FIRES IN 11A.RRISELTRG.—Several attempts have lately been made to burn down the towm, —threats to do so have been made. Last week there was a second fire, the work of in cendiaries, which destroyed two or three houses and a number of stables. Several ar rests have been nude, but still attempts are made nightly to fire the town, by rascals yet at large. ADJOURNMENT OF TILE LEGISLATURE.—The Harrisburg Daily Herald of Monday, says : " Both Houses of the Legislature, at present, exhibit a busy scene of legislation and. indus try. Business is hurried through with a promptness and dispatch that puts to blush all transactions of the early part of the ses sion. The members are making preparations for the final adjournment on the 22d inst., and every one is desirous of getting through his favorite meosures. It was thought, at one time, that neither body would be ready to ad journ by the time set, but the hurry and bus tle which now prevails, shows that there is no probability of their remaining any longer than Thursday." Locals No less than four young men will be sentenced. by Judge TAYLOR, the present term of Court, to the Western Penitentiary. They are all able-bodied men, and could have been useful citizens in any community. Two of the number, at a late hour on Tues day night of last week, while in a state of intoxication, attacked, on Hill street, a boat captain named ELIJAII WRITE, and used him roughly. They were arrested on the next morning, were put upon trial on Thursday and found guilty of an, assault and battery with intent to kill. 'Many who witnessed the hasty trial of these two unfortunate young men, should stop, think, and Lict the part of good citizens, and by so doing escape a similar fate. The Miners'. strike on Broad Top still con tinues, but we are informed that those who will be permitted to remain have ageeed to go to work this week. A few of the most reckless have thus far prevented the well disposed from working for the highest, prices the shippers can afford to give. LONG & MILLER have opened out an assort ment of the best Groceries, Confectionaries, &c., that could be procured in the city, and the public generally would do well to give them a call. See advertisement. The "Mechanics' Bank of Huntingdon," issued, during the last six days, over $50,000 of its paper. D. P. GTVIN'S new advertisement will be found in another column. His assortment of Goods is at least equal to the best in town. The Sale of the State Canals The bill for the sale of the State Canals to the Sunbury and Eric Railroad Company has passed both Houses, and it is asserted by the friends of the measure that the Gov ernor will approve it. The sale has not been made a party question—a large majori ty of all parties being strongly in favor of getting rid of the Canals, the only question in dispute was the manner of sale. Among its most conspicuous advocates was the Hon. WILKINs, of Allegheny. One thing is certa, that the tax-payers have reason to rejoice that they have got rid of improve ments which would have been a continual draw upon their pockets. We give the vote in the Senate and House on the final passage of the bill. In the Senate : YEAS—Messrs. Baldwin, Brewer, Coffey, Finney, Frances, Gregg,. Harris, Ingram, Meyer, Randall, Rutherford, Schell, Scho field, Shaeffer, Souther, Steele, Straub, and Wilkins-18. NaYs—Messrs.

