MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
291 
California f nMicicntt 
Arrival of the Steamer Grenada. 
The Pacific mail steamer Grenada arrived at 
New Orleans on the 26th ult. 
At the time of the steamer’s departure from 
San Francisco, the Vigilance Committee was 
still in full force. On the 29th of July, the 
Committee hung Joseph Hetherington, for the 
murder of Dr. Sandal], a few days previously ; 
also a man named Brace, for a murder commit¬ 
ted by him a year ago. Judge Terry was still 
kept prisoner by the committee. Mr. Hopkins 
whom he stabbed had recovered. 
The failure of Messrs. Palmer, Cook & Co., to 
pay State and city coupons in New York had 
created a feeling of indignation throughout the 
State, and the State Treasurer was to proceed 
for the speedy payment of the overdue interest. 
Several attempts had been made to fire both 
San Francisco and Sacramento. The loss by 
the Sierra Nevada fire is set down at $2,000,000. 
Business was very dull in California, with no 
immediate prospect of an improvement. The 
crops throughout the State were in a satisfac¬ 
tory condition. The San Francisco markets 
were active during the early part of the fort¬ 
night, but closed dull. 
FROM NICARAGUA. 
The latest dates from Nicaragua are to the 
9th ult., and the accounts represent the condi¬ 
tion of Walker as precarious. A large body of 
troops from San Salvador and Guatamala were 
at Leon, under command of Gen. Cabanano. 
Many desertions are reported among Walk¬ 
er’s men, including, it is said, one entire com¬ 
pany. A report was current that Walker had 
revoked the exequatur of the British Consul at 
Leon. Another attempted revolution in Costa 
Rica had been suppressed. . . ;R| 
The British fleet was still anchored at San 
Juan. Col. Salisear was captured on board of 
a brig, by the Nicaragua armed schooner, Gre¬ 
nada, Com. D. Bressa. Letters found on his 
person fully implicated the British consul at 
Leon with intermeddling in the affairs of the 
country. 
The judiciary was being organized at Nica¬ 
ragua. Hon. Thos. Baseye, of California, is ap¬ 
pointed judge of Grenada. 
A private letter from Grenada states that Mr. 
Livingston, U. S. Consul at Leon, had been 
shot, in retaliation for the shooting of Colonel 
Shaliazar, by Gen. Walker. Appleton Oak 
Smith, has been appointed Nicaraguan Minis¬ 
ter to Washington. 
Later from California.— The steamer Illi¬ 
nois arrived at New York on the 29lh ult.— 
She brings $1,465,157 in gold, and 500 passen¬ 
gers. News not of much importance. 
Provincial Items. 
An impoitant commercial company has re¬ 
cently been formed in Toronto, for the promo¬ 
tion of steam navigation on the lakes. The 
capital of the company, which has been styled 
the British American Lake Steam Navigation 
Company, is fixed at $1,000,000. The object in 
view is to establish a permanent line of steam¬ 
ers 1st. From Collingwood to Chicago, a dis¬ 
tance of 560 miles, calling at the several ports 
on the west shore of Lake Michigan. 2d. From 
Collingwood to Green Bay, calling at Macki¬ 
nac, 11 distiinco of 400 miicn. 3d. From Col¬ 
lingwood, through the ship canal at the Sault. 
Ste. Marie, to the various mining stations on 
Lake Superior. 
The Grand Trunk Railroad was opened on 
Monday from Toronto eastward to Oshawa.— 
The event was celebrated by an excursion. 
The exports and imports of the Canadian 
ports amounted in the aggregate in 1852, to 
eight million pounds, and in 1855, to over fif¬ 
teen millions. The arrivals and clearances in 
the latter year were, in tunnage on American 
and British sail and steam vessels, 12,097,494 
tuns. The tuunage which passed the Welland 
Canal in 1855, was 840,333 tuns, and the total 
revenue derived from tolls on passengers, freight 
and fines, amounted to £55,936. 
By a law passed by the Provincial Legisla¬ 
ture, it is made an offence to publish a notice 
of any lottery of property, real or personal, home 
or foreign, or the sale of tickets thereof; and 
subjects the person so convicted to a fine of £5 
for each offence, or imprisonment for three 
months in default of payment of the fine. It 
also declares that any person buying a lottery 
ticket shall forfeit a similar sum. But as a 
more effective restriction, it renders any sale, 
gift or barter of any property by way of lottery, 
absolutely void, and forfeited to any person 
who shall sue for the same. 
The French Canadians in Quebec are form¬ 
ing an association, and subscribing money for 
establishing Colonies on the uncultivated lands. 
It appears that attention is being directed at 
present to the valley of the St. Maurice, where 
they intend to re-establish a colony. 
Political Items. 
The State Fillmore Convention held in Bos¬ 
ton, Mass., on the 27th ult., put in nomination 
the following ticket:—Governor, Amos A. Law¬ 
rence, of Brookline. Lieut. Governor, Homer 
Foote, of Springfield. Secretary of State, Wil¬ 
liam M. Cornell, of Boston. Attorney General, 
George T. Davis, of Greenfield. State Auditor, 
Timothy Ingraham, of New Bedford. State 
Treasurer, George Foster, of Lynn. 
Col. TnoMAS F. Marshall, of Ky\, formerly 
member of Congress, is out for Fremont and 
Dayton. 
The members of the present Congress from 
Ohio, who have been re-nomioated, are Messrs. 
E. Wade, Giddings, Sherman, Galloway, Camp¬ 
bell, Emrie, Stanton, Mott, Bliss, Albright and 
Day. 
Amos A. Lawrence has written a letter de¬ 
clining the nomination for Governor tendered 
him by the late Fillmore State Convention of 
Massachusetts. 
Mr. Washburn, of Ill., and Mr. Washburn, of 
Wis., have both been re-nominated for Con¬ 
gress. 
Efforts are being made to induce Governor 
Johnston to decline the nomination for the 
Vice-Presidency in favor of Mr. Dayton. The 
matter causes considerable excitement among 
the North Americans, who declare that in that 
event they will turn their whole strength over 
to Fillmore. 
The Hon. Thomas H. Clay, of Fayette, the 
eldest and favorite son of the “ Sage of Ashland,” 
has been unanimously elected President of the 
American State Council of Kentucky.

HOT WATER WARMING APPARATUS. 
FOR OREEN 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 modeh 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 will show,) 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

We take pleasnre in recommending, unqualifiedly to the 
public, the Warming Apparatus referred to above by Messrs. 
Chapin, Treadwell 4 Co. We consider it perfect for the 
purpose designed, and have warmed our Green Houses in 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¬

COMBINED REAPER AND MOWER. 
MANNY PATENT WITH 
WOOD’S inatraOVElMEIYT. 
FOR TIIE 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 
increased merits over any previous year's manufacture, and 
in recommending it as now improvud 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 board cars $125. For the Single 
Mower, $110. WALTER A. WOOD,
