MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
147 
Arrival of the Arago and Canada. 
The steamship Arago arrived at New York on 
the 20th, and the Canada at Halifax on the 23d, 
with Liverpool dates to the 10th ult 
Great Britain. —News unimportant D'Israeli 
would bring in the budget on the 16th inst. 
Anxiety had been felt for the safety of the Levia¬ 
than, in consequence of the breaking of two of her 
bow mooring chains in a squall; but fortunately 
she was not in the least injured. 
The American bark Petrel, from Havre to New 
York, with 217 emigrants, had been lost off Chi¬ 
chester. Passengers and crew all saved. 
The Grand Jury in London had indicted Bernard. 
Alsop, Orsini, and others, for feloniously attempt¬ 
ing to kill the Emperor of France. 
Some English fillibusters established themselves 
for a time in one of the Spice Islands—fortified a 
village, and levied contributions. On the approach 
of the Dutch troops they left 
France. —The Emperor inaugurated the Boule¬ 
vard Sebastopol. He appeared on horseback in 
front of his escort, and was loudly cheered. Every¬ 
thing passed off tranquilly. 
A serious misunderstanding is reported between 
the Emperor and Prince Napoleon. 
Italy. —The trial at Lucia of the Legrot insurgents 
resulted in the condemnation of eight to death, and 
eleven to imprisonment Five of the latter were 
Sardinian subjects. 
The Independent of Turin insists upon the neces¬ 
sity of Sardinia adopting such measures as are nec¬ 
essary to maintain friendly relations with France. 
Montenegro. —Prince Danillo interdicts, under 
severe penalties, the slightest hostility to the Otto¬ 
man territory. 
India.— Bombay dates to the 18tli ult, had been 
received at London. The rebels are fleeing from 
Lucknow, and nearly all the cities were in posses¬ 
sion of the British troops. The artillery and caval¬ 
ry were in hot pursuit of fugitives. The fighting 
had not been very severe, and the loss to the troops 
was light. 
The latest news from Lucknow is to the morning 
of March 15, when nearly all the city was in the 
possession of the British, but few rebels remaining in 
it. Gen. Outram having turned the enemy’s line of 
works on the canal, the Martiniere was stormed by 
Sir Edward Ledyard, and the line of works seized 
on the 9th. The bank house was also occupied on 
the 11th. Jung Bahadoor moved into line, and the 
93d regiment, supported by the 42d, stormed the 
Begum Palace. The British loss was less than 100 
killed and wounded. The loss of the enemy is 500. 
Gen. Outram, on the north side of the Goomtee, 
seized, on the stone bridges, 500 Mollenly on the 
same day. The buildings in advance of the Begum’s 
Palace were occupied on the 14th. The Imman 
barrack was stormed, the Goorkhas assisting. The 
Kalserbago was entered after a fight lasting all day; 
was solidly occupied and twenty-four guns taken. 
Gen. Outram then crossed the iron bridge, and 
opened fire on the flying enemy. The British loss 
was not known at Bombay, but was supposed to be 
small. The enemy rushed by the artillery on the 
15th, flying from the city in great numbers. 
CniNA.—Hong Kong dates are to the 27th. The 
Boores were mustering in large numbers around 
Canton, determined on an attempt to retake the 
city. The representatives of the Allied Powers 
were preparing for their departure northwards, but 
it is said that visiting Pekin this year was given up. 
The Inflexible, with Yeh as a prisoner, arrived at 
Singapore on the 1st of March. 
Dispatches are said to have reached Paris from 
Canton, demanding reinforcements. The Chinese 
showed no disposition for peace. 
Commercial Intelligence. 
Breadstuff's. —Richardson, Spence & Co., quote flour 
very dull, and almost unsalable; quotations nominally as 
follows: — Western Cana! 21s@22s — Philadelphia and 
Baltimore 22@23s—Ohio 23@25s. Wheat dull but steady 
—Red 6s@6s6d—white 7s@7s6d. Corn quiet at 33s@34s— 
mixed and yellow 33s6d@34s6d—white 33s@34s6d. The 
Brokers’ Circular says that corn had advanced l@2s on the 
week. 
