THE ;HUNTINGDON GLOBE. antin.gdou,- June 11, ).856 " Is a man.who'Avcelay advertises himself as a " RATE" worthy•thahigh ind honorable posi tion of an editor, and should he not be si.w•ned from the society "and' felloUtOdp honorable men ?"—llurtiinguon American. Why ask"that question.' Don't you know that the honorable fraternity everywhere by an established rule despise and condemn a ratting individual as unworthy the " society and fellowship," the countenance and sup. •port of honorable. men ? The editor of the "Journal" is a RAT, he rats his advertising, and lie rats in his job'work, such' as it is, and would you believe it, he glories in his shame. in the most conspicuous places of our town he has posted bills-upon which 'are printed in large tut- scarcely legible" characters the as _ tunniling infofrnatiOn that job work can be Jone 2,o2per -cent. cheaper - than 'at any „ other and upon which are also displayed the pictures of a: monstrous big rat! We therdfore Say he is, not '',worthy the high and honorable - position of an editor;” he - should 44 be spurned from the'society and felloviship of honorable men." . . There is no law (among printers) forbidding the ; destruction of "rats," and if the editors of the American have no conscientious scru ples,about engaging in the business, we will cheerfully furnish them with an excellent re ceipt for that purpose. VVe have tried it on the varmints in our cellar. It works well. COMMUNICATIONS. MR.

It is time to wipe out the disgrace of being repre seated' by men Who are intellectually and mor ally the inferiors of , nine tenths of their con 7 stituents. • • now' respectfully bring to ,the notice of the party in this county arid dis trict a worthy'man and a good democrat who has never intruded himself upon public notice, TILIDDEUS BANKS, Esq , of .Hellidaysburg..:--- He has the qualities whichare needed to make a good representative ; ability and integrity: both manifested by his success and standing in his own profession: It may be that it would require a personal sacrifice by ,Mr. BANKs to accept any political (Alice, but that is just the reasou .why he,should. be elected. Men who seek office becanso - their own mer its cannot . secure success in any thing else, have disgraced therpeciPle long enough. Let us select those who. do not seek it, but attend diligently and successfully to Theis 9-war busi ness. Such a -man is Mr. Banks, and it-would afford his numerous friends in Huntingdon county pleasure to have the oppoitunity of supporting him for. Congress. HUNTINGDON ; ; June 9; 1856 TRAPPE D PA., June 1855 MY DEAR spent--a short time at Pottstown, your native place—the scene of your youthful sports, and pranks of halcyon days. Anxious to visit The Trappe,villa is easily accessible ;by daily stages; 1 came here. There is t - nuch of interest that clusters around this place. There is the old, Lutheran Church, venerable with age." The tornbS; that hold the.remains of great and good men, are here —of such as the Mohlenbercie, of "Honest Franlc," once goyernor of Penniyloirania.— The scenery, as far as eye can carry, is of the most imposing kind. The people are en terprising, moral, intelligent, courteous—the stranger feels at home arnidst 'these sternly honest GermanS. : The facilities for- educa tion are unsurpassed: Three of the very best educational establishments within a dis tance of one mile and a half—all well attend ed. Each deserving a special notice: The first in order, ,is The. Trappe Washington Hall, commenced March 703,1830, now con ducted,by _ABEL RAninc, A. 8., a graduate of Pennsylvania College. He has been here seven years. His accommodations are am ple. The course of instruction liberal r and -thorough. The terms reasonable. There is one thing peculiar and worthy •of resnar.k : the Principal, though assisted by that widely known teacher of Music, Professor 13ntatx- FUSS, imparts instruction in vocal and instru mental music - hiraselr once or twice each week. I So w,ell known is this HALL, because of its thorough English, Classical, Lingual, Mathe matical and'Musical course, that pupils flock to if from every part of the country. A visit to tlie_place—a personal interview with kr. RAALBO, convince the most sceptical and parsipionious that this is the place to have his son 'prepared for• a Teach,er, of a school of .advanced standing—for college—for business' in general. The charges, per annum, inclu .ding board and tuition, about $125. Catalogues giving particulars, will be sent, I believe, by addressing ABEL RAMBO, A.

