MOORE’S RURAL 
NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Severe Thunder Storm in .New York. 
A very severe thunder storm occurred in New 
York city and vicinity on Friday evening last, 
doing immense damage to property and causing 
the death of several persons. The following is 
the t>.legraphic account of the disaster : 
Dr. McLean’s Church in South street, and the 
Dutch Reformed iu 4th street, were almost de¬ 
molished. The Methodist, in Leonard street, the 
Catholic Church, iu Grand street, were unroofed 
and otherwise damaged. Three rope walks were 
completely destroyed. An immense quantity of 
glass was broken by the hail, which tell as large 
as hens’ eggs. 
At Williamsburg, many houses were unroofed, 
thrown down, or otherwise damaged. A thunder 
gust passed over the upper part ot YV iiliamsburgh, 
doing great damage. 
A large building belonging to Mr. Townsend, 
on which 40 or 50 men were at work was blown 
down, and several persons killed and injured.— 
Three were taken from the ruins dead. 
The Crystal Palace was much injured. The 
glass was broken by the hail; iron works bent, 
and a good deal of damage done by the water. 
A building in course of erection on 9lh Avenue 
was blown down and several workmen injured, 
and one man who was passing instantly killed. 
The lightning struck in various places. A 
thunder bolt struck iu a lumbei yard in Williams¬ 
burg!), scattering the board in all directions.— 
Several persons were severely injured hv being 
struck by hail stonps during the storm. 
In tl.o course of the evening a man named 
Conrad Deitz was struck, in New York city, 
while walking on 10th Avenue aud instantly 
killed. 
Late Counterfeits. 
5 ’s on the City Bank, Buffalo, N. Y., altered 
from ones — vig. a sailor boy sitting on a ship’s 
deck holding an eye-glass in his hand. 
10’s and 20’s on the City Bank, Buffalo, N. 1., 
altered from two’s—vig. an Indian queen looking 
over a distant city, with a river, canal, railroad aud 
steamboats—said to be admirably done. 
5’s on the Bank of North America, Conn.,— 
vig. large figure 5 with two female figures—Wash¬ 
ington on right end—head on the left end figure 
5 each side of vig.—not like genuine. 
ID’s on the Bank of Geneva, N. Y., altered from 
l’s—vig. man, Ac.,—Washington on the right— 
well done. 
10’s on the City Bank, Hartford, Conn.,—letter 
C—said to be an excellent imitation.

genuine.

Labor in Virginia. 
A WJasitin'otox correspondent of the New York 
Journal of Commerce, who has been on an ex¬ 
cursion down the Rappahannock says : 
“ I noticed that labor appeared to be scarce and 
high, and there is, in fact, a general complaint in 
Virginia, of the scarcity of labor—owing to the 
emigration of so many proprietors with their 
slaves. Good cradlors, whether black or white, 
commanded readily two dollars a day,—a high 
price in proportion to the low rate of the produce 
market. Looking at the character of the labor in 
the harvest, I could but notice a great change 
within the last thirty years. There is among the 
slaves, more of free black aud much more of white 
labor than formerly. A few foreign laborers, 
German and Irish, are, it is said, uow coming in¬ 
to the country. 
It is very clear to me that the time is to come, 
and is not very far off, when in this part of the 
country, slaves will be retained chiefly for house 
servants, while labor in the field, as well as in ail 
mechanical employments, will bo free, and, for 
the most part, white.” 
A Noble Monument. —To honor the memory 
of the late Duke of Wellington, a magnificent 
School is to be established, at which children of 
Army officers are to be admitted free of charge. 
The Queen heads the subscription with $5,000; 
Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge (the 
Queen’s uncle) follow with $2,500 each ; and 
there are several subscriptions ranging from $500 
to $1,000. The entire subscription already 
amounts to $ 100 , 000 , aud will probably be in¬ 
creased to 500,000. Isn’t this better than a pyra¬ 
mid of useless granite ?—V. Y. Tribune. 
