MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
(foreign fnMigmrf. 
Arrival of the Canada. 
The steamer Canada, from Liverpool on Sat¬ 
urday, 21st ult., arrived at Halifax, July 1st.— 
The news is generally unimportant; the excite¬ 
ment consequent on Mr. Crampton’s arrival out 
speedily subsided, and as a Air. Dallas was not 
to be dismissed, the recruiting business was re¬ 
garded as definitely settled, and hopes were 
freely entertained that the Central American 
question would soon be also. Mr. Buchanan’s 
nomination made but little stir. Peace meet¬ 
ings and friendly addresses to America were 
abundant. 
A rumor prevailed that Great Britain will 
send no Minister to Washington during the ad¬ 
ministration of President Pierce. It was how¬ 
ever, merely rumor. 
France. —Louis Napoleon, is taking steps to 
have the Empress appointed regent for her son. 
Italy. —Two or three changes have taken 
place in the Sardinian ministry—the chief one 
beine: the appointment of Gen. La Marmora, to 
the War Department. 
Austria. —It is stated that Marshal Radetsky 
has represented to his Government, that unless 
certain symptoms of excitement in the Lom¬ 
bardo Venetian provinces were quieted he 
should demand an increase there of 30,000 
Austrian troops. 
Denmark.— The treaty of commerce between 
Denmark and the United States, expired on the 
14th of June, and on the 17th the American 
ship Sarah Bryant passed the Sound, bound 
from Cronstadt to New York. She paid the 
Sound Dues, but under protest. 
Russia.— The Russian Government is turning 
attention to its American territory. An impe¬ 
rial decree notifies that to assist the develop¬ 
ment of the Russian naval power, the adminis¬ 
tration of fleets and harbors therein is to be 
placed under the independent control of the 
government of Eastern Siberia. An expedition 
is fitting out at Hamburg by a Russian Ameri¬ 
can company, to sail next month for the Rus¬ 
sian American territory. The expedition is of 
the nature of a new colony, numbering five 
hundred persons. 
The papers say that it appears now settled 
that no grain to speak of will be obtained from 
Russia this season, and hundreds of vessels in 
the Black Sea, which had gone there in antici¬ 
pation of meeting cargoes, may have to return 
empty. 
Liverpool Market. —The market for bread- 
stuffs is firm and prices were a shade higher.— 
Flour was in good demand at an advance of 6d. 
@ls. on the finest qualities. Messrs. Richard¬ 
son, Spence & Co., quote Western Canal at 38 
@38s. 6d.; Ohio 35s. 6d@38s. Wheat 2d per 
bushel higher, with a fair consumptive demand; 
red 9s. 9d@10s. 9d.; white 10s. 6d@lls. 3d.— 
Corn in active demand at ls@ls. 6d. advance, 
with more buyers than sellers. Mixed and 
yellow 30s. Gd@31s.; white 31s. 6d@32s. 8d.— 
Market closed quiet. The weather rainy, and 
the accounts from the agricultural districts were 
generally favorable. 
Arrival of the Baltic. 
The steamer Baltic arrived at New York 
July 6. She left Liverpool at 10 o’clock P. M., 
the 25th. 
A London paper thus summaries news of the 
week as regards American relations :—Judging 
from the country newspapers, we should say 
that the country is delighted with the turn the 
American question has taken. It is surprising 
how much the public has become enlightened 
on the subject by the chief press. Every pa¬ 
per of that class devoted itself to a rational ex¬ 
position of our American difficulties. The 
country also appears pleased with the nomina¬ 
tion of Air. Buchanan. To this our Liverpool 
correspondent adds that the feeling on Ameri¬ 
can affairs has now subsided, so much as to have 
no longer any unsettling effect on the markets, 
although several leading presses keep on grum¬ 
bling. The Times advises Britain to hurry up 
the settlement of the Central American ques¬ 
tion before Buchanan becomes President. 
