COMPOSITION ROOFING,
HARJUSBURG, PA, , .
RESPECTFULLY inform the citizens of liar-
risburg, Reading, Lancaster, Lebanon, and
their vicinitiesythatwo„are prepared to 'put on
roofs on most terms, and at the shortest
notice.
We respeafiiiii call.the attention of persons a
bout to builit,,t'o our invaluable method of roofing,
now mueli*seil. : througliout the principal cities of
the_ ,I,lniAed 44.6 . 8 and their vicinities. This mode
of roe - 66'g 'baring all the combined requisites of
cheapness, Durability, and Security against Fire
and Water, and dispensing with high gablewalls;
the roofs re'quir.c.an inclination of not ut% o than
three-quarters (i) of an inch to the foot, and in
many eases saving the entire cost of rafters—the
Ceiling joist being used.
The gutters are made of the same material,
Without any extra charges •,,consequently, our
roofs are put op at altnostr•bitlf the cost of either
Tin t , or'Sliingles. The Material bAng of
an imperishable nature, it surpasses all others in
Durability;- . ;-besides, in case of any casualty, it
is the most easily repaired of anyoctter roof now
in use. Yet, tbe best . procilnle can offer as to its
being both fire, and wter proof. are our many re
ferences, to any one of whom we are ut liberty
to refer. •
N. B.—But let it be distinctly understood,
(since we manufacture our own composition, and
do the work in person,) that we warrant. all our
work proof against both Fire and Water ; if they
prove contrary, we will 'elieit Willingly ;hide the
results;,,
The materials being mostly non:Ctii:dneturs of
heat, no roof is so cool in summer, or so warm in
winter. Those wishing to use our roof should
gir,e the rafters a pitch of about ope inch to the
foot. [navy Yl, 1854.-4 m.

"ANOTHER TlA.fr-FuLL,
JOEL:'
&port'yarn wai.spun to its last evening, of and
concerning the experiments in nrilling of a couple,
of ••friends of our, now or lately sojourning for
.health and pleasure at the Tallageda springs. It
is unnecessary to give the mimes of those gentle
men, but for convnienee we will call them, re
spectively, John iid ;Joel. They, it may be re
marked, have great, similarity of tastes and among
other penchants, re very fond of fishing ; and
every body know that the vicinity of Talladega
springs offers fintopportunities to the knight of
the fly.
Thus John and Jpol—there being no religious
'services at.the springs that day—went out, Sun
day before last, 't the mill of Mr'. P. a .mile or
two down the creek,-With &view to a dinner of
small trout, and dream:' With them went their
invited guest, Mr, Smith; and "Mika" eontrii:Ml
to get them de*en . imitle or two of wino.
The party was snug; the wind - propiotts, and
the fish altegether amiable. A cosy, nice.dinner
of brown crisp mountain fish was s oon'vrashed
down with a few glasses of champagne; and then
cigars were lit. As the smoke curled languidly
about their noses, Setae, (who was invisibly pres.-
ent mithontan invitation,) suggested to John that
that mill was a 'islew coach," and couldn't cut
much lumber; and 'join' eaprestbe same to
Joel. Joel thought difteren tly, - and so did Smith.
"Let's try her," said John.
"Agreed," said Jtiel and Smith.
It was short work.; a largo pine log lay at right
angles across the earriago of the mill; and it was
Agreed to "let her:rip" through this. ACcording
ly the gate was raised ind inuriediatelY - the still
ness of "the grand old woods" was broken by,the
rapid, sharp strokes of the saw. In a minute the
log was brought up, and the saw wont rapid -
through.
"Now stop her,"-said - .Teel, and 'John and Smith
essayed to do so.
But the pill wouldn't be stopped, but went
Clattering &Ally ns bard as ever.
"Stop her, John, or —, she'll split herself
In
,two," shouted Joel. But all the fixtures were
obstinate and refused to'yield to. the exertions of
John and Smith. On went ale sair‘
and Joel perspired. -
Presently the carriage presented some metallic
obstruction to.its Vasse/re q the saw, but "true
as steel" it went against t e c struction—andgen
the teciliii;l;. [Some pieces of in had been
left upon the carriageway.] But 'yet it ceased
not—up and down! up and down the true steel
to the dull east-iron, until suddenly a small flame
broke out among the dust and splinters near the
point of contact.
',By thunder, John," said Joel, "the infernal
machine is on fire! What shall we do ?"
"Run down.to the creek, and bring, Up your
bat full of water," said Joit. Joel 'looked affee
tions.tely at bis, handsome tile, which is always
kept neatly brushed, but submitting to a dire ne
cessity, ho strait way made it a fire bucket and
commenced figh tingthe.fin - Jahn and• Smith's
straws were unavailable r t ithVertheless, they. did
all those wild inconsiderate thingsi which moat
persons will do, in ease of fire, when there is no
possibility of doing any good.
•
Still that toothlesb •saw rippe al, .singing a de
mon song as it scraped against the dull cast iron.
And the fire kept gaining a little.
• Joel labored faithfully, and every two minutes
brought up his bat full of water and threw it up
on the fire. John stood dosparingly leaning a
gainst a post in the in ill, and hallooed to his friend
as he seemed to pause at the brink of the stream.
"Another hatful, Joel, for heaven,s sake ! The
infernal thing will east us at least $l2OO apiece,
if it burns I,'
.
."Ben-icle my hot r' said Tool ;hut he brought the
water and poured it on.
On went the devilish saw, raking, rasping, and
tearing itself to pieces,
At this juncture, Mr. P.,•the owner of the mill,
having seen the smoke came down to the mill, and
with great difficulty the saw was stopped and the
fire put out. Joel wai previoindi with
carrying water in his hat, and JOhn was quite
used up with excitement, while Smith was breath
less from his exertions at 'some lever which ho
supposed migle. havesome influence in quieting
the demon 8117.
" Gentleman," said the profit:loer) 4 retir polite
ly, "it is etisy,pßolatit to see why you could net
stop the saw after you r•et •it lisping, This mill

