.Gutta Percha & India Rubber
.CIMEN'I' ROOI‘IN G.
HIS article has been thoroughly tested by
builders, Architects, and others, and the
experience of years has proved it to be the
cheapest and most durable roofing in use.
We call attention to the following facts :
lst—It is fire and water proof.
2d—-—From its great elasticity it is not inju-
riously affected by extremes of heat and cold.
3d—-It is adapted. to all kinds of Roofs,
whether steep or flat, and is not in want of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs.
4th—The cost is only about One-Half that
of Tin, and it is twice as durable.
It is readily applied to Old Shingle Roofs, ,
without removing. the shingles, which is a
great dcsideratum to parties who do not wish
to risk having their ceilings and furniture ru-
ined, while repairs are being made.
Leaky Tin and Metal Roofs are readily re-
paired with Gutta Percha Cement, and
prevented from further corrosion and leaking
thereby insuring a perfectly water-tight roof
for many years. '
Specimens of the Roofing can be seen by
calling on the subscriber, at South Norwalk.
All orders b I letter will receive prompt at-
tention. . F. HUNT, South Norwalk.

"SPOONS."
NY a. n. SILL.
Poem delivered at the Wooden Spoon Erhtbt'a'on
of loss of 1861, ,Yab College ; and report-
f the Norwalk Gazette.
I sing, oh Muse l the praise of him, unknown,
Who first invented for his race, a spoon,
Alas! that History, though with partial pen,
Writing the names of hosts who taught new crimes,
New kinds of murder; trumpeting his fame
Who set the guillotine whirling ofi‘ men’s heads—
~Is silent to that delicate, quick brain ‘
Whose meditations first conceived a spoon.
Silent to those deft fingers, whose swift skill
First hollowed out the ample, concave bowl,
And joined the polished handle’s graceful curve;
Perchancc some urchin o’er his Irish broth,
0r Scottish porridge, dipping ere it cooled
Bis luckiess finger for a stolen taste,
While dancing wildly, blowing at his hands,
'First felt the stern necessity of spoons.
But one would rather dream that long ago,
While yet Italian forests sheltered Fauna,
And fountains plashed o’er whitest-med water-
nymphs, .
While woman was left just simply beautiful,
th dext'rously disguised from Nature’s grace,
With folds and fiounces circling tier on tier, .
Quite like a full-blown cabbage upside down ;
Under the sky of balmy Italy, -
Coached on a pebbly beach of the Egean,
Some dark-eyed maiden, watching the blue waves
Come rippling restlessly upon the shore,
Leans by a brimming vase of purple wine;
Too indolent to bend her queenly head
And touch her ripe lips to the vine-wreathed rim,
She lifts a sea-shell bathed in brillianthnes,
Whose rich tints melt in one another’surms.
As if a sunset sinking in the sea,
Had fallen asleep within the ahell‘s pure pearl
And never wakened. Dipped into the wine
She lifts its luscious burden to her lips.
Such was the first of spoons. Why stop to tell ‘
How swift the fashion spread throughout the world?
From every wood and metal they were formed,
0n Indian shores of balmy waving palm,
0f odorous Sandal-wood in Arabv,
In bitter Norway—of the barren pine,
The great armed cooks in kitchens of old Rome
Weilded huge spoons of iron, as they cooked
Those giant luncheons of huge roasted boars.
Tradition even tells of one old man,
Surprised at supper by barbarian hordes,
Snatched from the boiling soup the iron spoon ‘
And dashed into the fight—and so laid on,
Slashing and banging stontly right and left,
That victory crowned him, and returning home,
A hundred maidens met him, strewing flowers,—
The glorious first of many after times
That Beauty has done honor to the Spoon.
But it was left for English hands at last
To bring to full perfection of its form
The slender spoon. Like every fair design
Whatever grace it gained from other dimes,—
Whatever Eastern tint, or Southern shape;—
The Anglo-Saxon gave the last light touch.
Even the fairest thing in all the earth—
Beantiful, blessed woman—was not quite,-—'
Not quite perfectlon,.till in English air ;—
Was not, and is not,—nowhere else we find
The perfect image of the perfect Eve :
Dark Spanish beauties, with their passionate looks
Are suited to guitars and serenadQ—
And maids of Italy with melting eyes
Need moonlight and a min for effect—-
Only the Anglo-Saxon face and form,
The tender cheerful face and rounded form—
Can bear God’s sunshine and the morning breeze.
These same artistic English were the first
To make a perfect tea-spoon—moulding it
From frost-white silver and rich yellow gold. .
0h Tea-spoon ! fairest of thy graceful race i
What tender memories float around thy name-
Mixed with the delicate fragrance of the tea.
How often from thy slender silver edge,
Have our blest lips sipped liquid ecstasies—
When dainty hands have brimmed the fragile cup,—
So dainty it must needs “inebrlate”
As well as “cheer.” How often too those hands
With delicate dippings of thee in ice-cream—
With dainty touchings of its crisp, white edge
Have turned the tea-spoon to a Cupid’s dart.
Bat wherefore do I linger in your praise,
0h table-spoon and tea-spoon I Are ye not
Of vulgar silver merely melted down,
0f silver which in paltry sixpences
Is taken by dapper clerks from smirking maids 1’
Or even of gold-does not its yellow glare I
Bring to our fancy Wall St. dust and din ‘P
But ’tis to thee, I’d sing O); WOODEN SPOON 2
Not hammered from the jagged mass of ore
Tom from the muddy depths of dismal mines—
PBuI cut and carven from the very heart
0f some deep-bosomed tree whose leafy top
Has kissed the flying lips of myriad winds.
