Dames American Drain Tile Maker Has been awarded fifteen First Premiums, at State and County Fairs.

The TILE MACHINE, invented and natented hv Mr. JftRW DAINES, of Birmingham, Oakland County, Michigan, is now being manufactured in the moat thorough manner, and is offered to the farming community as the cheapest, moet labor- saving, and most complete Invention, and enabling farmers to mane tneir own lies, ttiat nas yet been put before the agriculturists of the United States. These Machines are made of iron, are easily worked, any man being able to manufacture a first-rate article after a few hours' iractice. They cost delivered in Detroit, only $110. They have two dies for three and four inch tile and ex ra dies to accompany the Machine cost $3 each.

These Machines will manufacture per day, according to the force employed, from 160 to 250 rods of horseshoe or pipe tile. The Machine weighs but 5u0 pounds, and can be packed and sent to any part of the I'nited States or to foreign Countries as easily as a piano. With this Machine any farmer who has a fair quality oflay on his farm, can manufacture his own tiles at a cheap rate, and easily save the price of the machine by avoiding the cost of transportation. The machine when in operation, takes up no more room than an ordinary sized kitchen table it may be worked by two or three men, as may be found most convenient and eco nomical, or a man and two boys can keep it full operation. For Simplicity, Durability, Economy, Cheapness, and amount of work, this Tile Maker challenges the world At the present time when thorough draining has become a necessity on alluvial lands, it offers the simplest and cheapest means of furnising farmers with a draining material far superior to any other material now used fur that purpose.

Lieutenant Maury, in an article communicated to the Rural New- Yorker, maintains that the growing of sunflowers around a dwelling located near a fever and ague region, neutralizes the miasma in which that disease originates. He was led to experiment on the subject in consequence of the dwelling of the Superintendent of the Observatory at Washington having been rendered unhabitable five months in the year by the miasma from the marshes which nearly surround it. The rank grass and weeds which cover these marshes begin to decay early in August, and by them the miasma is evolved. Mr. Maury's theory was that the poisonous matter which was evolved must have been elab- orated during the growth of the weeds, and set free in their decay.

On this supposition, by planting other vegetable matter between the house and the marshes, and bringing it into vigorous growth about the time that of the marshes began to decay, the poisonous matter might be absorbed and again elab orated into vegetable tissue, and so purify the air. He accordingly tried the experiment with complete success. An acre of sunflowers will absorb during their growth many thousand gallons of water more than are supplied by the rains. They are of easy cultivation, and the seeds, which are very valuable, find a ready market at the drug stores. Mr.

Maury suggests that water lilies planted in marshes would produce the same effect as sunflowers. Fires. Fires have been reported as follows dur ing the week The machine shops of the Baltimore Ohio Railroad, at Wheeling, were burnt on Monday week, together with several locomotives, all the machinery, and the out-houses. Loss $150,000. A work shop in the Maryland Penitentiary was burnt Thursday night, together with a quantity of machinery.

Loss 20,000. Ao prisoners escaped, although it was evidently planned by some of them with that view. Douderore's soap and candle works in Market Street, Philadelphia, were burned Tuesday morning. Loss $50,000 insured $30,000. On Saturday, some children playing with matches, set fire to a stable in the lumber yard of Duryea Brothers, in Brooklyn, X.

and the fire spreading, caused damage to the amount of 20,000. In Dunbarton, X. on Sunday, the house of Mrs. Wheeler, widow of the late Robert Wheeler, was destroyed by fire. Loss $2200, insured for $500.

By the fire at Alton, Illinois, on the 17th, over $40,000 worth of property was destroyed in one hour. The Methodist church was burned, and the furniture of Mr. Earp, the minister, much damaged. The heaviest losers were Messrs. Morrison Beale, whose mill was destroyed loss, $15,000.

A block of stores at Oxford, was burnt a few days ago. Messrs. Hendon, Mitchell and Lynch were the heaviest losers. Loss $30,000. P.

Carter's livery stable, Montgomery, was burnt last week, together with 30 horses, mostly belonging to Carter's circus. Loss 30,000. The tannery of Walter Adriance at Manchester, N. was burned on Tuesday afternoon, with much of the stock. Insurance on the stock $4000, in the Company.

