Dearth of New3. - Politics-— The Good Time 
Reader kind, at this present writing the chances 
of your obtaining any special news in this paper, 
are quite problematieah The desired article is not 
to be had, in this market, for any reasonable con¬ 
sideration. In vain we search our exchanges, 
scissors or pen in hand;—not a scrap can we find 
worth a picayune to the neutral news-monger.— 
All is “stale, fiat and unprofitable.” Foreign 
powers will neither revolutionize nor crumble— 
steamers and locomotives conduct themselves with 
the utmost propriety—flame, flood and sword 
keep within due bounds—the weather is most 
propitious—and people generally appear to ignore 
noteworthy proceedings without the least pre¬ 
monitory reluctance ! Bad state of things, for 
both editors and readers, this dearth of material 
for the news department. 
But, hold !—here is news in abundance—of a 
certain gender. This “ex”—a sample of fifty 
others alongside—is filled from title to terms, from 
leader to quack medicine pronunciamentos, with 
most astounding intelligence pertaining to the 
salvation of this “ powerful, widely-extended, and 
tee-totally magnificent Republic!” What ap¬ 
peals to all lovers of liberty, humanity, patriot¬ 
ism and potatoes, have we amid these long-wind¬ 
ed, strongly emphasized and magnificently cap¬ 
italized effusions in behalf oi—thc party and its 
candidates, and against the corrupt, wicked, ruin¬ 
ous, nation-destroying, vampire-ish “ faction ” 
that is striving mightily to annihilate our “gel- 
orious institutions,” and devastate the Y\ estern 
Hemisphere generally! Ah, friends, these polit¬ 
ical “ organs” and orators are vast—magniloquent 
in entreaty, logic, and persuasion—on the eve of 
a Presidential election ! According to these im¬ 
maculate guide-boards, a certain “exercise of the 
elective franchise ” will secure an increasingly - 
brilliant destiny .to your posterity and this Con¬ 
federacy !—but a different course will cause the 
cement of this fair, well-sealed Union to melt and 
vanish into circumambient space, while the peo¬ 
ple will have thrust upon them every possible ca¬ 
lamity, and considerable trouble beside ! This 
must be so—the papers declare it—and of course 
they wouldn't prevaricate concerning a matter of 
such transccndaut importance. You doull it ?— 
Doubt what is uttered, iterated and reiterated by 
every party tocsin, from the Universal Clarion of 
Freedom down to the Tin-Whistle of Liberty !— 
We are amazed at your temerity. 
— However, this caunot last alway. The Ru¬ 
bicon is not afar off, thanks to the swift-winged 
messenger. The “ides of November ” will soon 
allay the fever—when it is believed the pulses of 
our ardent contemporaries, and the great arteries 
of the Nation, will be permitted to subside, and 
again beat with former regularity. Then we 
shall all breathe freer, and many of those who 
have been consulting the “organs” during the 
past few months, will become calm and in their 
right minds—so sensible indeed, that (through 
your kind influence, reader ?) the permanent 
Rural will be substituted for the evanescent 
Campaigner. Then, truly, we may be able to 
specify the Good Time 1 
Election Returns. 
At the present juncture the returns of our pop¬ 
ular elections have a more than ordinary interest 
to eveiy American citizen, and arc eagerly sought 
for by most readers. We should be glad to give 
them in detail, did they not demand more space 
than can well be spared for that purpose. It will 
beour aim to give information of the result of the 
fall elections as soon as reliable returns are re¬ 
ceived. Elections have recently been held in 
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and Wisconsin. 
In Pennsylvania, the returns indicate the elec¬ 
tion of Woodward, Judge of the Supreme Court, 
and Hopkins, Canal Commissioner, both Demo¬ 
crats, by large majorities. The Congressional 
delegation will be 11 Whigs, 14 Democrats. The 
House stands 64 Democrats, 38 Whig ; and Whigs 
enough have been elected to the Senate, with 
those holding over, to give that party the majority 
in that body'. 
The Democratic State ticket has been elected 
in Ohio ; and of t he Congressmen, the Democrats 
elect 12, Whigs 7, Free Soilers 2. We have not 
sufficient returns to indicate the character of the 
Legislature. 
Indiana has re-elected Wright, Democrat, for 
Governor. The Congressional delegation stands 
ten democratic and one whig. The legislature is 
reported largely democratic. 