By the 20th ult., ten days before the ex¬ 
piration of the second quarter of the year, the ac¬ 
counts of about all the postmasters in the United 
States, upwards of twenty thousand. Were received 
at the General Post Office. Each return was 
opened, the balance recorded, and other action 
thereupon, preliminary to its being sent to the 
Auditor for settlement on the 23d inst., one hund¬ 
red and sixty bags of valuless dead letters were 
destroyed at Monument Place. About nine- 
tenths of all the money found in dead letters is 
now restored to its lawful owners by the Depart¬ 
ment 
Ante-Nuptial Debts.— The Legislature of 
New York passed a law at its recent session ex¬ 
empting the property of the husband from the 
debts of the wife which may have been contract¬ 
ed before marriage. The same body passed a law 
in 1848 exempting the property of the wife from 
being taken for her husband’sdebtscontracted be¬ 
fore marriage. 
The Wink Crop ok the United States. —In 
1840 the wine crop of this country was 124,000 
gallons. In 1820 it was 221,246 gallons, being an 
increase of almost a hundred per cent, in ten years. 
The amount imported last year was 6,160,000 
gallons — an amount which our country will be 
able to supply for its own consumption in six 
years, even at the present rat« of increase. 
The Cayuga Marshes. —The Board of Land 
Commissioners have appointed William A. Per¬ 
kins, under the general direction of the State En¬ 
gineer, to make critical examination of the ob¬ 
structions in Seneca river, and report a plan for 
removing them, so that the Cayuga marshes may 
be effectually drained. 
The Fastest Yet.— An Express Train on the 
Pennsylvania Rail Road, a few days since, ran ten 
miles in seven minutes and a half. This is nt the 
rate of eighty miles an hour ! It is needless to 
say that the ten miles of road was perfectly straight 
and level. 
zw The proposition for a Constitutional Con¬ 
vention did not succeed in the Connecticut Legis¬ 
lature. 
Frequency o.f Sarthquakes. 
A correspondent of the Now York Cour¬ 
ier, who keeps hourly thermometrical ob¬ 
servations, says that earthquakes produce 
changes in the atmosphere that rosts upon 
the earth, and exert an inliuenee upon it to 
a greater and wider extent than persons 
who are not in the habit of observing the 
phenomena in collection with atmospheric 
changes have generally supposed. IIo re¬ 
marks : 
“ Within the field of our research, during 
a period of fifteen months, commencing 
with January, 1851, and ending with March 
1853, (four hundred and fifty-five consecu¬ 
tive days,) wo have recorded earthquakes 
that have been active on one hundred and 
seventeen of these days, on each of which 
the phiceand places whore the earthquakes 1 
were felt are particularly stated, and the 
day of the month also. In addition to these 
thus particularly specified, we have record¬ 
ed many earthquakes during the same fif¬ 
teen months : the places where they were 
felt are stated, but the day of the month 
could not be acertaiued from tho published 
accounts ; and others also, in considerable 
numbers, where neither the day of the 
month or the month of tho year is mention¬ 
ed, but which were within tho said fifteen 
months. 
Tho field of our research embraces but a 
small portion of the globo. Large districts 
of our earth are uninhabited, and of tho in¬ 
habited districts there are many where there 
are no intelligent minds to observe and 
make record of the phenomena, and others 
where there are no newspapers to convey 
intelligence. 
The conclusions wo have arrived at from 
these observations, made without any inter¬ 
ruption for a series of years, is that all the 
great and sudden changes of tho tempera¬ 
ture of tho atmosphere are produced by the 
earth, and these changes affect those who 
breathe it both physically and mentally, to 
a greater or less extent.” 
N. Y. State Agricultural College. 
This Institution was chartered by the Legisla¬ 
ture of the State of New York, for the purpose of pre¬ 
senting to Agriculturists the means for acquiring a 
knowledge of the Arts and Sciences appropriate to their 
vocation ; to prepare Students for practical, active labor, 
by training the mind ic a system which shall inculcate an 
intimate acquaintance with the sciences essential to agri¬ 
cultural success. 
