Colton’s Maps —Are the most popular and 
valuable before the public. Among the many re¬ 
cently introduced, Colton’s “Map of the United 
States and British Provinces, Mexico and the 
West Indies”—showing the country from the At¬ 
lantic to the Pacific Ocean—is worthy of special 
notice and commendation. It is for sale by agents 
in this and other counties of Western New l r ork, 
to whom we direct those wishing to obtain a cor¬ 
rect delineation of the Western World. The map 
merits all that is said of it in the following re¬ 
commendations : 
Buffalo, June 7, 1853. 
Messrs. Johnson & Mansfield : I have examined Colton’s 
Map of the U. S., &c-., which you left for my inspection 
last evening, with ns much care as the limited time would 
permit, and take great pleasure in saying that it seems to 
me to lie accurate and well executed, and that it is better 
calculated to show the relative position and size of the 
various civil divisions of the different portious of our 
whole territory and the adjacent countries, than any other 
map which has fallen under my observation. 
Respectfully yours, 
MILLARD FILLMORE. 
I concur in opinion witii Mr. Fillmore. 
CliAS. E. WEST, ITin. B. F. Academy. 
University of Rochester, June 13, 1853. 
Colton’s Map of the U. S. supplies a great desideratum, 
as it embraces in one view our whole country, and its ad¬ 
jacent countries. The man of business, the scholar, the 
professional man, and the whole people will rejoice in its 
appearance. The high testimonies of its accuracy from 
the President of the U. S., must be satisfactory. 
C. DEWEY, Prof/Nat. Sci. 
Rochester, June 14, 1S53. 
Having been favored with an opportunity of examining 
Colton’s Map of the United States, 1 take pleasure in stat¬ 
ing that I regard it as the most valuable and useful,of any 
tliac 1 have seen. I trust and believe it will have a wide 
circulation. HENRY W LEE, 
Rector of St. Luke’s Church. 
Mr. Colton’s map, besides its well certified accuracy, 
must be welcomed both for the comprehensive view which 
it furnishes of the Western World, and the fresh delinea¬ 
tion it furnishes of territorial division and lines of com¬ 
munication. J. J. VAN INGEN. 
Cambridge, Feb. 17, 1853. 
I have examined Colton's new and large Map of the U. 
States, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, 
and I have no hesitation in saying that, in my opinion,itis 
superior to any other which i have seen, of the same 
country. JAMES WALKER. 
I concur with President Walker in the above opinion of 
Colton's new Map of the United States.

