MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Fifty Ykaiis in Both Hemispheres, or Reminiscences <>f 
the life of a former Merchant. By Vincent Nolte, late 
of New Orleans. Translated from the German. 
The above is the title of an interesting work 
just issued from the publishing house of Rf.d- 
fiei.d, N. Y. It is a very entertaining narrative 
of personal observations and experiences of a 
man engaged extensively in mercantile and 
money transactions through a period of more 
than half a century, and brought thereby into 
contact with the leading men of both Europe 
and America. Crowned heads and republican 
leaders have to submit to his criticisms, and he 
speaks unreservedly upon all matters of which 
he treats. * 
The old motto, “dc mortuis nil nisi bcnc,” 
(speak well, or keep silence concerning the 
dead,) he says, under the sanction of which so 
much falsehood has been served up to a credu¬ 
lous posterity, has been regarded by him only 
in those cases where unblemished reputations 
have made praise a duty. His motto is, to say 
nothing concerning the dead unless the truth ; 
and consequently he gives play to much humor¬ 
ous and quiet sarcasm at the expense of men 
■who occupied high places during the period of 
which he treats. 
The book is highly entertaining, and meets 
an extensive sale. Dewey has it, in the Arcade. 
Denmark has given her complete adherence 
to the Austro-Prussian treaty. 
Egypt.—A lexandria, July 26.—Said Pasha 
has granted an amnesty. He has abolished the 
corn monopoly, which Las hitherto belonged to 
government, has re-established free trade, and 
modified various taxes. The popular enthusi¬ 
asm was very great, 
St. Pktersbkiigu, July 1.—The Czar,support¬ 
ed by the Grand Duke Constantine, will resist 
to the Inst, and since the fleets have left Cron- 
stadt, he is more determined than ever. Count 
Nesselrode and the Grand Duke Kenpfinz, try 
all they can to prevail on the Emperor to alter 
his policy. Their efforts are in vain, although 
their partizans increase daily in numbers. The 
old Russian party has yet a preponderance.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
Tiiere has been no arrival from California since our 
last, and consequently no influx of the precious metals, 
although a large amount has gone abroad. The Boston 
steamer, on the 16th, took out $240,000; the Atlantic, on 
ttie 19th, $023,832, and the Arctic, at a later date, about a 
million more. The money market is not specially strin¬ 
gent, except for stock speculators, and men and corpora¬ 
tions of doubtful credit, and they are having a hard time. 
Stocks are dull and still low on the list. Erie is espe¬ 
cially depressed, closing at the board on Saturday at 40. 
He “ Still Lives.”—A correspondent of the 
N. Y. Courier and Enquirer says that the Eng¬ 
lish government is now beginning to suffer the 
consequences of its insulting conduct to Metter- 
nich a few years ago. When, in 1818, that, aged 
statesman was constrained by the course of po¬ 
litical events to seek a temporary refuge in 
England, Palmerston deemed him a safe subject 
for outrage. The ex-Minister, bent down by 
years and affliction, having, in reply to some 
taunt of the foreign Secretary’s, declared that

The second number of this magnificent and 
valuable work contains four maps — 1st, of Up¬ 
per Canada, with tlie adjoining States, and sec¬ 
tions showing the vicinities of the Welland 
Canal, Niagara Falls and Navy Island enlarged; 
2d, Connecticut; 3d, Alabama ; 4th, Kentucky 
and Tennessee. These are now given as they 
are completed, and not according to their proper 
place in the volume. Each map has a full page 
of descriptions, in which are given the agricul¬ 
tural products, manufactures, internal improve¬ 
ments, and the traffic upon the channels of trade, 
banks, commerce, education, principal cities, 
towns and poinLs of interest-, and an epitome of 
history. 
the British aristocracy had a reckoning yet to 
settle with the people, and that the day was not 
far distant,” Palmerston ordered him within 
twenty-four hours to quit the kingdom. To his 
astonishment, Palmerston has since seen him 
rise with a stateliness and dignity of which his 
seemingly stricken body and broken spirit,, pre¬ 
viously afforded no anticipation ; and to the dis¬ 
may of the English Whigs, Metlernich has ever 
since proved their irreconcilable foe. He hur¬ 
ried to Vienna, panting with his fury and ven¬ 
geance. The reaction produced eu his body, 
restored the slumbering resources of his mind, 
and he has ever since been found counsellor, as 
well as secret spring of the Austrian Empire