Provisions.— Pork heavy at 70s. Bacon dull and prices 
weak. Lard at 51s@52s.* Beef quiet and quotations 
barely maintained. 
REAPERS AND MOWERS. 
It is somewhat singular that the Chairman of the Com¬ 
mittee of Judges at the late trial of Reapers and Mowers 
by the U. S. Agricultural Society, at Syracuse, with seve¬ 
ral other persons, were upon the Committee of Judges at 
the Geneva Trial in 1852, and there are some striking co¬ 
incidences in the progress and results of these two trials. 
In the report of the trial at Geneva, the Committee say:— 
“The chief competition rested between Manny’s and 
Ketchum’ s,” that “the Manny Machine clogged twice;” 
the Ketchum Machine “ performed its work without inter¬ 
ruption;” that “the Manny Machine laid the grass in 
waves and not of uniform thickness over the surface of 
the field;” that the Ketchum Machine was “ remarkable 
for its compactness and simplicity of construction;” that 
it “performed its work admirably;” that “it was better 
done than could be performed by the most expert mower 
with a scythe;” that “it cut its allotment of two acres, 
in one hour and twenty-six minutes, and no interruption," 
while the time of Manny’s Machine could not be given, 
as it entirely failed to cut its allotment; and yet in view 
of all these facts, the first premium was not awarded to 
the Ketchum Machine, hut to a Machine that not only 
failed on the first day of this trial, but proved to be a 
total failure the next season throughout the country,—of 
which fact the manufacturers and many farmers must have 
some mortifying recollection. 
Now let us turn to the Report of the trial at Syracuse, 
last July. The machine to which was awarded the first 
premium, broke down in its first swath and did not cut its 
allotment on the first and most important day of the trial. 
The Ketchum Machine passed through the same swale (in 
which the first premium machine broke down) without 
any injury. 
So it would seem that both at Geneva and Syracuse, 
the Committee awarded the first premium to machines 
that entirely failed to perform on the first day of 
the trial. Had the Chairman at Syracuse had his own 
way, he would have given the first premium to the same 
machine that obtained the first premium at Geneva, to 
one that could not cut its first swath without being re¬ 
lieved of its burden of choking and clogging clover, with¬ 
out taking off its reel and part of its frame, and attaching 
a Ketchum Track Clearer; that did not cut its whole al¬ 
lotment on the first day; that “ cut badly around trees;” 
that cut “ uneven;” that “ cut in the field with a reel, but 
without it in the Dynamometer Trial,” thus playing fast 
and loose, and that was of heavier draft than seven other 
machines, and which, finally, declined cutting one of its 
allotments in the rye field on account of the uneven sur¬ 
face, which another machine cut with ease, although it 
might be supposed that the proprietors would have ven¬ 
tured one of the four machines they had entered for this 
trial, which was an advantage no other exhibitor had. 
Can such favoritism be shown unless some personal in¬ 
terest is at stake? Who can answer? Justice.

The Littles’ Murder. —In our issue of Dec. 27, 
1857, we briefly announced the fact of the finding 
the body of a young lawyer of this city, Chas. AY. 
Littles, under such circumstances as led to the 
belief that he had been foully dealt with. His 
wife and her brother, Marion Ira Stout, were held 
on suspicion, and the evidence before the Coroner 
was sufficient to commit them for trial. The trial 
of the brother was concluded last week, Judge 
Welles presiding, and the young man was con¬ 
victed and sentenced to he executed on the 18th 
of June next 
Weather and Trade in France.—A letter from 
Paris, dated April 1st, makes a statement in regard 
to the state of weather and trade, just as true of 
this region, as of the locality in respect to which 
it speaks:—“ We have met most seasonable weather 
here in France—moisture with heat promising 
most favorably for the harvest, hut the continued 
dullness of trade counteracts the beneficial effects 
of the season on the growing crops. The funds 
resist all attempts to sustain them, and railroad and 
other industrial shares follow in their decline all 
government securities.

