SEPT. 11. 
MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Arrival of the Pacific and Africa. 
The new steamer Pacific, of the Galway and New 
York line, arrived at St. Johns on the 2d inst,, and 
the Africa at New York on same day. 
Great Britain.— The announcement of the col¬ 
lision between the Arabia and Europa, reached 
England per Atlantic Telegraph, on the 20th, and 
was the first public message sent East through the 
Cable. 
The ship Essel, with 75,000 ounces of gold, had 
arrived from Melbourne. 
A project is on foot for running a railway to 
Yalentia. 
The fact that an inquiry could be sent from Lon¬ 
don, and a reply of some length be received from 
Newfoundland in two and a half hours, had been 
demonstrated in the matter of the collision be¬ 
tween the Arabia and the Europa, and wa3 regard¬ 
ed with great satisfaction. 
The American barque Champion arrived at Gib¬ 
raltar on the 12th, having on board Mrs. Stanback, 
the widow of the United States Consul, who was 
recently murdered by the Turks, at Jaffa, together 
with her family. 
The messages which passed between the Queen of 
England and President Buchanan over the wires of 
the ocean telegraph cable, were published in Lon¬ 
don on the 23d August, and excited comment, es¬ 
pecially the dispatch of Mr. Buchanan. 
The Daily News says there is more of simple 
dignity in the Queen's message, but great grasp of 
thought in the President’s response, with perhaps 
a dash of ambitious straining after effect. The 
News says, also, that it would have been better for 
the President to have omitted the last paragraph. 
France.— The Emperor and Empress returned 
to St, Cloud on the eve of the 21st, from their tour 
in Brittany. 
The bombardment of Jiddah is said to have ta¬ 
ken the French government quite by surprise, and 
caused some uneasiness in Paris, but explanations 
which were made to General Pellisier in London, 
were considered satisfactory, and the uneasiness 
subsided. 
Some Italians had been arrested at Cherbourg 
and Paris, and the Paris police were exercising a 
marked surveillance at the station of the Great 
Western Railway. 
The Government had been informed that Maz- 
zina had left London. 
The Moniteur announces that a Treaty had been 
concluded with China. The ports are thrown open. 
The Christian religion is allowed to be freely prac¬ 
ticed. Foreign Consuls and diplomatic agents are 
to be admitted to Pekin. An indemnity is to be 
paid to England and France. 
Austria.— The Empress of Austria was safely 
delivered of a Prince on the 21st of August. 
Prussia.— The rumor is gaining ground that the 
definite abdication of the King of Prussia has be¬ 
come absolutely necessary. His disease is getting 
worse. There are some fears that the event will 
bring on a political crisis. 
Spain.— The Spanish government has announced 
a decree that all merchant vessels, whether native 
or foreign, shall pay light-house duties only once. 
China—T ho dispatch announcing the Treaty of 
Peace, as sent to this country by the noean tele¬ 
graph, and also by the steamer Africa, still lacks 
positive confirmation, but is generally credited in 
Europe. 
It reached the French Government through its 
Embassy at St. Petersburg, where it arrived over¬ 
land, being dated Teiu-Sein, Aug. 7th—more than 
three weeks later than the dates received in 
England.

Governor Richardson, of Nebraska, has called a

each other, and not offering ample security to life

“ Horas non numero nisi serenas.” 
I NUMBER NONE BUT SUNNY HOURS. 
The Sun Dial, the most ancient registrar of time, has 
hitherto been prevented from general use by the expense 
necessary to made them ornamental, accurate, and dura- 
I ble. The undersigned has succeeded in 
making, at a very moderate cost, a dial of 
great beauty and excellent workmanship, 
and at a very low price. The dial is made 
of copper, plated with pure silver, with 
the equation of time engraved upon it — 
It also has a mirror inserted, which re¬ 
flects the clouds and marks their direc¬ 
tion. A cast-iron Doric column painted 
like stone is furnished with the dial — 
Placed in front of a dwelling, on a lawn, 
or in a garden, it is more attractive and 
ornamental than any piece of costly stat¬ 
uary, and at the same time permanently 
useful. No suburban residence, farm, or 
factory should be without this classic 
register of time. They can be sent safely 
to any part of the United States, and are 
furnished ready for shipping at $15.— 
This amount inclosed to subscriber will 
insure their prompt delivery. Directions 
for erecting and setting them are sent 
along. Direct to