Pearful Accident at Niagara Falls ! 
While closing this number for press, tve hear of 
a sad calamity at Niagara Fails. About 8 o’clock 
Monday evening, a small boat, containing three 
men (from Schlosser) was upset or swamped in 
the rapids, — and two of the men carried over 
the Falls ! The other man saved himself by get¬ 
ting on a log projecting from the water, some 20 
rods below Goat Island,—but up to Tuesday at 5 
P. M. all attempts to rescue him from his perilous 
situation had proved abortive. 
Good News for the Farmers. 
The following telegraphic dispatch from Balti¬ 
more, indicates a rise in Breadstuffs abroad. The 
Franklin’s news has not been received—nor any 
other indication than this of her arrival: 
Baltimore, July 19.—The favorable advices for 
breadstuffs by the Franklin has caused holders to 
advance 25 cents per bbl. on flour. Wheat has 
alone improved four cents per bushel, and corn is 
tending upward. 
Discomfort at the Crystal palace. 
A New York correspondent of the Boston Tran¬ 
script speaks thus of the Crystal Palace : 
l T ou will be surprised to know that the hottest 
place in New York is, perhaps, the Crystal Pal¬ 
ace. Sheltered from any stray sea breeze by the 
huge reservoir which frowns over it and exposed 
on all sides to the direct rays of the sun, its ex¬ 
tensive surface of iron and glass seems to attract 
and concentrate within it all the heat that the at¬ 
mosphere contains. This is a result not unex¬ 
pected, but very troublesome. Ventilators have 
been placed along the top and the bottom of the 
glass walls, but still the air within is hot and al¬ 
most stifiiDg. 
When night comes, the heated air within is 
condensed upon the glass walls, and water runs 
down iu copious streams; so that it has been 
found necessary, even on these sultry days, to 
build fires in some parts of the structure, in order 
to dry the moisture. How often the plans of 
scientific men are ruined by reason of their igno¬ 
rance or carelessness iu regard to a very common 
phenomenon of nature. How the directors will 
now manage to cool their Palace is the great ques¬ 
tion. The prospect is that the ice cream saloons 
and drinking saloons of all qualities, which line 
the Sixth avenue, facing the Palace, will invite the 
perspiring curiosity-seeker, as he puffs his way out 
of the hot glass-house, with as profitable results 
as the Crystal speculators themselves. 
Fire at Little Falls. —A serious fire occurred 
at Little Falls on the 13th inst. It broke out in 
the paper mill of the Messrs. Richmond, between 
11 and 12 o’clock A. M. Thewhole mill was de¬ 
stroyed— loss from 10,000 to 12,000 dollars, in¬ 
sured about one half. The machine shop known 
as the Rockton Foundry, was also burned—it was 
owned by Judge Loomis, whose loss is about $5,- 
000. The flax mill of E. T. Hovey, was destroy¬ 
ed— covered by insurance. Stocking factory of 
Gray & Barber — loss $4,000, insured $2,800. 
Total loss about $20,000—insured about $10,000. 
Army Bird. —The Sparta Journal, published in 
Sparta, Illinois, says:—North of us, the army 
bird lias destroyed entire fields. These birds, like 
the army worm, travel in immense numbers, and 
destroy the wheat as they go. In our own neigh¬ 
borhood, we notice many acres which apparently 
would not pay the farmer for reaping. The corn 
and other crops are also suffering from the con¬ 
tinued drought and excessive heat.

good lots on hand. Corn Meal is steady at §1,25. 
Grain—A quiet market for wheat, with no white offer¬

considered a fair market quotation, being far above the

better. The receipts are small. Sales at 08$e for round 
yellow and good Western mixed. Oats are quiet but firm.

fCfU The President has grown fat in his “ fat 
office.” He looks ten years younger than when 
we last saw him, beudiog with white lips over 
the mighty dead at Marshfield. His Crystal Pal¬ 
ace speech, was respectable in matter, and correct¬ 
ly and gracefully delivered. The cheers given the 
President were cold and formal—entirely wanting 
in the enthusiasm with which the presence, or the 
names, of Jackson, Clay, and Webster were always 
greeted.—iV. Y Mirror. 
jjgT 1 The railroad debts of certain cities give tbe 
following amount to each inhabitant; Philadel¬ 
phia, $20 ; Pittsburgh, $31; Wheeling, $55 ; Bal¬ 
timore, $43 ; St. Louis and county $30 ; Cincin¬ 
nati, $7; Louisville, $25; New Orleans, $28; 
Covington, $17 ; Chillicothe, $7 ; Marietta, $20 ; 
Milwaukee, $20. This gives a pretty good idea 
of the extent to which subscriptions to railroads 
have been carried. There must be a day of set¬ 
tlement before long. 
5£§p”A writer in tbe New York papers denies 
that the Arabia has beaten the Artie in the time 
made across the Atlantic, contending that the lat¬ 
ter is ahead, notwithstanding she carries five or six 
times more freight than her competitor. There is 
no doubt about this last assertion—as all the 
American steamers are much more heavily laden 
than the English ones are. 
jgf“A steamer had arrived at London, July 
1st, from Australia, with 83,500 oz. gold dust. 
The cost of provisions in Australia had reached a 
fright ful height, with no present prospects of any 
abatement. The price of all kinds of goods was 
also extremely high. 
jg§T°A letter in the London Times explains a 
process for extracting fifteen per cent, of valuable 
oil from tbe seed of tbe tobacco plant. The dis¬ 
covery was made in Russia, and is considered 
commercially very important. 
g^”One locomotive on the Rochester, Lock- 
port and Niagara Falls Railroad, on the 4th of 
July, passed through this place for the west, car¬ 
rying 1,300 passeugers iu one train. The return 
train numbered 1,100 passengers .—Lockport Cour. 
The editor of the New Orleans Picayune 
has been shown a sample of salt taken from a 
salt lake near Corpus Christi, Texas. It was 
clear, clean, well crystalized, and of excellent 
taste. The supply is said to be inexhaustible. 
Rural New-Yorker Office, ) 
Rochester, July 20, 1853. j 
The busy hum of the harvesters is heard on every side 
and as the farmer toils to secure the golden grain, which 
is to repay his year of toil, little he heeds market or mark¬ 
et towns. As the well filled sheaf is safely deposited iu 
the capacious barn, ho must needs turn over the weekly- 
paper to ascertain the prospects of obtaining a good price 
for his productions. 
The prospect of a w-ar on the eastern Continent has af¬ 
fected the market somewhat, and visions of higher prices 
haunt the iparket places. A war on the borders of the 
Mediterranean, would in a measure, cut off supplies from 
that quarter, and enhance the price of American wheat, 
corn, and flour. We have no desire for such a state of af¬ 
fairs, but suppose our farmers would willingly pocket the 
increased price consequent upon a rupture of peaceful re¬ 
lations between the Emperor of Russia and the Sublime 
Porte. 
At present so little is offered that piices are merely 
nominal, though we observe no indications of a decline.— 
By another w-eelc there may be some indication of the 
price to be paid this fall for the coining crop. We omit 
quotations for the week except our usual list.