Advices from Constantinople confirm the 
statement that the Russians had demolished 
the fortifications of Reni and Ismail. The 
Turks recall the declaration of Lord Clarendon 
that these fortifications, should not be injured. 
Italy.— The refugees in Alodeno, Reggio, 
Parma and Tuscany, intend to present an ad¬ 
dress to Count Cavour, and have struck a medal 
in his honor. It is current that the Sardinian 
Government had just issued a note in reply to 
that of Austria. Sardinia denies the imputa¬ 
tion of fostering revolution, but expresses a fear 
that it may break out if the existing govern¬ 
ments do not place themselves at the head of 
the Italian nationality. 
Liverpool AIarkets. — Wheat and flour in 
some inquiry for prime qualities. Flour at full 
prices. Indian corn dull at yesterday’s quota¬ 
tions. Provisions without change. 
Remarkable Cure of Blindness. 
We saw, a day or two since, a remarkable 
case of restoration of eye-sight, the subject 
being an octogenarian gentleman residing in 
this county. Mr. Rufus Warner, of Adams 
Basin, aged 81 years,—a pioneer settler In this 
region, having resided in this part of the State 
for sixty years past,—had become blind from 
cataract, a formidable disease of the eye. Beino- 
still in very firm health, and capable of active¬ 
ly enjoying life, were he not deprived of sight, 
he was anxious to find out some means of cure. 
He was advised to submit his case to Dr. J. B. 
Walker, of this city, a young opthalmic surgeon 
from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 
London, who has in four years’ practice here 
gained an excellent and extended reputation.— 
Air. Warner visited him, and an operation was 
performed about two weeks since, which bids 
fair to be entirely successful. The old gentle¬ 
man is quite elated to find that he can now read 
print as small as the title of our paper, and in 
favorable light can read signs across the street, 
distinguish colors of dress, horses, <fcc., at some 
distance. The cure will undoubtedly progress 
until the venerable patient will again be able 
to enjoy the luxury of distinguishing his friends 
by visual perception, and enjoy the scenes that 
add so much to the happiness of declining life. 
This is one of several marked cases which Dr. 
Walker has treated with decided success in this 
city. He who gives sight to the blind is a ben¬ 
efactor whose fame deserves to be widely ex¬ 
tended that his restoring powers may benefit 
unfortunates in every quarter .—Rochester Dem¬ 
ocrat, June 28. 
Disastrous Tornadoes. 
A fearful tornado passed over several towns 
in the vicinity of Woodstock, Canada West, on 
Sunday,'June 29th, which was attended with 
the loss of several lives and the destruction of a 
great amount of property. Houses were blown 
down and unroofed, barns and fences destroyed, 
forests uprooted, etc., &c. The station house of 
the Great Western Railroad at Eastwood, was 
destroyed, and the station master, his wife and 
child, were killed. Several other persons in 
the vicinity had limbs broken and were other¬ 
wise injured. 
On Monday ihorning, June 30th, between the 
hours of 9 and 10 o’clock, a fearful tornado 
passed over the towns of Constable, Burke and 
Chateaugay, in Franklin county, N. Y., and ex¬ 
tending into Clinton county, doing an incalcu¬ 
lable amount of damage—sweeping down for¬ 
ests, scattering fences, destroying all manner of 
buildings and other property, and leaving noth¬ 
ing but desolation in its track. 
The village of Chateauguay is a complete 
desolation. Not a building escaped injury, and 
a great number are completely destroyed. 
Beyond Chateauguay from sixty to seventy 
buildings were more or less injured. The tor¬ 
nado extended for a distance of from thirty to 
forty miles—perhaps further, and it must have 
injured and destroyed nearly 400 buildings. 
