the Sciences,” to which Owen, Ansted, and 
Latham, are contributors. It is designed as a 
manual for the general reader, and is written in

The Captains ok tiik Roman RKPum.lc.ar compared with 
the Great Modern Strategists; their Campaigns, Charac¬ 
ter and Conduct, from the Punic Wars to the Death of 
Osa-. By Henry Wx. Hkrhkkt. New York: Chas. 
Scribner, i854. 
The character of this volume is sufficiently 
indicated by the above title-page, and the abil¬ 
ity of the author to give interest to such a sub¬ 
ject is well known in the literary world. Two 
years since- he gave to the public a book on 
<< The Captains of the Old World,”—this is on 
the same general plan, and contains sketches of 
Scifio Africanus, Flaminius, Pa-ullos, Caius 
Marius, Sylla, and Julius Caesar. Sold at

Hermit’s Dell. From the Diary ot a Penciller. New 
York: J. C. Derby, 8 Park Place. 
A volume of country sketches of a very pleas¬ 
ing character. There is little risk of our having 
too many books of this kind,—the public taste 
seems turning very decidedly to Rural life, and 
those who cannot otherwise partake in it enjoy 
reading about it. Briar Cliff and Hermit’s Dell 
are pleasant places, and life has it changes and 
episodes there as everywhere. Sold at Dewey’s. 
Thb Home in tub Valley. By Emilib F.Cari.en. Trans¬ 
lated from the Original Swedish, by Klbkut Pierce. 
New York: Chas. Scribner. 
This book is a story of Swedish country life 
very pleasantly told, and contains a moral for 
those who are not “ happy at home.” Few will 
own this to be the case, however, so those who 
are may read it, to see how pleasantly it ends, 
and how virtuous love ought ever to be rewarded.

Arrival of tlie Niagara. 
The Cuuard steamship Niagara, from Liver¬ 
pool, arrived at Halifax Sept. 12. 
The Baltic. —Sweden is said to have refused 
to accept the Aland Isles, on condition of join¬ 
ing the Allies against Russia. France and Eng¬ 
land have therefore decided to dismantle and 
abandon the fortification at Bomarsund. They 
were so badly damaged, and wanted so large a 
garrison to hold them against the enemy, that it 
was not considered expedient to retain them.— 
One hundred and twenty-two mounted, and 
eighty dismounted guns, taken at Bomarsund, 
will be divided between France and England. 
A small engagement, without loss of life, oc¬ 
curred at Abo, on the 18th ult., between eighteen 
Russian gun boats and some English steamers. 
South-eastern Europe.— From the Principal¬ 
ities and the Danube, it is reported that the 
Turks continue to occupy Bucharest, and are 
strengthening all strategic positions. 
The reports from Varna in relation to the 
proposed expedition to the Crimea are, as usual, 
inconsistent. It is said that Marshal St. Ar- 
naid will hold a general council at Varna, to 
inquire if the army is fit for service during the 
present sickness. 
The hospitals'and magazines of the Russians 
were being removed, to Bessarabia. 
Transports continued to arrive at Varna from 
Malta. The French were beginning to grumble 
at their continued inactivity. 
The cholera was abating. Its ravages, both 
in the fleet and army, were horrible, many 
thousand having fallen victims. 
All was quiet at Constantinople. Said Pasha, 
the new Viceroy of Egypt, was visiting the 
Sultan. Deverest. Pasha, a skillful diplomatist, 
has been sent to the Principalities as Turkish 
Commissioner. Riza Pasha was intriguing to 
have Omar Pasha transferred to the command 
of the army in Asia, but the Sultan refused. 
Asia.— The reported disasters of the Turks 
are confirmed. On the 29th of July, Selim Pa¬ 
sha was defeated, and the Russians occupied 
Bajazid. On the 7th of August, a vaporating 
display of force by the Turks brought on a 
general engagement, and a great battle was 
fought near Kars. The Turks attacked the 
Russians’ entrenched camp at Y'ouronkdere.and 
also drove in the right wing of the Russian 
army, but a general charge by the Russian cav¬ 
alry swept them back with immense loss. Four 
thousand Turks were killed. The Russians 
suffered severely. The Turks confess that the 
Russians had the victory. An armistice of two 
days was agreed to after the battle. The Turks 
retreated into Kars and abandoned their camp, 
which was occupied by the Russians. The 
Russians admit a loss of nearly 1000. The bat¬ 
tle lasted five hours, 40,000 men and 150 guns 
being engaged in it. Selim Pasha issuuerseded 
by Mustaplm Pasha, who distinguished himself 
in the Dobrudscha. 
Greece.— Considerable excitement has been 
caused by the announcement of the French 
commander that as the Piraeus is unhealthy he 
will remove his troops to Athens. 
The delay which was granted by the Porte 
to Greece lor the adjustment of her difficulties 
with Turkey, expired on the first of September. 
No arrangements had been made, but negotia¬ 
tions were pending. 
Great Britain.— The w-eather continued ex¬ 
tremely favorable, and a large proportion of the 
crop had been secured. 
France.— The Emperor has left Paris for the . 
camp at Boulogne. The Empress remained at 
the Baths. 
The Moniteur publishes the official account of 
the fall of Bomarsund. 
A report was circulated on the Paris Bourse 
that Sweden and Denmark was on the point of 
signing a treaty of alliance with the Western 
Powers, hut the report was considered doubtful. 
Spain.— Madrid was profoundly tranquil, but 
other parts of the country are still disturbed. 
Arrival of the Atlantic. 
New York, Sept. 10. 
The Atlantic arrived tins morning with Liv¬ 
erpool dates to the (5th. 
At Tuesday’s market there was a fair at¬ 
tendance, but wheat declined 3d@4d from Fri¬ 
day, and closed at 80@8l fid for white, and G1 
10<i@71 3d for red. 
Flour was in retail demand, Ohio 28@29s.

