The Better Land; or the Believer’s Journey and Fu¬ 
ture Home. By Her, Ami. C. THOMPSON. Boston: 
Gould & Lincoln. 
One %>y one break the ties which bind the 
heart of the ‘Christian to earth, but more com¬ 
pletely -than by any other trial are they severed 
when friends go before to the Better Land.— 
This, too, awakes in the soul a new interest in 
learning-all that can be known of their Future 
'Home, for every memory of the departed turns 
hope and thought thitherward. The volume 
before us is made up of a series of sermons on 
Heaven and heavenly-mindedness, and was 
publislred in answer to a request of the church 
of which the author was a pastor, on his leav¬ 
ing them for a visit to Europe. Sold by Vv m, 
N. Sage. 
Map of the Baltic.— There has "been laidon 
our (able by Messrs. Ide <fe Dutton, Boston, who 
are acquiring an'.excellent reputation for similar 
publications, a well executed map of the Seat 
of the ■Eastern War. The design includes the 
Baltic Sea and the States surrounding it, and 
the map seems to be in all respects convenient 
and reliable. 
The Ladies’ Repository for October contains, 
as usual, two steel engravings, and 4S pages ot

The Arabia arrived at New York Sept. 21. 
Sciiamyl lias surprised the Rushan army in 
Georgia near Gun, and destroyed 200 villages. 
The Dukeof Cambridge, Prince Napoleon, and 
tlie Rifle and other Regiments have left Con¬ 
stantinople for Varna. Lord Raglan would em¬ 
bark at Var.ua in the Paradox on the 2d and ilie 
expedition is to rendezvous at B&luchik. lhe 
troops are represented as briiufull of enthusi¬ 
asm. The French troops in the Baltic, it is re¬ 
ported, are to return immediately to France. 
Austria will still persevere in supporting the 
guarantees from Russia, and will await the re¬ 
sult of operations against tSe has. to pot.’ 
The Russians are making preparations to burn 
Odessa, P-idu Bakau, Gala:a and Ismail, should 
they he forced to abandon them. 
Russia rejects the proposition of the four 
Powers, retires behind the Pruth, and there 
awaits the crisis of events. The reply of the 
Czar was sent in duplicate to Austria and Prus¬ 
sia. Each of the points insisted upon by the 
Western Powers, is duly set forth, refused and 
reasons given therefor. Further the Czar says 
that he has withdrawn his troops from the Prin¬ 
cipal!.i-s in deference to the interests of the 
German Powers. Also that he will recall his 
forces across the Pruth, and there wait another 
hostile attack or pacific overtures, as may be. 
Paris, Sept. 6 .—The Debats says all the ac¬ 
counts which we have of late received from the 
Black Sea agree in declaring that the cholera, 
winch had made so violent an irruption in the 
ranks -of the army in the East,, had declined 
with a rapidity which could scarcely have been 
hoped for. 
Dantzic, 7th.—All the Romarsund forts have 
been destroyed and the boats embarked, 
Constantinople, 28th ult.—It is reported that 
a serious rebellion hail broken out in Pachaliks 
of Karien, Mentessche, and Aiden, and that the 
authorities «f those places were some of them 
murdered and some of them driven away. 
Advices from Athens to the 2d, state that the 
Commander of the French troops now in Greece 
insists upun removal to Athens, as 1,000 men 
Lhj/o died of cholera. The Ministry was en¬ 
deavoring to re-establish relations with Turkey 
and a further term had been fixed for the free 
navigation of Greek merchant vessels iu Tur¬ 
kish waters. 
England. —The Bullion in the Bank lias de¬ 
creased ill 67,000. 
The advance in Breadstuff's was caused by 
sleight arrivals. The harvest is mostly housed 
throughout France and Great Britain, and the 
yield is good and abundant. 
Spain.— Mr. Soule is charged by the French 
and Spanish paper with plotting against the 
tranquil ly of Spain. He is said to be identified 
in a cabal against Espartero, and to be connect- 
.e l with sundry recent attempts at, insurrection. 
The Times correspondent thinks the proof 
.against him so strong that be will not venture 
■back to Madrid, 
Maxwell's Circular says that, the weather lias 
heen very favorable for agricultural purposes, 
and the imports small. Flour has advanced Is

