PROSPECTUS ALTOONA TRIBUNS THE CASH SYSTEM ADOPTED! The Cheapest Paper Id the County!' With the present number, the 7V;s«r.r has en tered upon its third volume. Commenced nt a time when the Confidence of the citizens of Al toona in newspapers and newspaper publishers was considerably shaken, if not totaily'annibila ted, it lit* slowly but surely restored that con fidence, and now stands upon a sure foundation, uad is universally acknowledged to be one of the fisod institutions of our town. But this re »uit has not been achieved without a hard strug gle, and considerable expenditure of time and moans on the part of its editors. The steady increase.of patronage, however, has afforded in dubitable evidence that their labors have been ap oiatod. ' In oatoring upon the new volume it is almost unnecessary to say that the TWiwac will coutin se to be 44 bu>EPENDja*T is Evkeythixo,” be ing biassed neither by fear, favor nor affection, in favor of parties or sects. In this respect it is only necessary to say that the past affords a fair index as to our future course. IfTtos always been our aim to make the Tri bune, a reliable firfct-cl<iss Local Paper, as we bcliese that in that character alone, country pa pers can successfully compete with their flashy city neighbors, To this end we have secured correspondents in various parts of the county, who furnish us with all the items of local inter est in their vicinity. We purpose adding others to out list as soon as wo can obtain them. Du ring the next year we shall redouble our efforts to make the Tribune a perfect compendium of JIoHE News—a reliable, first-class Local Paper,,second to none in the country, and as such a welcome weekly visitor to our patrons, whether at home or abroad. But •while the Lbcul Department shall he our special ..care, wo shall alaa devote a cousidi.ru ble space to Literary Matter, Fun and Hu mor, and the chronicling of events of general interest to our readers. AVc purpose also pub lishing from time t: time “ Original Sketches of Men and Things'” which will be furnished by our contributors. We have m»ac arrangements also to.have a weekly letter from Philadelphia, anti judging from the reputation our correspon dent sustains as a popular writer, these letters will be a rich treat to cur readers. As we are decidedly journalists of the pro gressive school, we hcivd concluded to adopt the cash .system in cur' business. The neglect of quite a number of our patrons to pay up prompt ly, dad the rascality of others, has compelled us to adopt this course, lime and experience lias fully proved to our satisfaction that the credit system ‘will not work with newspaper publishers. From this date no paper will be sent I from this oflicc, unless paid for uiadvance, and at the expiration .of the time paid for, if not renewed, will bo promptly stopped.

Postponing a Goose. I took a passage in one of the packet s Lips that run between Mobile hnd New York. She was commanded by a sharp fellow, who was interested in making the trips as profitable as possible. As a gen eral thing, a meaner table was never pro vided in a cheap boarding-house. During the passage, we were becalmed' one day on a part of the coast which was excellent fishing ground; and the captain, with the view of saving a dollar or two’ ordered the. men to get put their fishing tackle and try their luck. This, was done and a quantity of the finny tribe were soon transferred from their aqueous abode to the deck of the ship. The captain enlarged upon the delicacy of the fish, and closing by asking, ‘ what say you to a fish dinner to-day, ladies and gentlemen V Every body said, by ail means 1’ I £ 00 Attached to the ship was a negro cook called Centaur. ‘ Centaur ?’ cried the captain 4 Aye, aye, sa !’ 1 (Jbok a ipess offish for the passengers’ dinner; and d’ye hear, postpone that goose?' 4 All right sa !’ Centaur seemed troubled, and scratch ed his wool rigorously. ‘ What de mean by cooking de fish an’ postponin’ do goose’’ I ben on several voyages, if not more —I ben in big hotels an’ little hotels, man an’ boy, for eber so long if no longer dan dal ; and dis is the fust time I eber heard ob postponin’ a goose !

