MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL, LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 115 
foieigi) Jn)feilicje»)ce. 
Arrival of the Asia. 
The Royal Mail Steamer Asia arrived at 
Halifax March 30th, en route for Boston, with 
dates from Sebastopol to Saturday, the 17th 
ult., one week later than the advices received 
by the Atlantic. 
No event of startling importance had oc¬ 
curred during the week. From the seat of 
war the most important statement is that the 
allies have re-opened their fire on Sebastopol, 
and with good effect. 
The Roebuck Committee was still prosecu- 
ing inquiries on the conduct of the war. 
A manifesto from the new Emperor of Rus¬ 
sia to his army, is interpreted as a warlike 
demonstration. 
The manifesto issued by the new Emperor, 
is of an inspiring character ; referring to the 
endeavor of his father to improve the condi¬ 
tion of his troops, and declaring his adherence 
to his father’s plans, in this respect to the 
largest extent. It concludes, “may the sa¬ 
cred memory of Nicholas survive in our ranks 
as a terror to the foe, and for the glory of 
Russia. ’' 
Various rumors and statements as to the 
last moments of Nicholas are circulated.— 
Among them, one that he advised Alexander 
to make peace even at the sacrifice of Russian 
influence in the Black Sea, as he (Nicholas,) 
had not believed in a possibility of the Anglo- 
French alliance. This is regarded as doubtful. 
The Vienna conference formerly met on the 
loth March. There were present one French, 
two English, two Austrian, and two Turkish 
Representatives. The Russian Plenipotentiary 
was absent. The discussion on the general 
basis of negotiations terminated satisfactorily, 
and the Russian Representative accepted, vir¬ 
tually, the interpretation of the allies. Prus¬ 
sia refuses to accede to the treaty with the 
allies, and will not therefore be admitted to 
participate in the conference. 
The latest dates from Sebastopol are to the 
8 th. The allies had re-opened their fire upon 
the town, with good effect. The weather was 
clear and fine, and the health of the troops 
improving. Three miles of the railroad was 
in operation. 
Further particulars of the storming of the 
two Russian redoubts by the French, show 
that they were taken and blown up by the 
French, being untenable. The French lost 
100 killed and 300 wounded. The French 
were fortifying the valley of Inkerman. An 
official despatch says the seige works were 
proceeding with the greatest activity. 
The reported death of the Grand Duke Mi¬ 
chael was false. He and his brother had left 
the Crimea for St. retersburgh. Menschikoff 
had gone to Moscow, and Gen. Osten-Sacken 
was in command within Sebastopol, and Gen. 
Luders at Odessa. 
The Roebuck Committee was continuing its 
investigations into the war, eliciting evidence 
of the worst mismanagement. Parliamentary 
proceedings are unimportant. 
The Emperor Napoleon’s visit to the Crimea 
is as doubtful as ever. The charges against 
Gen. Forey, of intriguing with the Russians 
at Sebastopol, was denied by the Moniteur. 
but Forey is nevertheless recalled. 
The Belgium ministerial crisis continues. 
The Spanish Cortez have had Cuban affairs 
brought before them, and a recommendation 
from Gen. Concha to make liberal concessions 
to the Cubans. A new Bavarian loan of 6,- 
500,000 thalers is announced. 
Liverpool Markets. —There has been an 
improved tone in the market during the week, 
and prices have also improved, but the ad¬ 
vance has rather checked business. 
Brown, Shipley & Co., report an advance of 
2 d on wheat, Is on flour, and Is on corn.— 
Western Canal flour 41s a 42s for old, and 35s 
a 38s for new. For old Philadelphia and Bal¬ 
timore 43s a 44s, and for new 38s a 41s. 
White wheat 11s lOd a 12s 6d. Red 10s 6d 
a 11s 6d. Indian corn, white, 42s 6d a 43s.— 
Yellow 42s a 42s 6d. Mixed 41s 6d a 42s. 
Arrival of the Philadelphia. 
The steamship Philadelphia arrived at New 
York March 30, with Havana dates to the 
evening of the 23d, which were anticipated by 
the Crescent City at New Orleans. 
