Injured. Wc havo been informed that
Toster Davis, of Fergursou township, had his
leg mashed, one day week beforo last, by a
timber stick falling on it, in consequenco of
the chain breaking.
A. M. Hitr.8 desires to notify his friends and'
Matrons that he will be in his office in Clear
field, (opposite the Clearfield ? House,) until
artef the June Court, with tho exception of
the second week in May. Persons desiring

JiARX-BcExr. On the afternoon of the 5th
insf, tho barn of Mr. Th-omas Dougherty, ; in
i'enn township, was destroyed by fire. Mr, D.
had taken his horses out to do some hauling
to the Kivcr, and cannot conjecture how the
fire originated. A quantity ot gram was
burned with the' building. The loss will not
f xcced $200 or 300,as the barn Was a rather
poorone. -'---.
Mas Killed. On last Friday, the 9th inst
Mr. Gould Wilson, of Huston township, was
instantly kiled whilst putting logs. into Sin
liemahoninjr creek, near his home. It seems
the logs were pilled up, and as he was in the
act of walking by three ot them rolled off the
pile, and passing over him, caused his death.
lie was about 30 years of age, and leaves
wife and several children to mourn his prema
ture end.
Accidext. We learn that on last Thursday,
the 7th inst., Mr. Thomas II. Forcey, of ("ra-
haoiton, this county, whilst attempting to
"snub" a raft at Moore's landing, was in some
manner caught by the rope and thrown with
sue!) violence as to render him senseless for a
considereable length of time, ami severely in
jured his legs, lie was taken to Moore's
house and restoratives and remedies applied,
which had the effect of restoring conscious
ness and alleviating his injuries.
The Weather,' etc. The air has become
quite mild again,- and, from present indica
tions, will have some rain in n few days. The
river is low and will require a good deal of
rain to make a rafting stage. Sonic little
work is going on, on the river banks, in tho
way of loading shingles and sawed funiber ;
but, persons generally, feel somew hat tardy
about running timber at this time, on account
of the tightness of money matters. All be
K ve, however, that, by tho time there is water
enough to run, money will become more plen
ty, and that timber will command rename ra
ting prices, in the markets below.
The LrMiiKit Trade. The Lock Haven
Watchman, of March 7th, says :
Some few raits have arrived at this place
en their way to market, but we havo leirned
nf no sales being made, consequently we can
not give the price of lumber. Holders are
usVing from 8 to '1' cents per cubic loot for
good white pine. From below we learn that
"ho milis have commenced running on full
-time, and that the lumber business opens
hiiskly." ' .
Th? above indicates, a good price; but,
presumu, that prices will depend a great
'cal on the aii.uiint of timber that will reach
:t destination, and the state of the money
market at th.it time.
. A Wail from Florida. The Ponsacola Ob-T-rrer
already raises a piteous wail for Florida.
Governor Perry, according to the Observer,
!uis ticated a certain gallant Company by the
.'Mine of the Kifle Rangers, most shamefully.
They have, it serns, been in t'actirc service"
ii.iCe the 12th of January, without relief, with
out arms, and with nothing to cat but snlt pork
and' hard biscuit, which they had stolen Itoiyi
I'iicle Sam's soldiers. And sixty Manard li
lies which they have been long waiting for,
came at last, but Gov. Perry went right away
and gnrve Them t-a a rival company. If they
had disbanded at otjee," ays the Observer,
"every right:thinking perscn would have sus
tained their action." If they, had staid at
i'oinc and not banded at all, every right-thinking
person would have called them sensible
men. Bnt the most piteous wail of the Obser-
n is as follows : ' .
"Florida will soon be called upon to furnish
her quota of men for the regular army of the
Southern Confederacy, this quota has been
I nt down at 1,000 men. With an empty treas
ury, we cannot imagine how she can enlist,
'ip and arm this number. If our Slate is
bankrupt at this early stage of the action, we
t.urilc the sooner she sells out the better. If
'He State Government cannot bo carried on for
want of funds, let Florida be dividel between
"ir tsister States of Georgia and Alabama, by
i!:t ;ne of ihe Chattahooche river. The soon-
this is Sone Lbo better, for to this it must
corne at last.""

A Card to the Suffering. The Rev. William
Cosgrove. while laboring as a missionary in Japan,
was cured of Consumption, when all other means
had failed, by a recipe obtained from a learned
physician residing in the great city of Jeddo.
This recipe has cured great numbers who were suf
ering frton Consumption, Bronchitis, Sora Throat,
Coughs and Colds, and the debility and nervous
depression caused by these disorders. Desirous
of benefitting others, I will send this recipe, wh ich
I hare brought homo with me, to all who need it,

