/Se?' The bill to abolish the Canal Board
did not get through the Senate, for want of
time previous to adjournment of the Legisla
ture. The Canals having all been disposed
of there will be nothing for a Canal Board
to do further than settle up the business,
which can all be done before the summer is
over.

INDEPENDENCE.—The Harrisburg Daily Her
ald, speaks our sentiments to the letter, in
following paragraphs :
"We like a conscientious, independent man;
one who knows the responsibilities which rest
upon him, and so knowing, is not afraid to
act, let the consequences be what they may—
who is always prompt to do what he believes
to be right, without regard to the opinions of
others—one who examines all subjects fur
himself, and having done so carries out his
conclusions in a manner that there is no mis
taking. You always know where to find such
a man; you have only to ascertain his opin
ion of things to know what he will do with
regard to them. He can be depended upon
in an emergency ; acting upon the dictates
of an honest conscience, he will not be swayed
by fear, favor or affection, from doing what
he thinks was right.
"How infinitely, supremely higher he stands
in the estimation of the world, and we might
say of his Maker, too, than the poor apology
who pins his ideas to the coat-tail of some
man or set of men, and dare not say, or even
to act out, what he thinks -right, for fear of
displeasing those who look upon him, as ev
ery one does, in the light of a tool, to be used
or abused at pleasure. Nobody respects him,
and even those whom he serves despise him
for his want of that noble principle, indepen
dence; without which man is as the beaSt that
labors."
THE KANSAS CONFERENCE REPORT.—The
result of the conference between the commit
tees of the two Houses of Congress on the
disagreeing votes on the Kansas bill, was re
ported in the House of Representatives on Fri
day by Mr. English, Chairman. The mea
sure recommended by the committee is in sub
stance to the effect that Kansas shall be ad
mitted under the Lecompton Constitution af
ter a vote by the people ; if the vote be a neg
ative one, then Kansas will have to await the
requisite accession of population to entitle
her to one representative in Congress before
again having an opportunity to come into the
Union. The - Vote authorized to be taken, is
not directly upon the constitution, but upon
a modification of a clause of the ordinance
which accompanies the constitution relative
to the public lands, the result of which must
be practically the acceptance or rejection of
the whole - measure of admission, at the pres
ent time, or of the Lecompton constitution it
self.
The report will be sustained in the Senate
by a majority of the Senators; Messrs. Dou
glas, Stewart, and Broderick, Democrats, op
posing it.
The question of adoption, by the House, is
considered doubtful.
THE CRISIS PAST.—The 12th of April, we
believe, was the day fixed by the extra ses
sion of the last Legislature for the resump
tion of specie paymnnt by the Banks of this
State. We have not yet heard of any " cav
ing in." The most precarious currency now
afloat in the State is the issue of the wild cat
institutions recently set in opperation in Tio
ga-, Crawford, M'Kean and Elk counties.--1-
They had better be charitably handled. We
understand there are counterfeits already in
circulation on the M'Kcan county Bank. It
would be a hard matter for us to determine,
Which were the safe course, to take the coun
,erfeit or the n'ermine.—Ex.

CORRESPONDENCE OP THE GLOBE.
FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, April 21, 1858.
DEAR GLOBE:—In my last communication
I said nothing of the prospect of the wheat
crop, fruit, &0., in our township. Our farm
ers have high hopes of a very abundant crop
of wheat. An old resident of this township,
says, "he never saw the grain look more
promising at this season of the year ;" and
if the "frost king" does not shake his hoary
locks over our fruit trees, we will have an
abundance of all kinds of fruit common to
this part of the country.
Substantial fences of various descriptions,
are being put up throughout our immediate
neighborhood. Some of post-and-rail, others
of stone, and a few in the form of hedges
from the last year's growth of the Osage Or
ange seed—which by the way is kept for sale
by our enterprising old friend, John S. Isett.