Singular Encounter. —The Springfield Re¬ 
publican says i hat seven of a flock o! sheep 
entered a jewelry store in that city on Thurs¬ 
day morning, led <>fl' by a stalwart buek. The 
latter was instantly attracted by the sight of 
another bristling buck in the large mirror attlie 
end of the store, and lowering his head and tak¬ 
ing a fair start, he plunpied into his supposed 
rival, Judge, perhaps, his own and the store¬ 
keeper’s astonishment at, the crash that ensued. 
One of the four panes of which the mirror was 
composed, though a third of an inch thick, was 
shivered to pieces under his well directed blow. 
The shop dog here interposed and drove off the 
animals before they could do more mischief.— 
The glass broken was three feet by four, and 
cost about $25. 
Arrival of the United States. 
N ew Orleans, Sept. 23. 
The following interesting news is gleaned 
from the San Francisco papers received lr-ere 
to-day by the steamer United States, and brings 
120 passengers and $20,000 in specie on freight. 
She left Aspimvall on the 18th. 
Great-fires have occurred throughout the State 
since the last-steamer—the losses by which sum 
up nearly $1;800,000. 
Business matters were generally in a depress¬ 
ed state, while the accounts from the mines 
were of the most flattering character. 
Agricultural pursuits were also flourishing. 
There was hardly a question but that the 
Whigs would sweep the Stale at the next elec¬ 
tion, as the Democratic party appeared to be 
hopelessly divided. 
The French Consul at San Francisco had 
given notice that all vessels of Marque would 
be treated as pirates and dealt with accord¬ 
ingly- 
w alter Sherwood, of San Francisco, had 
committed forgeries to the amount of $17,000. 
Great preparations are making for war upon 
the Russian settlements.

COMMERCIAL SUMMARY. 
San Francisco, Sept. 1.—The fortnight which 
lias just passed has been distinguished by no 
important features in the commercial affairs oi 
the city. I’he amount of goods taken for the 
fortnight lias not been as large as for the pre¬ 
ceding period of the same tune. Prices for sta¬ 
ple articles have undergone no change, with 
slight exceptions, either from importers or job¬ 
bers. 
I he monetary affairs of the city are favora¬ 
ble, and we hear no complaints of a scarcity of 
money. The mines Continue to make handsome 
returns. 
i’he general depression in business has affect¬ 
ed the puce ot real estate in the City, but with¬ 
in the last fortnight sales have been made at 
higher rates than could have been obtained a 
iew months ago. Improvements of all descrip¬ 
tions are rapidly being made m all parts of the 
city, many of which ar-e of the most permanent 
character. 
The dry goods market has not improved, and 
the receipts for the last fortnight have not been 
heavy, yet prices scarcely cover first cost loi 
any descriptions. 
Decisions Under the Post Office Laws.—A 
postage stamp, cut, from a stamped envelope, 
cannot boused for postage. 
A postmaster, under no circumstances, is al¬ 
lowed to open a letter not addressed to him. 
When letters are missent it is not lawful to 
charge postage for forwarding. 
All newspapers having words written on or 
in them are'subject to letter postage. 
To entitle papers to be sent to bona fide sub¬ 
scribers at hall a cent each, a lull quarter’s post¬ 
age is required in advance. 
It is improper for deputy postmasters to re¬ 
move the wrappers of public documents frank¬ 
ed by members of Congress. 
No paper or other thing, except, bills or re¬ 
ceipts <*t publishers, can l>e sent enclosed in a 
newspaper without subjecting the whole to let¬ 
ter postage. 
Buna tide subscribers to a weekly paper, 
whose .postoffice is in an adjoining countv, are 
allowed-to receive papers published in a countj 
in which they live, free of postage. 
Any mark of a pen on a circular, sucli as 
dates or anything of the kind, subject it to a 
letter postage. 
Asylum for Idiots.— The foundation of a new 
asylum tor idiots has just heen laid at Syracuse, 
N. \. The site is on a fine elevation, which 
overlooks the entire city, the Onondaga Lake, 
and the valley, which stretches away to the 
south, on either side of the Onondaga River. 
Seventeen acres of excellent land, embracing a 
good orchard and a neat, grove of forest trees, 
are secured to the institution. The whole has 
a south-easterly aspect. 'I'he foundation of the 
asylum building has been completed. The 
building lias a front of one hundred and fifty- 
live feet, and is seventy feet deep. It is to be 
four stories high, and will contain accommoda¬ 
tions for one hundred and fifty pupils, which 
wili be amply sufficient for some time to come. 
I'he material of which the building is to be 
constructed is red free stone, obtained at the 
quarries at Fulton, Oswego County. 
An Example of Industry.— The Baltimore 
Patriot says that Samuel Williams, a colored 
man, has one of the finest farms in Washington 
County, Maryland. The Hagerstown Herald 
says, that at the age of thirty-eight years lie 
was a slave in Stafford County, Virginia, but 
subsequently purchased Lis freedom from his 
own earnings, lie then bound himself to years 
of servitude until he could purchase his wife 
and children, which he accomplished when he 
was fifty years of age. He now owns a farm 
worth $1(1,ODD, and personal property amount¬ 
ing to several thousands more, all earned by his 
own labor, lie is now seventy-three years of 
age. 
The Man who did not know his Farm was 
Advertised. —i'he Ogdensburgh Sentinel tells 
a story of a subscriber who lately stopped his 
paper, because it contained too many advertise¬ 
ments, and shortly alter liiid his farm advertis¬ 
ed and sold lor non-payment-of taxes, before 
he knew it. He succeeded in redeeming las 
property, at a considerable cost, and then con¬ 
cluded lo renew his subscription to the Senti¬ 
nel, which was the only paper that had the 
news. 
The assessed valuation of Boston this year is 
$225,UU0 r UUU, a gain of nineteen millions over 
last year. The bare increase of valuation in 
that city since 1853 is nmre than the whole val¬ 
uation of Portland, Salem, New Bedford, or 
any New England city, except Providence, R. 
L it is half as much as New York with its 
750.U0U people, and far exceeds that of any other 
place in Llie Union. 
A young man was ejected from the Detroit 
Theatre by the manager, for hissing a danse use 
The manager was convicted of assault aim bin* 
tery and fined $30, the Court holding that an 
auditor has aright to hiss if displeased. 
At the present moment there are seven car¬ 
dinals’ hats at the disposal of the Pope.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
The United States, at New Orleans, hrong-ht in a “mail 
amount of specie, viz., $ 20 , 000 , and the two steamers now 
due at New York, from ibe Isthmus, will have on board a 
large supply. The amount of precious metals sent abroad 
during the week is $1,678,056, and the total for the year 
thus far is $29,206,755. Some four or five millions of late 
remittances, the Tribune says, have been on the payment 
of our Government to Mexico. 
The money market is comparatively easy, hut the stock 
market is feverish and excited, and the alternate rise and 
fall in some of the ftneies, particularly Erie, is unprece¬ 
dented in the history of Wall street.