Submarine Feat.— A diver from Buffalo has 
succeeded at last in raising the iron safe of the 
American Express Co., which was sunk in Lake 
Erie at the time of the disaster to the steamer 
Atlantic, in 1852. The diver was encased in 
copper submarine armor, and was under water 
about forty minutes, when he succeeded in 
reaching and fastening the grapplers upon the 
safe at a depth of over one hundred and sixty 
feet of water. The safe contained $17,000 in 
bank notes, $6,000 in Alicliigan State Bonds, 
$5,000 in gold, and about $1,000 in jewelry. 
This is a more difficult feat to perform than 
most people imagine, for the pressure of water 
at that depth is about seventy-five pounds to 
the square inch; or equal to that of steam in a 
high pressure engine. 
Ici, Manufactory. —At the Cuyahoga locomo¬ 
tive works, Cleveland, Ohio, there is an ice 
manufactory, where this article, it is said, is 
produced in merchantable quantities by purely 
artificial means. By means of a steam engine 
and sundry condensers, ether is driven from a 
retort containing about three hundred and fifty 
pounds, between a double range of iron plates, 
through which the water is pumped, and by the 
ether is converted into ice. The arrangement 
is not yet completed, but even now ice can be 
manufactured with the thermometer at 60°, at 
a cost of not more than half a cent, per pound.

Foreign advices continue to favor an advance in bread- 
stuffs and prices have stiffened at all important points of home 
trade. Quotations with us remain as previously reported, hut 
little is doing. Any movement will produce an advance. Corn 
unchanged but Oats are 4c higher. 
Potatoes are improving in price. New hay begins to come 
in and sells from $5 to $S. If well cured it finds a ready sale 
and farmers will find it for their interest to look to this point. 
Our table quotation is for old hay. 
Very little wool is now offered and probably most of it is out 
of first hands. Some lots havo brought in tho street 40 cents, 
but that is abova the general price. Large and choice clips 
have been sold at that figure at home where agents call when 
the amount makes it an object.

COLOMBIAN GUANO—TRY IT. 
From the June Number American Farmer, ( published, in 
Baltimore.) 9 
We call attention to the advertisement of the Philadelphia 
Guano Company, who have recently made a contract with 
the Republic ot Venezuela, by which.they are authorized for a 
series of years, to export the guano from all the Islands be¬ 
longing to that government. As thoso Islands are located in 
the Caribbean Sea, at a short distance—about 1900 miles— 
from our own shores, the cost of freight is comparatively 
trifling, and the article can thereforc.be-furnished at very low 
rates, when compared with the price" demanded for Peruvian 
Guano. 
The guano islands embraced in the contract of this Company 
are numerous, and the character of the deposits to some ex¬ 
tent varies in the proportion of organic matter, ammonia, and 
the phosphates they contain. They are all,, however, as com¬ 
pared with the Peruvian, much richer in the phosphates, and 
less abundantly supplied with organic matter and ammonia.— 
At present we understand the Company design importing only 
that quality designated by the Inspector, Mr. Reese, as Colom¬ 
bian Guano, which is by far. the richest phosphatic guano ever 
yet discovered, containing more than three times the amount 
ot phosphates found in the Peruvian, and much more than is 
found in bone dust, aud Mexican Guano—Peruvian Guano 
rarely contains more than from 15 to 30 per cent, of the hone 
phosphate of lime, and the different brands of the Mexican 
Guano, as inspected at Baltimore, contain from 25 to 67 per 
cent, while the guano marked by the State Inspector Colombian 
letter, A. contains Phosphoric Acid, equal to from 80 to 90per 
cent, of Bone Phosphate of Lime, and the guano marked 
Colombian letter B. contains Phosphoric Acid equal to from 70 
to 80 per cent, of Bone Phosphate of Lime. 
