Pleasant Pages for Young People : or Book of

Boston : Gould & Lincoln, 1853. 
This is a reprint of an English book — a serial 
work on rather a novel plan. It is divided into 
twenty-six sections, one for each week, and each 
subdivided into six parts entitled “ Monday, Tues- 
day,” <fcc. This will give two or three pages for 
each week day, through six months. It is intended 
to be read to children, or by them, every morning. 
Ten minutes time will suffice for the daily lesson, 
and supply matter for thought for the day. It 
appears well suited to the object proposed — the 
less palatable bits of information being well dis¬ 
guised in the colloquial narrative method of ad¬ 
ministering them. For sale by Sage tfc Bro.

This is a reprint of a work recently commenced 
by the Messrs. Chambers of Edinburgh, in a Ptyle 
similar to the “ Miscellany,” which maintained a 
circulation of more than eighty thousand copies in 
England, and nearly reached the same sale in this 
country. The present work is in facta continua¬ 
tion of the “ Miscellany,” under a new name.— 
Arrangements have been made by the American 
publishers, by which they will issue the work 
simultaneously with the English edition, in two 
monthly 16 mo. volumes, of 260 pageseach. Each 
volume is complete in itself, and for sale as above.

“ 'Hie Christianity required by the Times” is a 
a weil-ieasoned article by the editor, in which he 
shows that I lie general inculcation of religious 
truth, without its specific application to public 
evils, is not a sufficient mission for the church.— 
Pauperism, intemperance, and many other evils, 
need sadly the energetic, reforming hand of re¬ 
ligion. Carlton A Phillips New York ; 96 pages,

Emigration ok 1851—The Annual Report of 
the Commissioners ot Emigration states that the 
total number of vessels employed in conveyin' 1 '' 
passengers to this port during the year 1852 was 
2,190, and the whole number of passengers landed 
was 340,144. The emigration from Germany was 
the largest, amounting to 119,611 ; while" from 
Ireland tlieie were 118,131. The Germany emi¬ 
gration has more than doubled the average of pre¬ 
ceding years, and embraces 48,7:8 more Ilian in 
1851 ; while the Irish have fallen off 45,119, or 
nearly one-quarter less in number than in 1851. 
The receipts of the Commissioners of Emigration 
during the year were $572,529, and the expendi¬ 
tures $569,516 ; leaving a balance of $2,812._ 
Since tiie organization of the Board, the expendi¬ 
tures for building, Ac., have reached $300,000.—

, Jt-£F*The Bennington, tVt.) State Banner says 
that the marble I usi ness in the north part of that 
county, is destined to be one of vast importance. 
Several large purchases by companies from Phila¬ 
delphia have been concluded with individuals re¬ 
siding in Manchester and Dorset. These towns 
abound in marble quarries of the finest grade, 
which have never been accounted of any great 
value, until since the construction of tiie Western 
Y ennont Railroad. Some persons in that section 
who were recently poor, are esteemed rich. They 
psossess the “rocks.” 
The Patriot War.—I t may not be known to 
all who served in the sanguinary campaign of 
“ Pork and Beans” during the Patriot emeute on 
the northern frontier in 1837, that they are entitled, 
under one of the recent “ Land Bouuty laws” to 
forty acres of Uncle Sam’s domain. Considering 
the hardships, privations, and hair-breadth es¬ 
capes, of those troublous times, this bounty is 
peculiarly expressive of the nation’s gratitude.

Arrival of the Arabia. 
By the Arabia, we have Liverpool dates of the 
12th ult. Wc give the most important items be- 
low: 
An insurrection broke out at Milan on the 6th, 
and it was said that 300 of the insurgents had 
been slain by tiie soldiers. By the latest dispatch- 
es it appeared that tiie fighting had recommenced 
after the first suppression of it. A proclamation 
from Mazzini was piacaidcd. He had beeD in 
Switzedaud the month preceding. A proclama¬ 
tion, purporting to be from Kossuth to tiie Hun¬ 
garians in Italy, had been published. The Mor¬ 
ning Chronicle, of tiie 12th, says that a dispatch 
from Milan, “of a later date.” reasserts that trau- 
quiliiy is quite restored ; that more arrests have 
been made, and three persons shot—and that the 
citizens took no part in the emeute. 
1 lie Italian news lias created great sensation 
in Paris. All other mutters, dull,In France. 
Omar Pasha lias issued a proclamation, promis¬ 
ing to the Montenegrins that lie will respect their 
property if they will at once laydown their arms. 
Contradictory rumors prevail about the war. It 
is said that the mountaineers are not united.

