COM POSITION ROOFING,
HARRISBURG, PA.,
D ESPECTFULLY inform the citizens of Ear
risburg, Reading,. Lancaster, Lebanon, and
their vicinities, that we are prepared to put on
roofs on most liberal terms, and at the shortest
notice.
We respectfully call the attention of persons a
bout to build, to our invaluable method of roofing,
now much used throughout the principal cities of
the United States and their vicinities. This mode
of roofing having all the combined requisites of
cheapness, Durability, and Security against Fire
and Water, and dispensing with high gable walls;
the roofs require an inclination Lf not ni.'e than
three-quarters (4) of an inch to the foot, and in
many cases 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 up at almost half the cost of either
Tin, Slate, or Shingles. abe material being of

AN APPENINE ADVENTURE,
While stopping. id Menace, at the "Gesso. del
Bello," my companion . and guide was James L.
„Grover, an AmeriCan painter of some note,
whom I had knoVeti.'Well in the land of his na
tivity. It was Sunday evening, and on the fol
lowing day I was to start for Bologna. Grover
and myself sat upon nue of the blelconies of our
chamber, engaged in conversation over our ci
gars, and after we talked awhile of the various
things we had seen i during the day; tie asked me
if he had aver told4tne - ot his adventaile , ,,among
the Appenines. rtold him I had,,ne'Ver-beard it.
"Then I must tell it to you," he said, tbrpw in g
away his cigar, and, taking a sip of wine.,
I lighted a fresh Cigar, and he related•to me as
follows;
"Four years ago this'summer, my brother and
two sisters visited we here in Florence. They ,
spent two weeks with me, and then started for
Venice, by way of Bologna, where they had
friends whom they : w r ere anxious to see. I should
have gone with theth bad I not Amen engaged up
on a work which I had protniaid to have done
within a given time; but as it was, we made the
thing work very Well, for my nrothar expected
two thousand dollars by the hands of as friend
who was shortly expected from Rom.., and it was
arranged that I should take the money when it
came, and bring it .Vrith um to Venice when I got
ready, to meet thew Otero. My brother left the
necessary document for the obtains of the money,
and in due time I set out.
t the very next day I was taken ill, and
was confined to my bed a week, but I got out and
finished my work just as my friend arrived front
'Route with the money. Ile delivered it into my
hands upon the productipn of my brother's writ
ten instruction, and I set the next Monday as the
day on which I would start. I was really not
fit to undertake such a journoy, but I could not
miss seeing nargintkra once more before they re
turned hotne. IcoOtt have sent the money easi
ly enough, b. t I promised myself too much pleas
ure with my dear relatives in Venice to miss it
now.
' "Monday morning came, and I could not arise
from bed without assistance. A sort of neuralgic
affection had seized all my nerves, and I was forc
ed to stay in deers, and to resotttu hot baths and
medicine. But on the following morning I felt
able to start, and I did so. Upon reaching Pis
tojn, I learned that thud was no diligence to leave
before next day. I could not stand this. I was
already behind my time, and if the thing could
he accomplished I must go on. There was a dil
igence under the shed, but no one to drive it.—
'But can't we have some one ?' I asked. 'lf Sig
nor will pay,' was the laconic reply. Of course
I would pay.; and though the sum charged was a
pretty round one, yet r did not:hesitate. The
lumbering vehicle was dragged out; four misera
ble looking horses were attached, and then a yoke
of stout oxen hitched on ahead of them. Two
rough looking fellows were provided, one as a
retturino (postillion,) and the other to drive the
oxen. Thus provided, I took my seat, and the
diligence started.
We were to eross the Aimoulues by the pass of
La Conioa, and just began to ascend the rugged
mountain .path when I heard a loud hallooing be
hind, and in a moment the diligence stopped.
"What's the matter?" I ashek poking my head
out through the opening by my side.
"Two men want to rhle," returned the vottn rino
"But I hired the diligence, and am in n hurry;
so drive off: If they wish to ride they must wait
until to-numrow."
But the drivers were not to be governed thus
"It won't make a bit of difference," they said.
