The Crops —Household Markets- 
The following aotes on Crops arc made from 
personal observation of the districts that will be 
mentioned, and may be considered reliable : 
Potatoes. — The crop in New Hampshire and 
Western Maine is the finest for many years, and 
rather more than the usual breadth of ground was 
planted with them. A large supply may be ex¬ 
pected to come to market. In New Jersey and 
about New York, early planted Potatoes are very 
meagre, late planted generally have given good 
promise, but within a fortnight the rot has become 
very severe, and the crop is likely to be rather less 
than last year. 
Indian Corn, at the East, is likely to be a better 
crop than usual. In New Jersey it is very greatly 
damaged by the gale, many fields being entirely 
prostrated and not coming up. 
Fall and Winter Vegetables are generally very 
poor, owing to drouth and grasshoppers. There 
was a universal failure of the seed beds, and 
not one-half the usual number of cabbages has 
been planted. 
Hay .—In Maine the crop was on an average, 
two-thirds the usual weight; the whole of it will 
be required for home consumption, aud except the 
farmers are tempted by most extravagant prices to 
kill their stock, none will be shipped to Southern 
ports. In the rest of New England the crops are 
unusually short, and a great deal of lean stock 
will go to the butcher. Hay is selling every¬ 
where at the East at higher prices than ever 
known before. None will be shipped. In East¬ 
ern New York the crop is still smaller, and in 
Duchess County the price is higher than in New 
York City. In Now Jersey and the neighbor¬ 
hood of New York the crop is better — about 
three-fourths the usual weight. At the West the 
crop is good, and the Southern ports will be sup¬ 
plied from the Ohio. 
Fruit.— Of apples the supply is likely to be 
usually fine and large. 
Beef. —Lean beef is likely to be very low. Good 
fat beef it will be hardly possible to get this win¬ 
ter. Of pork and other meats the supply will be 
better than usual.— JSf. Y. Times. 
The Shoe String Trade.— Among the enter¬ 
prises in Georgetown, Mass., is that of manufac¬ 
turing shoe strings. The process is simple, yet 
requiring quite a number of workmen to meet the 
demand for the article. The strings are made 
from calfskin .and sole leather, the former costing 
$20 per thousand and the latter $10 per thousand 
—tlie quality of stock ranging the prices. They 
are made for the southern and western market 
and used with brogan shoes, which are so'exten- 
sively manufactured throughout. New England, in 
exchange for the breadstuff's of the south aud west. 
The proprietor has acquired quite a competency 
within a few years from his enterprise. 
Harktta. 
A Child nv Express. — Adams & Co.’s Ex¬ 
press recently added a feature to its facilities, by 
forwarding a female child, seven years old, from 
Washington city to its parents at Dayton, Ohio. 
The child had been separated from its distressed 
parents for a year, ana no means were afforded 
for its return until tire agent for this express 
company was applied to, and generously demon¬ 
strated the availability of this means of transpor¬ 
tation. ___ 
Importation of Rattlesnakes. — An English 
paper says, “among the extraordinary arrivals 
with which we have been lately favored from 
America, none perhaps has excited more sensation 
than the importation into Liverpool of 116 rattle¬ 
snakes, which came over in two large cases, ac¬ 
companied by their owner, Mr. Van Gordon, who 
caught them on the Allegany mountains.” 
Coinage at the Philadelphia Mint. —The 
whole amount of gold and silver coined at Phila¬ 
delphia during the month of August, was $4,- 
34b,S35. There were nearly a million and a half 
of three cent pieces coined. The deposits of gold 
during the month, amounted to $2,675,000; silver 
$28,500. Gold deposited since January, $32,- 
049,(535. Last year $28,005,541. 
A Legal Tartar. —Tire proprietors of the Mu¬ 
sical World sent to a lawyer named Blaisdell, at 
Fall River, a bill against himself as a delinquent 
subscriber, amounting to $1 50, for collection.— 
In a few days the lawyer sent a note to them 
stating that he had collected the bill, and on the 
receipt of three dollars, his usual fee, would remit 
the amount collected.

Rural New-Yorker Office, > 
Rochester, September 29, 1852. > 
Our market presents tlie usual evidences of activity.— 
The untoward state of the weather has checked outdoor 
operations. 