" Wild Cat Banks." The public cannot be too guarded in re ceiving the notes of a number of worthlesss , , banks chartered by the last legislature, and approved by Gov. Pollock. A number of these concerns have recently commenced op erations in the northern and north-western portions of the State, and are making great efforts to get their promises to pay into circu lation. We would caution all persons against taking the notes of any bank, except such as are known to be sound and have heretofore had a good standing among the business community. The Harrisburg Daily Herald, in noticing one of these concerns—the Mc- Kean County Bank—says: "We learn that wherever the notes of this institution have appeared, counterfeits upon its issues also appeared simultaneously, and some people I have been so uncharitable as to doubt which, or whether either, or both emanated from the bank !! This Bank is a genuine wild cat, full grown, and if it ever obtains a foothold, will spring upon the public like a famished tiger." The Lewisburg Chronicle says "there is a great effort made to get afloat Shamokin Bank notes, and also a general distrust of them." The following statement shows that its means are almost wholly in New York brokers' hands or in drafts on New York— who these brokers are, and how valid they are as securities, every man must judge for himself. The managers, we are informed, are strangers to the business men of this sec tion. State of Shamokin Bank, March 2d: Due from City Bankers $26,640 07 Specie in vault• 6,771 95 Loans and Discounts 600 00 Notes of other Banks 653 00 Cash items N. Y. sight drafts 38,000 00 Profit and Loss . 8 18 LIABILITIES Notes in Circulation $33,375 00 Due Depositors 548 20 Due other Banks—Nothing Capital Stock 38,350 00 The Herald, after copying the above state ment from the Philadelphia Bulletin, adds:— How did this Bank get out a circulation of $33,000 of its own notes upon a discount of 52i600. Was it by loaning its own officers that sum upon "N. Y. sight drafts" on men of straw? The "assets" of the concern, as stated, afford a rich example of the condition of the whole batch of "Wild Cat" Banks chartered by Gov. Pollock, and we warn our business men to shun the whole fraternity of them. It is a striking coincidence, too, in the above case, that the " capital stock paid in" amounts to $38,350,—and "cash items, N. Y. sight drafts" to 38,000—a happy coin cidence! The available assets of the Bank are no doubt limited to the amount of specie on hand, the $653 of " notes of other Banks," and, perhaps, the $6OO of "loans and dis counts." The Kansas Conference Committee in Congress. WAsErtNoTox, April 10.—The joint com mittee of conference on the R.ansas bill met this morning, all the members being present for the first time. Mr. Green, on behalf of the majority of the Senate committee, sub mitted several propositions amending the Sen ate bill, none of which proved acceptable to the House committee. Propositions were then solicited from the House committee. Mr. English responded that at the next meeting of the Committee he would submit a new bill, the precise character of which has not transpired, but it is understood to be a proposition for a substitute for the Lecomp ton ordinance and that the question of ad mission uuder the Lecompton Constitution, with the amended ordinance, be referred to a fair vote of the people of Kansas at an ear ly day. If the majority vote for it, Kansas to come into the Union under the President's proclamation. If against it then the bill provides for the formation of a new Constitu tion, whenever the population there equals the number required for a member in the United States House of Representatives.— The committee adjournd over till to-morrow. There is some reason to believe that Mr. English's bill will be agreed to in Conference and passed. Agricultural Society The Huntingdon county Agricultural So ciety assembled—pursuant to previous no tice—in the Court House, on Wednesday even ing, April 14, 1.85 S ; and in the absence of the President, was organized by appointing` Hon.

JUNIATA. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GLOBE. MR. EDITOR : —Permit a friend of afflicted humanity to bring to the notice of the public, the Institution - whose claims upon Christian sympaty and benevolent co-operation are in voked in a letter, of which the fcllowing is a copy, received from the Superintendent : Pennsylvania Training School for Feeble Minded Children. GERMANTOWN, April 13, 1858. To * :—rproposo to visit the towns between here and the Ohio, with some of the pupils of the Institution which I superintend, for the purpose of enlisting pub lic sympathy and interest in our behalf. I shall hold pub lic meetings, and the children will exhibit their capacity for learning. If we stop at Huntingdon, can you give us an audience that will pay our expenses? We have done well in some places in this vicinity, and we are urged to go West. Will you tell me upon whom I may rely, at Hun tingdon, to create an interest before hand? and will you give me the names of your clergymen and physicians, and tell me, to whom to write. I think you were here to see * * some time since? He is well, and I shall take him with me. I want to leave home in ten days, and I will thank you to write promptly. Yours truly, JOSEPH PARISH. Doctor PARISH, the writer of the above let ter, is the son of the distinguished Doctor PArusa, (now deceased,) of Philadelphia, Ile deserves the encouragement and support of all good men, in the effort he is making, to ameliorate the condition of a class