In Florida the Democrats have elected the Gov¬ 
ernor aud one member of Congress probably'. It 
is supposed Caret, Whig, is elected. 
In Wisconsin the election was for judges; por¬ 
tions of both tickets were successfu-L f 
The Weather. —The first part of Ihc week 
closing to-day, (Tuesday,) was very warm. Fri¬ 
day it became cool, and in the evening it snowed 
a little, the first of the season. Saturday and 
Sunday were quite cool—a little rain on Sunday. 
Monday warmer—Indian Summer day — quite 
warm toward evening. Insects musical. About 
9 o’clock in the evening we had a thuuder-storm 
of hail—lightning very vivid—like that of mid 
summer. This morning cooler—wind north. 
The Autumn thus far has been very fine. The 
leaves, though changing their color, do not begin 
to fall much ye .—w. 
A Budget of Acknowledgments. 
Of late we have been favored with sundry and 
various tokens of remembrance. As some items 
! were received during absence, or amid a press of 
| “other matter,” we may overlook a portion in 
' this brief mention, yet feel grateful t<> all triends 
wlio iriny have placed us under obligations for 
r courtesy aud kindness. 
Currant Wine.— Though not very familiar with 
articles in this line, we have now and ag-ua acted 
on tasting committees, where the pure juice oi 
the grape, currant, etc., were discussed On suc.i 
occasions we have seen some choice samples—but 
a bottle of Currant Wine from the vintage of 
Rob’t Lay, Esq., of Phelps, appears superior in 
appearance and flavor, to any previously seen 
or tasted. Professed judges coincide with us in 
pronouncing the sample extra, and desire us to 
inquire of Mr. L. in regard to the process of man¬ 
ufacture. Will he inform them through the pages 
hereof? 
Paintings of Fruit. —We are indebted to T. C 
Maxwell tfc Co., ol Geneva, for excellent paint¬ 
ings of the “ Northern Spy ” and “ Wagoner,” 
two of the choicest apples cultivated in Western 
New York. They were executed by Miss Lucy 
E. Maxwell, —and are drawn and colored to the 
life, as any connoiseur may see on calling at the 
Rural sanctum. 
More Colors. —Messrs. Ellwangkr & Barry 
have favored us with colored engravings ol several 
Vegetables—such as beets, carrots, turnips, on¬ 
ions, etc.—“ got up ” in Paris, and of course exe¬ 
cuted in superb style. In naturalness of drawing 
and coloring these plates are superior to any we 
have before seen. Unlike most French paintings 
in the fruit and vegetable line, these are not over¬ 
colored ; on the contrary they are so true to na¬ 
ture that a friend at our elbow declares he can 
smell the onions ! 
Choice Pf.ars. —Not satisfied with feasting our 
eyes in the manner above indicated, the same gen¬ 
tlemen subsequently furnished us a sample of 
home products which temporarily eclipsed the 
exotics,—at the same time affording evidence of 
their skill in culture, and wisdom in regard to our 
taste. This was a basket of fine pears—princi¬ 
pally White Doyenne—beautiful in appearance, 
and most gratifying to the palate. 
— Mr. J. Roby, of Brockport, has also favored 
us with choice specimens of the pear—among 
others both White and Gray Doyemie. The lat¬ 
ter were very fair, and of most, excellent flavor.— 
This variety is worthy of more attention than it 
has hitherto received. 
Sugar Pumpkin. —Recently Mr. Gideon Lank, 
of Brighton, near this city, favored us with a 
choice specimen of pumpkindom, grown from 
seed obtained in Southern Ohio. It is well nam¬ 
ed, saccharinely considered, and makes capital 
pies,— a s -vve can aver from the best evidence It 
is of good size, said to be prolific, and if it should 
mature well here, will prove an acquisition to far¬ 
mers and gardeners. 
Sweeter. — Speaking of sweet things,— that 
cake of maple sugar, laid on our table, some time 
ago, by Alfred Fitch. Esq., of Riga, was voted 
a diploma in full council. Such sweet tokens 
are always appreciated in the home department. 
Gen. Scott in Rochester. 
We dislike to deal in matters having any polit¬ 
ical bearing, yet the recent tour of Gen. Scott 
through this State, and his reception in Rochester, 
demand a passing notice. The General arrived in 
this city at 2 o’clock, on Thursday last, by the 
Niagara Falls Railroad, escorted by a committee 
who had met him at Lockport. He had been en¬ 
thusiastically received at the different places on 
the route, and made brief speeches at Medina, 
Albion and Brockport. 
