A JOINT resolution was offered and immedi-

The Governors messages were then taken
up by the senate in their order, announcing
his signature Of a large number of bills, and
also transmitting his veto of q number. The
veto of the bill to apply excess Of taxes to
payment of town aud county railroad debts
was laid over one day. Several local bills,
vetoed on the ground of being "against pub
lie policy" were passed over the veto by both
houses. As to the large number of local bills
vetoed because they provided for the election
of police magistrates to serve but two, years,
the detect in all OF them was cured by the
passage of general bill in both houses,
amending them SO as to avoid the Governors
objection. The Chicago lake front bill, about
the most important of all the bills vetoed, it
is believed will be passed over the Governors
head, by combination with the, friends OF
the railroad tax bill.

Tnx CATTLE TRADE OF the UNITED
.SrxrEs.-An exchange says:

But few people have an intelligent idea
ofthe cattle trade Of the United States.
Some interesting facts and figures on this
question were recently submitted before
the Social Science Association ut Albany
1t was stated that the consumption of beef
in France was 5000 tons in England,
ego 900 tons and in the United States
1000 900. One of the principal sources of
supply Of cattle to the Eeastern States and
New York was Texas. When the war
broke out Texas had only 5000 900 of cat
tie. There were uoW 10000 600 head Of
cattle in that State. The total supposed
value Of all the cattle in the United States
wac 81 600. 900 900, and the total consump-
ton amounted to 100000 head. In
New York alone there VAS S32, 600 900
worth of meat annually consumed. besides
5000 .00I pounds Of butter valued at $685.
0O0,O90; 52.O00,0OO pounds Of cheese,
valued at, $4,000, 900; and 10000 900
gallons of milk, valued at $1,000 900
total Of $55, 900.

New Invention.
ROOFS OF ALI. KINDS TO De IMPROVED.

| 8
From the Richmond Dispatch, 1871
A patent was obtained few days ago
by the American Fibre. Company for an en-
tirely novel mode demonstrating roofs and
walls of buildings, waterproof floors, tanks,
SC.
The fibre used is made from the cane or
reeds of the cane brakes of the Caroliuas
and other Southern States. disintegrated
by the explosive force Of steam BY the pro-
cess recently described ii, the Richmond
Dispatch. The fibre as it comes from the
steam gun is in the shape of long, fine
tendrils, resembling oakum. This fibre is
twisted or spun into single yarn or strand,
several Of which strands are interlaced so
as to.form stout mating, which is charged
with composition Of tar and pulverizsd
or soapstone, limestone, &C.. forced into
and amongst the ibres by great pressure,
so as to make o solid slab. The fibre being
thoroughly disintegrated and very absor-
bent, forms good base for the mastic.
A series OF these slabs made with rabbet
joints are Joined together and nailed to the
rafters, the joints are cemented, and then
another series Of the slabs, made in the
same manner, are laid over the Others so as
TO break joints in every direction, the up
per series being fastened to the lower with
mastic composed of the pulvesized slate,
ETC., and tar, and the joints being temented
together. A light. strong solid indsstructi-
BILE slab is thus produced thoroughly water
proof and practically 6reproof also. A
similar composition. used for roofs in Mon
treal and New Orleans, is unaffected by
the heat or cold.
As the steam-blown reed fibre can be
supplied from Norfolk. Va. and WiIming-
ton, N. G., to New York, Richmond, Bal
timors, Boston ETC., for fifteen to twenty
dollars per ton, and the pulverized slate
can be obtained at about the SAME price.
and the tar is cheap also. II Is claimed that
this invention secures the cheapest as we'll
Is the best and most dufabIe roof ever
made.
The roofresembles solid block Of slate
or stone abont an inch thick. A coating Of
sand is forced into the composition 70 as
to tighten the color and make II resemble
stone. The cost il less than half that old
tin roof. &
-.
The inventors propose to make the
same slabs available for the outer walls OF
buildings i'd lieu Of bricks, stone, or wood.
The same company have also obtained .
patent Tor substitute for lath and plaster.
For this purpose fbrous composition
panels are made BY the above method ffom
steam-blown cane fibre. ia combination
With silicats d soda liquid aint). lime and
clay. These panels are fre-proof, and well
adapted for ceilings, inner walls and floors,
also for cabins of steamboats, and railway
cars. It il claimed that the fbrous COM
position panels are much cheaper than
lsth and plaster, and that they 90 not wnrp
crack, peel, crumble or decay, and that
they keep ont heat and cold.