tra brands is not active, but holders evince more firmness,

SEYJIOLK’S PATENT GRAIN BRILL. 
I t HIS is emphatically the Premium Drill of our coun¬ 
try, having taken the first premium at every Fair of 
the New York State Agricultural Society, since its first in¬ 
troduction, in 1849, including the highest prize and diplo¬ 
ma, at the great trial of Agricultural Implements, made 
by tills Society, at Geneva, in July, 1852. 
The following are among the advantages this Drill pos¬ 
sesses over other Grain Drills, viz.:—It sows all grain and 
seeds, from peas and corn to grass seed, as well as any oth¬ 
er Drill sows wheat, not failing thus to perform iu sowing 
even beet or carrot seed; and it is difficult to clog it with 
any of the trash and foul stuff commonly found iu grain, 
such as straw, chaff', stems of tare or other weeds, or even 
the heads of Canada thistles, too frequently found in the 
grain. It will also sow any grain soaked and rolled in 
lime, plaster, ashes, guano, pouderette, &e., &c. It also 
sows lime, plaster, ashes and all dry fertilizers which are 
flue enough to pass through the machine. 
Whatever it will sow in drills it will just as readily sow 
broadcast by removing the drill tubes, which is very easily- 
done. It is remarkably simple in its construction, and 
very durable. It is easily- understood and kept in order by 
common laborers, or repaired by common mechanics, 
such as are at hand in nearly every neighborhood or town. 
The price is but little in advance of any other approved 
grain drill, and quite below that charged for many which 
are far less adapted to the wants of the farmer or planter 
than this,—and, in view of its utility, simplicity, conven¬ 
ience and durability, it is believed to be by far the cheap¬ 
est drill in the world. This drill is made small enough to 
be drawn by hand for garden purposes, when ordered. 
All communications in relation to machines, or the right 
to manufacture, promptly attended to.

GARDEN OR FIRE ENGINE. 
T HE Subscribers manufacture, and furnish to order, 
a Garden or Fire Engine, which for its power, capaci¬ 
ty and usefulness cannot be surpassed. From the size of 
the Air Chamber, sufficient power is obtained to enable 
one man to throw a steady stream of water to the height 
of 50 feet perpendicularly, thereby rendering it a desira¬ 
ble article as a protection against fire, for washing win¬ 
dows of second and third stories of buildings, carriages, 
&c. With our newly invented Water Diffuser, as a Gar¬ 
den Engine it defies competition : the Diffuser is a perfect 
and simple article, (which we intend to get patented,) and 
its superiority over the Rose Sprinkler, is that it will throw- 
four times the quantity of water a much greater distance, 
and spread it perfectly even, with less power applied. 
N. 15.—A Garden Engine with a Diffuser of the above 
description, used in orchards and gardens, to throw soap¬ 
suds on the young trees, will destroy many kinds of ver¬ 
min likely to destroy the fruit, and be an invaluable addi¬ 
tion to the implements of the nurseryman and horticul¬ 
turist. COWING & CO.