On the arrival of the cars here, a large proces¬ 
sion, consisting of military, firemen, and citizens, 
escorted the distinguished guest through several 
of the principal streets to the Court House Square. 
Here Gen. Scott was introduced to a large assem¬ 
blage of people, by Dr. Kelsey, in some appro¬ 
priate remarks. In reply Gen. Scott made a brief 
and sensible speech—avoiding any allusion to po¬ 
litical topics. We quote a portion of his remarks 
as follows; 
“ I sincerely thank you for the kindness of this 
reception. When I look around me and behold 
these elegant edifices and this sea of human faces, 
I am disposed to ask myself, “Where am I ?”— 
Am I in the centre of Philadelphia, or the empo¬ 
rium of some great State ? for the appearance 
about indicates that I am. These massive tem¬ 
ples and the thousands of people that are within 
the reach of my eye, but beyond the reach of my 
voice, fill me with "wonder and admiration. 
Fellow-citizens—I have long known this place 
which has now grown into so large a city. In 
1813, I marched with a column of soldiers from 
Handford’s Landing into this village, and halted 
somewhere near the spot, where I now stand.— 
Since that time, Rochester has grown up into a 
flourishing city, filled with commerce, mechanical 
institutions and seats of learning.” 
Democratic Nominations.— The Democratic 
Convention which met in this city on the 8th 
inst., put in nomination the following ticket: 
For Congress—.Joseph Field, of Rochester. 
For Sheriff—John W. Wilson. Pen field. 
For County Clerk—W. B. Williams, Rochester. 
For Justice of Sessions—Nicholas Read, Greece. 
For Superintendent of the Poor—Samuel M. 
Olden, Sweden. 
For Coroners—Asa B. Hall, Rochester ; Thomas 
Ellsmore, Pi’tsford; James Parmalee, Ogden. 
Caleb H. Mason, Esq., of Clarkson, has been 
nominated by the Democrats in the first district, 
for Member of Assembly. 
People’s College Association. —We learn that 
this Association had an excellent meeting in Sen¬ 
eca Falls, last week. The number present was 
larger than at any previous meeting, and we are 
assured that commendable progress wng reported. 
The next meeting is to be held in Albany, on the 
second Wednesday in January next. 
Literary Notices. 
National Portrait Gallery. —On the recep¬ 
tion of the first number of this work we commend¬ 
ed the enterprise as worthy of liberal encourage- 
i merit from ihe American people. We have now 
before us the numbers from 2 to 10 inclusive, and 
! must again express our admiration of the excel- 
i lent style and superior illustrations of a work so 
trulv National in character. It is in every respect 
highly creditable, and merits an extensive circula¬ 
tion. The Gallery is to be completed in forty 
numbers (issued weekly,) and will embrace bio¬ 
graphical sketches and engraved portraits of 120 
I of the most eminent persons who havebccupined 
a place in the history of the United States. Pub¬ 
lished by Robt. E. Peterson <t Co., Philadelphia, 
i Pa.; 25 cents per number. For sale by Dewey. 
Northwood, or Life North and South.— 
This is a well written tale from tlie pen of one of 
our best, and most popular American Authors, 
Mrs. S. J. Hale. It was written some twenty- 
five years since, when that gilted woman had to 
depend upon her pen to support herself and fam¬ 
ily, and educate her children. Breathingthrough- 
oui the elevated sentiments of morality and re¬ 
ligion which have characterized her lite, as well as 
her writings, this re-publication cannot fail of be¬ 
ing acceptable to her many friends and the public. 
Sold by W. M. Hayward, who is agent for all the 
standard and literary publications of the day.— 
Mr. H. may be found at his office, No. 15 Roches¬ 
ter House. I 
Tallis’s Illustrated London. —No’s 5 and 6 
of this splendid serial have been received. The 
beautiful letter press, and magnificent illustra¬ 
tions, render this one ot the most attractive works 
extant—aside from its valuable historical delinea¬ 
tions. We again commend it to all who wish to 
combine tbe beautiful with the useful in stocking 
their libraries. For sale by E. It. Hall, General 
Agent, No. 4 Chappell’s Block, State street. 
Crystal Palace. —We have received from the 
agent above named. No’s 1 and 2 of a superbly 
illustrated serial embracing delineations "of the 
Crystal Palace and its contents. In some respects 
it is superior to the Illustrated London, and will 
find many admirers and patrons. 