Beneath whose branching boughs lovers have eat
And dreamed a heaven in each other's eyes :
Perchance from one of these wide-arching elms
Whose branches build themselves to beautiful shapes
And whisper gentle things with afy lips,
As though the Poet who planted em had breathed
His own sweet spirit over‘ every seed.
Thee then 0h Wooden Spoon ! my verse would praise,
Not as thou comest to boyish memories,
Stirring the hasty-pudding, smoking hot,
With bowl deep-searching in its golden depths
Swaying the yellow mass from side to side,
Or stifiiy sticking from its central spot
Sure test that it was done. But as to-night
It passes from our hands to him, our friend .
The truthful token from a hundred hearts,
Its ample bowl, brimming with brother love,
Twined with the clasping vine of friendship‘s growth
The twining tendrils of a three years' spring. ,
It tells not of the love we give to girls,
Such love as lives upon a trembling touch,
A golden ringlet or a tender tone ;—
Nor of the love that maidens give to us,
Somewhat the worse for wear-4th handpr so—
The flutter of a gentle woman-heart
Ready to time its beating and keep time
With whomsoever is the nearest man-
From requiem to Jig-music in a flash:
No such affections cluster round our Spoon—
But the strong clasp of hands that never fail,
The faith of lips that do not lisp sweet lies,-
The beat of hearts that having throbbed in tune
Today and yesterday,—throb so for age!
And when this hour that’s passing from us now
So lit with happy faces. shell go down
Among the wrecks and ruins of the Past.—
When he to, whom we give it, is grown old,
Some summer afternoon when waving gran
And swaying trees shall beckon back his youth,
From some old drawer, all dusty with long years—
Where lie the worn mementoes of the‘Past,
He shall bring forth the Spoon, and holding it,
There shall fioat up through all the dim long years
Old College memories ;—how we sat and sung ,
Those wild old tunes under the summer elms,
And how—on Winter nights—by glowing fires,
With talk and song, and tale, the hours flow by ;
And there shall seem around him as ofyore,
The kindly faces and the cheerful tones
So vividly, that he will stretch his hand
To give the old warm greeting, and will weep
To think how long ago those old times were,—-
How dim with gathered years—and yet will smile
Because they were so bright—and there perchauce
His little grandchild clinging at his knee,
Shall lisp the question “why he weeps and smiles,"
And he will speak more kindly than his wont
And stroke the tossing curls more tenderly,
Answering with still a tremble in the tone——
“I took the Wooden Spoon in '61,—
They gave it me to show what friends we were;
We that were classmates then In dear old Yale-—
In those old days of rare old ’61."
NOTE. The Spoon is e1 antly carved of rosewood,
and is nearly three feet in engt .

Early Manufactures) in ‘Now England.
Fire ' arms were' manufactured in ’large
quantities in Colony times. vHon. Hugh Orr,
of Bridgewater,about 1748,made 500 stands of
arms for the province of Massachusetts Bay,
which were deposited in Castle,William;
nearly all, however, were carried Off by the
British when they evacuated the town 0 Bos-
ton. Mr. Orr Was, a pioneer in many articles
of manufacture in the Old Colony, particu-
larly of iron. He erected the‘ first trip ham-
mer known in" this part of the country. ‘ By
his exertions and experiments, scythes and
axes were first introduced, and for several
years he was' the only edge-tool maker in
. New England; ‘
Powder was an article of. much anxiety in
regard to its manufacture. We ,find’ even - as
early as 1769 a record that Edward Rawson,
who represented 'Newbury, in the . General
Court that year, wmgranted'by the Colony
“500 acres ofland at, ecoit so ashes . .On
with business of Powder if the . salt ; eter
come.” But' he did not succeed, as in 1648
he is granted 500 acres to indemnifi‘jhim' for
his losses. “In 1648'the General Court'mado
an order about preparing houses-for saltpeter
that there might be. owder madeiuvtheCola
on , but as 'et it ha _ not gone on.”
1775 erichard Penn, jwho was in
England charged with a. petition for 5redress
from the Continental. Congress, stated ,“that
l- the Pennsylvanians-perfectly understood the
making of gunpowder; and , also the manu-
facture of small‘arms." -Probably*the first
powder millerected in this 'part’of the coun-
try was at' Andover. It was built by the
Hon. Samuel Phillips, Jr., in 1776, and. some
remains of it are still to be seen. The Colo.
ny supplied him with saltpetre and sulphur,
and he was to receive eight pence per pound .
for manufacturing. The , resolve - under.
which the contractwas .made is dated June
8, 1776, and requires him to tgive bonds for
the faithful performance {-0 ~the cantract;
also,'he was to cause to be published allthe
discoveg'es he might . make relative to the
construction of the mill and the ' manufactu-
ring of powder. During the yearl776 that
mill turned out about 30,000 pounds'of‘ pow-
der. In 1778 e mill wasvblown up, andjaf-
ter that time e manufacture was given up,
and-that of paspersubstituted by the same
gentleman. nbsequently, about - 1794, a
smaller powder mill was erected, which wus
also blown up or burnt down in‘*1796._. , This
ended themanufacture in Andover. .
Although but'little had been done in min-