To insure the development of principles and their ap¬ 
plication to the soil, the Legislature has required the pur¬ 
chase of not less than three hundred acres of land. 
The Trustees, having accepted tire trust confided to 
them by tire Legislature, organized the State Agricultural 
College, by the following appointments: 
JOHN 1)K LA FI ELL), President of the College. 
Hon. JOHN A. KING, Ch'u of the Hoard of Trustees. 
JOEL VV. BACON, Secretary. 
N. B. KIDDER, Treasurer. 
At a meeting of the Board, on the 4tli of June, a Re¬ 
port was presented by B. P. Johnson, from a Special 
Committee, on tiie Location of tire College, declaring 
“that after an examination of the Oaklands rarm in Sen¬ 
eca County, they are entirely satisfied that the price asked 
for it, is its fair value in the market, for farming purposes, 
that it is, by previous preparation, by position and variety 
of soil, in every respect adapted to the objects of the Insti¬ 
tution; that the title is perfect, and recommend that the 
chain of title be entered at large on tbe minutes of the 
Hoard,” &c. This farm is situated midway between 
the market towns of Waterloo aud Geneva, and in full 
view of the Seneca Lake, and overlooking the vil.age ol 
Geneva; elevated about 125 feet above the lake, it is free 
from causes disturbing health; its soil varies from a strong 
clay to a sandy loam, presenting varieties sufficient for 
testing by experiment every doubtful question iu relation 
to soils, and to exhibit the most approved system of culti¬ 
vation. 
The Trustees are prepared to receive from Farmers and 
friends of agriculture, proposals for the Capital Stuck of 
the Institution, which will be distributed in shares of fifty 
dollars each, payable 
JO per cent on Subscribing. 
40 “ 1st July. 
50 “ 1st October. 
The Trustees may be addressed (post-paid) at their re¬ 
spective residences, as follows : 
Hon. John A. King, Jamaica, Queens County. 
Henry Wager, Westernvilie, Oneida « 
B. P. Johnson, Agricultural Rooms, Albany.

Joel W. Bacon, Waterloo, Seneca Co. 
Tallmadge Delafikld, Geneva, Ontario Co. 
Wm. Buel, Rochester, Monroe Co. 
John Delafikld, Oaklands, Seneca Co. 
Tlie Officers of the College will endeavor to present 
subscription books in each County, that the College, so 
entirely agricultural and peculiarly the Farmer’s institu¬ 
tion, may find its support widely diffused throughout the 
State. 
The President will, upon application to him, give all 
needful information iu relation to the ordinances, rules 
and regulations of the College, and the courses of instruc¬ 
tion to be pursued. 
By order of the Board of Trustees, 
JOEL VV. BACON, Secretary.

Rochester, July 6, 1853. J 
For the week past tlis market presented no unusual an¬ 
imation. With the great mass of American people, the 
National Anniversary absorbs for a week at the time at 
which it occurs, so much of time and attention, little else 
! s thought of or done. 
This rsespecially true of many farmers who-are among th e 
most patiotic of our citizens. Throngs have visited the 
city, hut very few of the number were on business i: tent> 
and very li tie heavy produce lias Veen brought forward. 
Flour—T he trade continue to take all the small lots offer¬ 
ing from country mills at rates heretofore named. The 
trade is not brisk. 
Grain—B ut little wheat has been offered, effecting no 
change in prices. $1.17@1.I8 is the limit of the market 
for prime Genesee, at which prices it sells readily. Corn 
is scarce and wanted at 63@S5e. Oats sell in small parcels 
at 40@ i2c. 
Provisions.—V ery few sales of barreled or cut meats, and 
no change in prices to note. Market household supplies 
are abundant. Butter plenty at 12)£c per lb.; some extra 
rolls bring more for family use. Eggs are sought for at 
lie per doz. Potatoes abundant at 23@31e per bushel. 
Beef Cattle.—T he supply of grass fed is moderate, 
and is purchased at $ 1,5005 to $5,50 as in quality. Stall 
fed is scarce, and brings $506 per hundred. 
