THE CANAL BOARD ABOLISHED. - -A bill has
passed both branches of the Legislature abol
ishing the Canal Board. The present Com
missioners will remain in office until the Ist

nation of WESTLEY FROST has proved an
empty honor.
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.

" 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.

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.
