MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
ITitcnnrj} ftoticcs. 
The Rpsso-Turkish Campaigns of 1828 and 1829.—With 
a View of the Present stite of Affaire in the East. By' 
Col. C iesxey, it. A., Ac. With an Appendix and Maps. 
Kkdfikld, New York. —1854. 
One benefit, of no small moment will result 
from the present war between Turkey and Itus- 
6ia—for all the civilized world, if not “ the rest 
of mankind,” may soon become familiar with 
the history of those countries and their govern¬ 
ments. Among the many works tending to this 
result, Col. Ch esnf.v’s is one of the most inter¬ 
esting and valuable. His long residence in the 
dominions of the Sultan, while surveying the 
rivers Tigris and Euphrates, and location at the 
seat of war in European Turkey in 1829, render 
him peculiarly qualified to form correct views 
relative to Eastern affairs. The volume gives a 
clear history of the former war, and the causes 
of the recent breach between Russia and the 
Ottoman Empire. An Appendix contains the 
Diplomatic correspondence between the four 
Powers, and the Secret correspondence between 
the Russian and English governments. For 
sale by Dewey. 
Life and Savings of Mrs. Partington, and others of 
the Family. Edited by B. P. Siiii.i.auer, of the Boston 
Post. J.O. Dkiiiiy, New York. —1804. 
When our friend Derby left. Auburn for a 
wider and more appropriate sphere of action we 
“ reckoned ” that his enterprise and reputation 
would enable him to cope successfully with the 
best-established Metropolitan publishers—and 
his first New York book proves that we were 
not mistaken. It is a perfect beauty in typog¬ 
raphy, illustrations, ifcc., and fully proves that 
“some things can be done better than others.” 
And the contents of the volume are equally rich; 
and those who wish to possess the genuine scin¬ 
tillations of the sententious Mrs. Partington— 
the most popular Yankee institution of the day 
—will govern themselves accordingly. Forsale 
by Wanzku, Bardsley A Co. 
The Myrtle Wreath, or Stray Leaves Recalled. By 
Minnie Myrtle. Chas. Scribner, New York.—1S54. 
Tins is an excellent volume, comprising nu¬ 
merous sketches, in prose and verse, originally 
contributed to the X. Y. Times, Independent., 
National Era, and other periodicals. Though 
apparently clothed in the garb of fiction, the 
author asserts that “ Imagination and fancy have 
had little to do with these sketches—her motto 
is Truth.” The work certainly embraces many 
beautiful sketches of elevated moral tone, and 
as such, is worthy of commendation. 'Flic vol¬ 
ume comprises nearly 400 pages, and is publish¬ 
ed in Scribner’s best style. For sale by Dar- 
row <.t Brother. 
Tin: Edinburgh Review —for April, 1S54. Re-published 
by Leonard, Scott & Co., New York. 
An excellent number of a Review which is 
always able and readable. The first article, on 
Mormonism, will be read with peculiar interest 
at the present juncture. Those entitled “ John 
Locke— his Character and Philosophy,” “ His¬ 
tory of the French Protestant Refugees,” and 
“ Consumption of food in the United Kingdom,” 
will attract attention. For sale by Dewey. 
A Defence of the Eclipse of Faith, by its Author; be¬ 
ing a Rejoinder to Prof. Newman’s “ Reply.” Also, 
the “Reply” to “The Eclipse of Faith,” by F. W. 
Newman; together with his Chapter on “The Moral 
Perfection of Jesus,” re-piinted from the third edition 
of “ Phases of Faith.” Crosby, Nichols, & Co., Bos¬ 
ton.—1854. 
This lengthy and somewhat comprehensive 
title gives an idea of the discussions comprised 
in a handsome volume of some two hundred 
pages. Forsale by Wanzkr, Beardsley it Co. 
Stop Thief !!—The following interesting no¬ 
tice is taken from the Pennsylvania Gazette, of 
February 22d, 1738 ; 
Stolen. —On the 15th inst, by one William 
Lloyd, out of the house of Beiy. Franklin, an 
half-worn Sagalhee coat, lined with silk, fom 
line I omespun shirts, a fine Holland shirt,rutiled 
at the hands and bosom, a pair of black broad¬ 
cloth breeches new seated and lined with leath¬ 
er, two pair of good worsted stockings, one of a 
dark color and the other of a lightish blue, a 
coarse Cambric handkerchief, marked with an 
F. in red silk, a new pair of Calf-skin shoes, a 
boy’s new Castor hat, and sundry other things. 
S’. 1>. The said Lloyd pretends to understand 
Latin and Greek, and has been a schoolmaster ; 
he is an Irishman, about thirty years of age, tali 
and slim ; had on a lightish colored great coat, 
red jacket, a pair of black silk breeches, an old 
felt hat, too little for him, and sowed on the side 
of the Crown with white 'l’hiead, and an old 
dark color’d Wig ; but may perhaps, wearsome 
of the stolen Clothes above mentioned. 
Whosoever secures the said Thief so that he 
may be brought to Justice, shall have Thirty 
{shillings Reward, and reasonable charges paid 
by B. Fkankkin.

