GLAssSmISdLEs.- Pittsburg man
has been granted patent for the
manufacture of shingles composed of
glass. 1t is claimed for this material
that it is much moro durable. stron
ger, and more impervious to rain
than slate or any other substance now
used. The manufacture OF the
shingles will be also compare
lively inexpensive, and they can be
placed in position by any ordinary
workman. These shingles have the
advantage over slate in several par
ticulars. In consequence of their
shape they lie solid on the roof, can
be used on comparatively flat roofs
and they will admit Of persons step
ping on them without danger of
fracture-a quality which Stat does
not possess. They are interlocktd
SO as to leave no interstices between
them; and one rivet holds each pair
of shingles, so that they cannot be-
forced from their places by the wind
or other atmospheric disturbances.
They are also made so as to have
very little waste material.

woman made feint of rushing down
the steps again. at which the goat de-
scended with such speed that his
momentum carried him half across
the roadway, whereupon the subject
OF his attentions nilnbly slipped in
side the door and shut it again just
in time to prevent him from charg

this the goat pranced around for

est 10 the principles it should uphold;
we feel desire TO impress on you the
importance of the subject of Temper
ance as branch of the studies which
should claim the attention of al pupils
of the First-day school, and especial
ly the children, whose plastic minds
will receive the truths ON this impor-
tant subject, knowing that it is to
these that we look for succession Of
faithful laborers, who shall maintain
and uphold the testimony of truth as
professed by this people. 1t is partic-
ularly needful that those in the inno-
cency of youth should be taught, the
importance of hygiene and physiology
and in connection with these the me-
cessity Of total sbstinnence from all
intoxicating beverages, and from tc.
bacco, which is not only Injurious in
itself, but tends to promote the de-
sire for stimulating drinks. The
temptation to the latter, from their as
sociates an companions, as we'll IS
from the example of those who are
older aud stronger and more common
than the former, whilst Indifference
may throw the young into the way Of
temptation On both these habits. If
our children are properly trained at
home and in their schools, they win
be impressed with the necessity Of
total abstinence,aud We believe the re-
suits will be of lasting importance
Children look to their teachers for ad-
vice, and hence great responsibility
rests upon you in exercising . proper
influence over the youthful minds.
This Committee, in pursuance Of
the work assigned them, have felt
deeply impressed with the necessity si
this labor by all engaged in the great
work of education. We have selected
a number of books and tracts which
will aid you in this direction, and we
hope to have your hearty cooperation
in carrying out this desirable work,
the fruits of which will be manifest,
not only in the childrea whom you
are engaged in teaching, but in the
community at large.
Signed on behalf Of the Committee,
HENRY T. CHILD, Clerk.