Evacuation of Sumter
EFFECT OF DELAYING EEINF0RCEMENTS !
CONSEQUENCES OF PU ESI DENT BU
CHANAN'S POLICY !
Washington, March 11th, 1S61.
MAJOR ANDERSON THE CABINET-FORT SUMTER.
"An official letter from Major Anderson, re
ceived on Saturday, says he had only fifteen
days subsistence and wood on hand. The
question has therefore arisen with the Ad
ministration w hother reinforcements shall be
attempted, or the fort abandoned. The latter
course, it is thought, will be adopted, from
inevitable necessity, by the advice of Lieut.
General Scott.
MKETING OF THE CABINET.
The Administration has not yet determined
its policy concerning Fort Sumter, although
it was discussed in Cabinet on Saturday night
and yesterday, (Sunday). Major Anderson
must either be reinforced or withdrawn; the
first proposition involves a war. Mr. Bu
chanan left this complication purposely in its
present position.
? REPORTED EVACUATION 'OF FORT- SCMTER
The latest advices are that Fort Sum tor will-
be evacuated by the' United States forces.
The question is wholly a military one, and
must be decided on military ground.
We arc not enabled to judge, at this time,
of the truth of the report, and therefore feel
disposed to await further advices. There is
one tiling certain, if Mr. Lincoln withdraws
Major Anderson from, his present position,.it
will be lor the most weighty reasons. As Mr.
Holt admits, the responsibility for such a
course would rest on the previous administra
tion rather than on the present. Buchanan
permitted the South Carolinians to go on in
building fortifications around the harbor, with
out molestation, lor more than five months.
If he had asercised his authority at tho prop
er time, Fort Sumter would now be prepared
to wif?tand a protracted siege, while to rein
force it at the present will certainly involve a
great amount of bloodshed.. The question of
reinforcement, therefore, is a much graver
one now than it was several months ago, when
it couldjiavo been accomplished without se
rious opposition. It appears that Gen. Scott
now opposes the movement as earnestly as he
advocated it last winter, and if Mr. Lincoln
has resolved on the course suggested by the
Washington advices, we presume it is through
tho persuasion cf that eminent and patriotic
military chieftain. .. .
Reverence for tiie.oi,d,Fi.ao. -There was
an af'ectiugr scene at San Antonio, Texas, as
the United States troops marched . out of the
city, which is thus described by The Alamo
Express: "A large concourse of citizens bad
collected to bid the troops of war good-by,
nnd when the two companies, under the com
mand of Major .Smith and Captain King,,
marched out with colors flying and band play
ing the national airs, and tho old bullet-riddled
and war-stained banner of the 8th Kegiment
floating in .the breeze, there was a most pro-
iO tod sens'it'On among the people; strong
man wept. W have never seen so much fee
ling evinced on any occasion. The peoplo
cheered the troops all along the streets, and
many followed them to the, head of the San
Fedro, where they encamped."
A Slaver Converted into a War Vgssel.
The Savannah News learns, that the slave
brig Houita bus been taken in chaige by Gov.
Brown, and a detachment from the UoasiGuard
put on board of her. She will be thoroughly
armed, and take her place lor the protection
of the coast. The Bonit a was captured some
time since on the coast of Africa as a slaver,
ati d taken to Charleston) but there being no
United States Court, she was brought to Sa
vannah, and lias teen there since.

rg-lIIE TRIHUNK FOR 1 801PRo"sPKT.
-EL TL'S. The XXth Yotnmc of the Weekly Tri
bune commenced with tbo Issue of Sept. I. Dur
ing the past year The Tribune has twin obliged to
devote quite a large proportion of its space to pol
itics, but we shall Soon be able to forego Political
discussions almost entirely, for months if not for
years, and devote nearly nil our columns to sub
jects of less intense", but mofe abiding, interest. A
niong these, we mean to p;'.y especial attention te
I. Education. The w hole subject of Education,
both Popular and General , will lie discussed in
our columns throughout the year lfI, and we
hope to elicit in that discussion some of the pro
fouudest thinkers and the ablest instructors incur
country. It is at once our hope and our resolve
that the cause of Education shall receive an im
petus from the exertions of The Tribune in its be
half during the year lSijl.
II. Aiiitui ltli'.e. We hnve l-ccn compelled b
restrict- our elucidations of this great interest
throughout lS:''tl.and shall endeavor to atone there
for in 1SG1. Whatever discovery, deduction, de
monstration, is calculated to render the reward of
labor devoted to cultivation more ample or moro
certain, shall receive prompt ami full attention.
III. MAMFACTt ni;s. &c. We hail every in
vention or enterprise whereby American Capital
and Labor are attracted to and ad vantageoualy
employed in acy department of Manufacturing or
Mechanical Industry as a real coutributiou to lbs
Public Weal, insuring am pier, steadier, more con
venient, more remunerating markets to the Farm
er, with fuller employment and better wages to
the Laborer. The progress of Mining. Iron-Making,
Steel-Making, Cloth-Weaving, 4c, in our
country and the world, shall bo watched aud rcpor-
teu uy us wnu an earnest aim active sympathy.
IV. Foreign Affairs. We employ the beat cor
respondents ia London, Paris, Turin, Berlin, and
other European Capitols, to transmit us early and
accurate advices of the great changes there silent
ly but certainly preparing. In spite of the pres
sure of Domestic Politics, our News from the Old
World is now varied and ample; but we shall
have to render it more perfect during the event
ful year just before us.
V. Home Shws. We employ regular paid cor
respondents in California, at the Isthmus of Da
rien, in the Rocky Mountain gold region, or wher
ever else they seem requisite. From the more ac
cessible portions of our own country, wo derive,
our information mainly from the multifarious cor"
respondents of the Associated Press, from our ex
changes, aud the occasional letters of intelligent
friends. We aim to print the cheapest general
newspaper, with the fullest and most authentic
summary of useful iutelligenee. that is anywhero
afforded. Hoping to "make each day a critic on
the last," and print a better and better paper from
year to year, as cur means are steadily eularged
through the generous co-operation of our many
well-wishers, wo solicit, and shall labor to de
serve, a continuance of public favor.