Flour.—No change in the market, and very little selling. 
Millers are pushing all forward to tlie Atlantic market 
Grain.—Tlie demand for wheat is good, though efforts 
are made to buy without any advance in price. We hear 
of sale 3 of 12,000 bushels at 96c. Oats are selling at 38c. 
Barley 50@56e. Corn is in demand at 56@62>$e; very 
little offering. 
Provisions—Are without change except butter, which 
for very prime commands 20c per lb.; and eggs which are 
worth \i)lc. per dez. Apples are not plenty. White beans, 
the demand is good, and fair samples command $ 1@1,25. 
In other things we have no transactions of worth to 
chronicle. 
ROCHESTER WHOLESALE PRICES. 
A rnft 560 feet long and (50 wide, contain¬ 
ing (50,15G feet of timber, valued at $17,000 re¬ 
cently came through the Dismal Swamp Canal, 
on its way to New Work by the inland route. It 
was taken in tow by the steamer Jewess as far as 
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. The raft 
was constructed in Pamlico Sound, in North Car¬ 
olina, and the timber cut from the bordering yel¬ 
low pine forests. One of the pieces was 83 feet 
long by 32 inches square, and contained 591 cubic 
feel. Its tollage though the Dismal Swamp Ca¬ 
nal, we learn, amounted to $450. 
Mr. John'S. Jenkins, of Auburn, the au¬ 
thor of several popular biographical works, and 
a member of the Cayuga County Bar, died at 
Syracuse on Wednesday last. He was a young 
man. who had already given evidence of much 
talent, and a promise of future usefulness, lie 
died soon after having submitted to a surgical op 
oration for a disease from which he had for some 
ime suffered. 
Norton Peters, of Missouri, recently made 
a handsome speculation by driving sheep overland 
to California. He started with 2,500 sheep, and 
at Salt Lake he sheared them and sold the wool 
for $2,500. On reaching California with 2,000 in 
good condition, he was offered eighteen dollars a 
head for the lot, which he refused being sure of a 
higher price, 
'"'IT’There are two mills at Chitantami, on the 
Saguenay River, Canada, which run 182 upright 
saws and 10 circular saws. From the St. Law 
renceto these saw mills, the distance is 90 mile 
up the Saguenay. Square rigged vessels, of large 
tonnage, go up to the mills to take in their loads 
of lumber, and sail direct for Europe. 
A sale of a portion of the effects of the late 
Henry Clay, took place at Ashland, on the 15th 
inst., and embraced about 20 head of thorough¬ 
bred cattle, several fine horses, and a quantity of 
wine, put up several years ago by Mr. Clay himself. 
The sale took place under the direction of his ex¬ 
ecutors. 
Yhe receipts on the Buffalo it Rochester 
Railroad for August of the present year, exceed 
(hose of the same period last year by over $7,060. 
This shows a great gain of business, when it is 
remembered that the road had to compete with 
two new ones. 
jpjgp' The freeholders of the city of Ker.oslia, 
Wis., have voted to loan the credit of the city to 
the amount of $100,000, to the Green Bay, Mil¬ 
waukee and Chicago Railroad.

PORTABLE IHILL. 
Oakland, near Geneva, N. Y., 28 Aug., 1852. 
Mr. Charles Ross, —Dear Sir :—In reply to your letter 
of the 25th inst., it is a pleasure to speak in commendation 
of your Patent Conical Mill. Tome it has proved valuable 
for grinding food for my stock, as a few hours labor with 
this machine prepares food sufficient for fifteen fiead of 
cows for several days. The Mill used by me prepares food 
for horses, sheep and swine, grinding and mixing corn, 
oats and other grains satisfactorily. It has also produced 
for my use, our Indian meal, buckwheat meal, and occa¬ 
sionally wheat flour, thus saving the time of teams and 
men, which otherwise must have been occupied, going sev¬ 
eral miles to a distant mill, at much expense; it is therefore 
a source of economy as well as an inducement to better 
care of all stock. It affords also one among other resour¬ 
ces of convenient and useful labor during stormy weather. 
My belief is that your Mill will work its way into general 
use upon farms where stock is raised, and where grist mills 
are not within a short distance. In my estimation this 
mill is among the most important machines ottered to the 
farmer. Resp’y yours, J. Delafield.