of the community, who, until within a few years, have been considered to be beyond the reach of moral training, and have been given up by their friends and theworld to hopeless wretch edness. The Institution, in behalf of which an interest is sought to be awakened, has proved this to be an entire mistake. It is in the bands of an association of benevolent gen tlemen who ought to be patronized and aided upon the grounds both of christian duty and of individual interest. Every christian heart will feel its own reward in contributing to raise helpless imbecility from a state of utter dependence, to a condition of comparative self-sustaining usefulness—relieving friends from painful responsibilities, and society from heavy burthens. The object of this communication is to call the attention of the public to Dr. PARISH'S intended visit with his pupils, and to bespeak for him a favorable and cordial reception. I have no doubt that the exercises of his pu pils will afford great gratification to those who may witness them. Teachers of youth and friends of education, in any and every form ought, especially, to be present. ilfind, is a plant that grows and gains strength by cultivation, and there is no living being in human shape, that is so destitute of its germ as to preclude the hope of warming it into life by cultivation—if taken in time— as in the case of the vegetable plant—the soil in which it lives must be manipulated, and the weak part strengthened by the introduc tion of absent elements—so in the case of the mind, the body in which it germinates must undergo a system of judicious physical train ing, by which the weak parts are strengthened and the whole muscular power brought into healthy action. The School in question is called a " Training School for feeble-minded Children," and its title is, in some measure, an index to its system of teaching. The gym nastic exercises it employs,,in the physical training of the body, may be very advanta geously imitated and combined to a greater or less extent with all the systems of mental training now in operation ; and valuable hints may be taken by teachers and patrons of ed ucation in general, for future use, from Dr. Pamsn's exhibition of his pupils, and his ex planation of the principles he brings to bear in his process of developing their glimmering intellectual powers. How many bodies fall a sacrifice to the ordinary means used in the education of youth ? M. WONDERFUL GROWTH OF KANSAS CITIES.- A Kansas correspondent, in allusion to the rapid growth of Kansas, says ; "The growth of western cities has always been quoted as something marvellous, and this one of Leavenworth will not fall behind the most marvellous accounts of their prog ress. Less than four years ago not a build ing was to be seen on the spot where now reside at least eight thousand people. In the space of three years and a half it has grown up to its present proportions, and is still rapidly increasing. Two daily papers and three - weeklies are published in this city. The various printing offices are overrun with job work, and business generally is prosper ous. In addition to the progress in the news paper line, the citizens are preparing for the introduction of water into their city, and al so intend lighting it with gas. A great deal of activity is apparent, arising from the preparations being made here for the Utah expedition." SUCCESSFUL REMEDIES.—As rats are quite annoying to housekeepers and others, we give the method by which they can most easily be caught: Take your bed, and place it on the floor where the rats are most troublesome then place bits of cheese, sweetmeats, &c., on the pillows and clothes ; get in bed and blow out the light, and remain quiet; the rats will soon make their appearance, and when they pass their tails over your mouth make a bite, and hold fast till the servant girl knocks their brains out with the coal scuttle. Many persons complain of being pestered by bed-bugs. It is said that the inconveni ence may he easily avoided, as follows ; On going to bed, cover yourself from head to foot with boiled molasses ; let every part of the body be thickly covered with it; on coming to bite you, the bugs will stick fast in the molasses, and you can kill them in the morning. . . . DIED. In the Borough of Huntingdon, on Thursday, the Bth inst., of Consumption, Miss ANN AMELIA, daughter of the late Alex. and Catharine M. G win, aged 16 years, 5 months and 17 days. It is painful to the heart's affections to witness the love ly and accomplished cut off in the morning of life, just when developing tendencies to usefulness and honor in the world; but such are the daily bereavements of life, and it is not for us to murmur against the decrees of Ilnu, who, we aro assured, " doeth all things well." ANN GWIN was a pattern worthy of imitation in all the relations which engaged her youthful career. Iler memory will live in the hearts of many till the latest hour of life, for she was kind, 'affectionate and dutiful towards all. Her life was characterized by the graces of christianity; .her words and habits exhibited the fruits of saving faith clustering in her youthful heart. Retiring and modest in her demeanor, she seemed to desire "To be little and unknown, Loved and prized by Christ alone." As life, with her, ebbed otit, her christian hope was in lively exercise and the many assurances she gave of her trust in Christ—expressed in words of unequivocal import —are a consoling proof to the surviving friends that her spirit now rests in the bosom of lint in whom she trusted. —Blair Cb.
