Weather for the First Half of July. 
Another half mont h of rather singular weather. 
For a good while the changes have been great and 
rapid, and the return to the point of another 
change quick. The country, too, has been visited 
with numerous storms of wind and rain, usually 
attended witb much lightning and thunder. The 
mean heat of this half is 70.4, or a little above the 
average for 22 years. 
The last four days of June but one, were very 
warm; the last was quite cool; the first of July 
was a little warmer, but some frost was seen in the 
morniug. There was frost also on the 4th and 5th ; 
but not much injury was done. Oats were killed 
on the 1st in some places. Grapes were very une¬ 
qually injured by frost. Strawberries and cherries 
have abounded this year. The high wind of the 
2d, however, closed the season of strawberries. 
Rain has been less than usual for more than a 
month, and for the last fortnight the earth was 
athirst for rain; crops were suffering greatly. 
On the 15th came the long-hoped for rain, and the 
earth sang aloud for joy. Violent storms and great 
rains have occurred over much of the country. 
Mowing has been done for a fortnight, and the 
wheat harvest began about a week since. Severe 
tornado aDd rain at Mt. Morris at 2 P. M., July 2d, 
and the same day at evening at Albany and down 
the Hudson to New York; in Berkshire Co., at 11 
iu the evening. At New York again the 13th. 
The rain of the lotli was 1.416 inches, a very great 
mercy to all. — c. d. 
Increase of Immigration.— The N. Y. Courier 
d- Enquirer says the immigration to that port up 
to the 13th inst., amounted to 42,773 persons 
against 40,561 up to the corresponding period of 
last year. The emigrants seem to be of a better 
class this year, judging from the number of in¬ 
mates in the institutions on Ward’s Island, 714 
against 1,215 last year, and 1,416 the year previous. 
The arrivals last week numbered 2,775.

From the Pacific Side. 
The steamer Star of the West arrived at New 
\ork on the 12tb, and brought nearly a million 
and three-quarters in treasure. She left Aspin 
wail on the 3d, and Key West on the 8th instant. 
Rich discoveries of gold had been made in the 
Coast range mountains, Humboldt Co. 
Business was very dull at San Francisco, owing 
to the non-arrival of several clippers over due. 
Harvesting was progressing, and theyield prom 
isedto be more abundant than for home use. 
Oregon advices state that the Columbia and 
Willamet rivers were very high, causing great 
destruction of property. 
The Columbia river was 45 feet above low water 
mark between the Cascades and the Dallas, and 
the whole country was submerged from the Cas 
cades to Vancouver—not twenty acres were above 
water. 
Fraser river had risen twelve feet in four days 
causing great damage along the banks. Fort 
Tale, together with all the houses on the beach, 
were overflowed, and several had been swept away.’ 
Mining operations were entirely suspended. Coal 
had been discovered near Queensboro. Gover..„. 
If Douglass and Col. Moody had made the trip to the 
north entrance of the Frazer river, and found fine 
tracts of laud. 
Advices from Peru mention another revolution 
mder the lead of Zeballos, CastiUo, Echenique 
N others. 
D e revolution in Equador, under Moreno, had 
°" e quite threatening. The regular troops 
s 01n gover to the insurgents, the defeat of the 
Government forces was considered certain.

Rochester, July 19, 1859. ) 
Flour—A gain do we note a reduction in the rates of 
Flour. On whiter wheat varieties the decline is equal to 
25@50 cents D barrel-on spring 50® $1,00. Holders are 
anxiously looking for customers. 
Grain—A large fading off is noticeable in quotations of 
YYheat, but we must say that the prices given are merely 
nominal—nothing is doing. Millers are awaiting the ap¬ 
pearance of the new crop, and all are expecting (will their 
expectations be realized?) to purchase very cheap. In 
Corn we notice a decline in Inferior — No. 1 remains lit 
last week’s rates. Rye unchanged. No sates of Barley. 
Prime Oats readily bring 50 cents — poorer grades are firm 
at 48, an advance of 3 cents U bushel. Buckwheat is down 
again, and it would be labor to procure our present figures 
of 50@60 cents 1R bushel. 
YVool—T he transactions of the week are light. YVliile 
there is an evident tendency 10 higher prices for coarse 
grades, superior remains at old quotations. Potatoes are 
lower. Old are worth only 50@62>U-new 75@88 cents 7' 
bushel. 
IIav—T he indications are an advance. Although we do 
not alter our table, an occasional loud is sold at the rate of 
$17,00 f) tun, and it is only in cases of very inferior quality 
or of clover quite green, that only $10,00 is obtained Good 
hay brings $ 10,00 very readily.