The Mansfield (Pa.) Classical Seminary was destroyed by fire on the 22d inst. A portion of the furniture was saved in a damaged state. The building was valued at $25,000, and insured for 1 2,000. The furniture, worth about $5000, was uninsured. The Murrain.

The distemper which has appeared among the cattle of the North of Europe has excited great apprehension among the English people, who have hitherto derived a very large portion of their beef cattle from that region. The exact nature of the murrain has not been ascertained, but all accounts agree that it is of a most malignant type. As has already been announced, the British government, in order to avert the disastrous consequences that would ensue should the epidemic be introduced into the United Kingdom, have issued an order prohibiting the importation of cattle, horns, hoofs or hides from those parts of Russia, Prussia, or Mecklenburg-Schwerin, bordering on the Baltic Sea, between the Gulf of Finland and the free city of Lubec. The Royal Agricultural Societies of England and of Ireland have dispatched an eminent professor to Prussia, in order to ascertain the nature and extent of the disease. Meanwhile the alarm is such that the graziers, especially the Irish, are sending their stocks to market to get them off their hands without delay, and prices have considerably fallen.

The presence of murrain would be a severe blow to Ireland, whose wealth consists largely of live stock. The Weather and Crops. We glean a few items under this head, from various sources The Livingston, N. Republican learns on inquiry of intelligent farmers from most parts of the country, that wheat on the ground looks far better than was feared it would from the unfavorableness of the weather last fall and during the winter. There is, however, a less number of acres to wheat than has before been seen in some years.

The Charleston (S. Mercury says the recent cold weather, frost and ice, has seriously injured the early planted rice in that State. The citizens of Montgomery, Alabama, on Saturday last had new potatoes and cucumbers, grown in the open air. They had green peas some days earlier. The Abingdon (Va.) Democrat says that during the week preceding Tuesday, the 21st, snow fell daily in Washington count).

Vegetation is backward through the southwest part of the State, and many cattle are dying. At Tolland, during the recent storm, snow fell to the depth of three feet, blocking up the roads, in ph ces for 80 or 100 rods, with drifts seven or eight feet in depth. Letters from Texas state that the recent cold weather had done much injury to the crops in the various parts of the State. Orders were received by a commission house in Savannah on the 22d, from Columbus, for ten thousand bushels cottonseed. The order was sent in behalf of planters in that section of the State, and Alabama, whose first plantings have been destroyed by the frost.

The N. O. Creole says that since 1849, there has not been observed in the South, at so late a day in April, such a frost as it seems has been felt in all the Southern States, not even excepting points bordering on the Gulf of Mexico. Complaints continue to be made from all quarters respecting the dam age done by the frost. Cotton and corn have suffered most.

Wheat escaped and is generally very promising. So far as practicable, the damage will be repaired by replanting hut no doubt large losses iiave been experienced. The apprehension wh ich was felt at the North respecting the condition of the fruit buds has been dissipated. At Mt, Holley, in Ludlow, on Monday, a severe snow storm was experienced, the ground being covered with snow to the depth of nearly a foot. Steamer Explosion and Loss of Life.

On Saturday morning at half past two o'clock, the steam propeller Fanny Gardner exploded her boiler, on the Delaware and Raritan canal, instantly killing five persons, and injuring three or four others. The steamer was biown to splinters, and her boiler was carried some two hundred yards over a hill fifty feet high. She was loaded with produce, which was scattered far and wide. The loss of boat and cargo is estimated at about $150,000. The following were killed instantly: Carryall Bird, captain James McMann, Michael Nugent, Patrick Comfort, and John deck hands.

Disastrous Collision of Steamboats. On Sunday, as the steamer Rainbow was ascending the Ohio river, nearly opposite Slim Island, she came in collision with the steamer Julia Dean, bound to the Wabash river. The Julia Dean struck the Itain-bow on the starboard side, breaking a hole in her own hull, and sinking immediately. Five or six persons were drowned, four of them deck hands. The Julia Dean's cargo is total lorn, but was insured.

There was no insurance on the boat. The Rainbow received very little damage. Trie California Wagon Roads. The War Department has completed the arrangements for the Wagon Itoad from Fort Defiance to Mogavi River. Edward F.

