E. P. RUSSELL'S   PJTEJ\T.
FEASCIS   MELLUS,
EAVINC purchased the patent right of the above
valuable invention, for the purpose of supply-
tig the counties 01 Los Angeles, San Bernardino
md San Diego, is now prepared to execute all orders with which he may be favored.
The public are aware that it lias been the study of
cientifie men, architects and builders, for many years
to discover au article for Roofing purposes, that will
withstand sudden changes of climate, be impervious
to water, and of sure protection against fire. Tbe
nventorof this ''oofiug labored many years to com-
line articles which would answer the above purpose
tnd obviate the difficulties ot rust and decay attend-
tut upon tin aud shingles, and the destruction by
Lhe sun and fros' of the various compositions us* d
for roofing. This he succeeded in doing, and now,
alter six years of the severest trial we would iuvite
the careful atteiitien ot all interested in such matters,
believing that they will be fully convinced ot its
practical value both for durability and economy, in
which respects wc believe that its equal is not at
present known. This roofing can readily be applied
to roofs of eviry description, either steep or flat, and
cau be put on over shingles or tin, being much cheaper than the first and at half the cosi ot the latter.
Two coats ol the mastic put on over an old leaky
tin roof, will ra ike it, as good as new at one-third of
the cost. In preparing this roofing a heavy drilling
or canvass is used, whieh is thoroughly saturated
with a perfectly water proof pieparathin, alter which
it receives a thick coating, upon both sides, of the
flour ol soapstone, which sets into the texture ofthe
canvass, aud gives it a firm body, making it very
elastic and durable. After the canvass, as prepared,
is put upon the roof, another coating ol mastic,which
is tbor.iii"-hly tilled with sand, is given it, making it
fireproof in every respect. By exposure, this coating becomes firm and solid, giving y„u a roof that
cau be walked upon with perfect impunity, and as
durable as an> thing known; and we do most candidlv
and unhesitatingly believe, far superior to anything
ot the ki d yet discovered ; and alter a severe !est
ot many years, .-tand as reliable aud good as when
first, put on. without change or decay. All that we
ask is, that a ■arelul examination may be given it,
and we feel convinced tbat it will bear all the recommendation which we offer of it. Annexed we give
vou the names of some oftbe parsons using this
roofing, and to whom we are at lib« ty to refer:

Washixuton.  March   20.—Official   information
will go out in tc-morrow's Pacific mail of tlie rati*
ficntion of the new treaties witb  the Indians in
Oregon and Washington.    As thia took place during the late extraordinary session ol the Senate,
after  Congress had  adjourned, uo  appropriation
could  be made to carry them into immediate effect.   It was mainly owing to the explanations of
Gen. Lane that these ireaties were ratified, that
gentleman having convinced his brother Senators
that tbey would tend to a permanent peace.    He
bad the effective support of Senator Gwin and Es-
Govemor Stevens in his persevering * Iforts.
By these treaties the title to fifty million acres
f land will be  extinguished at a cost to this Go
eminent of 3£ cents per acre.   Ou that occasion
resolution was passed almost unanimously,  pro-
iuing tbat hereafter when it is proposed to buy
Indian lauds, tbe Senate shall first be consulted
before entering into treaty stipulations.
Should it be found impracticable to make ar-
langemeBta by which the mail service can be performed by meansofceriificat.es, and should it be
decided between now and the 26th inst. to call an
extra session of Congress, a telegraphic dispatch

The Hon. BtBJStt "W'alsli Killed.
Bloody ruotOBd wore rife yesterday in eonuection
with the sudden  and  violent death   of the Hou.
Mike Walsh.   About 5 o'clock io the mornini-, the
wartn but lifeless body of Mr. Walsh was found by
Policeman Courtney ofthe Sixteenth Precinct, ly'
ing at the  foot  of a  steep   iiigbt  of s^onc steps
loading to a basement, under tbe millinery store,
No. 13S Eighth avenue.   The Officer had passed
that Wiiy balf an hour before, but did uot see any
person there.    The Bteps aie eight in number, and
unusually steep.   On the sides they are guarded
by railings, but at tbe   irout there   is  no rail nor
guard, and as tbey cut into the sidewalk some
what deeply,  they  are rather dang-.roua.   Auy
person who might happen to  stumble near th
could uot save himself from  a fall of a! lea.sl ten
feet.   The bottom step is within  eight iuihcs ot
tbe door.   It was upon this that the head ofthe
deceased rested, face up. his body lying with  his
feet elevated toward the sircet.    A  small pool ol
blood wliich had flowed from a slight scalp wound
in the back of the besd, lay upou the lowest step.
When we state tbat Mr. Walsh had been out until a late hour in  the  morning, indulging rather
freely, and that when his friend Mr. Geo. Wilkes
and he left the Hone House, at 2 a.m.. with tbe
avowed intention of going home forthwith, he was
quite under the influence of liquor, it would strike
one as most probable that while staggering homeward, he bad stumbled, aod fallen down tbe cellar
way, where he was   found, and died there of congestion.   This would appear to be the most probable theory, aud it is sustained by the medical tee-
timony.   Doubtless the Ial] stnuned him, if it did
not produce concussion ofthe brain, leaving him
helpless; and being a man of lull habit, a noted
boil vivant, and at the time ofthe fall quite tipsy
—from tbe position iu whieL he lay, head down,
ward, it would not strain the imagination to suppose that under such circumstances he died of congestion of the brain.
But the body ie found stripped of its valuables-
A costly gold watch, the gift of (he widow ol Geo.
Steers a heavy gold chain, the diamond ring worn
n the lelt hand, and all the money, aav? a few
coppers in the pockeis, are missing. What Ghoul
has stripped tbe dead? Were thet-fl article") sfolen
before or after death ? Was the helpless inebriate
hurled down the abyss by some ruffian hand for
plunder ? These are questions which gag _■".-:
themselves very unpleasantly, and throw a vail of
mystery over the melancholy aflair, that !a cer
tainlyjperplexing as well aa painful. Joseph Tlocb
bar, wbo left him in his cups at the Hone House,
at 2 o'clock in tbe morning, says he often asked
Walsh if he was not afraid to go home po lat
while under the influence ul  liquors.   He repllei

The eruption nf Mamm Loa still continued", and
had been visited by large numbers of persons, including many ladies. Iu grandeur and beauty,
says the Advertiser, no eruption within the memory of men now living can compare with the
present. It difiers from most previous ones in the
fountain-like manner la which the lava is ejected
from two hundred to five hundred feet. It in
seldom that eruptions occur combining a great
Uow ot lava with such a lofty spouting. That of
1852 is the only exception.
The Oeatek of Ku.iNEA.—This crater, aa we
learn from travelers, bas, since the present eruption began, been quite active, and is now an object well worth visiting. It is somewhat singular
tbat the lava does not rise and overflow iu it while
it is raised several thousand feet higher in the*
central craters of Maun a Loa. lt would seem
that Kilanea is but remotely connected with the
shaft, that is uow sending out lava.