Our Summer Schools are beitp , opened un
der favorable auspices, and bid fair to be well
I attended and profitably conducted. I see by
your columns, that some persons in our coun
ty, acting, doubtless, through ignorance or
sinister molivcs, have circulated petitions for
the repeal of the Superintendency, and hav
ing procured a few signers by what means
they had in their power, have sent them to
Harrisburg for our " Modern Solons" to waste
their time and our money in discussing.—
Since the County Superintendency came into
active operation, We have better teachers,
higher salaries, longer school terms, and more
convenient school-houses; many of which are
supplied
.with school apparatus, which were
scarcely ever seen in our school-rooms before.
I do not pretend to say that all these advan
tages have resulted from the office in ques
tion • but it cannot be denied that it has done
much in advancing the cause of education
here, as well as elsewhere. I have found
in the counties through which I have been
during the past year, that persons who object
to the County Superintendency, when closely
questioned on the subject, plainly show by
their language, that they hare no real objec
tions to the office at all; but merely find fault
with the men whom the Directors of Schools
have chosen to fill that office in their respec
tive counties. LEROY.
Secretary
The St. Louis Democrat has the following
paragraph upon the arrival of Colonel Ben
ton's remains in that city :
"By its side was the little coffin containing
the body of the Statesman's grandchild, Mc-
Dowell Jones. Each body was enclosed in
an air tight zinc case, which was laid, with
in a mahogany coffin. A lid was raised so
as to allow friends to look through a glass
on the faces of the dead. The face of the
great Missourian wore that expressou of ma
jestic placidity which was habitual to him in
life. The lips were slightly open, the eyes
closed, and every lineament in the face in a
state of repose that indicated how gentle and
peaceful had been the end of the veteran's
stormy life. There was no discoloration or
wrinkle to be, seen, and the presence of death
was visable only in the closed eyelids and
the cold, white, marble like appearance of
of the' features. The grandchild lay as sweet
ly as though only sleeping, with its little
head, covered with golden hair, nestling
amid white hyacinths and early spring flow
enT, whose purity was typical of its UNVII young
s piri t."
Pennsylvania Legislature.
The Two Extremes
A Senator Elected by a Love Letter.
In a certain town in this State, a letter ar
rived for a young lady from her lover, on the
day of the election. The Postmaster, its is
not unfrequent in the rural districts, knowing
the eagerness with which a message of that
tender character would be expected, took upon
himself the pleasing duty of delivering it ;
but first, like a good Democrat, he must vote,
and of course in a separate self-sealing enve
lope. This was duly prepared, with the Dem
ocratic tickets sagely enclosed, and the gluten
stuck together. Stopping at the town meet
ing he deposited the letter in the ballot box,
and proceeded with the separate and self
sealed envelope to the house of the blooming,
maiden, to whom he gallantly banded the en
tire Democratic ticket, State and town. how
the lady interpreted the missive we do not
know, but the moderator and clerk ungallant
ly refused to count the love letter, and the
Republican candidate was declared elected
by one majority.—Providence Journal.
The Mormon 'War
Brigham Young is evidently getting more
and more excited against the army, and is
making a great show of resistance to Col.
Johnston, so far as words concerned ; but not
withstanding this, the Mormon troops bad all
returned to Salt Lake City to winter. There
is said to be a destitution in the city, and
considerable discontent or fear certainly pre
vails, for Brigham Young had furnished
over eight hundred Mormons with passports
to go to California. A mass meeting to sus
tain Brigham had been held in Salt Lake
City, at which an address to -the President
was adopted as illogical and as scurrilous, as
the usual productions in that quarter. If
the Mormons are so unanimous for war, why
is it necessary to hold mass meetings to sus
tain, the prophet ?—Phila. Ledger,
A DEAD BODY DISINTERRED AND TEE lIEAET
TAKEN OUT TO CUILE CONSUMPTION.--TIIC
Gienns Falls Jiepublican gives an account of
an affair extraordinary though of occasional
oceurence, which transpired about a mile
from that village a few days ago. It appears
that a man by the name of Adams died and
was buried about seventeen months ago, leav
ing a wife to mourn his loss. The widow re
moved to the West and remained there until
a short time since, when she returned to
Menus Palls. Upon her return she found
her deceased husband's brother dying with
consumption, and declared that he could be
cured only in in the following manner, which
she said was practiced where she had been
livin :—The body of her husband should be
taken up, the heart dissected, and if any
blood was found in the heart, it should be
burned, and the sick man would recover !