Arrival of the Europa, 
Arrest of a Fugitive Slave. —A colored man, 
named James Worthington, was arrested in Ak¬ 
ron tins morning, by Deputy Marshal Denis.— 
The whole town turned out to the aid of the 
alleged fugitive; a great excitement prevailed, 
and the man was rescued, and delivered to his 
friends, in connection with the criminal charge 
of being a slave, was one trumped up of coun¬ 
terfeiting. Of course this was false, as the man 
has lived in Akron fifteen years, and has an ir¬ 
reproachable character. The citizens said to 
the Marshal that if Worthington was charged 
with crime committed in Ohio, he should an¬ 
swer to the laws, and he put under preliminary 
examination,and all aid rendered to the officers 
in the matter ; but if be was accused of taking 
care of his own personal liberty only, he should 
never be taken from Akron. The Marshal saw 
fit to leave on the first train.— Clone. Herald, 18th. 
Thf. Europa arrived at New York, May 19th. 
The bombardment of Odessa is fully confirm¬ 
ed. The batteries were all destroyed. Twelve 
Russian vessels destroyed, and thirteen laden 
with ammunition captured, the tower and neutral 
property spared. The combined fleet have left 
for iSebastoj ol. The Turks have captured l’etu, 
the principal point of tlie Greek insurrection.— 
The insurgents had one hundred and fifty men 
killed. The Russians have been defeated in an 
encounter between Sdistria and Rasova. The 
Turks also made a gallant attack upon Silistria, 
but were compelled to retire, owing to the over¬ 
powering stiength of the Russians. 
It is stated that Omar Pacha, on the 18t.h or 
19th of April, advanced with 70,000 men toward 
Dobrudscha, and a battle took place with Gen. 
Luder’s corps, between Silistria and Rasova. 
A Polish Legion, to operate against the Czar, 
lias been established in Turkey. The Russian 
tleet is said Lo have left Sebastopol. 
No fighting in the Baltic. The fleet was 
closely blockading all the Russian ports. 
On the 19th much excitement was produced 
by the publication, by the London Herald, of 
the following paragraph: 
“ News has reached the Admiralty that an 
American clipper, the Grape Shot, has captured 
a French met chant ship off the Land’s End.— 
The Grape Shot cleared out of New York on 
the 22d for St, Thomas, with 1500 packages 
on board, professedly of hardware, but really 
containing muskets, supposed to be bound to 
Findland, and failing of debarkation there, for 
the Mediterranean.” 
Arrival of the Franklin. 
Thf. steamship Franklin arrived at New York 
May 22d. with dates from Liverpool to May 10. 
The Franklin brought 130 passengers, and 
among them M. DeCaita, Minister from Spain, 
and Mr. Winslow, special bearer of despatches 
from Spain. 
When off Nantucket Shoals in the fog, the 
Franklin came in contact with the propeller 
Wiliam Penn. No serious damage done. 
It was understood that Lord Elgin was charg¬ 
ed with a special communication from the En¬ 
glish Government to the President of the United 
Slates. 
No news of exciting interest from the scat of 
war. 
The Arctic had not been telegraphed on the 
sailing of the Franklin. 
There is nothing important from the Black 
Sea or the Danube. 
A camp of 1UU,000 men is to be formd near 
St. Omers — partly as a demonstration against 
Drussia, and partly to throw troops thence into 
the Baltic when necessary. 
The Russians had evacuated Krajova, and had 
offered a new proposition to Austria, but it had 
not been received. 
Commercial News. 
Breapstuffs. —Richardson reports extensive 
demand for Flour, and despite the large import¬ 
ations, an advance of 13d on really line Phila¬ 
delphia, Ohio and Baltimore—sales having been 
made at 39@4l)s. Indian Corn in better request 
and recovered 18d of last week’s decline. 