Without entering into the discussion as to the comparative 
value of ammoniacal and phosphatic manures, no one pretends 
to doubt the real value of the latter, while some of the highest 
authorities among men of science, attribute the chief value of 
all guanoes to the phosphates they contain. Be this as it may, 
experience seems to have determined that the phosphatic ma¬ 
nures are of more permanent duration, and that where they are 
less efficient as.to the crop of wheat, they endure longer, ami arc 
more effective in the after growth of clover and grasses. Those 
of course who adopt the views of Prof. Liebig, and other high 
authorities, as to the value of mineral manures, will readily 
admit the great superiority of Colombian Guano over other 
varieties, it being as stated in the U. S. Patent Office report 
for 1854, “by far the richest source of phosphoric acid for ihe 
farmer yet discovered,” ar.d in the word'- of Dr Stewart, the 
'• Ne Plus Ultra ot Phosphatic Guanoes.” 
The virtues of hone dust as a permanent fertilizer are well 
understood, and the ordinary Mexican Guanoes have been ex¬ 
tensively experimented with, and their value acknowledged.— 
Whatever merits these manures possess, must exist in a high 
degree in Colombian Guano, on account of its superior richness 
in the leading fertilizing principle—the phosphates—common 
to them all. 
The difficulty made as to these manures, that they are not 
soluble, and the consequent doubts and apprehensions of far¬ 
mers who are convinced of the value of their main constituent, 
as to their availability in the production of crops, is worthy of 
consideration. 
1. In the use of these manures it would seem, that ultimate¬ 
ly, at any rate, if not immediately, the farmer must reap the 
benefit of their application. They furnish an indispensable 
ingredient of fertility, and necessary constituent of plants: If 
it is not in condition to furnish the food of plants at oncq, it is 
only held in reserve until brought under the influence of sol¬ 
vents, which, sooner or later, are sure to make it available. A 
very observant farmer has said to us within a few days, that he 
will defy any one to find a piece of bone in his soil after the 
second or third year, from tho time of application. Ho uses 
no acid or other solvent, and does not care to have the bones 
ground fine. And let it be remarked that while a quick return 
is more immediately profitable, a slower but certain return is 
much safer for the land. 
2. The solubility of Phosphates greatly depends upon the 
mode in which they are prepared. From good bones finely 
ground a beneficial effect is almost always immediately derived. 
From Mexican Guano some benefit seems always to accrue 
during the first year after its application, as well as on suc¬ 
ceeding crops. 
3. Whatever justice or force there may be in the objection ot 
insolubility as applied to bone dust and Mexican Guano, does 
not rest, it is contended, against the Colombian Guano. It is 
reduced to a fine powder by grinding, and is thus prepared 
perfectly for tho action of any solvent which may exist in, or 
may find its way to the soil. But independent of this it is as¬ 
serted that it contains so large an excess of free phosphoric 
acid, that a sufficient portion for the use of plants during the 
first year after its application is rendered immediately soluble. 
This is questioned, and we give the authorities. 
Dr. Stewart in his analysis states the pe-centage of phos¬ 
phate of lime to be 77.49, and of free phosphoric acid 5.23, 
which latter substance he states would produce to each tun of 
2,000 lbs., “215 lbs. of nascent soluble super-phosphates, be¬ 
sides 1,550 lbs. of the common bone phosphates of other phos¬ 
phatic Guanoes. 
Dr. James R. Chilton, of New York, gives as the resnltof an 
analysis of a specimen recently submitted to him 74.87 percent 
of neutral phosphate of Lime, with a little phosphate of mag¬ 
nesia, and 13.14 per cent, of soluble phosphate of lime, with 6.67 
of organic matter, with ammonia. 
Dr. Hayes, of Boston, states that “it is in fact a kind of 
natural bi-phosphate of lime, by far the most valuable of any of 
those compounds yet discovered, when compared weight with 
weight.” 
Professor James C. Booth, of Philadelphia, in the specimen 
he analysed, found 74.35 of phosphate of lime and magnesia, 
and 9.60 of free phosphoric acid, and he pronounces it “ a re¬ 
markable substance, containing naturally 84 per cent, of dry 
super-phosphate of lime.” He also states that he would “pre¬ 
fer it greatly to any artificial super-phosphate, for any purpose 
to which the latter is applied.” 