Much excitement prevailed at Havana, in¬ 
duced by the execution of Don Ramon Pinto, 
on the 22d. He met his fate heroically. His 
last words on the scaffold were—“ Friends, I 
die innocent. Iam a Spaniard!” The pop¬ 
ular feeling was at such a pitch that the Gov¬ 
ernor-General had not been seen in public since 
the event; and the body of the executed man, 
instead of remaining twelve hours, as custo¬ 
mary, was removed in three. The vindictive 
conduct of the Governor-General is severely 
censured, since he, upon the refusal of the Min¬ 
ister to sign the death warrant of Pinto, upon 
the ground of informality, convened a council 
of four, and by his casting vote, the council 
being equally divided, sealed the fate of the 
accused. 
The trial of Estampes and Felix was to have 
taken place this week. Our consul, Col. Rob¬ 
ertson, had insisted upon their liberation, but 
the result of his application was not known 
when the Isabel left. 
Upon the occasion of the firing at the steam¬ 
er Eldorado a second time, the Spanish frigate 
was some four miles off, and as her shot did 
not come within a mile and a half of the Eldo¬ 
rado, she kept on her way, and paid no atten¬ 
tion to the frigate. 
It was rumored that Concha had resigned, 
and that Gen. Campbell was to succeed him. 
During the year 1854, there were fifty-one 
steamboats built at Pittsburg, at an aggregate 
cost of $1,071,000. This does not include the 
freight and tow-boats built, the aggregate 
tonnage of which was 2,793. 
Henry Blodgett fell into a pond in Enfield, 
N. H., while getting out ice, on Saturday 
week, and was drowned. A little boy fell in 
at the same time, but Blodgett exerted him¬ 
self to place him on firm ice, and then perished. 
A Scotchman who was overpaid $100 about 
a year ago by one of the Indiana banks, a few 
days ago called at the Bank on his return from 
“ out west,” and returned the identical $100, 
which he had kept sewed up in his pantaloons 
for a whole year. 
It is said that Coleman & Stetson have taken 
the lease of the Astor House, New York city, 
for eleven years, from the next first of May, 
at an advance on the present rate of $3,000 
per annum, Mr. Astor agreeing to spend $15,- 
000 for improvements and repairs. 
[ From Life Illustrated.] 
Cisterns and Filters:—I observe in the 
March number of the Water Cure Journal some timely 
remarks by Dr. Shew on the importance of using pure 
soft water, with suggestions how to procure the same. 
On this subject I have wondered that so little has been 
written on tho necessity of pure soft water, as having a 
direct sanitary effect upon the general health, while there 
are a variety of books and papers treating largely on the 
importance of pure air, proper ventilation, food, exer¬ 
cise, etc. And while these are very important, still the 
purity of the water we drink and use for culinary pur¬ 
poses is scarcely second to the purity of the air we 
breathe as affecting the general health. 
From chemical analysis we know tho human system 
is composed of about three-fourths of water, and is so 
constantly in circulation, it ought to be as pure as possi¬ 
ble, by whatever means procured, presuming that what¬ 
ever is taken into tho circulation is healthy in proportion 
to its purity. 
It is, I believe, admitted by all our most experienced 
physiologists and medical men, that the hard waters, 
holding in solution organic impurities, aside from the 
carbonate and sulphate of lime, are a direct irritating, if 
not a croating cause of many diseases of tho bowels, 
kidneys, and, in fact, all the digestive organs, especially 
in cities and largo villages, where great impurities 
exist from the decomposition of animal and vegetable 
matter. These deleterious substances inevitably And 
their way through the porous earth from vaults, sewers, 
and other repositories of decaying mattor, into wells and 
springs, and no method can be devised to prevent it.— 
The people living in the Western States particularly, suf¬ 
fer much from the use of impure water, and it is, no 
doubt, a fruitful source of agues and fevers, and other 
common ills. Persons living in limestone sections of 
country, or where tho water is impure from other causes, 
ought to have recourse to rain-water cisterns and pro¬ 
perly constructed iiiters. 
I wish to call attention to a filter (see advertisement) 
I have made, which has been fully tested, and has given 
the highest satisfaction to hundreds of our own citizens 
here and elsewhere, who have used them constantly for 
many years, but were not complete in tho inside fix¬ 
tures, so they could be transported in safety, until with¬ 
in two years. They aro made of oak, iron-bound tubs, 
with a stone-ware reservoir inside, so arranged that from 
one to four gallons can bo drawn every hour, according 
to the size of tho filter. They are of sufficient capacity 
and durability for all family uses, and are kept in order 
for a very nominal sum. They are being used with the 
greatest acceptance at the West, and other sections of 
country, with increasing demand as they become known, 
and have agencies in many of the principal cities—have 
sent them per order to Canada, Cuba, California, Austra¬ 
lia, and other distant places. We intend hereafter to 
make five sizes, which retail here at five, six, eight, ten 
and twelve dollars each, subject to transportation, of 
course, if ordered from here or if purchased of agents 
elsewhere. I have also added some other important ad¬ 
ditional improvements recently. I wish at another time 
to speak of cisterns, mode of keeping them clean, and 
other incidental items connected with the subject.

