SCISSORS.
—lt ia stated that pickpockets re
lieved General Grant of his watch, and
Speaker Colfax of his purse at General
Scott’s funeral.
—There is something exquisite in
l our countryman’s reply to the European
| traveller, when he asked him whether
;he had just crossed the Alps. “Wal,
I now you call my attention to the fact, I
! guess I did pass risin’ ground.”
' —A serious proposition has been
made to Head Centre Stephens, to
unite with Santa Anna, for the purpose
|of founding an Irish Republic in Mex
ico. The Canada corollaries are lo be
solved before the original proposition is
demonstrated.
—A gigantic cotton factory, called
the ‘‘Manassas” manufactory, has been
built at Carrollton, Miss. It contains
180,000 spindles, 1,800 looms, and goes
into operation July Ist. The stock now
stands 15 per cent, above par.
—One Johu M. Dugnal publishes a
volume of blank verse with the pretty
title of “Daisy Swan,” which for origi
nality and delicacy of diction beats
Walter Whitman hollow. Athol, the
hero, heroically declares—
“ We’ll yet lower the pride of
That pusillanimous puke !"
A style of verse which the Albany
Argus calls “the true epic, or rather
epic-ac /”
—“Rould aisy, Mike,” said one of
two Irish pedestrians, as he approached
a milestone. “Thread lightly,” said he,
“for here lies an ould man.” Pat care
fully spelled out the inscription, “Balti
more 154 miles,” and then continued,
“He was 154 years onld, and his name
was Miles, from Baltimore.”
—The Portland Argus says that
Captain J. J. Boyd has secured a patent
which will make a complete revolution
in applying buttons to garments. By
this invention buttons can be attached
to any part of wearing apparel without
the use of thread. The invention con
sists solely in making the button with a
wire, to be inserted into the cloth like a
cork-screw, and then pressed down flat,
so as to form a riug, to hold the button
iu place.
Death of Col. Samuel Buffington.
—We learn that this event took place
at his residence in St, Augustine, on
Friday, the Ist inst., and on Sunday
afternoon he received interment from
the hands of the Masonic Fraternity.
Few men in Florida, perhaps, are more
generally known to her people than
Colonel Buffington, among whom he
had a ho3t of friends. He moved to
this city from Milledgeville, Ga., many
years ago, and established the House
which bore his name, and betaine at
once distinguish and for his genial char
acter, and libera! public spirit, laying
the foundation for that personal pop
ularity which early after bore him to the
Legislature of the State as a Represen
tative from Duval county. The unfor
tunate fire of 1859, which destroyed his
large aud popular hotel, determined his
removal to St Augustine, and lost to
this city an enterprising and worthy
citizen, whose presence and enterprise
have been since seriously felt by this
community. We have not been able to
learn any of the particulars of his death.
He had attained the meridian of life,
and from the apparent enjoyment of
high health, he Las been thus suddenly
called to a higher lodge by the Supreme
Master, where he will enjoy perpetual
rest from his labors. Ho leaves a
worthy family who have our unaffected
sympathies. —Jacksonville [Fla.) Union,

Roofing.
LOOK TO YOUR ROOFS.
Having secured the state
RIGHT OF THE
EXTENT MICA ROOFING,
Wo are now prepared to supply it in any
quantity, or to appiv it to Roofs.
The MICA ROOFING is adapted to build
ings of every descr prion, and can be ap
plied to Steep or Flat Roofs, or over old
Shingle Roofs, without removing the shin
gles. Wo recommend its use on Factories,
Foundries, Store J'ouses, Cotton Sheds,
Radroad Depots and upon all buildings
where steam is used, and a Fire Proof re
quired.
It costs about one-half the price of
Tin.
It is cheap, durable, and is easily and
quickly applied. The upper surface *of the
Roofing is protected fr**m the action of tho
weather, by its covering of Ground Mica,
which is pressed into the water proof com
position, making a hard surface of stone,
benutiful in appearance, aud a sure protec
tion against fire.
W»* shall also keep constantly on band a
supply of
INDIA RUBBER ROOFING PAINT,
which is the best coating that can be used
for Tin Roofing. Leaky Tin Roofs can be
readily repaired, so as to last many years,
at a trifling cost, which would in many
eases save the expense of anew Roof.
Full directionv for applying, and prices,
sent on application.