Rochester, Sept. 28, 1854. j 
PntCKS have shifted considerably in the market for 
many leading articles during the week, hut the changes 
seem to tie erratic and not altogether uniform. Thus, 
Wheat, Corn, and Oats, have all declined, while Barley 
lias risen considerably, and presents features of much ac¬ 
tivity. The market for Wheat and Flour is quite unset¬ 
tled, with a decided downward tendency, however, and a 
feeling among shrewd men that it will go lower; the grain 
sells in the street at $1,75, and Flour to the trade at $9 00; 
Corn 78 cents; Outs 40, and Barley 85 to 90 cents. White 
Rye, for seed, is worth $2, and common brings $1,50. 
Hay is unchanged, but in large supply. Potatoes lower, 
selling at five to six shillings. 
Butter has declined in price, and now brings 16 to 18cts.

THE SCIENCE OF NATURE. 
A New School Book, entitled First Lessons in Chem¬ 
istry and Geology, as Applied to Agi icuiture. 
By J. EMERSON KEN T, A. M , M. D. 
A new scliooi book—the first American work ever issued 
as the first book, or “ First Lessons in Chemistry and Ge¬ 
ology, as applied to Agriculture,” uesigueo as the first step 
lor tue young, to be used in ail Our common schools, is 
now submitted to the educational public. Saute indeed 
protest against the introduction of all modern improve¬ 
ments in making the earth productive; still the greut ag¬ 
ricultural inteiestsot our nation depend upon a rising gen¬ 
eration of practical farmers, who will till the soil as much 
by a comprehensive knowledge of the laws of chemistry, 
as by the sweat of the brow. 
T he subject of agricultural chemistry cannot but soon 
commend itself to the world as the most impoitantol all 
studies, and, in fact, the wealth of this couut.y would be 
doubled within one year were all that saved which is now 
lost bv stupi i, bungling agneu lure. A volume of recom¬ 
mendations Could fie given to the public, bill it is nut 
necessary. 
School Committees and Teachers will be furnished with 
a copy, gratis, for examination, by mail, post paid, on ap¬

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. By the particu¬ 
lar arrangement of the teeth, the entire sunf.-ce 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 pa> 6 ing a 
stump, if required. It is fairly admitted that nice liarrow¬ 
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 S-ates, for the benefit of the public, or the harrow may 
be had on application to WM. ANDERSON,
