a New fire Engine.

A petition, numerously signed by some OF u
largest firms of the city, was presented to Coune''
lsst evening, asking that body to appropria
5000. for the purposs of buying one OF .ne
largest siEe Dabcock Fire Engines. The pes'hon
va referred to the COMMITTEES on the f're 70
partment. Of which Mr.. Litchtenstein is chair
man. or course that gentleman will give the sub
;sct hi. attention. and will examine into the
merits OF the new process for extinguishing fref'
h.sore ha reports. We understand that these
engines are coming into very general use, IN the
West especially. In Chicago some eighteen or
twenty have recently been ordered, and num-
ber, are also held ty New York and osner
citiss. The recent trial in this city was conciu-
sivs - to their efc ency to extinguish tires wnen
properly handled, and We understand they are
more easily controlled and managed than Inc
ordinary steam engine, and wholly free from
danger.

Tho Mansavd Roof.

Fashion sways the minds OF American citizens
not more perhaps than it does the people OF any
other country; but all too much nevertheless. The
Nansard roof is one of the foles Of fashion, costly
and unnecessary like the material that adorns the
dresses of our most fashionable ladies. When first
introduced in this country, it was accounted odd
and unplsaslng rather than adding TO the beauty
of house. and except for cottages III the country
Was rarely used.
But gradually they grew into favor for topping
out high buildings, to which they are only becom'
ing. For years they have been denounced BY the
press a. of the most dangerous character, since
the manner of their construction, as well a. the
light wooden materisl of which they are made'
render them more liable to burn rapidly, sending
forth immense volumes Of fame, and such great
heat, that fremen are not able to use their hose
with effect, and often the most powerful engine
cannot approach sufficiently near to cover them
with large stream. As yet bot very limited
number of houses in the business part OF our city
covered with this kind of roof, and it Is hoped
that our people will take warning in time and that
we will be secure from any serious injury from
their use in case of fire. The city Of New York
ssnt commissioner to Boston to examine into the
cause Of the.conHagration and ascertain the facts
most useful to enable them to provide against such
seaamity. The report which has been made TO
the Board Of Aldermen has induced that body to
forbid the erection of Mansard roofs in New York
unlsss Of Ere proof material. In Wilmington it is
necessary to obtain. by an ordnance, permission
to erect frame building. or to make frame ad-
dition. within certain prescribed limits But We
do not think the prohibition extends TO roofs
Certainly numerous Mansard roofs have been put
up without asking permission Of Council. and yet
properly considered, these roofs must inHude an
addition, since in most instances they have upright
sides and ends, and although called a roof they are
in fact story. While we make no suggestion as
to the Of these roofs for dwellings built sepa-
ratsly, on single lots, We would admonish our
friends Of the terrible consequences that may re-
suit from their use in extensive rows or blocks,
and point them to Boston for a warning in time,
perhaps. to prevent a similar misfortune here.