"For Heaven's sake, Mr. P." said John," nti
exptanotions on that paint I It is the first mill I
ever set a-going and I,.eltall, never start atiother
lug send us - your bill 'l:it the damages., and let's
soy, no more about it."
The "1.10, , P paid SPO for not knowing how to
stop a saw, and that John, inn feverish sleep, (ha
has that blessing, chills and fever)shouted out to
his room-mate—
One more hat-full, Joel !"
AN O'ER TRUE TALE:
A few afternoons since,, in Walking down street,
our attention was arrested, by an humble proces
sion passing slowly Ur to tile Cemetery. It was
one carriage only, and its occupants were a de
cently dressed man and wonuta--evidently .hus
band awl wife—holding between them a diminu
tive white coffin—that of a eltild abort Wive
years old. Both looked pale and care-worn; the
woman weeping silently—the man, however, with
a stern expression about the brow, eyes and mouth,
that showed what efforts he was making to retain
his composures. Two days after, about the same
hour, we again saw the same sad procession—the
same mourners—only those two ;Mimed beings
—and resting on their laps.n tiny coffin, evident
ly that of a babe.
The woman this thne had :t haggard expression
Llank stare, a bow ildered look. She evident
ly saw nothing of what passed around her. She
was all likelihood unconsch4s of even the extent
of her own bereavement.. , The misery she bad
undergone bad overburth'eit'i ter mental facet
tieS j they were strained almost beyond ender;
&nee. She bad no tears to shed; life was evi
dently indifferent to her.
The man on the other hand, aPpeatt to be
overwhelmed with grief; A?r:ir.the firm compres
sure of thollps; the almost fierce gaze of the eyes,
the fixed flown of the brows: The father bent
down on the little white tins thiit seemed almost
4m•
a toy, so small was it. Ms arms were stretched
over it, his face loaned on it ; it seemed as if ho
were trying to grasp and hold to his bosom, and
drag from the tomb, the cold form of his babe.—
It was, doubtless, the darling of the house he
thus embraced ; it was perhaps, too, the lust of
the little Cites of the house.