eighty-four of the lakes of Minnesota, which vary 
in length from one to eighty-four miles. Many 
more were omitted, because they had no names.

IMPORTANT TO 
FARMERS AND GARDENERS! 
] JOR SALE—About 8,<K>0 Acres of good Garden and Farm 
Land, in the town of Islip, Long Island, about 43 miles from 
the City of New York, by the Long Islaud Railroad. This laud offers 
great opportunities for Gardeners and Farmers who may wish to settle 
on Bong Island, the soil Ix-ing a line warm ye’low loam, entirely free 
from stone or swamp; is from 18 inctes to 3 feet deep, and will pro¬ 
duce by ordinary culture, all kinds of graiu and fruits that can bo 
produced in the vicinity or latitude of New York. There is not much 
wood on it, though fiiteen years ago it was heavily timbered. Tile 
wuole tract is what mag be called an elevated table land, with a 
southern aspect, sloping to the south ateut twenty foot to the mile, and 
at the railroad, on tue north side or north end of this tract, the surface 
is 100 feet ateve tide water, distant five miles from the shore of the 
Great South Bay. Good water can be had on any part of the laud by 
wells, which on the north near the railroad are 40 feet <l“ep. with 
never-failing water, and on the southerly parts from 12 to 20 feet deep. 
The water on this part of the i-land is of remarkable purity, and the 
wells and streams never fail This part of Ixmg Island is famous for 
its line trout streams. The climate is healthy and p’easant; meteoro¬ 
logical records show that the temperature is ten degrees mi’der on 
Long Island in winter, and 10 degrees cooler in summer than the 
main shore in the same latitude. The summers on Long Island are 
particularly pleasant, as the air is always tempered by the sea breeze, 
and yet there are more clear and sunny days in the year, on Long 
Island, than in aDy other part of the State of New York. 
Wood and timber grow rapidly on the Island—every 18 or 20 years 
will produce a growth or crop of wood large enough for market 
The forest trees on this part of the Island are oak in variety, chest- 
mi', hickory, and locust. formerly in great abundance. On my land 
there is but little oak or chestnut and but little or no pine of large 
growth, as the timber and wood have teen destroyed by the axe, and 
by frequent burnings during the past 15 years, though there is a good 
deal of wood on portions, suitable for fire-wood ; on some parts a new 
and thrifty growth has started, ami in some places a change of forest, 
from pine to oak, seems to he taking place. The shrub or scrub oak 
of Long Island, about which so much lias teen said in connection 
with these lands, is not a tree, nor never enn be made a tree, or be¬ 
come a tree, no more tnan a lilac bush or quince, in any soil, no mat¬ 
ter how rich and fertile. It is a distinct shrub or dwarf, called also ilia 
tear oak, producing great quantities of acorns, and never grows more 
than 5 or 10 feet high, and on the Island it seems to perform the pari 
of a bramble, to overrun the land. 
It is of very vigorous growth, filling the ground full of its roots al¬ 
most like a mat. and where the forest trees have been destroyed by 
the axe or fire, these little oaks soon take entire possession of the 
ground, and grow so rank and vigorous that they smother and crowd 
out everything else. When the ground is cleared or made clear of 
these roots, by the process of digging them out by the hand, or grub¬ 
bing, as is the old and common mode on the Island, from twenty to 
forty loads of these roots are often taken from a single acre, in less 
than ten inches from the surface, thereby snowing the large amount of 
vegetable matter contained in the soil. The true and economical plan 
of clearing this land, is to kill and decompose this large quantity of 
these small roots iu the ground, which can tie very easily done by cut¬ 
ting over and fallow-burning the land, and then harrowing in a crop 
of rye or wheat, with clover and grass seed, or it can be plowed with 
a strong plow, made with a locked-coulter, with a sharp edge on both 
tlie coulter and share ; with such an instrument, with two yoke of 
good oxen, the ground can lie comp'etclv and thoroughly broken up 
'I he large stumps are mostly decaved or burnt out The large heavy 
" prairie plow" is not required. There is an abundance of oak and 
chestnut in the immediate vicinity, where the wood lauds have been 
taken care of. 
