu the night, 
and sometimes they destroy a whole flock in the 
course of a night. The dogs arc sly and cunning, 
and they have reason to believe that they come 
from great distances for their prey. It is intend¬ 
ed to bring the matter to the attention of the 
Legislature next May — Hartford Times. 
California Fires. —The total loss of property 
by fires in California during the past three years, 
is estimated at sixty-six millions of dollars' An 
explanation of the amazing rapidity and extent of 
the California conflagrations, may be found in the 
following sentence in the Sacramento Union :— 
“ In building as a substitute for plaster and lath¬ 
ing, cotton fabrics have been used, which at the 
simple touch of a lighted candle, flash up and 
bqrn like powder.” The California rooms are 
partitioned from one another, and ceiled with 
cotton sheeting! The consequence is that a first 
class hotel is all in ashes in fifteen minutes after 
it takes fire. 
Coal in tihs State. —The Buffalo Commercial 
Advertiser sav-s :—“ We have seen at the office of 
W. W. Mann, Esq., of this city, a specimen of the 
coal of this Slate, taken from the direct route of 
the proposed Buffalo and Pittsburgh Railroad.— 
The specimen is of a superior quality, bituminous, 
and some portion clean canuel coal. It was ta¬ 
ken from Cattaraugus county, and puts geologists 
at fault. Great quantities exist in the same lo¬ 
cality.” 
Steam on Canals. — It seems that steam has 
been used on our Schuylkill canal as well as on 
the Chesapeake and Ohio. Wo learn from the 
Pottsvillo Mining Register that there is a steam 
canal boat on the Navigation works, which, a 
short time since, performed a trip to New York, 
carrying 150 tons of coal, traveling at the rate of 
six miles per hour. 
To Agents and New Subscribers. 
In compliance with our offer (see Premium 
List on last page,) we forward the present, or a 
back volume of the Wool Grower and Stock Reg¬ 
ister (or a volume of the Farmer,) to every -person 
who seuds us $2 for a single copy of the Rural. 
Hence all new subscribers who receive our month¬ 
ly will understand that it is sent free, or as a pre¬ 
mium,—and not remit payment as some have done. 
Those who do not wish the monthly, or prefer to 
have it addressed to a third person, will please ad¬ 
vise us accordingly. 
Those entitled to cash premiums, will please 
retain the amount—for their safety and our con¬ 
venience. They will thus be sure of the money, 
and save us the trouble (or deprive us of the 
pleasure) of remitting. Persons entitled to spe¬ 
cial premiums will oblige us by designating the 
books or articles wanted, and how they wish them 
forwarded. 
Speaking of Premiums, we invite the attention 
of new subscribers aud friends to our list on last 
page. It is not too late to form clubs, aud we 
shall probably be able to supply back numbers 
of this volume for some weeks —and those who 
prefer can commence with this or any future num¬ 
ber. We hope our new friends, as well as former 
ones, will see what may be done for the Rural in 
their respective neighborhoods. 
Additions to Clubs — Are now iu order. Af¬ 
ter a club for the year is formed, any number of 
copies may be added at the club price. Agents, 
and those wanting the Rural, will please bear 
this in mind, and govern themselves accordingly.

Rochester, Jan. 19, 1853. 5 
Tiie recent snow and touch of sleighing has a favorable 
tendency, though the severity of the weather has limited 
out door operations. A little more snow would make ex¬ 
cellent traveling, and produce a rush city-ward. As it is 
business is improving. 
Flour.— Tiie market remains unchanged, while the 
shipments by railroad continue large- 
Grain.—W heat is in good demand, and better prices are 
paid. Good samples bring $1,20, and extra lots command 
a higher figure. Other grains remain nearly unchanged. 
Seeds.—T he market opens favorably for producers.— 
Clover seed is in demand at $6,50; a lot of 200 bush, sold 
yesterday at that figure. Timothy is scarce, and com¬ 
mands $2,50@3, according to quality. No Flax seed iu 
market. 
Provisions.—N o change in price of Pork, and but little 
coming to market. The trade is about over, so far as

Mutton carcasses sell at from 3 to 4@5c. per lb. Poultry 
comes in freely, but prices are maintained. 
Hay lias advanced. Best quality brings $15. The mar¬

Thu Great Difficulty Surmounted. 
T. S. Steadman's Clover and Grass-Seed Reaper. 
I T has long been a question among Farmers why there 
could not be a machine constructed for the purpose of 
gathering Clover seed, that should gather the heads only, 
and leave Che stalks upon the ground where they should be, 
thereby saving a vast amount of labor and time in trans¬ 
porting the stalks to the barn and out again to the field for 
manuring purposes. 
The subscriber would respectfully announce to the far¬ 
ming community that he has removed all the obstacles 
which have hitherto prevented a machine of this kind 
from doing the work satisfactorily, and now offers his 
Reaper to the public, in the firin’ belief that it will give 
entire satisfaction. The machine will gather from eight 
to ten acres daily, gathering only the heads, and doing it 
in the finest order. Only one horse is used—moving it 
with perfect ease through the stoutest clover. 
For farther testimonials in regard to my Machine, I 
would respectfully refer you to the following gentlemen :