HALIFAX, itiOndily, Sept. 27.
The bark Lotus, from Liverpool, arrived in liali
fax harbor on Sunday afternoon, with twelve of
the sixty-seven surviving passengers of the steam
ship Austria,--burut at sea September 13th, in
tat. 45° 01', lon. 41° 30',—taken from the bark
Maurice 04 the 14th.
At a little after 2 o'clock, on the 13th, dense
volumes of smoke burst from the after entrance
41: itce Iti4 ship was instantly put at
half speed, at which she continued until the mag
azine exploded. The engineers, it is inferred,
were instantly suffocated. Fire was next seen
.
breaking through the lights amidships, and trav
eled aft- with fearful rapidity. Some persons - let
down a boat from the port-side of the quarter-deck
and she was thought to be crushed under the
screw. An attempt was made to launch a boat
on the starboard side, but it was swamped from
the numbers who rushed into it and all were lost.
All the first cabin passengers were on the pooP
except a few gentlemen who mus t have been
smothered in the smoking.room.
alany second cabin paesengers were alsO oh
the poop, but a number of them got shut into
their cabin by fire. Some of them were pulled
up through the ventilator, but the greater number
could not be extricated. The last, Woman drawn
up said there were six alreatl3 ,- suffocated. The
ladies and gentlemen on the por;i) iumlied, i tits
the sea by twos and threes, some of &Oo
dles in flames. Several hafinted, but were.tiriv
en. to it at. the last moteset.l hour not
a soul was Lobe seen on the! op. • -
The French bark' Maurice, Captain . Ernest
'Bruce, - came alongside the Ater*. about • 5
o'ciotir, P. M., and reactseci 40 passengers, chiefly
WHOLE NO. 484.
The fire now came on tee fiercely- to attempt to
get up any more from the swamped boat. All
the first cabin passengers were o'd the poop, with
the exception of a : few gentlemen, who must have
been smothered in the sin oking teeth. IN ' lany of
the second cabin passengers were else on the poop,
but,aminber of them got shut , into their cabin
by the fire. Seine of them were pulled up through
the ventilate r, hut the gttater number could not
be extricated. ne last woman who was drawn
up said there were six .already suffocated. We
now perceived that the ship had got her head to
the wind again, so that the flames came over the
quarter-deck. -
In eon:Sequence of the crowd, I could not get
to the wheel-house to ascertain the reason, but I
was informed that the helmsmen had deserted
his post, and that the vessel being left to her
self, headed to the wind , of her own accord. At
this time the scene on the quarter deck was in
describable and truly heart-rending. Passengers
were rushing frantically to and fro--husbands
seeking their wives, wives in search of their
husbands, 'limiyes looking after relatives, mo
thers lamenting the loss of their children, some
wholly paralyzed by fear, others madly crying to
be saved ; but a fe* perfectly calm and collected.
The flames pressed so closely upon them, that
:natty jumped into the sea. Relatives clasped in
each other's anus, leaped over and met a watery
graved two girls supposed to be sisters, jumped
over and sank kissing each other. A missionary
and wife leaped into the sea together, and the
.a
ptewardess and assistant-steward arta in arm fol
lowed. One Hungarian gentleman with seven
fine children, four of them girls, made his wife
jump in, then blessed his six eldest children;
made them jump in one after the other, and fol
lowed them with an infant in his' own amts. I,
about this time was
,standing outside the - bul
warks holding on b' , the davits, loaning out to .
avoid the flaides,,,i l rOph
„ Were leaping towards
mo. I saw a swam'Ad boat under me, spinning
by a rope still attached to the ship. As the oars
were tied in het l thought if I could get to her;
I would be enabled to save myself and some
others. I let myself down by it rope passing
over a man who was clinging to it, but who re
fiNal to come with me, I took nut a penknife to
cut the tackle ; the large blade broke, and I
then severed it with the small blade. The ship
passed ahead. As the screw approached I found
the boat drawn towards it. I tried to keep the
boat off, but the screw caught and capsized her
,„
over me. I dived away from the ship and mime
to the surface near a boat which was keel up
wards. I got on her, and by pressing on one
side with the assistance of a wave she righted,
but was sti 1 swamped. The oars had Leen
knocktarout by the screw. The only thing I
could find in her to paddle with was some laths
nailed together as a. sheatk ing for the sides.—
When I look around, thilShip was a quarter of a
mile away from me. I Old see Indies and gen
tlemen jumping off the naafi into the water iu
twos and threes, soWie of the ladies in flames.—'
,
Several hesitated to leap from the burning ship
until the last moment; as the heigliL was twenty
two ati ' d were only at length mitunelled to
throw themselves elf to avoid a more painful
death. In half an hour not a soul was to be
seen eit the poop. I pulled after the ship. and
picked up a Gordian who was swimming strongly;
I got him beside inn on the boat, and we . pad_
.
died after the ship with the laths; I now sew a
vessel under sail approaching; she reached the
steamer at about SP. M.; -We continued pulling'
towards them, and about 7.1 o'clock; after being
fire hours in the water, got within hail of the

