Arrival of the Arctic. 
The Steamship Arctic arrived at New York 
on the 29th nit., with English news of the 18tli. 
and Paris dates of the 17th. Hon. Win. P. R ves 
and family are among the passengers. 
Markets. — Breadstuff. Is—No change. Badness 
not active. Prices in favor of the buyer. 
Provision. —McHemy’s circular says : Bacon 
active, but buyers refuse to pay an advance.— 
Beef and Pork dull. Shoulders wanted at 34@- 
35 ; Cheese wanted ; Lard dearer; Tallow steady 
and quiet at 47 ; Clover seed firmer from propos¬ 
ed abolition of duty. 
The Tribune gives the following synopsis : 
The News brought by the Arctic is unusually 
varied and interesting. Mrs. Stowe and party- 
have been present at a meeting of the British aud 
Foreign Anti-Slavery Society. She was received 
with a tumult of applause, the vast audience ris¬ 
ing to welcome her, and the same enthusiastic 
ceremony was repeated as she went out. Profes¬ 
sor Stowe made a speech on the occasion, coun¬ 
seling his hearers to abstaiu from slavegrown pro¬ 
ducts. The Arctic Searching Expedition, com¬ 
manded by Lieut. Iuglefield, was about to set sail 
for the Northern Seas of this Continent. 
From France, we hear that the Empress was so 
far recovered as to appear in public, though still 
iu delicate health. 
The King of Belgium, with his son, was at Vi¬ 
enna, on the visit he has been making to the Ger¬ 
man Courts. 
In Spain, there was a considerable excitement 
with reference to the reception of Mr. Soule as 
Envoy from the United States, and the more vio¬ 
lent journals urged that he should be sent home. 
At Naples, the arrival of the U. S. frigate Cum¬ 
berland had caused a stir amoug the police, it be¬ 
ing reported that Mazzini was on board, but on 
the commander’s contradicting the rumor all 
cooled down again. 
From Turkey, there is nothing new of moment. 
There has been more fighting in Burmah, 
iu which the English were victorious. 
In China, the rebellion was rapidly advancing, 
so that the inhabitants of Shanghai were in a 
panic. The interposition of the British, French, 
and American forces has been begged by the Im¬ 
perial Chinese authorities, and some men-of-war 
of each nation had gone from Hong-Kong north¬ 
ward, rather to protect subjects and citizens 
than to gratify the mandarins and uphold the tot¬ 
tering dynasty. 
Commodore Perry was at Galle, Ceylon, on the 
lltli of March, on his way to Hong-Kong. 
From Australia, the gold news maintains its 
richness; one nugget has been found weighing 
abovs 134 lbs. of pure gold, and worth about $28,- 
000. 
The Kaffir war is finally settled once more, for 
how long a time remains to be seen.

American Sunday School Union.—T he twen¬ 
ty-ninth anniversary of this Institution was cele¬ 
brated in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening. Its 
receipts during the past year amounted to $217,- 
014, which, with the exception of $145, was all 
expended. The liabilities of the Institution now 
amount to $05,424, but the stock on hand is 
valued at $103,241. It has 157 missionaries, who 
have established 1,704 new schools, and visited 
and revived 2,398 others ; total scholars 195,350 ; 
teachers29 997. During the year, $130,910 worth 
of publications were put into circulation. 
Fall of Catfish.—T he Norfolk Argus states 
that a curious phenomenon attended the hail storm 
in that city on Tuesday night. Quantities of cat¬ 
fish, some measuring a foot in length, fell in differ¬ 
ent sections of the city, and some of the fields 
were literally strewed with them. Hundreds were 
picked up in the morning. This, says the Argus, 
is no piscatorial fabrication, but a fact which is 
attested by hundreds of citizens. 
Butter and Cheese. —New York is far in ad¬ 
vance of any other State in the productiveness of 
its dairies. They yield one-fourth of all the but¬ 
ter, and nearly one-half the cheese produced in 
the Union. Pennsylvania, which makes 40,000,- 
000 pounds of butter, is less prolific iu cheese than 
many smaller States. In this latter article, Ohio 
is before all other competitors, except New York. 
Monroe County Fairs. —The Executive Com¬ 
mittee, will hold a session at the Court House, on 
Tuesday, June 7tli, 1853, at 2 o’clock, P. M., to 
make a premium list, and decide when and where | 
Fairs are to be held. It is desired that the Com¬ 
mittee from each town, and as many members as 
possible shall be present. The Executive Com¬ 
mittee of the Horticultural Society is also invited 
to meet with us at that time. Returns should be 
made early in the day from those who have been 
procuring memberships. H. C. White, Sec'y.

