That the following may receive the
notice which it deserves, we take the
liberty of stating, that it is received
from the Rev. Mr.. Allen, of Pembroke,
who has used it on the sides and roof of
all of his buildings, except the house in
which be resides. At very little dis
lance, the paint on the latter cannot be
distinguished from this cheap, and or
namental mixture. Beside the neat ap-
pearance it gives, it may be recommend
ed by the arguments of economy. as
protecting the wood from the yicisstudes
OF weather, and of precaution, in guard
Ing against fire. The latter should be
an argument of great weight in this
town. We can in no better way ex-
press orr gratitude for the signal favour
OF Providence, in saving US from the
ravages of this destructive element.

and practicable way, against the mis-
Chief it may occasion.

for the roots of houses. 1t answers al
the purposes of common paint, and aso
protects the roof from fire. Those who
are now erecting new houses, or are
about to paint the roofs of old buildings.
would do well to try it. The expense
OF painting roof in this way would be
much less than the common METHOD
The cement becomes very hard and

than the best kind of paint. The fol-