Corn dull, and market declining. 
Cotton shows no change since Friday. Sales 
for four days 27,000 bales.

Trade at Manchester satisfactory. 
One Hundred and Fifty Dollars for Set¬ 
ting a Gander’s Leg.— Dr. S. came to settle at 
Bloomfield, half a mile north of what is now 
Piety Hill, or Birmingham, in 1820, and com¬ 
menced farming and the practice of medicine. 
A year or two afterwards a neighbor, as he was 
then called, a man who lived about eight miles 
off, with whom the doctor was at variance, call¬ 
ed him about the middle of a bitter winter 
night, to go to his house and mend a broken leg. 
The doctor was never backward in obeying a 
professional call, and was underway in short 
order. Arriving at the place, he found the pa¬ 
tient to be an old gander, who, sure enough, 
; had a broken leg; so he set out to work, made 
splints and bandages, put the leg in place, and 
went home, leaving Mr. Gander as comfortable 
as could be expected. In due time the owner 
of the gander was presented with a bill of .$10, 
tor surgical services, which he refused to pay. 
Dr. S. sued him before a justice, and recovered 
Ihe amount with co>t. The gander appealed, 
or his owner did for him; the judgment was 
; affirmed with new costs. The gander took an¬ 
other and last appeal to the Supreme Court, 
where the judgment below was affirmed, with 
new cost, from which court an execution issued 
for $10 damages, and $150 costs of suit, which 
was levied on the farm and finally paid, leaving 
the world in doubt which was the greatest 
goose of the two .—Dayton ( Ohio) Empire. 
A Profitable Speculation. —A Sunday pa¬ 
per says;—We heard of a dodge to raise the 
wind the other day, that does credit to the 
shaipers whose wits“got it up. There are three 
gentlemen engaged in this new enterprise, and 
we aie told that they have collected some thous¬ 
ands of dollars during the past few weeks.— 
Their plan of operation is: Two of them, dressed 
as laborers, visit a grocery store, buy a pound 
of some cheap article, take it off and weigh it 
with a standard scales which they carry with 
them. It it falls short of the full and correct 
weight (which it does in nine cases out of ten,) 
they kick up a grand breeze with the grocer, 
threaten prosecution, and finally, through the 
intervention of a gentleman (the other partner,) 
who steps in just at the nick of time, the trouble 
is compromised by the payment of an X or a 
V, by the grocer, to settle the matter. In one 
instance, $30 was paid to hush up one of these 
cases; the article bought was sugar, and the 
pound only weighed thirteen ounces!”—A'. ¥. 
Tribune. 
Stampede. —Information has been received at 
St. Louis, from the Plains, of the loss of a large 
number of horses designed for the service of the 
United States in New Mexico. These horses 
were purchased last spring, and left Fort Leav¬ 
enworth in the command of Col. Fountleroy.— 
At the last advices Col. F. was in camp on the 
Arkansas river, three miles above Fort Atkinson. 
About that time, it seems, there was a stampede 
of all the horses, to the number of more than 
four hundred, of which one hundred and forty 
are still missing, though great exertions had 
been made to recover the whole of them. The 
aid of Indians was obtained in the capture, but 
when the horses were caught they were jaded 
and worn down, and many of them of very lit¬ 
tle value. Col. F. had moved on, leaving a force 
to secure the remaining animals. 
A Little Heroine.— Last week Friday, du¬ 
ring a fire at Brookville, Jefferson county, Pa., 
a Mrs. Brady, who resided in the burning 
dwelling, was absent at the time gathering 
plums, having left her babe in charge of a small 
boy. When it was known that the baby was 
still in the house, a little girl 12 or I f years of 
age, named Amelia Farely, rushed through the 
smoke and flame, up the stairs, and succeeded 
in saving the child, and took care of the little 
innocent till its mother’s return.