picked up two or three passengers before reach•

As I was anxious to get on British territory, Capt
TR.UPY kindly gave passage. Ile was also anx

was such a rush of _foreigners into the boats that
only one load of eleven could,te got off, and even
several of these were foreigner=.
The fire is known to have arisen from very cul
pable negligence of some of the crew. The cap

The Burning of the Austria: ~
The burning of the steamship Austria, the
full particulars of which we gave above, presents
a scene of horror and dismay that baffles all de.
description. The fearful, i iiii i ii ii tale will be
but half-told, even after till the survivero have
spoken, and much will remain a secratof dap
deep, never to be revealed. What a world of
wildest despair and maddening agony was
crowded there into the short space of a few
hours, from the first discovery of the perkl.te
last gasp of the last victim of the waves, and
among those who were savet.;:io, providentially;
how many are there not who have. _lost all they
loved and,valued most, whose earthly hopes and
prospects arc blasted, and whose lives will hence.
forth be like the desertlttitek, desolate and cheer
less ? Ship and cargo no doubt, were insured in
duo form by the prudent merchant :4 of Hamburg,
but where is indemnity to be Ratak for losses
such as those ? Full as the reports are, they
lineatc the terrors of the catastrophe, and -its
heart-rending incidents in feeble, faintest outlines
only, leaving to imagination the filling up o r
the gloomy pistfßiAlillt -in one yespint, bmir
they arc all sal stunt. There never wits a case
in which the evidence more clearly points-out
where the blame rests. The vessel was in the
hantlit,X persons utterly unqualified for the re
sponsible positions they, occupied, from the cap.
tain down to the last of. his officers. The cap
tain and his surgeon concluding to fumigate the'
steerage, when there was no disease on board ,
and while the vessel was in a high Northern
climate, and the steerage well provided
ventilators, looks very much like a work of su
perogation, such as a new-made Hamburg steam
captain and a consequential German doctor
might be guilty of. But sup,posingthst there
was a necessity of purifying the atmosphere
the Steerage, befit captain, and doctor ought to
have known that there are numerous chemical
agents more efficacious than burning tar, and
perfectly harmless. These wiseacres, however,
adopted the most dangerous process to seem
plish their object, leaving the execution to the
boatswain under the superintendence of the
fourth officer, and the stupidity and culpable
negligence of these fellows set the steerage des
on fire. A work like ,, this t. involving such im
minent dough ~e tl in a room -filled with
trunks and clothing and bedding, should have
been superin tended by the first mate, and there
should have been a sufficient number of hands in
attendance to render prompt assistance in case O .
need, the pumps should also have been ready to
play,tifMn a • given signal, and &hose at hand in
the steerage. steal iweeautions had been
taken.
When the Captain holtrA„?f the fire, he rushed
on deck withbut ti.,:dll); and when he saw the
flames, the dastardly wretch, instead of giving
orders to check the fury of the clement, to gain
time and save what lives could be saved, was
the first to jump after a boat, but fell into the
sea, - and, as is supposed, perished in the waves: .