"We'll go just as fast; and besides they'll pay us
something."
By this time the cause of all.the trouble made
its appearance in the shape of two dark-visaged,
black-bearded, powerful men, who looked ugly
enough fur the incarnation of murder. I recog-
nized one of them as m. fellow whom I had seen
hanging about the bottll at Florenre. and the oth
er I was confident I Mk caught a glimpse of just
as the diligence left the pard at Pistoje.
I was upon the point of speaking when the
thought occurred to me that I find better keep my
knowledge Of the Italian language to myself. I
might find' out the character of the fellows thus.
I knew very well that further remonstrance
would be useless, for the drivers ,were stupidly
hoggish, and the new applicants were clearly not
men to he argued w ith. The door was 2pened,
and the follows entered. I occupied the back seat,
and they took the seat at the other end, fixing
themselves so as to face me. They looked at me
out of wicked oyes, and as they threw back their
short cloaks I saw that they were well armed.
"Hope we don't trouble you?" said ono of them
in coarse Italian, as the diligence started on.
I gazed inquiringly into his face, but made no
reply.
He repeated the remark.
"No comprehend, Signor," said I shaking my
head.
"Ah—Englese?" he suggested with a shrug of
his shoulders.
"No—lrish," I told him.
"Ugh l" be grunted, with another shrug of his
broad massive shoulders, with an awful scowl of
tho fr.ce..
We had now begun to ascend the mountain in
good earnest, and our pace was slow and lumber
ing. The fellow who drove the oxen made noise
enough for an army, while the blows upon both
oxen and horses felt hard and thick witheut ac
complishing anything. Dad I been alone I might
have enjoyed the magnificent scenery which un
folded itself below at , we crept up the Conine.;
but as I was I could not think of anything save
the two men who forced themselves upon me.—
Pretty soon one of them spoke, and though I ap
peared not to notice them, yet I could see that
they were watching me closely.
"Death and destruction 1" he uttered in his own
tongue, "wo shall be over the precipice if that
drunkendriver is not careful!".
I read the fellow's purpose 'in a moment, and
not a movement , betrayed my understanding of
what he said. My eyes were half closed, and to
all appearances I was unconscious even of their
presence.
"fle's right. Ile don't understand usr said
one or them.
"All safe," returned the other
After this they conversed tagether quite freely,
and I was not long in having my worst fears re.
Mined: But not a change could they detect in
my countenance. I kept my knowledge as secret
as the very grave' ) anal all My lading was within
me. After a while they became satisfied that I
knew nothing of their language, and they be
came more bold in their speech, and talked their
plan all over; and from them I learned the fol
lowing highly interesting particulars:
Tho Ono whom I had seen in Florence bad,
by acme, means, learned-that was to carry
large sum of money with me erosS, the mountains,
and be had come on td Pistoja, where his confed
erate was, to await my arrival, intending to rob
inc there, if possible. But when.they found that
I was to go alone in diligence, they bad a better
plan. They would rob moon the mountain:: The
two. drivers were frieddi of theirs; Mid were to be
payed liberally-for allowing themselves to be over
'come: The .villians talked about cutting my
throat; shooting Me through the head, or plung-i
ing a knife to my heart, and then throwing me
over the precipice, as coolly as though they had
been plauqfng thedeath ef a fowl for dinner!—
The pinee where they were to murder me was'
about a mile distant, where the-road wound round
a high crag, with en almost perpendicular wall of
rock upon one hand, a deep chasm on the other.
This was an interesting po • ition;.Sure enough.
I was weak—weak at hest—butdotibly weak now
with my illness—and the only weapon I had was
a single pistol. Either of the brigands could
haVethrown me over his. head with ease, and as
for fighting with them; that was out of the gees
tiom What could Ido ? Both drivers were in
league withiliein. If I leaped from the diligence
I should iiie on the spot where I landed. If I
shot one of the bandits, the other would annihi
late me in:a moment. I bad the gold in,a small
traveling bag under my feet, and as the heavy
carriages jolted over the stones, the yellow pieces
jingled sharply, and I could see the eyes of the
villians sparkle like stars.