CMACLTJRA) OR OSAGE ORANGE HEDGES. 
H. W. Pitkin, Manchester, Connecticut, 
Dealer in Seeds and Plants. 
In consequence of the increasing demand for this re¬ 
markable hedge plant, my exclusive attention is now 
given to the business. Seed is yearly gathered by my 
own agents, and may be relied upon as fre3h and genu- 
uine. As many porsons prefer the plants ready for set¬ 
ting in hedge, I have established nurseries in different 
sections of the country, where they are raised on an ex¬ 
tensive scale, and in a most economical manner. Deal¬ 
ers in seed furnished regularly and at reasonable prices.

THE CONCORD GRAPE. 
Messrs. HOVEY & CO., No. 7. Merchants’ Row, Boston, 
are again sending out 
MR. BULL’S NEW AND SUPERIOR GRAPE, 
The stock of which has been placed in their hands for 
sale. This very remakable American variety is the 
greatest acquisition that lias ever yet been made to our 
hardy nativo grapes. It is sufficiently hardy to with¬ 
stand the coldest climate, and early enough to ripen its 
fruit in any part of the Northern or New England States. 
It is four wooks earlier than the Isabella, and about two 
weeks earlier than the Diana. It is fully ripe from the 
3 d to tho 10th of September, and fine specimens have 
been exhibited the last two years, at that date, before 
the Mass. Hort. Society. 
It is a most vigorous growing vino, perfectly hardy, 
with bunches of large size, handsomely shouldered, of¬ 
ten weighing a pound, and with large roundish oval ber¬ 
ries, frequently measuring an inch in diameter; color 
very dark, covered with a thick blue bloom ; flesh soft, 
tender and juicy ; flavor very rich and luscious, with a 
fine sprightly aroma. The foliage is large, broad and 
thick: and the berries have never been known to mildew, 
rot, or drop off, under any circumstances, during the five 
years since it has borne fruit. Good judges who have 
tasted it pronounce it superior to the Isabella in its ripest 
condition. 
The following testimony wo select from a multitude of 
letters received from pomologists and cultivators, who 
tasted the grapes the last autumn : 
“ Our Concord grapes we purchased of you last spring 
have grown finely; we think it a noble grape, and will 
have a great run. 1 ’— Geo. Seymour k Co., South Norwalk, 
Conn. 
“They gave the utmost satisfaction, and every good 
judge of fruit said they wore decidedly better than the 
Isabella.”—,/. D.Ingersoll, Ilian, N. Y. 
“ Possesses in a high degree the essential properties 
of a perfect grape.”— J. Reynolds, Sec. Farmers’ Club. 
“ Tho most beautiful new hardy grape is undoubtedly 
the Concord.”— J. F. Allen, in Rep, of Mass. Hort. Soc. 
“ We rogare this grape as an important acquisition.” 
— Horticulturist, Dec. , 1854. 
“ Its early ripening alone ought to secure it a place in 
every garden.”— N. Y. Tribune. 
“As a hardy vine, and an earlj r , large and showy 
fruit for market, we shall not probably find anything to 
compote at tho North with the Concord grape.”— Country 
Gimtleman. 
“In appearance, larger and finer than the Isabella, 
and quite as pleasant in their flavor.”— Ohio Farmer.

ATKIN’S SELF-RAKING REAPER & MOWER. 
Three seasons use of this ingenious, beautiful, and yet 
simple Macqine, furnish convincing proof of practical 
worth. Three Hundred, scattered into nineteen different 
States the past season, mostly in inexperienced hands, and 
nearly all giving good satisfaction, cutting from fifty to six 
hundred acres, proves it not only strong and servicable, 
but also simple aud easily managed. It saves not only 
the hard work of raking, but lays the grain in such good 
order as to save at least another hand in binding. 
It is warranted to be a good, durable, Self-Raking 
Reaper, and I have also succeeded in attaching a mowing 
bar, so that I also warrant it as a Mower. 
Price, at Chicago, of Reapers, $170 ; of Mowing Bar. $30.
