LUMBER.-During the past winter,
in the great forests of this State from
which large supplies of lumber are
annually drawn, immense quantities
were prepared for rafting in the Sus-
quehanna and transportation by other
channels of conveyance southwark
and eastward. In the districts of
southern New York, adjacent to our
lumber fields, the trade has also been
active during the winter, and it is
anticipated that large quantities of
logs and sawed lumber will be ship
ped thence this spring to market. In
the great pineries of Canada, Michi-
gan and Wisconsin, the amount of
lumber got out, and either manufac.
tured or ready for manufacturing, is
very large. The amount of lumber
On hand in Chicago, ON the first of

Gen. SHERIDAN's DIsTRICT.-Advices
reached here from Louisiana state
that Gen. SHERIDAN has, by the effect
Of his recent orders, absolutely tied
the hands of the civil authorizes. so
that Gov. WELLS, who, under the
Constitution, has power to make re-
movals and appointments in certain
Offices, can do nothing without first
obtaining his consent. Tue old po-
lice force are retained, but are more
respectful toward Union men and
freedmen than before. Col. THOMAS
ADAMS, MoSRoE's Chief of Police, is
continued in that office, although an
effort is being made to secure his re-
moval and the appointment of Gen.
SYPHER, formerly Colonel Of colored
regiment, in his place. Prominent
Radicals Of New-Orleans will soon
petltlon SHERIDAN to allow WELLS TO
make removals, and thereby flank all
attempts on the part Of the ex-rebels
to prevent them by influence at
Washington.

sHocKrsc oA1AxrrY.-We alluded, a

day or two since, to a frightful cal
amity that occurred at Gibson, near
Corning, the other night. The Jour
nal has these detailed particulars !:
About midnighr of Friday, a small
house at Gibson, occupied by JOHN
PHENAs, was consumed by FIRE, and
four persons persisted in the flames
viz I: Mr.. Phenas, and his two sons,
aged sixteen and nineteen years, and
his granddaughter, aged seven or
eight years. Mr.. P. was al old resi-.
dent of the town, and owing to his
ill health and poverty, the family had
largely subsisted on charity for 8
number of years. The house was a
small building near the tow path, a
few rods east et the highway bridge.
The fire is supposed to have caught
from broken stove plate, under
which was usually kept for secur-
ity, but which that night had been
displaced, and thus set fire to some
wood or kindlings drying near the
stove. Mr.. P. and those above re-
ferred to, and his wife and another
granddaughter, slept in one room in
the rear. He was awaked by the
smoke and reused his wife, and both
sought to awake the other. Mrs. P.
and one girl escaped, passed through
to the only outer door Of the house,
past the stove to the front. 1t is sup
posed that on opening the door of the
sleeping room, the smoke and flames
rushed in so as to overpower-Mr. P,
and his sons, as their bodies were
found in different places, as though
they were seeking to find the door,
when overcome by the sitting smoke.
The little girl did not probably awake,
as her face was not burned. Her
body was badly burned, however, ,and
one of her limbs burned off below
the knee. The other bodies were
horribly burned, the upper portion of
the skull of Mr.. p, and the breast
bone being entirely consumed, and
the hands and feet of all more or less
burned off.
DR.. NAY, Coroner, held an inquest
on Saturday. The remains of the
bodies were placed in two cofins, and
the funeral was attended by very
large collection of people. This ter
rible calamity, one to which all peo-
pie are liable, the destruction of
house and family by flames in the
dead hour of night, produced a pro.
found sensation in this vicinity
Thousands visited the scene Satur-
day and Sunday, and none can forget
the horror it inspired.