Provisions. —McHenry reports Beef advanced 
and Pork very firm. Bacon moves freely and 
the decline is seemingly arrested. Lard in good 
demand at previous prices. 
Emigration from Liverpool. —From the Gov¬ 
ernment emigration returns, we learn that 31,- 
509 emigrants'left Liverpool during month of 
April, for Canada, Australia and the United 
States, being the greatest number ever known to 
have left the shores of the Mersey in one month; 
and the present month bids fair to exceed in 
numbers that of the past one. The netv Ameri¬ 
can clipper ship Red Jacket, Gapt. Reed, sailed 
from the Mersey for Melbourne with sixteen 
cabin and 438 second-cabin passengers. 
Stampede in the Illinois Penitentiary —The 
Alton papers last received contain full accounts 
of the attempt of several convicts to escape from 
the penitentiary in that city. Thursday after¬ 
noon, as the convicts were returning from the 
dining hall to the work shops, four of them sud¬ 
denly mude a break far the wall, and throwing 
against it a long beam which lay in the yard, 
climbed to ti e top, jumped over, and endeavor¬ 
ed to make their escape across the bluffs. The 
guard in the guard-box at the time gave the 
alarm, and at the same time fired five or six 
guns at them. Two were shot in the arm, one 
above and one below the elbow. A number of 
citizens immediately started in pursuit, and suc¬ 
ceeded in capturing three of them. 
Munificence of a Single Lady. —Miss Caro¬ 
line Plummer died at Salem on the 15th inst., at 
the age of 74 years. By a course of rigid econo¬ 
my and self-denial, she had accumulated a for¬ 
tune of $U)U,000. By her will she bequeathed 
more to public uses than has ever been left by 
any resident of Salem, viz., the sum of $15,Out) 
to Harvard College, to found a “ Professorship 
of the heart,” i. e. for Moral Philosophy; the 
sum of $30,000 to the Salem Athemeuiu, and 
(after other private bequests) the residue of her 
estate, which will probably be about $30,000, to 
found a Farm School at Salem.— Has. Tram’pt. 
H-iF" The citizens of St. Louis city and coun¬ 
ty, by much the largest vote they have ever 
given on any question of internal improvement, 
instructed tne County Court on the btli inst., to 
subscribe $1,200,000 to the stock of the Pacific 
Railroad, and to pay the same by the levy of a 
direct tax on the property of themselves, the cit¬ 
izens, so yoting. 
ComnurnaL 
BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
Resolutions have been adopted by the 
McUucal Society of Berks County', Pa., directing 
the members of the Society to furnish to their 
Secretary a list ot such of their patients as do 
not pay their doctors’ bills. 
There hag been no arrival from California since our last. 
The Africa, for Liverpool, May 17th, took out $358,994 86 
and the Washington, on Saturday the 20th, $737,745 which 
sums together f ill short of the last California arrivals, by 
more than half a million. Another steamer will also be 
due from the Isthmus before anoth-r European steamer 
sails. The whole amount of coin and bullion exported 
thus far, this year, is upwards of eleven and a half mil¬ 
lions. 
The Secretary of the Treasury gives notice that the time 
of redemption of C. S. Stocks not due, and the premium 
offered therefor will he extended to the first of July next. 
The New York Central Railroad has advertised for a 
loan of $3,000,00(1, for which bonds of the company will 
he given, convertible inio stock. This loan is to he appli¬ 
ed to finishing the double track through from Albany to 
Buffalo, building suitable depots and providing an increase 
of rolling stock, after which this will he one of the most 
perfect, as well as the most gigantic railroad corporations 
in existence.