Sheep and Lambs.—V ery few fat sheep are offering.— 
Lambs are found with difficulty and bring from $3,50 to 
$2,25. 
Wool—T he season is drawing to a close. The supply 
lias been limited with not quite the usual number of buyers. 
Competition lias not been brisk, though prices have been 
well maintained. The range has been from 40 to 55c, and 
in some instances a shade better.

Important to Farmers 
PORTABLE MILL. 
[From the Ohio Farmer, December 2,1852.] 
I ) OSS’ Improved Patent Conical Burr Mill Stones.— 
U Our readers will 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 work with great rapidity and 
perfection. It may be used for grinding the coarsest food 
for cattle, or the finest meal fur 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. 
MV. Ross is, we believe, a resident of Rochester, N. Y.

Mill can he obtained by letter, post-paid, or by calling at

SEYMOUR & MORGAN’S DA TENT 1 
NEW YORK REAPER, FOR 1863. | 
fFUiE great value and importance of the Reaper to Grain 
X Growers of the world, is established beyond a ques¬ 
tion of doubt. Frequent tests have been made before 
Agricultural Societies both in this country and in Eng¬ 
land, proving the Reaper to save in a single harvest its 
first cost to tbe purchaser, over the ordinary way of cut¬ 
ting grain. Probably no implement is as valuable to the 
farmer where any considerable quantity of grain is raised, 
as the Reaping Machine 
At tiie present time there are several very good Ma¬ 
chines before tbe Public, nnti now the question seems to 
be—which is tbe best r We claim precedence for ours, 
considering some of tbe follow ing principles embodied iu 
our Patents, that are essential to a Reaper and can not be 
found in any other Machine ; which enables us to offer to 
the farmers of the United Slates a 
Superior and Perfsct Eeaping Machine, 
which, tor durability, exactness of construction, perfect 
manner of cutting grain, case with which it may be work¬ 
ed, and lightness of draught lias 
NEVER BEEN EQUALLED! 
1st. The cutter bar is placed nearly on a line with the 
axles of the driving-wheel, and nearly opposite (lie driv¬ 
ing-wheel is ihe ground-wheel, which being thirty inches 
in diameter, lessens the labor w hich has heretofore been 
performed in working such Machines, and does aw ay with 
all difficulty in backing and turning. 
2d. I'he knife or sickle is scalloped and in sections, 
which cannot be clogged; and iu case of accident can bo 
repaired by any good Blacksmith. 
3d. The man in discharging the grain stands on the rear 
of the platform, where lie has his work before him and 
can perform it in a perfectly natural and easy manner; 
and also from the construction of the attendant’s stand he 
may change his position according to tiie length and 
amount of straw cut. 
4th The now aud improved combination box, contain¬ 
ing ihe smaller gear, combines great strength and dura- 
btitly, with perfect simplicity of arrangement, preventing 
any displacement or twisting of the gearing; in this it 
possesses great advantages over any other similar Machine 
and so far as wo know, there have been no failures in the 
large number made. 
. 6th. The lightness of Ihe Machine, anil mainly of the 
side draught or pressure, which beiug obviated, enables a 
single team to pass with it over uneven ground with speed 
and ease. 
M e make our acknowledgments to the farmers for that 
generous confidence we have labored so diligently to sus¬ 
tain ; and encouraged by the past, we hate again com¬ 
menced the manufacture of a large number for 1853, 
which w e sell under a strong “ warranty.” The Reaper 
shall be well made, of good materials, durable with proper 
care, can cut from 15 to 20 acres per day with one spall of 
horses, and do the work better than done by ordinary 
cradling, or no sale ! 
Innumerable certificates might be given of the great val¬ 
ue of this Machine, but our Reaper is so well known, we 
deem it unnecessary. By reference to t he Reports of our 
State Agricultural Society, on the trial of Reaprs, held at 
Geneva, N. Y., in July last, it will be seen this Machine cut 
a given amount in about three-fifths of the average time of 
other Reapers. The following gentlemen are Agents for 
the sale of the New York Reaper, and any orders received 
by them will be filled in due season : 
S G Williams, Esq., of Janesville, Wig., is our General 
Agent for the West, and is authorized to appoint sub- 
Agents, except in Ohio and Southern Indiana. 