Arrival of the United States. 
The steamship United States, Wm. C. Berry 
commander, arrived at New York on the 23d ult. 
witli 250 passengers and $112,0Q0 treasure. 
The United States brings dates from Jamaica 
to Feb. 18, from Australia to Nov. 27. The Brit¬ 
ish bark Larue, from Melbourne to Panama, 
brought 17 passengers, mostly Americans, who 
have ail brought their “piles,” and speak in the 
highest terms of the country. 
No news of much importance from California. 
Provisions were cheaper. M Lnes were generally 
doing well. 
Great excitement existed in California on ac¬ 
count of the great number of robberies and mur¬ 
ders by an organized gang of Mexicans. The 
Americans were retaliating. 
A mass meeting had been held to take meas¬ 
ures to exterminate the Mexican population from 
the country. All who refused to leave were to be 
shot down. 
An old Indian chief at Frenchtown has been 
hung by a lynching party. 
A heavy flood had occurred in the Utah coun¬ 
try. The White valley was under water. 
Tiie health of the Isthmus remained good, and 
the roads across are rapidly improving. 
IcSf” The Commercial Advertiser says,—“We 
learn from a creditable source that Madame Gold¬ 
schmidt lias signified her determination to pay 
another professional visit to this country. She 
will sing at various places in Germany during the 
present year, and the following season, wilf ap¬ 
pear in Opera at London. She will appear in the 
IL S. and give Operas in all the principal cities, 
remaining here probably two or three years. 
£2?” The city Editor of the St. Louis Republi¬ 
can lias discovered that whiskers and moustachios 
are to the human system what Ericsson’s wire re¬ 
ceiver is to his breathing machine, and that a per¬ 
son Well provided with the hirsute adornments 
will require less oxygen from the atmosphere at 
each inhalation, as a portion of the heated air is 
retained in the capilliaries. That discovery ranks 
him among philosophers. 
At an oyster supper the other day, in Al¬ 
bany, tlieie were present—one father, three daugh¬ 
ters, one son, one mother, one brother, tliree 
grand-daughters, three sister-in-laws, one uncle, 
one brother-in-law, tliree aunts, four cousins, one 
wife, one nephew, one grand-sou, three nieces! one 
husband, and three sisters. And yet, strange to 
say, there was only four persons present. 
Nine dollars will be the cost of the next 
summer’s trip from N. York to Cincinnati. After 
the 1st of April the fare from N. Y r ork to Buffalo, 
on the Eiie Road to Hornellsville, and theuce on 
tiie Hornellsville and Attica, will be only five dol¬ 
lars. And it is announced that the Cincinnati, 
Dayton and Sandusky route to Buffalo will be only 
four dollars. J 
Jpg'” The first sign that ever swungto the breeze 
in the city of Mexico, was that of a Yaukee tai¬ 
lor, about twenty years ago, and it quite astonished 
the Mexicans, who don’t use signs or expose anv 
goods or chattels in their windows or at their 
doors. Over five hundred Americans now live 
and do business in that city. 
o-Jf” According to Mr. De Bow, the revenue of 
Japan amounts to $100,000,000 annually. The 
standing army of tiie Empire, in time of peace, is 
120,000 men. The population isabout50,000.000. 
It is estimated that the trade of Japan with this 
country, if she opens her ports, will be worth more 
than $200,000,000 annually to us. 
O'” Gen. Pierce, it appears, finds it more diffi¬ 
cult to get a coachman than a Cabinet. It is now 
stated that Mr. Gear, of the Cambridge line of 
omnibuses, declines the appointment, as he will 
recive five dollars per month less than at present, 
and thinks the honor is not a sufficient equivalent 
for the difference. 
J he receipts into the Treasury of Califor¬ 
nia during tiie fiscal year, were $366,825. Ex¬ 
penditures, $987,849. Excess of expenditure 
$621,024. 1 he Assembly have voted to remain 
in Vallijo the present session, and the Senate are 
expected to concur. 
^SiW~The Louisiana Conference of the M. E. 
Church South, at its recent session reported a 
membership of 4,872 whites, and 4,790 colored.— 
Its missionary contributions amount to upwrads 
of $11,000—which is considearbly over $2 for 
every member wi thin its bounds. 
EUT The Warsaw Western New Yorker learns 
that after tiie first of April passengers are to be 
carried from Buffalo to New York, by way of the 
Buffalo and New York City Road, and New York 
and Erie, tor five dollars, instead of the present 
price, seven dollars and fifty cents. 
1 he State of Y irginia has a claim upon the 
Government for the sum of $120,000, which was 
advanced by the State in 1790, towar Is the erec¬ 
tion of the public buildings in Washington. Mary¬ 
land also advanced a sum towards the same object, 
and has been fully reimbursed. 
Jgf” The British Pacific Surveying expedition 
reports soundings to a depth greater than were 
previously obtained. At a position about midway 
betwenu Tristan d’Acunna, and Cape Horn, they 
reached eight miles and three-quarters, or'7,706 
fathoms.

