The MYSTERIOUS CASE OF Mrs. BRANNAN.-
We have had in this metropolis and its vicinity,
from time to time, many mysterious cases of a
dark and terrible character, pointing to deeds of
blood and violence, the secret whereof has never
been revealed; but one of the most alarming and
extraordinary cases of all is that of Mrs. Captain
Brannan, who disappeared in July last on Staten
Island, and of whom trace or tidings have never
been found Some time ago the case Of Mary
Rogers, who disappeared in similar way, and
whose fate was never publicly known, excited a
great sensation. The only solution to that mys-
terious affair was that she had been carried
off, violated and murdered. Later still came
the Burdell murder, around which bloody bust
ness the veil of mystery is still wrapped as
impenetrably as ever.
The disappearance of Mrs. Brannan, however,
is surrounded with so many remarkable coinci
dences as to render it more startling and more
incomprehensible than the others.
Here is lady, the wife Of captain and the
daughter of a colonel Of the army--an estimable
wife and mother-against whom there existed no
hostility on the part Of any living being and pos
sessipp character which precludes all suspicion
of voluntary desertion Of her family. In the
broad light of a summers evening she is seen TO
enter the Staten Island ferry boat, which
daily carries thousands Of people, and which
was then filed with passengers; she IL
seen to leave the boat and enter car
rage at the landing at Staten Island, and

Re.Shinglias Old Roofs.

I am fully convinced that millions
of dollars might be saved in our coun-
try every year, by generally pursu-
ing the following method:
Whenever roof begins to leak,
and YOU wish to re-shlngle it, do not
take off the old shingles-put the
new shingles on the top Of the old
ones-but make use of six-penny
nails in place of four-penny or shin
gle nails. The advantage OF this
method will consist in the following
particulars.
/. You will save the expense OF
removing the shingles,
2. The building will not be expos
ed to wet, in case Of rain before 1t is
finished.
8 The roof will be much warmer
aud tighter.
d. Neither snow nor rain can beat
uutIer the butts of the shingles by
heavy winds.
s. The roof will last good full ONE
third longer :,
| have tried this plan, and fiud 1t
has these advantages.
It takes no more shingles, no more
nails in number-only a little longer,
and nc more time to put them on,
and if done in workmanlike man.
ner, will look as we'll as il single :,
But it should be done before the o'd
shingles are too much decayed. All
the moss, ii any. should be removed
or swept off with stiff broom, be-
fore putting on the new shingles.
