A New MATERIAL FOR RooFING--We
learn from the phiadel phia Ledger, through
the communication Of ''Mechanic,' that
new method for roofing houses has been in
vented by two gentlemen Of that State,
which is more durable than shingles, slate,
or tin, as brilliant as glass, fire proof and
water proof, red, blue, green, or any other
color that may be desirod;a non-conduclor
of electricity, reflector of heat, cheaper
than tin. lighter than slate; being vitriied,n
is almost indesiructible by time or weather,
and so easily put on that the largos, roof
can be covered in single day, if desired.
1t requires very little descen,; a roof cover
ed with this material may be made as flat
as any Tin roof without the least danger of
leaking. Nothing short Of actual violence
will injure it. Should it come into general
use, our cities will outshine the kremlin OF
Moscow. When house with slate roof is
on fire, the states fly so that fremen are in
great danger should they come near it, but
this article, having passed through The fire
in the process of manufacture, is not liable
to this objection; its durabili y is such that
it will last as long as The house.

pours ii upon the meat boiling hot. This
mode is affirmed to take away the tough and