Scarcely is it possible to add to the recommendations of 
the above book, more than to give its title page. Every 
one who is engaged in buying, selling, measuring or in¬ 
specting Lurnner of any kind, will at once appreciate a 
work ot this kind. No pains or expense has been spared 
in revising and enlarging this edition, to make it in every 
respect, convenient and accurate.

eacli and every log, from 12 to 44 inches in diamtter, and 
tile width of each boa: d taken, after taking off the wane

The best evidence of the usefulness and popularity of

THOUSAND COPIES.' in a few years, which is, by far, 
the largest sale of any hook of the kind ever issued from 
the American Press. 
I do not hesitate to say that no hook of its size and price 
contains more useful or correct tables. 
In all new and lumber countries the book will be found 
very convenient, as it comprises much that is useful for 
the Farmer, Mechanic and Business Man.

Tiif. fact that the circulation of the W. G. &. S. R. has 
more than trebled during the past two years, and is daily 
increasing, induces us to venture an enlargement aud im¬ 
provement, which will at once render the work far more 
acceptable and valuable, if not indispensable, to all engaged 
in Wool Growing, the breeding of Improved Stock, or the 
rearing of Domestic Animals generally. Though our 
arrangements are not entirely completed, we can safely 
announce that — 
On the commencent of its Sixth Volume, July, 1951, the 
Wool Grower and Stock Register will be enlarged to 
Thirty Two Pages monthly, printed upon new and hand¬ 
some type, mid essentially improved in other respects. 
The Yearly Volume will comprise 391 octavo pages,* or 
double the number contained in the present, (exclusive of 
the advertising cover, which will probably he omitted.)— 
This will give ample room for the discussion of many sub¬ 
jects which require attention, but which we can scarcely 
notice with our present limited space. Among other 
matters, we propose to publish Pedigrees of pure bred 
cattle, horses, sheep, &c., aud to give the names, residence, 
&e., of the principal breeders of Improved Stock through¬ 
out the country — for the mutual benefit of owners aud 
those desirous of purchasing. 
Arrangements are making to improve the quality, as 
well as increase the amount of reading matter. Regarding 
the reliability and value of its Contents as of far more 
importance than the size or appearance of the paper, we 
shall endeavor to secure the assistance, as contributors to 
its pages, of the best and most experienced writers on the 
various subjeets discussed,—and cordially invite the co¬ 
operation of all disposed to aid in enhancing its value and 
usefulness. 
Although we hope to double the value of the paper, its 
subscription price will not be increased — except perhaps 
to clubs of 20 or over. Single copies will be furnished at 
Fifty Cents—5 copies for $2, and 8 for £3. jjjp” The first 
five volumes, bound in colored paper, will be sent post-paid, 
and the numbers of the 6th volume as issued, for $3. 
The attention of all interested‘in the subjects and objects 
of a Stock Journal, is respectfully solicited. The readei s 
of the Rural New-Yorker ai e especially invited to give the 
W. G. & S. R. an examination, and, if approved, their en¬ 
couragement. Specimen numbers, &c., cheerfully sent, 
gratis, to all applicants. Address

strength, (to keep in tune.) exquisite touch—soft, deep, 
rich, fall and melodious tones—as induces the belief, so 
ofnn expressed by those who have bought, or used them, 
that “they surpass all others in the market.” Their su¬

casion, awarded us the three highest premiums, when in 
competition with Chickering, t.ilbeit. Bacon A Ravens,

celebrity, fully justifies the report of that committee. They 
are manufactured of the best materials, in the most per¬ 
fect manner, with metallic plates, upon the Iso Chordai 
scale, with the Iso Bason Damper, and French Grand Ac 
tion. expressly for retailing —(numerous applications at 
wholesale, being constantly lefused.) and can only be had 
at rav rooms, where the instruments will be shown, and 
all orders promptly attended to. As it is fully settled that 
a good Plans is cheap at almost any price, and a poor one 
only a nuisance; and as I rely alone upon their merits to 
secure them favor with the public, I invite for them, the 
most careful examination and scrutiny, by all who wish to

KETCHUM'S MOWING MACHINE, 
This machine stands without a successful rival, as the 
mowing machine of the age. The supply will not be equal 
to the demand. If any person desires one for the coming 
season, they cannot speak too soon. The uniform price at 
Buffalo is 8110,00. All who will forward us an order ac¬