At length the high craggy peak was in sight,
and I could see where the road would abruptly
round it. Thus far I . 'had been torturing my
brains to invent some way of escape, but without
effect. I was as thoroughly hedged in as though
bound by iron chains. And in a few minutes all .
would be over ! Still I felt for my pistol and bad
it ready.
Presently the diligence stopped at the foot of
an abrupt rise. and the fellow who drove the oxen
come and told the baudits they must get out and
walk up..
,They stepped out At once, and in a mo
ment I heard a slight scuffle. I looked out just
in time to see both the drivers lashed together by
the arms, back to back. They must have been
placed ready for the operation, for the thing had
been done with incredible quickness. I drew my
pistol, and awaited the result. My heart was in
mouth, lad the intenie excitktrient rendered
me strong for the while.
In a few seconds one of the villians came and
poked the muzzle of a huge pistol into my face.
Wad Gold!" he said, "Give 'no gold or'die
It was but the Work of a second to knock his
weapon down with my left hand, while with my
right I brought up my own pistol and fired. The
ball entered between the eyes, and ho reeledba.ck
and fell. Then I leaped after him; for I saw his
companion coming up on the other side. I hop
ed to gain the dead man's pistol, but ere I could
do so the heavy hand of the living bandit was
upon my shoulder, and his pistol aimed at my
head. With an energy which the presence of
death can alone beget, I knocked his • weapon
down, and grappled with him. lie hurled me to
the ground as though I had been a child; but be
fore he could follow up his adVantage, the postil
lion erica. cut
"Bold, Alarm) a vettura is coming !"
The robber turned, and in a moment more a
hear; rettura, with four horses attached, came
round the corner full upon us. I started to my
feet, and saw my brother looking from the win
dow.
Help ! Robbers!". I shouted with all my
might:
The handit bad taken aim at the veturino of
the new team, but he was too late. My brother
bad comprehended the whole truth in a moment,
and with a sure aim and a quick one too, he shot
the villian through the heart.
"We secured my two drivein, and the matters
were quickly explained. I told my brother all
that had happened, and ht. then, told me he had
hoard of my illness, and was coming back to see
me. One of my sisters had been ill at Bologna,
so that they had not yet gone to Venice, but were
waiting until I should be able to join them. You
can imagine how deep our gratitude was, and hew
fervently wo blessed God for this fortunate in
terposition. My joy seemed to lift me from the
pain I had suffered, and I felt better than I had
felt for weeks.
"And what should we do next? Should we let
the 'two rascally drivers go, and turn about fur
BolOgna ?"
"No," said my-brother. -"Our sisters won't ex
pect us far three clays ;,'so we'll carry these vil
liens back and give them up, and to-morrow we'll
go over in my vettura."
We tumbled the two dead bodies into the dili
gence, nod then bound the two drivers hoed and
foot, and,tumbled them in after. The oxen were
cast adrift, and my brother's vetturino mounted
and started the heavy team _heck, while we 're
sumed the control of the vottura oursclves.
The drive down the mountain was quickly per
formed; and the city of Pistoje was reached with
out mishap. TIM two dead men recognized as
idd offenders at once, and my testimony very
quickly settled the business for the drivers. On
the next night we were in Bologna, where my
sisters received me with open arms, and two days
afterward we were all in Venice.
So much for my trip across the Appenines.—
And let, me say to you; if you ever have occa
sion to hire a speeinl diligence, with strange driv
ers, to ride over the mountains of. Italy, be sure
that you are well armed,.and have a trusty friend
with you, if possible.
TWO WAYS OF CORRECTING
A FAULT.
"Well, Sarah, I declare ! you are the worst girl
that I know of in the whole country !" •
"Why, mother ! what have I done!"
"See there I how you have spilled water in my
pantry! Get out of my sight; I cannot bear to
look upon you—you careless girl !"
"Well, mother! I couldn't help it."