As to productions, white clover is indigenous ; wherever the ground 
is cleared otf trees and bushes, it springs up spontaneously, and any 
part cr all this tract can be filled with rod clover by simply putting 
the seed on the ground after the surface is cleared, without a particle 
of any fertilizer. All kirn's of small fruits are natural and in great 
abundance, such ns whortleberries, blackberries, raspberrties. straw¬ 
berries, and grapes. Apples, pears, cherries, quinces, plums, peaches, 
and apricots, grow well, and most of these grow in great quantity and 
high perfection. Wheat, rye, corn, clover, and timothy, anil everything 
that grows or can be raised on any farm, or in any garden on the 
Island, are produced in full crops on ibis land by ordinary culture and 
without any difficulty—it is easy to clear, and easy to till. 
The land near and adjoining the L. I. Railroad is, or hns been, 
mostly covered with yel'ow pine ; the growth was very heavy on it 
formerly. It may be here remarked that the pine lands of Long 
Island are different from and entirely unlike all and any oilier pine 
lands in the State of New York or in New England, and in this differ¬ 
ence consists the great merit of these Island lands for high culture.— 
The soil and subsoil are not loose and porous—the soil is a fine, firm, 
comnuct loam, of sufficient tenacity to make sun-dried brick right 
out of tne first 12 or 18 inches of the surface soil, on thousands of 
acres of these middle Island lands, and yet is not wet, nor cold, nor 
sour. 
1 am asked, “Does the land need underdrawing ?" Answer—No! 
It is the most completely and perfectly underdrained country in the 
world.—no art can equal it, no human power can make anything 
like it 
After penetrating or going through tho peculiar covering of the 
Island, tlie detritus or soil proper, which is everywhere spread over the 
Island's surface like a crust or blanket, to tlie depth of from 18 inches 
to 3 or 5 feet,—in many places to a much greater depth than 5 feet,— 
after going through this, tho fine, hard and compact gravel nnd sand 
are reached, which everywhere form tho main body of tho Island. This 
under-structure consists in many places of beautiful sea-washed 
quartz pebbles, intermixed witli fine siliclous sand, all firmly and 
hardly pressed together, forming the most complete and perfect under- 
drain or filter. In many places clays are found. “ Sands and loams, 
interstratifled with teds of gravel, boulders and clay form the strata of 
Long Island.”—(See Thompson's History of Long Island.) In some 
parts of the Island clays are very abundant, from which lurge quanti¬ 
ties of brick are made. 
It may bo inferred from this description, that the earth or soil is 
leacliy, or too porous. It is not so, and this is another peculiarity of 
the Island. These under-sands and gravel, are so firm and hard, that 
it seetns as though they had teen under an immense hydraulic pressure 
—(there are no quicksands,)—they are so firmly pressed together, tho 
interstices so filled with fine comminuted sand, almost levigated, that 
water does not pass rapidly through it, but iiercoliites slowly and grad¬ 
ually after leaving the surface. After rain tlie water soon disappears 
from the surface, so as to leave tlie soil in a condition to work very 
soon. This great underground work forms a vast reservoir of subter¬ 
raneous moisture of water, so far below tlie surface as to prevent any 
injury to vegetation, or not to Interfere with tlie temperature of the 
earth, commonly called “ bottom heat," but which supplies tlie numer¬ 
ous beautiful streams that arise near tho central parts of the Island, 
and (low to the shores. Tlie waters of these streams ure copious and 
as clear as crystal, as sweet and pure as water can Is-, never fail at any 
season of tlie year, are nearly or quite as full in July and August, as 
in April and May. Such a tiling as a dry mill-pond in the month of 
August, on one of these Island streams, is unknown. There is not a 
stagnant pool nor stream on tho whole Island. 