JUST PUBLI SHED, 
THE EXPLANATORY QUESTION BOOK, 
WITH ANALYTICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES, AND AN 
INTRODUCTION, BY REV. EDWARD N. KIRK, D. D. 
The work announced is perhaps the most thorough and 
complete of any text book ever given to the public. It is 
topical in Hs character, covering a wide range of subjects, 
and containing fifty-two lessons—one for each Sabbath in 
the year. ^ lhe plan of the work is entirely new and some¬ 
what original. On the left hand pace is the lesson, and on 
the opposite page at the same opening are the 
“ANALYTICAL NOTES.” 
These notes have been prepared with great care and 
ability, by a practical Sabbath School teacher, under the 
eye of Rev Dr Kirk, and will be found of invaluable ser- 
v ‘cein elucidating the subject under consideration. The 
publisher would refrain from speaking with over confidence 
of his own issues, but he utters tlie convictions of other 
minds than his own in saying that as a prompter to thought 
mi investigation, this admirable question book leaves but 
a commit*'es’red-Nif tofact both a question book and 
combined. It is of extra large size and sub- 
st.intiaily bound. Price lo cents. 
for examination sent post-paid to any part of the

pitATT’S PATENT SELF-VENTILATIYG 
J COVERED MILK-PAN. 
This is an inclosed milk-pan, so arranged as to secure the 
supply and circulatton of air required for the senaration 
ar.d rising of the cream. By 
reference to the engraving, it 
will be seen that tbe pan has a 
cover; around the lower rim of 
this cover are several minute 
perforations for the air to enter, 
and at ihe top of the chimney, 
(as it may be called,' which 
rises from the ces: re of the 
cover, is another series of per¬ 
forations for the air to escape. 
When new milk is placed in this 
pan, the colder external air 
presses in through the lower range of perforations in tlie 
cover, and forces the warm air out through the perforations 
above, tiius producing tbe required circulation. This circu¬ 
lation of air will diminish, as the cooling process goes on, 
but not cease; for, gases being evolved in the production of 
cream, their livhtness will still cause the air to draw in 
through the lower perforations, and so continue the process 
of ventilation. 
The value of this new milk-pan will be at once apparent. 
Dairymen often have great difficulty in protecting their 
open pans from gnats, flies, rats, mice, snails, lizards, &c., 
&c.; and they cannot cover them, because, if tbe air is shut 
out, the cream will not separate trom the milk. 
But not alone to dairymen is tbe invention of value. In 
every family milk is used: and with one or more of these 
self-ventilating pans, the best condition for raising cream is 
secured. Covered, and set upon a shelf, or the c liar floor, 
the pan is entirely free from molestation. During the time 
that the patent was pending, in 1858, this milk-pan was ex¬ 
hibited at the U. S. Agricultural Fair, held in Richmond, Va : 
at the Pennsylvania State Fair, held at Pittsburgh; and at 
the New Hampshire State Fair, held at Dover. In each 
case DIPLOM AS were awarded.

The subscriber begs to inform the public that he continues 
to manufacture this popular machine, and pledges himself to 
produce an implement, that will fully sustain its former repu- 
tatwn, as the best combined machine yet introduced, and 
inferior to none, either as a Reaper or Mower. 
It has had a steady and increasing popularity from the first, 
achieving a complete success in tlie first important trial at 
Geneva m 1852. It carried off the highest honors at the great 
National Field Trial at Syracuse in <857 ; and amidst afi the 
competition and trials of 1858, came out with more and better 
established points of excellence than ever before 
The genera) principles peculiar to this machine, and upon 
which it is constructed, have proved so successful that there 
has been no attempt to change them. 
The main, effort during the last, year has been to Improve 
Its mechanical construction, to make it stronger and more 
durable, and sustain its reputation as the leading and most 
acceptable machine to the largest class of fanners in the 
country. °

During the six years I have been engaged in the manufac¬ 
ture of the Manny Combined Reaper and Mower, I have 
given much thought and attention to the construction of what 
I foresaw would be a great w: n' of the Farmers—a lighter 
and cheaper machine expressly for mowing, than had yet 
been made. 
And now, after the most thorough and repeated experi¬ 
ments and tests in every variety of field, and in ail kinds and 
m every condition of grass, I a n prepared, with entire confi¬ 
dence, to offer to the farmers and dealers of the United 
States, the great desideratum in this department of Agricul¬ 
tural labor-saving machines—a Mower, superior in its capac¬ 
ity for good work to any hitherto introduced, of easy draft, 
light, cheep, and durable. 
Tins machine I now offer as my latest Invention, to meet a 
special want of farmers, and to place within the reach of all, 
a Mower that for practical working, cheapness and simplici¬ 
ty, wilt be without a rival. 
I build Two-IIorse and One-Horse Mowers. The Two- 
Horse Mower weighs 425 fts., and cuts a swath four feet wide 
(or more tf specially ordered.) The One-Horse Mower weighs 
30 fts. less. (395 fts,,) and cuts a swath three and a half feet 
wide. 
For a more full description of the Mower, reference Is made 
to my Pamphlets, which will be furnished on application.— 
>v ith each machine will be furnished two extra guards, two 
extra sections, one wrench and oil can.

a workmanlike manner.