EF" Sherman Geer, of Peru, Berkshire county, was pulline down an old barn, when the timbers suddenly gave way, and brought the structure down upon him, crushing him to death before the eyes of his neighbors, wife and children. EP Wm. Maxim, of Hingham, was burned by the ignition of fluid in a lamp which he dropped i while lighting his pipe, so severely that he died the next day. The accident occurred at the house of Mr. Glasur, near White Head, Hull.

EF" The New York Liquor Dealers Association numbers over 5600 persons, and has a cash fund of $300,000, which.it is said, win be expended in testing the constitutionality of the license law recently passed by the legislature. CSThe Gardiner (Me.) Journal states that cer tain mechanics and laboring men who left that city for the West a few weeks ago, report discouraging-ly of their prospects of employment. They say the chances are poorer than at home. EF John H. Higbee, of the firm of Mudgett Hiebee.

Newport, N. committed suicide last Saturday in a stable connected with the bouse. The deed is supposed to have been caused by financial troubles. EiT Ship Arabella, from Apalachicola for Liver pool, was struck by lightning on the 14ih, and to- tally consumed. 1 he captain ana crew were taken off the wreck and carried to St.

Georges, where they arrived on the 19th. EF Frederick Emerson, formerly a teacher in this city, and author of "Emerson's Arithmetic," and also patentee of a system of ventilation which bears his name, died at his residence in this city on Sunday, aged 68 years. Fy The Horticultural Society in Providence, as we learn from the Journal, is about to be abandoned for want of interest in its success on the part of the citizens. Its receipts are said to be almost nothing, and every exhibition runs it in debt. EF" The Franklin County Agricultural Society has refused, after an animated discussion, to buy 54 acres on Petty's Plain, between Deertield and Greenfield, for an exhibition ground, though the whole was offered for $3,695.

The lot is now being fitted up for a race-ground. FF3 There is to bo a grand musical festival in Boston, at the Music Hall, May 21st. 22d and 23d, under the auspices of the Handel and Hayden Society. The choir will consist of 900 voices aided by an orchestra of 100 pieces, and the best available talent in the country for the solo department. FThe boiler in the steam plaining mill of Raymond Hathaway at Toledo, Ohio, exploded Monday morning, seriously injuring five persons, of whom one has already died, and two others are not expected to live.

The building was nearly demolished. tW The Florida, of Boston, owned by William Parsons and Franklin Skinner, and commanded by George R. Nickerson, has arrived at Havana with 341 coolies, having lost 22 on ihe passage 17 by natural death and 5 drowned. Two other American ships are noon expected at Havana with coolies. 1 Northern Michigan papers complain of a great scarcity of provisions in their section of the State.

Instances of great suffering and almost star- vation in particular neighborhoods are Property has been saenhced at ruinous prices, ana farms mortgaged to obtain the means of subsistence, HP3 The X. Y. Herald states that a new fillibus- tering movement is on foot in that city, and a small vessel has been chartered by some friends of Santa Anna, and is about to be spnt on for lampico, or someplace in that vicinity, with 2000 or 3000 mus kets, a lot of cartridges, and a lew men. On Wednesday morning the case pf Robert Sullivan, indicted for committing a rape upon Desmond, was concluded, udge Huntington occupying about in charging the jury, who then retired and after being out about two and a half hours, returned a verdict of guilty. tr An English man-of-war has carried into St.

Anns an American schooner, from Africa for Cuba, with 378 slaves. One hundred and tHirty-seven had died on the passage, and the remainder were in a starving condition. It was rumored another slaver was on the coast, and a British steamer had started in pursuit. EFThe experiment of introducing the wild horse from Sable Island to Cape Cod, with a view of producing a hardy and valuable breed, has proved a failure. A large number were thus colonized a few years ago, but instead of improving from their superior food and winter accommodations, they have deteriorated, and nearly all of them died.

VW In some parts of Western New York the hay is all eaten up there is no grain the grass has not come, and cattle are dying for want of food. The snow still lies upon the ground, and the roads are almost impassable, and, as the hay, straw and grain are exhausted, there is no alternative for the farm ers but to suffer their cattle to die. VW It is conclusively shown that the ho'g dis ease" which has proved so fatal in the West, is caused by the animals eating the grain from which whisky is made, alter it has been used at the distil leries. A chemist who lately analyzed a barrel of Ohio whisky, gave his opinion that there was strychnine enough to kill thirty men in that one barrel. CP Mr.