FORBUSK’S MOWING AND HEAPING MACHINE. 
Paler.tcd July 20, 1852. 
The American Mowing and Reaping Machine Co. have 
purchased the Patent Right for the above Machine for the 
United States, England and Canada, and are now manufac¬ 
turing a large number to supply the demands of the com- 
season. The advantages which this machine possesses 
over all others are obvious, and will readily be acknowl¬ 
edged by all disinterested persons. Being a combined ma¬ 
chine, and working equally well in grain orgrass.it enables 
the farmer of moderate means to procure a valuable Reap, 
er and Mower in one, which will uo the work of both, and 
at less than half the usual cost. As a Mower it has no su¬ 
perior; it was thoroughly tested the past season in every 
variety of grass, and in many different sections of the 
country, and in every case where it was properly made, it 
gave perfect satisfaction. It will cut and spread from 10 to 
15 acres of any kind of grass per day. As a Reaper it has 
never been excelled, and has no rival that can in ail respects 
successfully compete with it. The patent for this machine 
covers many points of excellence which have heretofore 
been unknown, and which (of course) can be used in no 
other. In the construction and arrangement of these ma¬ 
chines great pains have been taken to ensure the necessary 
strength, simplicity and durability. They are easily kept 
in order, and it requires but a few moments to change the 
machine from a Mower to a Reaper, and in either form it 
is equally strong and substantial. It is not liable to get 
out of order, and if any accident should happen it couid be 
readily repaired by any ordinary meclianie. in the con¬ 
struction of the machines no expense has been spared to 
render them both perfect and durable. The Mower weighs 
but 731 lbs.—the Mower and Reaper combined 900 lbs. To 
any person desirous of purchasing, or of understanding 
the machine more fully, illustrated circulars will be sent 
with full descriptions, references, Ac., Ac.

KETCHUM'S IMPROVED MOWING MACHINE, 
With entire change of Ceak, the only Successful 
Mower Now Known. 
Ketchum’s Improved Machine, which we are building for 
the harvest of ’o4, was thoroughly tested last season, and 
the advantages gained by our change of Gear are in all re¬ 
spects as we designed, viz: durability, convenience and ease 
of action. The shafts now have bearings at both ends, 
which overcomes all cramping and cutting away of boxing. 
A counter balance is attached to the ciank shaft, which 
gives it a steady and uniform motion. Each Machine can 
be thrown out of gear; there is great convenience in get¬ 
ting at each and every nut, all of them being on upper side 
of the frame; oil cups are attached to all the bearings, 
which, by the use of a wad of cotton, will hold oil for a 
long time, as well as protect the bearings from dust, grit, 
Ac.; the finger bar is lined with iron its whole width, which 
protects it from wear. 
These and various other additions for strength, durability, 
Ac.; makes them the most simple and perfect agricultural 
implement in use. They weigh about 750 lbs. each, and 
can easily be carried in a one-horse wagon. 
It requires not over ten minutes to get one ready for op¬ 
eration, there being but two bolts, (besides the poie bolts,) 
to be secured to have one ready for use. They will cut all 
kinds of grass, and operate well on uneven or rolling lands, 
or where there are dead furrows. This Machine took the 
highest award, with special approbation, at the World’s 
Fair; it also received, during last season, one silver and 
four gold medals, and various other flattering and substan¬ 
tial testimonials of approval. We have spared neither 
pains nor money to make this machine deserving of public 
favor, and hope’ to be able the coming season to supply the 
great and increasing demand. 
We take this occasion to caution farmers against buying 
untried Mowers; if they do (as was tlie case with many last 
year) they will incur loss, vexation and disappointment. 
If any parts are wanted to repair any machine we have 
sold, or may hereafter sell, they will Vie furnished and only 
manufacturers’ cost for the same be charged. 
jj'gp” In all cases where extras are wanted, be sure to give 
us the number of your Machine. 
(Warranty:) That said machines are capable of cutting 
and spreading, with one span of horses and driver, from ten 
to fifteen acres per day of any kind of grass, and do it as 
well as is done with a scythe by the best of mowers. 
The price of the Mower, with two sets of knives and ex¬ 
tras, is $110 cash, in Buffalo, delivered on board of boat or 
carefree of charge.
