The .VeW York Morning .Neoos does not put
much faith in the doings of the Worlds Conven-
ton The News says:
"With the protested object of union, and peace,
as the result OF their deliberations, this assembly
is composed Of the most repulsive and discordant
materials imaginable. Each individual has a plan
"a grand specific for the evils of society," most of
them essentially variant the one from the other,
and it is ludicrous in the extreme to witness the
gravity and earnestness with which each advo-
Gates his peculiar theory. In their warmth they
do not hesitate to tell the grey headed old man
who presides over their meetings that he is an inn
practicable visionary, which he, in turn, retorte
by unscrupulously throwing under the table all
resolutions that will not square with his ideas of
propriety and the progress Of reform"

Joseph Lair, of Passyunk, says the Philadel-

terday afternoon, while cunning near the Rope
Ferry. He was crossing the Schuvlkil in a
scow, and as he was leaning on his fow ling piece,
conversing with some companions, with his
right hand ever the muzzle, and his left arm
resting on the top of the hand, the gun which
was cooked, went off, in consequence OF some
thing coming in contact with the trigger The
hand was blown to pieces and the arm dreadfully
shattered. A brother of Mr. Lair met with a
similar accident only few weeks since, and had
his LETT arm amputated at the shoulder joint. Mr.
L. is the third member of his family that has been
injured in this way.

RooFs.-The construction of roofs has ALWAYS
been one of the most difficult parts of architecture
The upright sides cannot easily be so constructed
to withstand the outward pressure of the rafters
upon their SUBMITS. When beams can be laid
horizontally from one side of the house to the
other, there is no difficulty for the roof is in eff
feet a construction by itself, bound together by
its own tmbers. But when the ceiling of the
room is elevated into the roof, the difficulty in
binding the posts together is great and in many
cases, especially in large buildings the best skill
has been found incompetent to keep the roof from
settling, and the walls from bullying. Such
misfortune, it is already known, befelthe noble
edihce of the Church of the Pilgrims at Brook
lyn. Various expedients were thought of to
remedy the mischief. One was to put pillars in
side, so constructed with the galleries as to ap-
pear symmetrical. Another was to take off the
roof, lower the ceiling and put on roof of diff
ferent construction,
Every plan suggested, however, was quite ex-
pensive, and on various other accounts quite OBJ
jectionable, until Mr.. Bishop appeared, who is
building the high bridge at Harlem for the Cro-
ton acqueduct A great many bridges have re-
Gently been built by fastening the horizontal tim
bers of the sides so firmly together by cross work
that the whole is made like plank standing on
its edge, and capable of sustaining very great
weight. Long spans have thus been constructed
upon railroads, and found to sustain the great
weight of locomotives and freight trains better
than arches. One of these bridge sides Mr. Bish-
op proposed to place under the ridge pole, from
one end to the other of the house. and so hanging
the roof upon the new construction. Every BODY
saw at once that the remedy was perfect, besides
being cheap and easily applied. The same con-
trivance must be desideratum in thousand
other cases.-JOnr Gam