Arrival of the Union and America. 
The steamer Union, from Havre, arrived at 
New York Aug. 16th, and the Liverpool steam¬ 
er America reached Halifax on the 17th, with 
three days later news than by the former from 
Europe. 
The principal items of interest were an ad¬ 
vance in breadstuff's, and rumored important 
movements of the allies, both in the Baltic and 
the Black seas. The subsequent arrival of the 
Collins steamer Baltic, reports another slight 
advance in the markets, causes the Black Sea 
movements to assume a more definite shape, but 
throws no new light upon the affairs in the 
North.

The prospect of short fall crops, in consequence of the 
absence of rain, has enhanced the price of several pro¬ 
ducts materially within a week. Wheat brings $2 readily; 
but very little activity prevails. The remarkable lowness 
of water in the river, vetoing the running of our mills, 
keepH millers out of the market; and the little wheat 
changing hands is either for the supply of steam mills or 
tor shipment east in bulk. Corn is worth to-day, 72 cents. 
Butter is scarce and high, grocers paying eighteen pence 
for prime. 
Hay also brings better prices, ranging from $10 to $15 
per ton. Wool markets dull and prices unchanged.

REMARKABLE INVENTION. 
BUTTER MADE EASY.—Tillinghasts’s Patent Churn 
took the HIGHEST PRIZE, at the late great trial of 
Churns, at the Crystal Palace, N. Y. Nearly all the other 
Patent Churns in the country were tested, but Tilingliast’s 
came out triumphant, making more butter in a shorter 
Lime, and of a better quality, than any other. Beyond ail 
doubt it is the best churn ever made. It is handy and 
simple in construction. No family should be without it, 
for it abridges the time and labor of butter-making in a 
remarkable degree. Town, County and State rights for 
sale. To enterprising men here is a grand chance. Coun¬ 
ty rights will be sold from $50 to $100, from which $1,000 
u, $10,000 can be easily realized. Price of single churns, 
$6, sent by express to any part of the country, on receipt 
of the money. Address, ALFRED E. BEACH,

ADVERTISEMENT. 
Having set my face Kansas-ward, I now offer my Farm 
and Mill Property—a great bargain. The Grist Mill is new 
(been running but two years), well and substantially con¬ 
structed, on a good stream, and in a good grain country, 
the toll yielding a good liviDg for a family. The Farm is 
attached to the Mill, containing about 100 acres (25 clear¬ 
ed and in fence,) a small Dwelling House, Barn, and other 
out-buildings. The property is well located, on the State 
Road, running from Stroudsburg up Broadheads Creek.— 
There is a Peach Orchard in full bearing, grafted Apple 
Trees, and a great variety of small Fruit. The Post Office 
is within three minutes’ walk of the Mill. As I must ef¬ 
fect a sale during September, I have determieed to put it 
at the extremely low price of $2,000, or $1,800 cash. Ti¬