This proposition mas immediately acted upon
—The dead body disinterred, a physician
called, who took out the heart and lungs, but
not enough blood being found to answer the
purpose, the further prosecution of the infam
ous project was abandoned.
SAD EFFECTS OF RELIGIOUS EXCITEMENT-
The insanity of Mr. and Mrs. 11. C. Peck, of
Providence, R. 1., and the death of the latter,
as the result of over excitement in religion, is
mentioned in the Providence (R. I.) papers.
The Post giving an account of the circum
stances, before 'Mr. Peck's death, said:
Both ofi them have felt much interest in
the revivals now progressing here, and recent
ly have allowed religious subjects to so con
stantly press upon their thoughts as to pre
vent them from eating or sleeping with much
regularity. Within a few days both have
manifested unmistakable signs of insanity,
and Mr. Peck, when not under the influence
of chloroform, has bad to be handcuffed, to
prevent him from injuring himself, and those
about him. Mrs. Peck, as is usual in such
cases, believed that God had commanded her
to fast, and has thus refused food for several
days, save on one or two occasions. She has
also imagined that her children had been com
manded to fast; insisted that they should re
fuse food, and was so reckless in her chas
tisement of them when they disobeyed her,
that she also had to be confined.
GRAPE CULTURE IN TILE SOUTH AND WEST.
—Prof. G. C. Swallow, State Geologist of
Missouri, in recent letters to the Patent Of
fice, suggested the idea that the extensive
areas Kentucky and Tennessee, known as
the "barrens," may be rendered valuable for
vineyards. Should this prove true, the nu
merous caves contained in the limestone
would become very valuable as places of
storage for wine. lle says that their seems
to be no doubt that it can be demonstrated to
the satisfaction of all intelligent wine-dress
ers that there are at least 20,000,000 acres of
land in Missouri, Kentucky - and Tennessee
on which the vine will succeed as well as in
France and Turkey.

40)r.IIartlman treats Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Larryugittis and all diseases of the throat and lungs, by
Medical Inhalation, lately used in the Bromton Hospital,
London. The great point in the treatment of all human
maladies, is to get at the disease in the direct manner.—
All medicines are estimated by their action upon the organ
requiring relief. This is the important fact ulion w hich
Inhalation is based. If the stomach is disease', we take
medicine directly into the stomach. If the lungs arc dis
eased, breathe or inhale medicated vapors directly into
the lungs. Medicines arc antidotes to disease and should
be applied to the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the
application of this principle to the treatment of the lungs,
for it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells. and
tubes which lie out of reach of every other means of ad
ministering medicines. The reason that Consumption,
and other diseases of the lungs,
have heretofore resisted
all treatment has been because they have never been ap
proached in a direct manner by medicine. They were in
tended to act upon the lung's, and yet were applied to the
stomach. Their action was intended to be local, and yet,
they were co administered that they should only act con
stitutionally, expending their immediate and principal ac
tion upon the unotTending stomach, whilst the foul ulcers
within the lungs were unmolested. Inhalation brings
the medicine in direct contact with the disease, without
the disadvantage of any violent action. Its application is
so simple, that it can be employed by the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. It does notderange the stomach, or in
terfere in the least degree with the strength, comfort, or
business of the patient.
Other Diseases Treatcd.—ln relation to the following dis
eases. either when complicated with lung affections or ex
isting alone, I also invite consultation, I usually find them