The Tropical Farmer is the title of a new re¬ 
cruit, hailing from Ocala, Florida. Ihe initial 
number opens well, and we trust the work will be 
appreciated in tbe right quarter. L. C. Gaines* 
editor; monthly, at $ 1. 
The New York Farmer, weekly and monthly, 
is now published at Albany, instead of Rome, as 
formerly. Elon Comstock, Esq., continues as 
editor,—C. <fc E. Comstock, proprietors. 
Central Medical College. 
We learn by the October number of the “ Ec¬ 
lectic Journal of Medicine,” that this College, 
which for two years past has been located in this 
city, is to be united with similar institutions at 
Syracuse and at Worcester, Mass., and that here¬ 
after the sessions will be held at the two last 
named places. Why it is that Rochester makes 
uo effort to continue the location of such public 
institutions within her borders, we are unable to 
say, but surely the annual assembling of a large 
cku-s of students, and the residence of learned 
professors would add somewhat to the prosperity 
of the city, and be objects toward which much 
liberality should be shown. The regular course 
of lectures will commence in Syracuse on the first 
Monday of November, aud continue sixteen 
weeks. The faculty is constituted from the pro¬ 
fessors of the three colleges named, and will 
in point of talent and experience compare with 
the older institutions of ihe country. A spring 
course will be held at Worcester, Mass. The 
teachings and tendencies of the School will be 
thoroughly Eclectic, selecting in every important 
department all that Is truest, safest, best,” and 
tolerating the largest liberty consistent with pro¬ 
gress and truth. The Institution will spare no 
paii is or expense to render its courses of instruction 
full, thorough and practical. It will also be in¬ 
strumental in educating ladies for tbe responsible 
and delicate duties of ministering at the sick 
couch of their own sex in all the ills to which the 
flesh is heir, for which purpose ladies are cheer¬ 
fully admitted to the institution. t 
Hale and Julian County Convention.— The

Lake, of Troy, Wis., passed through this city, 
homeward bound, with a fine lot of Short-horns, 
and a few Spanish Merino Sheep, which he had 
purchased of Mr. Aaron Barker, of Avon.— 
Among them, the bull “ Rocket,” four years old. 
and several heifers, were superior, and will prove 
good breeding stock for the west. 
Sheep for Illinois. —Wo learn that J. J. Mc¬ 
Allister, of Gaines, Orleans county, recently sold 
a portion of his flock of French Merinos to Amos 
Cady, of Lyndon, Ill. The sale amounted to 
about $1,000, and included some choice animals. 
Dedication. —We are requested to state that 
the Baptist meeting house in Churchville will not 
be dedicated until Wednesday, the 3d of Novem¬ 
ber. Services to commence a o’clock, A. M. 
Baptist Missionary Convention 
The annual meeting of this body was held in 
New York, commencing Wednesday morning.— 
The usual business was transacted. From the 
report of ihe Executive Committee, it appears 
that there have been G1 churches relieved during 
the last year. For this purpose $8,312 had been 
paid out* being $2,900 more than the appropria¬ 
tion made for the year. 
Twenty-one other churches have applied for 
assistance but have not receivud it for want of 
funds. 
The pastors, missionaries and agents have re¬ 
ported thirty years’ and twenty weeks’ labor, 
4,463 sermons preached, 6,489 pastoral visits, 2,412 
social meetings, 217 baptized, 222 added by letter, 
19.615 miles traveled, 98 stations occupied, 1,932 
scholars in Sabbath schools, and 4,706 volumes in 
their library. The receipts o the association for 
the year, $9,434 29, and disbursements $9,351 25. 
The following sums have been oollectea by kin¬ 
dred organizations in the State during the year; 
American Baptist Missionary Union.§29.333 65 
| American and Foreign Mission Society.10,118 39 
American Baptist Homo Mission Society. 13.7C6 43 
American Baptist Publication Society. 1,931 19 
Since the last anniversary, 8 ministers have 
died, the average of whose ages is sixty years: 34 
have been ordained; 7 Baptist churches have been 
recognized, and 14 new houses have been opened 
for public worship. The report says that—“ It 
is believed to be a moderate estimate, to call the 
churches of the Slate worth $50,000 each, which 
would make an aggregate of $40,550,000, and if 
one cent was paid on a dollar, annually, for be¬ 
nevolent purposes, it would make the ample sum 
of $405,500, a sum more than four times larger 
.han that raised the past year in this State for all 
objects patronised by our denomination.” 