Rochester, Sept. 21, 1854. j 
The tendency of the Wheat and Flour market is down¬ 
ward, although the activity of the Mills causes all the grain 
offered to be taken at the highest rates the market will 
warrant. Wheat is selling to-day at $1,97, and has been 
down at one time since last quotations, to $1,94. Flour 
has declined a quarter of a dollar per barrel during the 
week. The arrival of the Atlantic, just announced as we 
go to press, brings news of another decline in Breads tuffs 
abroad, equal to 6 or 8 cents per bushel, the effect of which 
will probably be to depress prices here. Oats and Corn 
unchanged. Barley is in demand at 80 to 83 cents for 
prime. Clover seed is higher, with but very little or none 
in market. It retails at $8. Timothy is now at $3@3,50> 
while Rye brings $1,37)4, and retails for seed at $2. White 
Beans are higher—readily selling at from $1,00 to SI,25. 
There are no essential changes in other respects, in our 
wholesale markets. 
In the financial world there is nothing of special inter¬ 
est. Government stocks continue to come in for redemp¬ 
tion, and the speculations in Railroad stocks is quite ac¬ 
tive. Erie, which went up twenty dollars a share from its 
extreme depression, has again partially subsided, and now 
sells at 42. N. Y. Central brings 91X. 
The Empire City, from Aspinwall, which arrived last 
week too late for announcement in our financial article, 
although noticed in our editorial columns, brought in 
$1,100,000, and the Europa and Baltic have taken out 
$1,796,000, so the balance of shipment is against us over 
half a million.

worthy citizen. During a residence of twelve years, the 
deceased has well sustained the various relations of social 
and civil life. Frequently had he received, and as often 
exercised satisfactorily, the civil trusts of his fellow citi¬

ANDERSON'S DOUBLE-TRIANGULAR HARROW, 
Patented August 1st, 1854, is universally acknowledged 
by agriculturists who have seen it in operation, to be the 
best Harrow for all purposes now in use. Bv the particu¬ 
lar arrangement of the teeth, the entire surface is thor¬ 
oughly pulverized. Its peculiar form also renders it very 
effective in new, uneven, or stumpy ground; one half be¬ 
ing made to turn completely over the other in passing a 
stump, if required. It is fairly admitted that once harrow¬ 
ing with this harrow, does more execution than twice by 
those in common use. The Patentee, being a practical 
farmer, is willing to dispose of rights in Towns, Counties, 
or States, for the benefit of the public, or the han-ow may 
be had on application to WM. ANDERSON,