N. Y. STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
14th Annual Cattle Show and Exhibition of the 
New York State Agricultural Society, 
Held in connection with the American Institute and New 
York Horticultural Society, at Hamilton Square, in the 
city of New York, October '.id, 4th, bth, and bill, 1854. 
The Annual Exhibition of the Society will be held as 
above, in the city of New York, from Oct. 3d to 6th, on 
which occasion, upwards of Right Thousand Hollars are 
offered as premiums, to be competed for, with Cattle, 
Horses, Sheep, Swine, Poultry, Dairy Products, Farm Im¬ 
plements and Machinery, Domestic and other Manufac¬ 
tures, Flowers, Fruits, and articles in all the Mechanical 
Departments—the full particulars of which will be found 
in the List of Premiums published. A large portion of 
the Premiums are open to competition by persons out of 
the State. 
It is believed that this combined exhibition will be the 
most extensive ever held in this country, and will afford to 
exhibitors advantages never before offered, in every de¬ 
partment of the Exhibition, combining the entire industrial 
interests of the Farmer, Manufacturers, Mechanics, Horti¬ 
culturists, and Artizans of our country. 
Persons desirous of examining the List of Premiums and 
Regulations, or of entering stock, implements or other 
articles for exhibition, will please apply to B. P. Johnson, 
Sec’v, State Agricultural Rooms, Albany; at the Rooms 
of the American Institute, 351 Broadway ; or Janes, Bee¬ 
be & Co., 356 Broadway, New York, where the Premium 
List and Regulations will be furnished, and every desired 
information in relation to the Exhibition given. 
Stalls and fodder for stock, and erections for the other 
articles, will be furnished in season, so that all articles de¬ 
signed for exhibition can be taken to the show grounds on 
their arrival in the city, where they will be provided for 
and protected. 
The following Railroads have agreed to transport all 
stock and articles for the exhibition, free — requiring the 
freight to be advanced on delivery and re-paid on return of 
the articles, with evidence of being exhibited, &c.t Hudson 
River, New York & Erie, New York City h Buffalo.[Ithaca 
and Owego, Canandaigua and Elmira, New York Central, 
Rome and Watertown, New York & Harlem, Long Island, 
Troy & Boston: and it is presumed all the Railroads lead¬ 
ing into New York will afford the like facility.

The Modern Horse Doctor, by G. H. Dadd, is a manual 
of genuine science, and ought to be owned and studied on 
the score of humanity, as well as interest, by every man 
who o.vns a horse.— Boston Congregationalist. 
Dr. Dadd has had great experience in the cure of sick 
horses, and explains the secret of his success iu this vol. 
N. Y. Tribune. 
The author of this work is well known as a most skillful 
veterinary surgeon. His book is based on the soundest 
common sense, and as a hand-liook for practical use, we 
know of nothing to compare with it.— Yankee Blade. 
We know Dr. Dadd well, and are satisfied that he pos¬ 
sesses most Important qualifications for preparing such a 
book as this — N. E. Farmer. 
Messrs. Jewett & Co. have just published a very valua¬ 
ble work by Dr. Dadd, a well knowfi veterinary surgeon, 
on the causes, nature and treatment of diseases, aud lame¬ 
ness in horses.— Farmer's Cabinet, 
This is one of the most valuable treatises on the subject^ 
ever published; and no owner of that noblest of the ani¬ 
mal race, the horse, should be without it. Especially 
hould it be in the hands of every hotel and livery-stable 
keeper. To many a man would it bo worth hundreds of 
dollars every year .— Ind. Democrat, Concord. 
By far the most learned and copious work on the horse 
and his diseases we have ever seen.— N. Y. Evangelist. 
One of the greatest and most commendable qualities of 
this work, is, it is practical and plain to the comprehen¬ 
sion of those farmers and others for whom it is designed. 
The course of treatment favors generally a more sanative 
and rational system of medication than that recommended 
in any previously existing works on farriery. No farmer 
or owner of a horse should be without this book. Stable 
keepers, stage proprietors and hackinen, we believe would 
derive profit by having at least one copy hung up in their 
stables for use and reference by their stable men —Daily 
News, Philadelphia. 
There is more common sense iu this book than any of 
the kind we have ever seen, and farmers and owners of 
hoi see would find it a matter of economy to possess them¬ 
selves of it. It will be of more service than the counsel ol 
a score of ordinary doctors.— Albany Courier. 
We deem this decidedly the best and most reliable work 
on the “Cause, Nature, and Treatment of Disease and 
Lameness in Horses,” ever published. Nantucket Enquirer. 
What we have read of this book induces us to regard it 
as a very sensible and valuable work; and we learn that 
those much more competent to judge of its value, have 
given it their unqualified approval.— Ev. Trav. Boston. 
This book supplies a great desideratum which Skinner’s 
admirable treatise on the Horse did not fill. Every man 
may be his own veterinary surgeon, and with much great¬ 
er safety to this uoble animal than by trusting him to the 
treatment of the empirical intinerants who infest the 
country. It is well illustrated, and should be purchased 
by every man who owns a horse.— Ev. Mirror , New York 
This is a book that should be forthwith put into the 
hands of all who own or drivo horses, whether for the 
drav or gig, for the plow, omnibus or road for hard service 
or pleasure.— McMukin s Courier, Philadelphia. 
A good clearly written book, which should be in the 
hands of every man who has a horse whose ills his affec¬ 
tion or his purse make it worth while to cure.— Bangor 
Mercury. 
•This is a scientific, thorough and complete treatise upon 
the diseases to which one of the noblest of animals is sub¬ 
ject. and the remedies which they severally require.— Troy