Sixth Volume of Dodge’s Literary Museum, 
which begins on the 11th of December, 1852, it will be

Horse Powers in 1850, 1851, and again in 1852, also at the 
Provincinoial Fair of Canada, recently held at Toronto,

ly commend the principle and workmanship of this Power, 
now otter them at manufacturer’s prices, with the trans¬

Manny’s Patent Adjustable Northern Illinois' 
reaper an a r.iowEii. 
First Premium Machine for 1853. 
\ WARDED the First Premium for Mowing and the 
u-X second for Reaping, at the N. Y. State Fa r, in the great 
trial at Geneva, N. Y., iu July, in compe ith n with efeven 
other machines; awarded a Silver Medal at the Ohio State 
Fair, tor the best Reaper” and Mower, and received the 
highest award at the Vermont and Michigan State Fairs 
for the best Reaping and Mowing Machine. 
The true merit ot this Machine lias given it a great tri¬ 
umph over all others, and being a perfect combination of 
Reaper and Mower, it comes to the farmer with double 
value, and it is clearly demonstrated to be tiie only success¬ 
ful combination ot Reaper and Mower. As a Mower, it is 
as simple aud perfect as though constructed expressly for 
mowing; and as a Reaper, it is as simple and perfect as if 
constructed for reaping only. All tiie change that is neces¬ 
sary from one plan to the other, is to insert or remove a 
loose platform. 
Machines warranted to cut all kinds of grain as well as 
can be cut with a scythe, and to cut flax and millet, also to 
’gather clover, timothy and flux seed, and to Le well built 
and of good materials. This machine will cut from ten to 
fifteen acres per day, with two horses, and one person to 
tend it when mowing, anti two persons when reaping. The 
cutting apparatus is made perfect by means of a double 
edged sickle, aud double guards, as fully tested the last two 
years, and it is connected with a joint, so as to adjust itself 
to uneven ground, and by a level at the driver’s seat, it can 
be raised when moving along, to cut f. oin one inch to two 
feet from the ground. All side draft against the team is 
entirely avoided. The machine will turn square corners, 
and turn square about, either way. Over three hundred 
of these machines were in use the past season, all of which 
gave perfect satisfaction. 
The machines are manufactured at Hoosiek Falls for the 
State of New York, and I will have them delivered to any 
part of Western New York where ordered. Price of ma¬ 
chine, where made, $125. Address Gen. R. Harmon

PORTABLE YS1S.E. 
[From the Ohio Farmer, December 2, 1852.] 
J ) OSS’ Improved Patent Conical Burr Mill Stones.— 
A Our readers will many of them remember that Ross’ 
Portable Burr Stone Mill took the First Premium at tne 
Annual State Fair, held in this city a few weeks since.— 
This admirable invention must commend itself to every 
one who has witnessed its operation. In the first place it 
is easily portable, simple in structure, does not easily get 
out of order, aud does its work with great rapidity and 
perfeclion. It may be used for grinding the coarsest food 
for cattle, or the finest meal for family use. It is also well 
adapted for grinding wheat- rye or buckwheat. It is indeed 
a perfect grist mill in miniature, and we would advise eve¬ 
ry farmer, if possible, to procure one. The expense of 
one of these mills, with the apparatus for horse power, 
can not be very great; or a number of farmers might club 
together and procure one, which would be sufficient for all.. 
Mr. Ross is, we believe, a resident of Rochester, N. Y. 
N. B. —Any further information relative to the Conical 
Mill can be oblaiued by tetter, post-paid, or by calling at

CARY’S ROTARY FIRE ENGINE JPUDIY*. 
rjIHE Inventor after thoroughly testing his engine pump 
X (for the past two years,) feels confident that it is not 
equalled by any- thing now in market, in the way of rais¬ 
ing or forcing water—the motion being rotary, the stream 
is constant without the aid of an air vessel. The packing 
is self-adjusting, very durable, and cannot well get out of 
order. 
These pumps are well calculated for all the purposes for 
which pumps or hydrants may be used, viz., Factories, 
Steamboats, Tanneries, Breweries, Distilleries, Railroad 
Water Stations, Hotels, Mines, Garden Engines, &c. The 
highest testimonials will lie given. 
No. 1 is a house or well pump and domestic Fire En¬ 
gine, and will raise from 20 to 30 gallons per minute. 
No. 2 will raise 100 gallons at 120 revolutions. 
No. 2>* do 200 do 120 do. 
No. 3 do 300 do 120 do. 
The quantity raised can be doubted, by doubling the 
revolutions. These machines are manufactured and sold 
by the subscribers at Brockport, N. Y.