Another remarkable feature is, that on lands or farms not supplied 
with springs or streams, tlie manner in which water is held on the sur¬ 
face—the farmers adopt a mode of making “ surface pools,” or what are 
termed “ watering holes." to afford water for cattle. They are made 
simply by excavating a sort of basin in some place in tile field or on 
tlie farm where there is a gentle depression, by scoopiuy out the earth 
two or three feet deep in the middle, and 15 or 20 feet in diameter, and 
in some places puddling the tettom witli clay; in many places they 
need no puddling, only pressing or treading tlie soil firmly in the tet- 
tom. These places being filled by the rains, retain tlie water tlie whole 
summer without change or putrescence, and which cattle will use free¬ 
ly. It is seldom that one of these watering places fail, even in the 
diyest season. They are made on tlie elevated parts of the Island, 
more than 100 feet ateve tide-water, and may be called “open” or 
“surface cisterns." I have never seen anything of the kind in any 
otter part of the State of New York, 0mt would hold water during the 
entire summer. Tonindoes, floods or freshets arc unknown on Long 
Island, nor is tlie country infested witli deadly serpents or poisonous 
reptiles. 
No part of this tract is more than 5 miles from navigation,—thus, in 
fact, having tlie advantages and privileges of both Railroad and water 
communication witli the City of New York, die best market, probably, 
in tlie world, where a sure cash market can always lie had for every 
tiling that tlie farm or garden produces. I regard this land as having 
all the prospective advantages of a new country, without any of the 
privations or hardships commonly attendant on the settlement of a new 
country—all tlie privileges and benefits of old and long established set¬ 
tlements being close b 
Islip is an old town, haying teen settled near 200 years; and there 
are within three miles of this land many elegant and costly mansions, 
and highly cultivated farms and gardens—schools and churches.— 
These cultivated lands are valued at, and now command, from $100 to 
$500 per acre, and they nre no tetter than tills now offered. This land 
will be sold in lots or parcels to suit purchasers, at $20 per acre. 
Terms, from 10 to 25 per cent, at tlie option or convenience of the pur¬ 
chaser, cash, tlie balance in five years with yearly interest Title in¬ 
disputable. 
.More than fifteen years experience with and observation of these 
lands, satisfy me beyond all doubt of the truth of everything I have 
said in relation thereto, ami of tlie facts I speak from personal positive 
knowledge, and hold myself responsible to sustain everything I have 
ever said in relation to tlie Island and its lands, water, soi l, climate and 
health. *■ 
As a premium or inducement to settle and improve this land, I will 
give to each purchaser, or settler, who will make improvements, (un¬ 
til further notice,) a commutation ticket to pass over the Long Island 
Railroad between Brooklyn and North Islip, for one year, and also 
will carry out all his freight, lumber and building materials, at my own 
cost or charge, for one year.

THE NEW YORK SELF-RAKING REAPER, 
WITH MOWER COMBINED. 
SEYMOUR & MORCAN’S PATENT, 
Improved for tlie Harvest of 1©58. 
A S A REAPER it is more simple, and leas liable to get out of 
repair than any other Sdf Raker,-is easier lor the team than 
any hand-raker of equal width of cut—leaves a clean stubble of any 
desirable height Rakes off the grain better than is ordinarily dono 
by the test hand rakes. The size of tlie bundle is easily regulated by 
a slight pressure of the driver’s foot and is operated with the least 
possible amount of manual Inter. 
The Seif-Raker was awarded the First Premium at the National 
Trial in July last 
Asa Mower, it is lighter in draught than many machines which 
cut less width of swath;—leaves the cut grass in good condition, and 
starts at any point without backing to get up motion of tlie knife before 
coming to the grass. Tho motion of the knife is changed from slow, 
for reaping, to fast, for mowing, by using diff erent sized pinions,—se¬ 
curing a high motion when necessary, tuid avoiding it, mid tlie conse¬ 
quent loss of power and wear of tlie gearing, when unnecessary. Tho 
same cutter liar is used for both reaping and mowing, uiid tlie maclrino 
is easily and quickly converted to serve either purpose. 
For quality of material mid workmanship, strength, durability and 
efficiency, it is, as manufactured by us, not excelled os a combined 
machine. 
We manufacture two sizes,—one cutting five feet, designed for two 
horses ; the other cutting six feet or more, designed for four horses,