LABOR SAVED! 
nOHA’S PATENT CORN SHELLER. 
riUIIS Slieller is pronounced by competent judges, to be 
JL superior to all others, as it is quite simple and dura¬ 
ble in its construction, and shells the ear perfectly clean 
from end to end, with great rapidity and ease. It sepa¬ 
rates tlie cob from tlie corn, which is a very great advan¬ 
tage, and is adapted to either hand or horse power, and 
capable of shelling from 36 to 40 bushels per hour. It has 
shelled a bushel in a minute, by hand power. It runs as 
light, with one man to turn, us the common hand shellers. 
From the peculiar construction of the cylinder and springs, 
it will shell large and small ears perfectly clean at the 
same moment, of either new or old corn, an advantage not 
possessed by the multitude of shellers in general use. 
This machine has met with the universal approbation 
of all classes of men wherever introduced. If. was award¬ 
ed tlie First Premium, a heavy SILVER MEDAL, at the 
great Fair of the Maryland Institute, held iu Baltimore, 
October, 1856. 
It also received the iiigiiest premium which was award¬ 
ed at the great Agricultural State Fair of Pennsylvania, 
held at Harrisburg, October, 1851. Also, at tiie State Fair 
of Kentucky, iu 1852. 
From the great number of recommendations in its favor, 
we have room only for the following : 
From the Hon. J. C. Dickey, Member of Congress, from 
Pennsylvania. 
Washington City, March 3, 1851. 
I take pleasure in certifying that I have on various oc¬ 
casions, seen in operation Mr. J. Mumma’s Patent Corn 
Slieller, and that it appeared to me to shell much faster, 
and do the work cleaner and better than any machine of 
which I have any knowledge. JESSE C. DICKEY’. 
From J. W. Davies, Corn Merchant. 
Baltimore, November 5, 1850. 
Mr. E. Robinson —Sir : Having seen in operation Mr. J. 
Mumma’s Patent Corn Slieller, 1 take pleasure in stating, 
that I consider it a superior sheller to any other now in 
use, as it leaves the corn unbroken , and consequently, more 
suitable for shipping or market. J. W. DAVIES. 
From several Gentlemen, Practical Farmers of Pennsyl¬ 
vania, who have tlie machine in use. 
YVe, the undersigned, after using Mamma's Patent Corn 
Sheller, can recoin mend it to the farming community as 
having been found equal in every respect to what it is rep¬ 
resented to be. It is, indeed, a labor-saving invention, and 
therefore of incalculable benefit to those who may have 
use for such machines.

Mumma, and that I,consider it much the best of any with 
which I am acquainted. J. H. HILLS,

of the kind we have ever seen. COWING & CO.

soil Cultivator! 
T HE Thistle Digger and Subsoil Cultivator is, owing to 
its peculiar construction, particularly adapted to pul¬ 
verizing the soil and destroying all thistles, noxious weeds 
and grass. It will work in any soil, the harder the hot¬ 
ter. It is so arranged that the blade may be raised and 
lowered, and made to move the soil to any required depth, 
and by cutting up every thing in its way, has a decided 
advantage over the Wheel Cultivators whose use it is fast 
superceding. 
Tiie following gentlemen, who are all practical Farmers, 
have used the Thistle Digger and Subsoil Cultivator oil 
their farms, and cheerfully concur in recommending it.

ATKINS’ SELF>RAKIN 7 G REAPER, 
rums MACHINE is now offered to the public and war- 
ranted to be a good Self-Raking Reaper. It is also 
believed to be a good mower, but not yet having been suf¬ 
ficiently tested in grass (though it soon will he) it is not 
warranted to be equal to a machine made mainly or wholly 
to mow. 
The raking apparatus is of novel and very simple con¬ 
struction, and not liable to derangement, and every farmer 
who lias seen it in the harvest field, says it performs tlie 
raking better than a man can possibly do it. 
Price of machines at Chicago, $175, of which, $75 must 
be paid on giving the order, §56 upon successful trial, and 
§56 in note payable 1st Dee. 
The machines are most thoroughly built and warranted.