The next meeting of the Convention will be 
held at Watertown, Rev. Mr. Taylor of Brooklyn, 
preacher. 
Japan.— The Dutch Government has acted in 
the most liberal and enlightened spirit in regard 
to Japan, and has made constant exertions to ob¬ 
tain, not for itself alone, but for all nations, the 
privileges of trade with that isolated empire.— 
Since the attention of our Government has been 
directed to this subject, tbe Dutch have offered 
every facility for prosecuting a design of so much 
moment to the whole world. 
It is gratifying to see the commercial Govern¬ 
ments acting in concert, and without trying to 
obtain exclusive privileges, but offering to each 
other all they hope to obtain for themselves. It, 
is in this way that civilization will be extended, 
wars prevented, and tbe general prosperity of the 
whole be promoted.— Providence Jour. 
Price ok Butter.— Tu consequence of large 
orders from California, the price of butter at Bos¬ 
ton has advanced five to ten cents per pound.— 
One firm have orders for 125,000 lbs. This most 
necessary article of food is also most sublimely 
high in this city, with little prospect of going 
down. A serious break in the Canal at Albion, 
which has detained boats for a whole week, has 
contributed to keep up, if not actually t<> enhance 
the price. But there certainly must be butter 
enough in the country, within easy reach of the 
great lines of railroad, to supply any probable 
demand both for consumption and export.—A”. Y. 
Tribune. 
The Gardner Claim.— The National Intelli¬ 
gencer says, the Committee on tbe Gardner Claim 
unanimously reported that Mr. Corwin was inter¬ 
ested as counsel in the Gardner Claim, with Wad- 
dy Thompson, in May, 1849, but before entering 
the Cabinet, and ten months before the award 
was made by the Commissioner, he sold out his 
entire interest to George Law, of New York, and 
refused afterwards to consult in the matter. The 
Committee further report that the Claim is fraud¬ 
ulent, but no evidence was adduced to show that 
Mr. Corwin was cognizant of the fraud. 
Stk. Marie Ship Canal.— The Lake Superior 
Journal announces the commencement of the sur¬ 
vey of a canal around the Ste. Marie Falls. By 
an act, passed at the late session of Congress, au- 
thorilv was given to the Governor of Michigan to 
superintend the construction of this canal—the 
proceeds of 750,000 acres of land having been set 
apart for that purpose Capt. Canfield has charge 
of the survey and location of the work. 
Worthy of Imitation.— The Whigs and Demo¬ 
crats of Baltimore have generally voted to put up 
boxes at their election districts, marked “ a tribute 
to Washington,” for the purpose of receiving con¬ 
tributions for the Washington Monument. A 
suggestion was recently made that this plan for 
raising funds for the monument should be adopt¬ 
ed throughout the country. We hope it, will be 
A Veteran vEronaijt.— The five hundredth 
ascent of the celebrated Mr. Green, took place on 
the 8th ult., when he ascended from Vauxhall 
Gardens, London, accompanied by eight other 
gentlemen. It was announced as the last trip of 
the hardy aironaut, who is now nearly or quite 70 
years of age. 
Death of a Venerable Lady.— Old lady San¬ 
derson, of Lexington, Mass., says the Boston 
Traveler, 15th inst., memorable for her kind at¬ 
tention to a British soldier who was wounded at 
Lexington, in 1775, died this morning about 6 
o’clock. She was iu her 105th year. 
$20 Bill Altered from a$1.— There are such 
bills afloat on the Jefferson County Bank. The 
word “ twenty ” is in large red letters under the 
name of the bank, also the words “twenty dol¬ 
lars” under the red line. The alteration is skill¬ 
fully done. Look out for it. 
Months and Marriages.— Census returns show 
that marriages are fewest in March, and most nu¬ 
merous in May and June, except in New England, 
where they are most prevalent in November, or 
about Thanksgiving time. 
Nfw Y'ork Crystal Palace. — From a circu¬ 
lar of the company who are making preparations 
for the display of the World’s Industry, to take 
place in New York city, it appeal's that the ex¬ 
hibition will be definitely opened in May next. 
A Seducer Shot!— A woman named Ann 
Wheeler, met a married man named Luce in the 
streets of Milwaukee on Friday last, drew a pistol 
and shot him. He had added to seduction a 
boasting of it in public places.