Wm Bosworth, is General Agent for the State of Ohio 
except a few counties. Messrs. Warder & Brokaw, of 
Springfield, Ohio, have the exclusive right to make aud 
vend for Southern Indiana, north to the 40th deg. of lat. 
running east to the Ohio Canal, including the south-west 
corner of the State of Ohio.

U’COiOIICK’S PATENT REAPING AND 
MOWING MACHINE! 
W ITH the advantage of large experience, for many 
years, in the exclusive business of making and sell¬ 
ing these machines. 1 have during the last harvest, and 
since Umt time devoted much time and expense in exper¬ 
imenting to perfect my machine ns a reaper-aud mower, 
and am now prepared to warrant this machine superior 
to every other as a reaper and as a mower. The attention 
of Farmers is called to the following Improvements for 
1853: 
1st. Iron Beam for combined machine, which allows 
the grass to pass over more freely, together with improve¬ 
ments in the fingers. 
2d. A sell-adjusting arrangement for mowing, by which 
the beam rises and falls, ULd thus accommodates itself to 
the inequalities of the ground, which is very important 
for mowing, though entirely unnecessary for reaping. 
3d. Very fine cut sickles for grass. These improve- 
menis insuring the perfect performance of the mower. 
4th. Shortening ihe platform aud placing the raker clos¬ 
er to his work iu reaping. 
5th. A new and beautiful arrangement by which the 
machine may be raised from the ground to any desired 
height in five minutes time, with the main wheel enlarged. 
From the well known reputation of my machine, in the 
hands of more than 7,000 farmers, in this country, and 
that it has maintained its high superiority, wherever it 
has been fairly tested. Having again, after a series of 
trials at ihe last harvest in England, and after a contest 
with Hussey’s, in a trial of nine days, upon the Royal Ag¬ 
ricultural farm, which was tile mosl extended contest ever 
made with Reapers in any country, been declared by the 
able jury of English farmers (see theirreport in my hand¬ 
bill.) decidedly the best machine, capable of cutting when 
the grain was green or ripe, wet or dry, in all weather 
when Hussey’s could not be worked. 
The verdict was that. McCormick’s machine is entitled 
to general patronage, that it was considered next to per¬ 
fect in principle, such as good cutting at any puce of tho 
horses; proper delivery at the side, and economy of both 
house and man labor — an implement that might be de¬ 
pended upon for a harvest by any former. Further testi¬ 
monials of its superiority can hardly be necessary. 
To convince such responsible farmers as are in doubt, 
which is the best machine, and of my entire confidence in 
the superiority of my own, 1 will permit them to take one 
of mine, with one of Hussey's or Burrell s on trial, ro 
keep the one preferred. 
That Manny, Seymour A Morgan, and others, who are 
making and selling my machine, in a changed and in¬ 
jured form, with tiie hope of being able to avoid the re¬ 
sponsibility of infringing my patent, is the best evidence 
of the superiority of my machines. They will all be held 
responsible, and their infringements arrested as soon as 
the law, which is sure, can have its course. Those pur¬ 
chasing and using their machines, become jointly liable 
with them. 
The purchaser of the Reaper and Mower will save $35 
of the expense of a Reaper and Mower if purchased sep¬ 
arately. The machines will be forwarded to any part of 
this State or Canada, if ordered in season of Thomas J. 
Paterson, General Agent, Rochester, N. Y.,—office No. S 
Burns’ Building—subject to freight from Buffalo. Price 
Si 10 cash ; or $115, $30 payable on delivery, and tiie bal¬ 
ance on time, and $25 cash addition, or $30 on time, for 
mowing attachment. A Reaping machine alone, an ex¬ 
cellent article, can be had for $100 cash or $105 on credit, 
for which mowing attachments will be furnished next 
year. C. H. McCORMICK.