pearls, if the head is bereft of ita covering, or the hair be snarled and 
shriveled, harsh and dry, or worse still, if sprinkled with gray, nature 
will lose more than half her charms. Prof Wood’s Hair Restorative, 
if nsed two or three times a week, will restore and permanently secure 
to all such an ornament Read the following and judge. The writer 
of the first is the celebrated Pianist, Thatberg: 
Dr. Wood:— New York, April 19,1858. 
Dear Sir ,—Permit me to express to you the obligations I am 
under for the entire restoration of my hair to its original color ; about 
the time of my arrival in the United States it was rapidly becoming 
gray, but upon ths application of your “ Hair Restorative” it soon 
recovered its original hue I consider your Restorative as a very 
wonderful invention, quite eflications as well as agreeable. 
I am, dear sir, yours truly, S. THALBERO. 
“Drych a’r Cwyliedydct” 
Welsh Newspaper Office, 13 Nassau St., April 12,1858. 
Prof. O. J. Wood :— liar Sir ,—Some month or six weeks ago I 
received a bottle of your Hair Restorative and gave it my wife, who 
concluded to try it ou her hair, little thinking at the time that it would 
restore the gray hair to its original co lor, but to her as well as my 
surprife, after a few weeks’ trial it has performed that wonderful ef¬ 
fect by turning all the gray hairs to a dark brown, at the same time 
beautifying mid thickening the hair. I strongly recommend the above 
Restorative to all persons iu want of such a change of their hair. 
„ CHARLES CARDEW. 
The Restorative is put up in bottles of 3 sizes, viz : large, medium, 
and small; the smalt holds % a pint, and retails for one dollar a botr 
tie ; the medium holds at least twenty per cent more in proportion 
than the small, retails for two dollars per bottle ; the large holds a 
quart, 40 per cent more in proportion, and retails for $3.

I N order to advance the Interests of Agriculture more effectually 
than I can by spending monoy In attending public trials, which 
often are very unsatisfactory to the public, I offer the following 
premiums: 
1st.—ONE HUNDEED AND FIFTY DOLLARS 
To the farmer who shall cut the greatest number of acres of grass and 
grain, in the shortest time, in the best manner, and with the least ex¬ 
pense, with Ketchum’s Combined Machine, manufactured this year, 
during the ensuing harvest. 
2d.—ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS 
To the farmer who shall cut with any Ketchmn Combined Machine, 
not less than fifty acres of grass and fifty acres of grain In like manner. 
3d.—ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS 
To the farmer who shall cut one hundred acres of grass, with any 
Kotchum Mower, in like manner. 
4th.—FIFTY DOLLARS 
To the farmer, who shall cut fifty acres of grass, in liko maimer, with 
any Ketchum Mower. 
5th.—TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS 
To the fanner, who shnll harvest twenty acres of clover seed, with any 
Ketchum Machine, in like manner. 
The grass must yield not less than one and a half tons to the acre. 
The said work to be done with machines manufactured by the sub¬ 
scriber, at Buffalo, N. Y. 
Farmers competing for tho above premiums shall forward an affida¬ 
vit or affidavits, setting forth the facts, viz: the kind of land, crop and 
amount thereof per ncre, the quality of work, length ef stubble, time 
occupied, giving the hours, and the expense incurred for labor or re¬ 
pairs, stating each item and such other circumstances as may be 
proper, together with the number of tiie machine and the year pur¬ 
chased, to T. C. Peters, of Ilarien, Cen. Co., N. Y, before tiie 1st of 
September next, who shall have the privilege of making or having 
a personal examination made, or may require additional proof before 
making his award. 
I will furnish blanks for affidavits to any person, and reserve the 
privilege of publishing any of the statements and the awards hi my 
next cireulsr. Two premiums shall not bo awarded to the same person. 
The result of accurate trials of this kind, will enuble tile public to 
Judge with more certainty of the value of Reaping and Slowing Ma¬ 
chines compared with the scythe and cradle, than can be done at trials 
as usually conducted, for the reason that so small a quantity of either 
grass or grain is cut, that it is difficult for Committees to judge with 
scrupulous accuracy of the features and capacity of the different ma¬ 
chines. R. L. HOWARD,