On tho other hand, Dr. Piggot, in his communication pub¬ 
lished in our No. of September last says, “ strangely enough, 
the very erroneous opinion was quite commonly entertained, 
that the phosphoric acid in this hard enamelled rock, is com¬ 
bined with lime in proportion to form a super-phosphate,” and 
after stating the results of his analysis, remarks:—“ Tho most 
cursory inspection ot these results, is sufficient to convince any 
one at.'ali acquainted with Chemistry, that the lime cannot be 
united with phosphoric acid, to form a super-phosphate.” 
The analysis of Dr. Bickell, published some time after, if we 
mistake not, sustained the opinion of Dr. Piggot. 
We confess that taking an “outside” view of the matter we 
are at a loss to understand how a solublo phosphate could ac¬ 
cumulate in a region where, if accounts be true, “it never 
rains but it pours.” 
It is worthy of remark, however, in passing, that the highest 
authorities should be at variance on a question of fact which 
it seems to us there should be no difficulty in determining with 
absolute certainty. 
We have thus set before our readers fairly this article of 
Colombian Guano, in its aspect as presented chemically. We 
do not on such a presentation only, however promising, recom¬ 
mend to farmers, an investment in this fertilizer. We have 
some practical results which give us strong hopes that it has 
very high value. 
One farmer who is making several experiments instituted 
last fall, upon wheat, and whoso judgment, we entirely rely 
upon, says that these experiments thus far indicato a decided 
superiority of the Colombian over Peruvian Guano, upon soil 
where the Peruvian has been used with the usual success. 
We hear of other cases of its apparent success, which leads 
us to anticipate that tho best opinions of those who recommend 
it may be realized. And we would say to farmers now, that, it 
would he very well worth their while to make trial of it on a 
small scale at once, and carefully. A few hundred pounds are 
sufficient for experiment, and will enable them U( determine 
whether it will be likely to pay on tho wheat crop in the Fall. 
Try it upon oats at the rate of 300 lbs. per acre, and upon 
other crops at a somewhat larger rate. 
Price $36 to $40 per tun. Every hag will have the following

HAGAR’8 PATENT IMPROVED HARROW ! 
Strong, Simple in Construction , and not Liable to gel 
out of Order. 
This improvement consists in the manner of holding ad¬ 
justable teeth. It is offered to the farming community, with 
the confident assurance of Us cordial reception by every friend 
of improvement. It has received the approval and commen¬ 
dation of agriculturists generally, who have given it their at¬ 
tention, and we believe it is destined to come into general use, 
as soon as its merits are appreciated. It has received the first 
Premium in every case where it has been exhibited, at the 
State Fair at Elmira, State Fair of Maryland, American In¬ 
stitute, New York, and numerous County and other Fairs. 
The advantages of the Harrow are: 1st. The teeth can be 
readily adjusted in an oblique, or, in an up and down position. 
(This is an advantage of no small moment on summer fallow 
or hard soil.) 2d. They can be adjusted to harrow deep or 
shallow. 3d. There is no danger of splitting the rail. 4th. Th3 
teeth cannot get loose. 5th. It will not clog as the common 
drag. 6th. It is more durable—a set of the fastenings will last 
a man his life-time. 7th. Its cheapness—it costs but a trifle 
more than the common harrow. 8th. If a tooth gets broken or 
dull, it can be readily removed, resharpened and used again.

DR. CALVIN M. FITCH, 
Formerly of ? 14 Broadway, New York, author of the Invalid’s 
Guide, Consumptive’s Manual, Ac., having recently returned 
from Europe, would inform his Patients at the West aud all 
interested in the announcement, that he will open on the 1st 
of July a Permanent. 
