C. Randle Gutta Percha & India Rubber CEMENT ROOFING. I‘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 p'roof. 2d—Fr0m 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. 4tlI—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 desideratum 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 Pcrcha Cement, and prevented from further corrosion and leaking thereby insuring a. perfectly water-tight roof for many years. Specimens of the Rcofing can be seen by calling on the subscriber, at South Norwalk. All orders by letter will receive prompt at- tention. D. F. HUNT, South Norwalk. INSURANCE.

I love thy blue waters. deep, clear, and serene. When brightly the sun shines at morn, The purple mist rising the valleys among, Like Venus, is truly sea-born. I love thy full waves when the afternoon breeze Sets iii strong and fresh from the Sound, The smell of the sen brings again to my heart The sea-«tales in youth I have found. And so when the shades of the cv’ning draw on, And thoughtfiil'l stroll ’long thy shore, I seem to see ships from the Indies arrive— Those rich-laden vessels of yore; I think of the pirates who roamed o’er the deep, And though I condemn their wild life, Their daring I honor, and so in my heart Theth and romantic have strife. Thus in the world ever the truly heroic Seem often but lightly esteemed, The world has paid glory to blood-thirsty men, But its saviors and mnrtyrs coutemned. Those green quiet isles that lie in thy bosom Arc spots very dear unto me, They‘re emblems complete of that rest in the sky Where safe from gll waves we shall be. In the still summer moonlight I love far the best To glide in a boat down the tide, Then all I can ask, joy’s measure to fill, Is to have her I love by my side.

When the baby died, we said, With a sudden secret dread, “Death be merciful, and pass-— Leave the other ;” but alas l While we watched, he waited there— One foot on the golden stair. One hand beckoning at the gate, ”Till the home was desolate. Friends say, “It is better so, Clothed in innocence to go”— Sny, to case the parting pain, That ”your loss is but their gain." Ah, the parents think of this! But remember more the kiss From the little rose-red lips. And the print of finger tips Left upon a broken toy, Will remind them how the boy And his sister charmed the days With their pretty, winsome ways. Only time can give relief To the weary, lonesome grief— God‘s sweet minister of pain Then shall sing ofloss and gain. NORA PERRY. -———————o n-c.» PUBLIC ACTS, PASSED MAY SESSION, 1861. CHAPTER LVI.

Continued on fourth page. v‘O’oo— W“ From the Tribune‘s special we glean the following: E. P. Dougherty of the 7lst New York, Captain Allen of ihe llili Massachusetts, and R. H. Gray of the 4th Maine regiments, pris- oners at Manassais, have escaped and bring intelligence from that point. Col. Corcoran lingered two or three days only, and Colonel Slocum three days; the latter was the only officer buried in a coffin. There were 280 of our men in the hospital after the battle, of whom 32 have died. The dead Zouaves Wei-c left unburried. The rebels admit a loss of 1,500, and Mr. Dougherty think it-twice that number. 'l‘hey expressed wonder at the good shooting of the "Yankees.” It is be lieved that the killed and wounded on our side will not exceed 500. Several regiments are remiss in giving returns. There ure now near seventy thousand troops at Washington. ——————-*c‘.>o With Irishman recently went into arum hole in Pitisfield and wanted aglass of cheap whiskey, but by accident was given sulphu- ric acid, and went off.