UNDERDRAINING TILE ( 
The Rochester Brick and Tile Manufacturing Co., ( 
have on hand a large supply, and are constantly manufac¬ 
turing Tile of the different varieties and sizes used for un¬ 
derdraining farm lands. The extent of the failure of the 
wheat crop the present season has, more conclusively than 
it has been for many years before, shown the utility of 
Tile Draining—for in no instance, and it is safe to say on 
no premises where lands were properly underdrained, has 
wheat been known to be injured by winter-kill,—which 
every one knows is caused by the freezing and thawing of 
water standing upon the wheat. 
The following is a list of the prices for the different 
varieties and sizes of Underdraining Tile delivered at our 
premises in Brighton, one and a half miles east of the city 
of Rochester. The Company will deliver Tile on canal 
boats at fifty cents advance per thousand, on their yard 
prices, and on vessels running on Lake Ontario at reason¬ 
able charges, for transportation. Prices as follows : 
1 inch Pipe Tile.$7 00 per thousand.

THE HORSE, THE HORSE! 
Noblest of Domestic Animals, 
And- the one most frequently ill-treated, neglected, and 
abused. We have just published a book so valuable to 
every man who owns a Horse, that no one should willing¬ 
ly be without it. It is entitled 
THE MODERN HORSE DOCTOR, 
And is from the pen of that celebrated English Veterinary 
Surgeon, Dr. GEO. H. DADD, well known for many vears 
in this country, as one of the most successful, scientific 
and popular writers and lecturers in,this branch of medi¬ 
cal and surgical science. The book which he now offers to 
the public, is the result of many years’ study and practiced 
experience which few have had. 
From the numerous and strong commendations, of dis¬ 
tinguished men and the newspaper press, we select the 
following: 
Extract from a letter from Hon. John H. Clifford, Ex- 
Governor of Mass. 
New Bedford, May 11, 1854. 
Dr. Dadd, —Dear Sir: — I hope your new work on the 
noblest creature that man has ever been permitted to hold 
in subjection, the horse, will meet with that success which 
all your efforts iu this direction so well deserve. 
Your obedient sen-ant, 
John H. Clifford. 
From Hon. Marshall P. Wilder. 
Boston, May 13, 1854. 
Dr. Dadd, — My Dear Sir: —I am greatly obliged to you 
for the valuable treatise, the results of your own investi¬ 
gations, which you have recently issued, hoping that it 
may meet with the patronage of a discriminating commu¬ 
nity. 
I remain yours with great regard, 
Marshall P. Wilder. 
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 owns a horse.— Boston Congregationalist. 
Dr. Dadd has had great experience in the cure of sick 
horses, and explains the secret of his success in this vol. 
—iV. 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-book for practical use, we 
know of nothing to compare with it.— Yankee Made. 
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 verv valua¬ 
ble work by Dr. Dadd, a well known veterinary surgeon 
on the causes, nature aud treatment of diseases,"and 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 lace, the horse, should be without it. Especially 
should it be in the hands of every hotel and livery-stable 
keeper. To many a man would it be 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 jrractical 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 hackmen, 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 in this book than any of 
the kind we have ever seen, and farmers and owners of 
horses would find it a matter of economy to possess them¬ 
selves of it. It will be of more service than the counsel of 
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,” everpublished.— 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 e 
may be his own veterinary surgeon, and with much great-' - ' 
er safety to this noble animal than by trusting him to the 
treatment of the empirical iutinerants 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 drive horses, whether for the 
dray or gig, for the plow, omnibus or road, for hard service 
or pleasure.— McMakin'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 puree 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- 
i ject, and the remedies which they severally require.— TVou 
Daily Budget. 
It is a valuable book to those who have the care of Hor¬ 
ses.— Hartford Herald. 
He is not worthy to have a horse in his care, who will 
not use such a work to qualify himself for his duties to 
this animal.— Commonwealth , Boston.