Whitteman, a wealthy gentleman of New Brighton, S. who had been stopping at the St. Dennis Hotel, New York, was found on Friday in his room dead. There was no evidence by which to judge the cause of his death except a deep gash on Ms forehead, but which would hardly prove fatal. There were also several bruises on the face, the furniture was much deranged, looking glass broken, ANOTHEK LETTER FROM TEXAS.

BUFFUM. Probable Suicide. A woman named Huldah Townsend, who boarded at 115 Hudson Street, in this city, left the house Monday morning about 6 o'clock, under circumstances which indicate an intention of suicide. She left sejreral notes, and among them one stating that if any one should inquire after her, she had gone to her home in heaven, where she would be happier than she was here. Her friends think she drowned herself.

She was 30 years old, and belonged in Gardiner, Me. She is said to have been "in love" with a young man, a boarder in the hou.se. The affection however appears to have been entirely upon her side. The Minnesota Indian Murders Contradicted. The St.

Paul's Pioneer of the 18th inst contains a letter from Gen. Shields, dated Faribault, 15th, which pointedly contradicts the rumors of the Indian murders at Mankats. Reliable information also from Blue Earth county states that there is not the slightest foundation for these absurd reports, as there was neither any hostility nor any signs of hostility among the Indian tribes in the Territory. The Minnesotan, of the 20th, confirms the above statement FROM THE PACIFIC. Steamship Illinois arrived at New York, on Wednesday, with nearly $1,500,000 in specie, and a fortnight later advices from California, Nicaragua, CALIFORNIA.

The 20th of April was the day set by the Costa Ricans for the finishing attack upon Walker. The Costa Rican papers give a different version of the battle of the 5th of March, at Kivas, Walker, they say, at the head of 300 men, was routed with great loss of men, arms, and ammunition. In the battle of the 16th, near San Jorge, 100 fillibusters were killed, as stated by the deserters from Walker's camp. The Allies had twenty-two killed, and sixty wounded. At the last accounts, in the same papers, Gen.

Mora held a position on the north and south sides of Itivas, within 400 yards of the Plaza, and was soon to open tire. The latest accounts (March 28) state that fighting had continued at Rivas for four days, without much impression on either side. A correspondence had taken place between the Costa Rican General Xatruch, and Capt. Davis, of the St. Marys, in which the latter refused to interfere between the belligerents.

Costa Rica papers of April 8, contain letters from (Jen. Mora to the Minister of War. He says. Gen. Walker is hemmed in, in the Plaza at Rivas, the Allies being entrenched within 400 yards of the lines, and that he was subsisting on mule and dog flesh.

October 25, 1856. tf GREEN SAND MARL OF NEW JERSEY. THE NEW JERSEY FERTILIZER COMPANY is now prepared to receive orders for this important Manure. For all lands upon which ashes are beneficial, the MARL iB more than a substitute. Professor Cook, In his Annual Report to the Legislature of New Jersey, says: "The value of these MARLS is best seen In the rich and highly cultivated district which has been improved almott imule) by their use.

But it may be interesting to examine the causes of their great value in agriculture, and to compare them with other fertilisers. For example Potash alone may be taken at an average, as five per cent, of the whole weight of the MARL; a bushel, when dry, weighs eighty pounds: and in the proportion mentioned, would contain four pounds of potash. This is nearly as much as there is in a bushel of unleached wood athet." And again "It is probable that the great value of the MARL Is to he found In the fact that it contains nearly all the substances necessary to make up the ash of our common cultivated plants." Price, delivered on board vessels at the wharves of the Company at Portland Heights, Raritan Bay, New Jersey, Sevim Cents fir Udbhsl. N. B.

Those wishing Marl for spring use, should order It Immediately, to secure its early shipment. Orders will be filled in rotation. For further particulars, see Circular, sent free nf pottage. Orders for other fertilisers will receive prompt attention. Address either of the undersigned, CHAS.