It must ue done dough. Wonder if Jimmy X’ucka eber heard of ii? He knows everything. Just as Centaur concluded, Jimmy and two others of the crew passed the gallery door, and the bewildered cook anxiously inquired of the oracle if he knew how to ‘ postpone a goose?’ CDe case is dis, ye see. Cap’n says to me jia now, gay he,' 1 cook a large mess ob fish for de passengers dinner to-dav an’ postpone do goose.’ Now, dat is jis wat dis here nigger can’t git through his wool, no how, what postponin' a goose is I’ ‘ Oh " said Jimmy, winking at Jus com panions, 4 that is easy enough. 1 thought every tool knowed that.’ 4 ] thought so too.’ an’ so I say to my self. ‘Jimmy Ducks’ll know.’’ ‘Well, you .sue,’ said Jim my lucking serious; ‘it isn’t a common way of cook ing a goose, but ven it is served up after fish, at the nobility's dinners, they post pone it. Now, this is the mode:—After drawin' the bird.stuft' it with a mixture of ’yd boiled eggs, chopped fine, onioas, ditto; apples ditto; biscuit pounded into bits, and portions of a fish previou-ly browned on the fire. Then put the goose into the pot, boil it for ’alf an ’our, place it in the oven, and bake it for ’alf an 'our; then put it on your spit, roast it until done and serve it with grayv.’ Centaur listened with attention, and nothing Upon the tablet of his brain all Jimmy's directions, started for the gallery highly elated. Dinner time arrived, and Centaur won honors by the style in which he iefved the fish. Dish after dish appeared; and when every one supposed the meal to be concluded, another dish was placed be fore the captain, who upon removing the cover, to his indignation, discovered the goose 1 His wrath was not to be sup pressed, and in a passion, he shouted- 1 — ‘ Send that infernal cook aft.’ Centaur entered the cabin very good humoredly, having no suspicion of, any thing wrong, and was startled by, the question— : ‘ What do you mean, scoundrel, by dis obedience of orders ?’ ‘ Beycd orders, sa; done jest what you said, ‘Obeyed orders, you rascal? Didn't I tell you to postpone the goose V ‘ Course you did,' ga; and I did it.' ‘ Bid whut?’ shouted the captain. ‘ Postponed de goose, sa, cordin’ to di rections.' : v The passenger saw the joke, and into a laugh. The captain was somewhat mortified and requested lOcntaur to ex plain himself. , I. 1 JVell, sa,’ said he, ‘you ordered me to cook de fish and postpone de goose. blow, I nebher postponed in aB my Ufe, an’ on .course didn't know nothing 'bout it ; but Jimmy Backs ’lfghtbh me on de siibjick, mr.l -e»tcfly 1 iad trouhlocuoagb ; t don’t ma4% to jpbst pone anoder no how.’ | i Everybody laughed at Centaur's ©xpla imtion, and even the ca^tamstmied. v V. he |aid, .‘and #Bnd Jimmy iDuoks J * was off in a ; twinkUog r and mIw 8 curiosity as-tb thwncyr ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1858. he had given to the cook, forgiveness only being extended to |ijm on the condition that he should eat the whole of the goose. The punishment wag not very severe, for in fifteen minutes nothing but a skeleton remained of that goose. ‘ My heyes!' was 'his exclamation when he had completed the task; ‘if that’s a postponed goose, I vish the cap’n ud ’ave one postponed every .week. The dressin’ ’owsuever, might be Waried' so us to be a Jeetle more palatable.’ A Race witli a Widow. Merciful JcLosaphat and big onions, what a time I’ve had with that widder.— We chartered an Omnibus for two, on Christmas, and started. Widder, said I, where shall be go toi? She blushed, and said she didn’t like to say. I tyid her she must sav. • i ‘ Well Jehuel, if you insist upon it, and I am to have my choice, 1 bad rather go to church.' ‘ What for, widder V said I. ‘Oh, Jehuel how can you ask me V ‘Cause I want to know/ said 4. ‘ W ell—(blushing redder than beef) —• it is such cold weather now, and the nights are so cold, and —oh, Jehuel, I can t stand it!’ ‘Oh, pshaw, widder. spit it out; what do you mean V The widow riled. She biled right over like a quart of milk on the fire, aud burst out with — ‘lfyou can’t understand me you’re a heartless brute, so you are.’ ‘ Hold your horses!’ said I. ‘What’s all this about! I’m not a brute, nor never was: and if a man called me that I’d boot him! sure.’ Aud then I biled right over, and un buttoned my coat collar to keep me from bastin' oif my buttons. The widder saw I was going to explode, or else collapse my wind pipe, and she flung her arms round my neck, and put her lips to mine, aud cooled right down. ‘Jehuel, dear!’ said she, in an insinua tin’ way, and a voice as sweet as a hand organ, ‘Jehuel, honey I wanted to go to church to get mar—no I can’t say it all. you finish the word,'jehuel, sweet.’ ‘ What word, inarm V ‘Oh, you stupid jehuel dear. I mean the word married, love.’ ’ ‘Married widder! said I, did you mean that V ‘lndeed I did Jehuel, love I’ ’ ‘Look here inarm, my name isn’t Je huel Love. nor Jehuel Dear, nor Jehuel Sweet, I’d have you to know.

And he did it. The widder jumped after us, fell into the Harlem river, and hasn’t been heard of since. Revolutionary Anecdote. The following revolutionary anecdote is related in the Virginia Illustrated. In one of Tarleton’s marauding expe ditions in the interior of Virginia, his troops stopped to breakfast at the planta tion of old Major Hardy, the father of the present squire. All those of the house hold who drew the sword were with the armies of their country, but they had by no means curried with them all their pluck and patriotism. The good lady received her visitors with so much spirit that it seemed she still con sidered her house her own. aud she still appeared to give with haughty, hospitality what her unwelcome guests would have taken as a matter of course. The officers who breakfasted in the house were awed into, respect by her manner, and her bouses aud barns were Spared a fate that betel many others. But the passage of such a troop was like the visit of the locusts of Egypt. Fodder stacks had disappeared, granaries were elliptic!, meat houses rifled, piggery and poultry yards silent as the grave. The matron contemplated the de vastation with swelling indignation. All gone —all. If tlifcy had been Washing ton s troopers she would have gloried in the same sacrifice ; but to be forced Jo feed the host of the oppressor —to give nourishment and strength to those., v, ho might soon meet her husband and suns in battle —that was hard indeed. The negroes had returned from their hiding places ami stood grouped around, with eyes fixed upon their mistress, but not daring to break the silence. Present ly an old Muscovy drake crept out from beneath the corn house where ho had tak en refuge during that reign of terror.— The sight of this solitary and now useless patriarch was the feather that broke the camel's back ; the matron’s patience gave way under it. ‘ Jack,’ she screamed, ‘ catch that duck.’ With the instinct of obedience Jack bounded upon the wheezing wadlcr. • ,\nw mount that mare; mount, instantly !’ With countenauee of ashy hue and staring eyes, Jack obeyed the order. ‘Now ride after tbe ’troopers, ride for your lift*. (Jive my compliment* to Col. lark-ton—mind, to none c’s • —the officer on the black horse —give him my compli ments and tell him your mistress savs he forgot to take that dliek.’ Away went the messenger at full speed after the retreating cohorts. ‘ Well, Jack, did you deliver that iner- ‘ Sartin, Missus.’ ‘To Col. Tarleton himself?’ ‘Sartin, Missus.’ ‘ And what did he say!’ ‘He put duck in he wallet, and say he much obliged.’ Hold Affairs. A gentleman away off in Arkansas, who had been stopping at a cross country tav ern about two weeks, writes to a friend a bout the manner in w,hich “hotel affairs” are conducted. He says: The regulations of the house are written iu u bold, round hand, and tacked on to the door of each bed-room.