Mre. A., the mother, is a retry worthy woman,
but very ignorant of the art of family govern
.ment, Sarah, her daughter, is a heedless girl of
about ten years old. She is very much accustom
ed to remove things out of proper places, and sel
dom slops to put them in again. On the occa
sion referred to &belie, she had been sent to put
water into the tee-kettle; and had very carelessly
spilled a considerable portion on the:pantry door.
After the abovo conversation, which •on the part
WIIOLE NO. 489.
of the mother, sounded almost like successive
claps of thunder , on the cars of her daughter,
Sarah escaped, in la pouting manner, into an ad
joining room, and Ler mother wiped up the slop,
in the pantry.
Well, thought I, my dear Mrs. A., if that is
the way yort,treat your daughter, you .w ill proba
bly find it neeessary to wipe after her' a great
Many times more, if you both live. Such family
goti , ermnent as here set forth, seems to the to be
liable to several Wrietts objections.
The reproof was:too'beisterous. Children can
never be frightened into a knowledge of error, or
into'conrictiou of crime. It is their judgement,
, and their twin thicatness rind order, which need
training, and net their retire.
It.wes too unreasonable. The child was, in-
deed careless; bat she had done nothing to merit
the title - nf wo alrl in the country." Children
ore sensible of injustice, nnii.' : vet:ysoon' find' it
difficult to respect those•who unjustly treat them.
It,tisas,too passionate, The mother seemed to
be boiling over with displeasure and disgust . ; and
under this excitetnent, she despii:ed . her darling
child; the very same that in a short tiMe after
ward, when, the storm hail blown by; eke was ready
to embrace in her arms as.almost the very im
age of perfection.
It was inefficient. Sarah retired under the idea
that her mother was excited for a very Hula thing,
which she could not help. Thus she blamed her
mother and acquitted herself.
Mrs. B. is another mother in the same neigh
borhood. Mrs. A, wonders why Mrs. B, has such
very good children. Says Mrs. A., "I talk a
great deal more to my children than Mrs. 8., does.
I frequently scold them most severely, and I
sometimes whip them until I think they will new.
er disobey me again ! And yet, how noisy, care
less and disobedient my children are! Mrs. 8.,
says but little to her children, and yet her family
moves like clock work. Order, neatness and bai . -
'mony abound, and I never heard of her whip
ping them at all."
'Tis even so ! And I should like to tell Mrs.
A., the great cause of her failure: She has not
yet learned to govern herself, and it is not, there
fore, siiiirisiiirthat her family is poorly govern
ed. • ,•
Mrs. 8.,-has al daughter, Catharine, about the
same nge with the daughter of Mrs. A. Nothing
since Catharine committed, in a hurry, the same
act of carelessness as above related, and Mrs. B's
treatment of it reveals her secret of family gov
ernment.
`Catharine, my daughter, nun you tell me how
this water come on the floor?"
"I ruppotte, matter, I must bare spilled it a few
moments ago, when I filled the tea kettle."
"Why did you not wipe it up, my daughter?"
"I intended to return and do so ; but. getting
engaged on something else, I forgot it.'!
"Well, my daughter, when you do wrong, you
should try to repair it to the best ofyour ability,
and as soon as possible. Get the mop and wipe
it up, and try not to'do so again."
Catharine immediately doeS as she is bid, re
marking: . . '
"I will try to be more careful unotheiliele."
Mrs. .A tuay be found in - almost every comma
n:ty. Mrs..B., though, perhaps., a mere rare per
sonage, yet graces many families in our land.
A MONKEY BRIDGE,
"They are coining towards the bridge; they'll
most likely cross by the rocks yonder," observed
P notil,
"Ilow--vwitn it?" I asked. "It is a torrent
here !
"O'h no!" answered the Frenchman, monk-ys
would rather go into the fire than water. If they
cannot leap the stream, they will bridge it.
"Bridgo it !.!tnd how?"
"Stop a moment, Captain, you shall see. r ."
The half-human voice now sounded noarer, and
we afield perceive that the animals were approach
ing the Eliot where we lay. Presently they ap
peared upon the opposite bank, IMaded by an old
grey chieftain and officered like so many soldiers.
They were, as Raoul stated, of the amadeja or
ring-tailed tribe.
