The Lion OF FoRr SUMrER-All men rise
by opportunity as well as by the use of the
talents with which nature has provided them,
and Major Anderson who still retains pos
session of Fort Sumter with his handful of
men, ready to die in the breach for his coun-
try's honor if occasion should require is at
tanning celebrity for which in time of alb.
solute peace he might have waited yanly for
years. In some parts of the Union his GAL
lantry has procured him the honor of a ring
ing of bells and firing of cannon, and
churches have sent up their prayers in behalf
of the little be!eaguered force which seems
now to constitute part of the nations hope.
If the emergencies of the time have not re-
suited in the development of more than one
Major Anderson, it isl probably because the
Government, wishing to do all it possibly
can to prevent a collision from which civil
war would probably result. has hesitatsd to
concentrate its forces at the prominent forti-
fications along the Southern coast most of
which are however in a very dilapidated con-
dition. There can be no doubt this has thus
far been its policy; whether the correct one
or not, time alone can decide.

Snow SHoEING FOR BELT.-Over at Onion
Valley, Plumas county, says the Mountain
Messenger, the boys are having gay sport in
sliding down the long and steep hill sides on
snow shoes. George Swain, the expressman,
informs us that the Onion Valley folks have
attained perfection in snow shoeing that is
astonishing. A club has been formed, and
every Sunday the members assemble and
have lively contest of speed for a champion
belt, valued at $25. The belt is worn 10y the
champion, a Ia Heenan, [only Heenan didn't
get his, until some faster skater wins in it,
and he in his turn is possessor till some other
feet-footed individual takes the belt. That
sliding down the hill sides on Norwegian
skates is RAE fun, invigorating, developer
of the wind, and better for sickly ones than
cod liver oil or hypophosphites of lime and
soda. We're supposed to know what we are
talking about, now.

The Secessionsts of Georgia are trying to
put down Alexander H. Stephens, by calling

FATHER SLATTERY-Some time since col

relief of the late Father Slattery's family, of

those to whom it may apply, may take the

was raised for a monument or for the family.

MARYsv1LLE MEDICAL INsTIToTE.-Our Co

have already noticed this newly projected

is no doubt that hospital of the kind in con-
temptation by Doctors Gray and Lasvignes,
is a necessity of the community. Combining
the comforts OF homie with medical atten-
tions, the invalid can rest securely and await
his recovery, without the harassing fear Of
those forlorn sick who have no place to go to
and no dependence in their helplessness The
plan of this Institute is set forth in the adver-
tsement in another column, and it is GER
tainly entirely practicable. Doctors Gray
and Lasvignes are well known as skillful
physicians and surgeons, and the people will
have every confidence in their ability to take
charge of an institution of this character