ANOTHER SENSATION STORY. ■' BT C BOSSOBB, ft- CHAPTER I.—PRELIMINARY. We know a good story. It is true.' All the incidents happened very Jnuch as we shall relate. The moral b unexceptiona ble. It b about J ohn White and Susan Black. CHAPTER II -.READ 11. John White was raised on •& rough, rocky farm, in the State of Connecticut. Susan, ditto. John knew something alwut hard work. So did Susan. John had a mechanical genius. Susan had not.; A neighbor of John’s having emigrated to a smart manufacturing village in the State of New York, wrote to John that he would give him twenty dollars a month. John went. chapter iu. —marvelous. John saved his wages. His employer engaged in merchandise, and put John into the store. In process of time. Mr. Smith (for such was the name by which John’s employer was known) went to the West. John bought him out. John White became a merchant on his own account. He was reported to be worth four or! five thousand dollars. CHAPTEK IV. —THE OIE.LS. There were young ladies in those days. And beautiful, dashing damsels they Were, too. Of some half-a-dozen, it was hatd tp tell which was the belie of the town.! Cen taur it was that each strove to out-do and outshine a’ll others in the matter of gene ral accomplishment and particular bland ishments. They all sang sweetly, danced gracefully, read novels tearfully, played the piano prettily, and traded at John’s store. ‘ Mr. White,’ for thus he was ad dressed by the ladies aforesaid, waited on them personally. His clerk could ftever explain the goods satisfactorily. .john was all politeness. His very nature was to please his customers. Therein he found his advantage. j CUAPTEE V. —TIIK VISIT. John White has occasion to visis the land of his nativity. It was known all through the village that he was-to bp ab sent fur a few days. On the evening!pre ceding his departure he* was tendprpd a complimentary party. He accepted; | All the ladies who had distinguished them selves as his most faithfuhmd persevering customers wore present. They were dress ed .splendidly. They put on their sweet smiles. They wore positively charming to behold. John felt as happy as a|man can led and live. CHATTER VI.—THE RETUES John was absent just three days: ‘ He returned accompanied with a young lady. Good help was scarce, and it was known that his boarding-house keeper was great ly in need of a trusty aud industrious ser vant. John’s companion evidentlyi was not Irish. Perhaps she was a sister, or cousin, or sumo plain fanner’s daughter who had come mi a visit? John and his companion liai not been very long in the store before he was congratulated bp his safe r t arn by nearly all the marriageable females of the pljjv. He received. £hem most graciously. Indeed, he looked so happy that each supposed, when he so cordially grasped her hand (as hisj man ner was,) that he was surely in love now, if never before. John did mean isome thing, no doubt. CHAPTER VII. —THE CATASTROPHE So soon as order was restored, ; John presented his companion. ‘ Shall I have the pleasure to introduce to these jgood ladies, my friend—she that was MifeS Su san Black, now Mrs. White ?’ Some folks looked thunder-struck. All soon retired, with as little noise and confusion as ; could have been expected under the cireuxn »tances. ' • h- CHAPTER VIII. THE UPROAR. i j Hard things were said of John for the space of three jweeks. The whole village was scandalized. It was a living guamc for John to chjrow himself away. J-t Twas a disgrace to ml the people to bring'such a ‘ no better than she should be- into the place, when there were so many, twice as accomplished, and four times ns well cd, and who co uld be had for the asking. CHAPTER IX.—THE WISDISQ UP. Disappointment lurks in many What can’t be cured must bo endured It is of no use to cry for spilled milk. Though John's wife was not handsome, she was, in the language of Solomon,’ the wise man, <N a good thing.’ John apd hi# wife lived happy together, and prospered in their business. And it was not’mahy knonths after their marriage); whep the very same ladies who were so indignant at John’s choice, and who had even palled John’s wife ‘a white-washed blackbird/ became very frequent visitor te her bpase- Certain it .is that not .one of dieclincd an invitation to tea.