PALMER AND WILLIAMS’ SELF-RAKING 
REAPER. 
T HIS Machine was patented July 1st, 1851, and has been 
thoroughly tested the two past years. It is very sim¬ 
ple in construction, having only one entire cog wheel and 
one pinion in the whole machine. The driving wheel is 
about 4 feet, and the ground wheel 30 inches in diameter; 
are so arranged as entirely to obviate the side draft, and 
hence a single team can manage it with speed and ease. 
The knife or sickle is scolloped, and cannot be clogged in 
any kind of grain. The grain is raked off so as to be out 
of the way of the team in repnssing, and is in good shape 
for binding. Tlie size of the sheaf is perfectly under the 
control of the driver. By a simple movement of his foot, 
he can throw the rake in and out of gear. If, however, he 
pays no attention to it, then the raking off will be done at 
regular intervals. In backing, the entire machine is 
thrown out of gear, and ceases to operate. We are the 
exclusive manufacturers of this Reaper for the harvest of 
1853, and have been extensively engaged for several years 
in the manufacture of agricultural implements, aud have 
examined the working of several Reapers, and received 
proposals for building others, but consider this far supe¬ 
rior to them all. Such is our confidence in its superiority 
that we now have one hundred of them in course of nianu- 
facture, and shall be ready to deliver them on orders by 
the 1st day of June. We warrant the Reaper well made 
of good materials, durable with proper care, and capable 
of cutting better than by ordinary cradling, from 15 to 20 
acres of standing grain per day, laying it iu gavels for 
binding. 
Appended are a few certificates of its operations: 
Janesville, Wisconsin, Jan. 12, 1853. 
Messrs. Palmer & Williams, Gents :—After receiving 
your Reaper I laid mine aside, and finished my harvest 
with yours, (40 acres.) It is a perfect self-raker, it cuts 
the grain perfectly iu all conditions, and rakes it off out of 
the way of tlie team in ropassing. It runs lighter than 
any reaper I have ever used, two horses managing it with 
ease. Farmers can now rely upon a Self-Railing Reaper, 
that will work to their satisfaction. H. P. CULVER. 
Batavia, October 6, 1852. 
Mr. Palmer, Sir :—I have cut 70 acres of wheat with 
the Reaper I purchased of you. Much of it was heavy 
and lodged. It cut it in the neatest manner and raked it 
oft' better than it could have been done by hand, leaving 
the grain ready to bind. I only used one span of horses 
and cut nine acres and a half in 3 hours and 55 minutes. 
I cut nineteen and a half acres per day I believe I can 
cut with one good team, 25 acres per day. I have used 
other kinds of Reapers, but consider yours vastly superior 
to all otlirs; in a word, it is easy for a team, does the work 
well, and is a verv great saving of labor and grain. 
Yours, &c., C. R. BRINKERHOOF. 
Batavia, N. Y., Oct. 25; 1852. 
Messrs. Williams & Palmer, Gents.:—W e, the under¬ 
signed, saw the Reaper (known as “ Williams & Palmer’s 
Self-Raking Reaper,”) in full work in C. R. Brinkerhocrfs 
wheat field, in the last harvest, in this town and we are 
glad of the opportunity to express our entire approbation 
in the work done, both in cutting the grain and raking it 
off the machine. We were surprised with its simplicity, 
and could not but admire the ease with which the raking 
part is controlled.

Sweden, Jan. 1, 1853. 
Messrs. J. Ganson & Co.:—I have examined the Self- 
Raking Reaping Machine now being buik by you. I have 
had a good deal of experience in harvesting grain with a 
Reaper, usually cutting my own grain, from 100 to 150 
acres per year, and am free to say that I consider Palmer 
& William's Self-Raking Machine the best Reaper I have 
ever seen. F. P. ROOT. 
Brockport, Jan. 1, 1853. 
Messrs. J. Ganson & Co., Sirs :—I cut with the Self- 
Raking Machine 1 had of Palmer and Willians, in the 
last harvest, about 80 acres of wheat; some of it was bad¬ 
ly lodged. I have tried several reapers, but consider yours 
vastly superior to any I have ever used. The raking off 
was well done- It drops the grain in good shape for bind¬ 
ing, without leaving a trail. The cutting is done without 
clogging and the draft I think full one-third easier for a 
team than the ordinary reaper. IS A AC PALMER. 
Springfield, Ohio, July 2, 1852. 
Mr. Palmer:—T his certifies that we were the binders 
of the grain on the final trial of Reapers, by the Ohio State 
Agricultural Society, and that it is our opinion that Pal¬ 
mer & Williams’ Self-Raking Reaper left the grain in the 
best manner for binding of any Reaper on the ground, and 
that it done all its work equal to any of them.

IMPROVED SWINE FOR SAFE. 
THE Subscriber having been engaged twenty 
gfffWf years in rearing aud breeding swine, has finally 
produced a breed equal, if not superior, to any 
in the United States, for both pedigree and quality. They 
are bred from the best specimens of LeiceStershiere, Lin¬ 
colnshire and Byfield,—the last cross from a pure Suffolk. 
A description of them would be—a pure white, having 
110c a particle of black scurf on the skin, great length of 
body, holding their size well from end to end, small heads 
and legs, the pork of the finest texture, having very thin, 
tender skin. With regard to fattening, they are always 
ready to kill from three weeks okl: if well fed they attain 
a vveierht of from two to three hundreds pounds at nine 
months old. 
Tim numerous applications for my stock of hogs for 
several years past, has induced me to breed largely the 
past year. I have about one hundred pigs at present for 
sale, and shall continue m breed them at all seasons of the 
.war. having conveniences for so doing. I will ship them 
co any part ot the United States, by railroad or canal, care- 
fully boxed and labeled, with sufficient feed. The prices 
will be from ten to fifteen dollars each, at from six to ten 
weeks old. GEORGE SHEFFER.

TD FARMERS.—THE PLOW REGULATOR! 
~Y17"U. 1 uuUi rsigned, having used Harvey Sprague’s 
^ f Improved Plow Regulator, and tested it to our sat¬ 
isfaction, have no hesitation in saying that it makes the 
draw hr of a plow from one-eighth to one-fourth easier 
for the team, aud holds one-half easier for the plowman; 
it being so constructed that the whole weight of the plow 
and the furrow resting thereon, rides wholly on the 
wheels. I: also carries the plow much steadier ou uneven 
ground, ami does away with the difficulty, arising from the 
common wneel, in finishing the last furrow of the land._ 
Coit-blc: inc the durable and simple nature of this inven¬ 
tion. wit.ii 1 he many advantages which it possesses over 
other wheels, we would recommend it to all Farmers.