It is a valuable book to thoso who have the care of Hor¬ 
ses.— Hartford Herald.

DRILLING IN WHEAT. 
Moore’s Seed Planter, or Grain Drill. 
Patented July 2, 1850.—This valuable implement of 
husbandry, which has been thoroughly tested iu many 
places, is used for planting Wheat, Rye, Corn, Oats, 
Barley, Beans, &c. It operates equally well on all kinds 
of land, and is not injured by coming in contact with 
rocks, roots, &c.; and it is believed, is superior to auv other 
implement of the kind in use, as may be seen by the testi¬ 
monials of many of the best farmers in the State. There 
are several advantages iu drilling over broad-cast sowing, 
among which are these :—It is most expeditious; it saves 
labor, which is money; it completes the process of seeding 
wherever it moves; and experience has proved that more 
grain is obtained, of a heavier berry, and with less seed, 
owing to its oeing covered at any required depth, where 
every kernel has moisture and a chance to germinate. 
Drilling Wheat. —Edward Stabler, in his admirable es¬ 
say on the advantage of drill seeding, states that after ex¬ 
amining its results on some 800 or 1,000 acres, besides large 
experience on his own land, he finds there is not a single 
instance where it has not proved the most profitable.— 
First, in the saving of seed, and secondly in the increased 
product of the grain, amounting to from one to seven 
bushels to the acre. He had known the increase, in one 
case, by careful comparison of tlie two modes, to amount 
to nine bushels per acre in favor of drilling. He relates an 
interesting incident:—A vender offered a drill for the in¬ 
crease in a crop of 50 acres of wheat, to be determined by 
sowing a few strips broad-cast for comparison ; but before 
the harvest, the farmer preferred paying the hundred dol¬ 
lars for the price of a drill, with interest. On carefully 
ascertaining the increase, he found it to be one hundred 
aud fifty-three bushels.— Albany Cultivator. 
Extract from tlie N. Y. Tribune, Feb. 3,1853, article on In¬ 
dustrial Exhibitions at the World’s Fair, London : 
“Those who understand the subject, know that at least 
one-third of the seed may be saved, aud a tenth .added to 
the crop by drilling, as contrasted with the old, slovenly 
process of sowing by baud. The annual saving by the 
general adoption of drilling in this country, would be equal 
iu value to all the gold we receive from California.” 
Tlie highest premiums have been awarded to this Drill at 
the Agricultural Fairs in Delaware, at Philadelphia, Balti¬ 
more, Detroit, in Maryland, and at various County Fairs in 
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, aud other States.

faction. Its simplicity, and certainty of distribution, to¬ 
gether with its cheapness, commend it in preference to any 
Drill with which we are acquainted. Samuel Lewis, Esq.,

Extract of a letter from Mr. McCrooa, near Newcastle, 
Delaware :—“Your Drill stands unrivalled, as is admitted 
by all Farmers in the neighborhood, that have seeii it in 
operation.” 
“ This is to certify, that we, the undersigned, have used 
Lewis Moore's Improved Grain Drill, and we believe that 
for simplicity, durability, chea| ness, ease, speed and regu¬ 
larity of sowing, it surpasses anything of the kind hereto¬ 
fore in use among us, and wo do recommend it to farmers 
as being a machine the best adapted to their wants.”—