Office at No. 455) Main street, Buffalo, N. Y. 
where he may be consulted daily, (Sabbath excepted,) from 
nine to five, for THROAT AND PULMONARY DISEASES, 
more particularly CONSUMPTION, ASTHMA AND CHRON¬ 
IC BRONCHITIS, in the treatment of which a judicious com¬ 
bination of Remedial measures, the employment of Mechani¬ 
cal and Constitutional Remedies, and of Medical and Stheno- 
thropic Inhalations, give him a degree of success which can 
never attend a merely partial treatment of these Affections.— 
Dr. FITCH may also be consulted for all derangements of the 
system preceding, or giving ri-e to Pulmonary Diseases, par¬ 
ticularly CATARRH. DYSPEPSIA, COSTIVENESS, AND 
FEMALE COMPLAINTS. Persons wishing to consult, but 
unable to visit Dr. Fitch, can do so by sending him a written 
statement of their case—and Foreigners, unacquainted with 
English, may address him either in French or German. A per¬ 
sonal examination is, however, always preferable, as impor¬ 
tant symptoms are sometimes overlooked by the patient; and 
also as constant practice in consultation enables Dr. F. to de¬ 
termine the condition of the Lnngs with great accuracy; thus 
of course enabling him more successfully to modify and adapt 
treatment to individual cases. 
CONSULTATIONS FREE. 
Dr. C. M. FITCH has associated with himself in practice Dr. 
J. W. SYKES, for a long time his assistant, a gentleman in 
whoso professional ability he has the highest confidence ; and 
he furthermore wishes it distinctly understood that he has no 
longer any professional connection with Dr. S. S. Fitch, but 
that communications will hereieTter be addressed to

HOT WATER WARMING APPARATUS. 
FOR GREEN HOUSES. 
The Subscribers have, at a large expense, perfected an ap¬ 
paratus for effectually Warming Green Houses, however 
large, in the severest weather, and with the most economical 
consumption of fuel. Fully aware of the difficulties which 
Florists and Horticulturists have experienced in their vain en¬ 
deavors to prevent their Plants from freezing on account of 
the imperfect modes of warming now much in use, we have ta¬ 
ken the trouble to give our apparatus a fair test during the 
past winter, (as the following testimonial wilVshow,) and with 
the most satisfactory results. We shall be happy to send, by 
mail, estimates for putting up our apparatus, to all who will 
send us drawings showing ground plan of their Green Houses. 
CHAPIN, TREADWELL & CO. 
Springfield, Mass., May 24, 1856. 
We take pleasure in recommending, unqualifiedly to the 
public, tho Warming Apparatus referred to above by Messrs. 
Chapin, Tread ivell Co. We consider it perfect for the 
purpose designed, and have warmed our Green Houses iu this 
manner during the past severe winter, having no trouble in 
keeping the houses as warm as we desired, while the ther¬ 
mometer ranged from 15 to 24 degrees below zero outside, and 
the fuel consumed, has been less than that required any previ¬ 
ous season. B. K. BLISS & HAVEN.

COMBINED REAPER AND MOWER. 
MANNY PATENT WITH 
WOOD’S IMDROVEMElffT. 
FOR THE HARVEST OF 1856. 
In calling the attention of farmers to my Machine, for the 
coming harvest, I take great pleasure in speaking of its still 
increasod merits over any previous year's manufacture, and 
in recommending it as now improved and perfected as being a 
Combined Reaper and Mower, adapted in every respect to the 
wants of farmers who have use for such an implement. 
I have so shortened the rear part of the platform and frame 
as to make the delivery easy. The reel post on the left side of 
the machine is made higher, the wing board wider and longer, 
and have put in internal gear. The raising lever is lengthened, 
and the driver’s seat set further back, which so balances the 
machine as to rid the horses of all weight upon their necks— 
and I have the utmost confidence in recommending it as the 
best Combined Reaper and Mower in use. 
Warranted capable of cutting in a workmanlike manner 
from 10 to 15 acres of Grass or Grain per day. 
My terms are the same as heretofore. For the Combined 
Machine, delivered here on hoard cars $125. For the Single 
Mower, $110. WALTER A. WOOD,