Rochester, March 2,1853. j 
The good sleighing and brisk business which was ush¬

EMERY’S MOWER A\I3 REAPER. 
npHE subscriber, not only having made himself practi- 
X rally acquainted with the construction aud working 
of all the successful machines of this class, but having 
made and successfully introduced several valuable im¬ 
provements in some classes of agricultural machinery, 
which have already gained favorable and world-wide rep¬ 
utation and adoption, flatters himself that he has also 
made an improvement in the construction of a Mower and 
Reaper of equal if not greater merit, than any of his for¬ 
mer improvements. 
It will suffice to say, that while this is the most com¬ 
pact, light, simple, cheap, durable, easy working machine, 
it is at the same time, the most perfectly adjustable, and 
easily convertible into a Mower or Reaper, working as 
perfectly in either form as those of the best other kinds, 
whether simple or combined. The frame itself is so sus¬ 
pended upon the axis of tiie main wheel, as to be elevated 
and depressed at pleasure, so as to secure a horizontal or 
inclined (forward or back) position of the whole machine 
at whatever elevation used, thus always having the cutting 
works in proper position. 
la reaping, a reel is used, and the raker stands erect 
face forward and directly behind the platform, with a sup¬ 
port about him ; the movable platform being on the same 
plane with the frame-work at the side of the discharge, 
and at. the same time about two inches above the stubble. 
With the above introduction, aud the diagrams to follow, 
together with those in this number of the Rural New- 
Yorker, the public will have before them several machines 
from which to make a selection before purchasing for the 
coming season, and at the same time know what they are 
purchasing, much better than to be guided alone by im¬ 
practicably written and published reports of committees 
of public trials, and be enabled to purchase only such ar¬ 
ticles as have their practical as well as theoretical merits 
plainly pointed out. or if not so pointed, to purchase only 
of responsible manufacturers, who are willing to back their 
machines by tlieir reputation and capital.

NEW VAKIETV OF SWEET CORN. 
M ESSRS. HOVEY & CO., No. 7, Merchants Row, 
Boston, would respectfully inform their friends and 
the public, that they have purchased the entire stock of 
the OLD COLONY SWEET CORN,raised by the Rev. A. 
R. Pope, and described by him iu the Magazine of Horti¬ 
culture, Volume 11 , page 529. 
It is a true hybrid and the most remarkable variety ever 
produced. It was raised in 1847, from tiie Southern 
White Corn, impregnated with the early Sweet Corn of 
New England. The ears are of remarkable size, contain¬ 
ing sixteen, eighteen or twenty, and sometimes twenty- 
four rows each. In its productiveness it is unsurpassed, a 
single stock planted after the middle of June, producing 
six ears. It is the richest, sweetest and most delicious corn 
known. A 11 analysis of it, and several other sorts, by Dr. 
C. T. Jackson, shows that it is more abundant in saccha¬ 
rine matter than any other variety, its composition being 
“ dextrine, sugar, and phosphates,” while ihe common va¬ 
rieties contain considerable “ oil and gluten.” 
It has been exhibited before the Massachusetts Horti¬ 
cultural Society for three years, and has not only received 
the commendation of the Society, but has been awarded 
the following prizes : 
1850. For a new variety of Sweet Corn,.$2 00 
1851. For a new variety of Sweet Corn, called the Old' 
Colony,.g 5 00 
For superior specimens of tiie Old Colony 
Sweet Corn, Silver Medal.5.00 
1852. For fine specimens of Old Colony Sweet Corn,. 2,00 
The Committee on Vegetables, of the Massachusetts 
Horticultural Society, in their Report for 1852. remark, 
“ That the Old Colony Sweet Corn, raised by Mr. Pope! 
we recommend as worthy of .-uluvauun by all.*' 
The Old Colony Sweet Corn, though not as early as the 
Common Sweet, is sufficiently so to produce a perfect crop 
in New England. Two sowings, one iu May and the other 
in June, will supply the table from July until frost. AU 
who have eaten it, pronounce it the most luscious variety, 
and an invaluable addition to our esculent vegetables. ’

REAPER AND MOWER. 
First Premium Machine for 1853. 
4 WARDED the First Premium for Mowing and the 
i V second for Reaping, at the N. Y. State Fair, in the great 
trial at Geneva, N. Y., in July, in competition with eleven 
other machines; awarded a Silver Medal at the Ohio State 
Fair, for 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 of 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 the only success¬ 
ful combination of Reaper and Mower. As a Mower, it is 
as simple and perfect as though constructed expressly for 
mowing; and as a Reaper, it is as simple and perfect as if 
constructed for reaping only. All the 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 flax seed, and to be well built 
and of good materials. This macliiue will cut from ten to 
fifteen acres per day, with two horses, and one person to 
tend it when mowing, and two persons when reaping. The 
cutting apparatus is made perfect by means of a double 
edged sickle, and double guards, as fully tested the last two 
years, aud it is connected with ajoint, 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 from 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 winch 
gave perfect satisfaction. 
The machines are manufactured at Hoosick 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, 8125. Address Gen. R. Harmon

PORTABLE MILL. 
[From the Ohio Farmer, December 2,1852.] 
1 ) OSS’ Improved Patent Conical Burr Mill Stones. — 
Our readers w ill many of them remember that Ross’ 
Portable Burr Stone Mill took the First Premium at the 
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, and does its woi k with great rapidity and 
perfection. 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 he sufficient for all. 
Mr. Ross is, we believe, a resident of Rochester. N. Y.