Ont—an aid-de-camp, or chief pioneer, per
haps—ran out upon a projecting reek, and, after
looking acreatr,the stream, as if calculating the
distance, scampered back, and appeared - to com
municate with theleader. This 'produced a Move.
1, meet. in the troop. Commands were issued, and
fatigue parties were detailed„ and marched to the
front. Mean While several of the comadrejns—
engineers, no doubt—ran along the hank, exam
ining the trees on both sides of the stream.
At length:they were nl! collected around a tall
cotton-wood,,that grew over the narrowest part of
stream, and twenty or thirty of them , scampered
up its trunk. On reaching a high point, the fore
vilest, a strong fellow, ran out upon a limb, and
twined his tail several times around it, slipped off,
and hung head downwards. The next on the
limb, also stout one, climbed down the body of
Brst, and whipping his tail tightly around the
neck and forearm of the latter, dropped off in his
turn, and hung head down. The third repeated
this tnanceever upon the second, and the fourth
upon the third, and so on, until the last one
on the string rested his forepaws on the ground.
The living chain now commenced swinging
backwards and forwards like the pendulum of a
clock. The motion was slight at first, but gradu.
ally increased, the lowermost monkey striking his
hands violently on the earth every time he pass.
ed. Several other upon the limb above aided the
movement.
This continued until the monkey at the end of
the cbain was thrown among the branches of a
tree on the opposite bank. Here, after two or
three vibrations. he clutched a lituh, and held
fast. This movement was adroitly executed, just
at the highest point of the swing, in order to gave
the intermediate links from the violence of a too
sudden jerk.
The chain wag now fast atiboth ends, farming, a
complete suspension bridge; over whirl the
whole troop, to the number of four or five hun
dred, passed With rapidity of thought.
It was one of the me:5V comical sights I ever
beheld, to witness the quizzieal _expression of
countenance along the chain.
The troop was now on the'other side. but how
were the animals forming the bridge to get them
selves over? This was the question that sugges
ted itself. Manifestly, by number one letting
go his tail. But then the point of support nn the
other side was lunch lower down, and number
one, with a half dozen of his neighbors, Would he
dashed against the opposite hank, or soused head
first into the water.
. .
flare, then, was a problem, and we waited with
some curiosity for its solution. It was solved.--
A monkey was now seen attaching his tail to one
forming the bridge, and consequently the one
hung the lowest. Another girded him in a simi
lar manner, and another, and so on until a doz
en more were added to the , string. These last
'were all powerful fellows; and running up to a
big limb, with a strong effortthey lifted the bridge
into a position almost horizontal.
Then a scream i tretn the last monlitay,of.,Asi
new formation ` Warned' the' taii2end tliat,alt,was
ready, and the next moment the wholnithaintirat
wung over, and landed safely on thi‘upposite

STARVING A SNAKE OUT 01
A MAN'S STOMACH.
The fellow - mg singular story is tote. of a man
named Beached, who had stv flowed a snake in
Michigan :—Fur the past seventeen years the suf
ferer has been satisfied that there was a living ani
mal of seine kind in his stomach. If he drank
liquor the animal would seem in heroine drunk,
This he judged from the fact that it remained
perfectly quiet until the effects of the spirits wore
off: At times, when he partook of fond offensive
to the animal, it would become agitated and roll
;Ain't with a motion which weal I be r-llt by plac
ing the hand upon the stionlah.
Having tried way physicians, Beach was in
duced to apply to a German doctor, who recom
mended the p rove s, of starving the intro-ler out.
This advice was adopted, and the patient acced
ed in inducing the animal to (-owe on liis throat,
but for fear of strangulation lie swallowed vine
gar and drove it back. For fair MfattliF means
were tried to relieve the man's throat of its un
welcome guest, and finally, on Friday of last
week, he passed an entire snake, measuring just
three feet in length, It was s.mewhat decom
posed, and had evidenlly lost four or five inches
of its tail,
As to its original size. our erarespondent can
not determine. Its head measured crosswise just
one inch and a quarter. Its teeth were about one