THE BROAD Top Pic Nic.—The excursion party-composed of ladies aruf gentlemen from Philadelphia, Lewistown, Miillintown, Hol lidaysburg and Huntingdon, with an excellent brass band, froin Altoona; which left this place for Broad Top on yesterday 'morning, had i a most delightful time of it. Walt son, . President of the Company, and Mr. Boon, Superintendent of the Road, took charge of the train, and with the assistance of several of their careful employees,- the party arrived at a beautiful grove at the town of Barnett ; some thirty miles up the road, and returned in - the evening without the slightest accident occurring. The extensive collation - , prepared by Mr. Eclaris Thomas, cannot be beat. THAT CatavENTroN l .—The Republican Coun ty-Convention which assembled in this place on Saturday 31st ultiino, was a decided fail ure; not more than one delegate from the country being in attendance.

McClure, teacher of one of the public schools in I.Twchlan — township, Chester-county, was recently dismissed by the beia - rd of directors, for refusing to open and sweep out the school house, and make the fires every morning, as they demanded of her. For the purpose olaseertaining wheth er the directors had any authority to exact such service from her, in addition to the du ties they employed her to preform, she ad dressed a letter of inquiry to the School De partment, and received the following prompt reply : MADAM :—YOur letter of the 18th, just received, discloses an almost incredible amount of stupidity and perversity on the partof your-directors. The services they re quire of, you in the way of making fires fg.c., are- do part of 'your professional duties, and do not enter into your contract—and if the directors continue to refuse to make provision for the schools in this matter, we shall with hold the State appropriation from that district for the current year, in which.case they will become indiViduaily liable for the amount thus lost through their delinquency. - Please give me the names and post office address of the Presiderit of the -Board, so that I can write to them on the 'subject. Very . respectfully yours, H. B. FUCKOK, Deputy Supt. VERITAS MURDER.—Saturday evening last, several soldiers were coming up East Louther srteet, when one of them named Richard M'Greevy, drew a knife and stabbed another named Thomas M'Gary, in the side, inflicting a wound from which M' Gary died on Monday morning. They were not quarrelling at the time, but we understand, that there has been a "grudge" between the assassin and his vic tim for some time. The perpetrator . of .the deed is now .in our jail - awaiting his trial for murder, at the August term.. An inquest was helion the body by coroner Thompson, and V-e fact was clearly proved, that the death was caused by the wound inflicted by the prisoner.—The following is the - statement made on oath by M'Gary, shortly after the occurrence: "On Saturday evening the 31st of May, between 7 and 8 o'clock, I met Richard M'- Greevy and asked him why he called me a son of a b—h, and I . drew back to strike him and he left and r went up street. I spoke to him again and then .he turned round and stabbed me." While we cannot but regret the commis sion of the deed in our borough, we are glad that it was not done by any of our citizens, and we hope•tbat it mill-prove a warning to those valorous persons who carry weapons, for the laudible purpose of resenting insult, and flatter themselves that they mean only to use thetnin self-defence.—Carlisle Demberat of June 51/1,; On the inst.; by Rev. 1).

This following highly interesting and au thentic letter we take from the Independence Dispatch, Extra. The rumors collated of this foul and bloody massacre are so uniting that there is but little space, if any, to doubt its correctness—however, much we hope to hear it reliably contradicted. If true, there is an indignation which will be avenged against each who so cowardly participated in the INHUMAN deed! In human,' we say, becalise these hireling Free State mauraders fled from 1, -the face of their foe—a foe that had met_ them ; at their own solicitation, to 'the settlements of I peaceable citizens, and there committhe most dastardly outrages, ever' chronicled. The following pro-slavery men are known to have been killed—three, by, the name of Doyle, three Sherman's, a Mr. Whitaker and Wilker- Son. The messenger whubrought the infor mation to Franklin, Icy., states that he_ saw the - party who were murdered ; . they we're cut to pieces and hop - ibly- mangled. , Here is the letter. i FRANICLIN COUNTY, K. T., - . Sunday lVforning, May 25, 1856. To the Hon. Governor of ..Kansas Territory, or the Hon. Daniel Woodson Secretary of the Territory : - ' • GENTLEaIEN :—I will inform your Honors that there is a mob of the Yankees iii this part of the Territory, - committing dreadful outra g es-of the most savage character. • An Expressarrived this morning at my place of residence, from Potawafomie Creek; with information that an organised band of Abolitionists, at a very late hour at night, attacked the houses of the Pro-Slavery men and tore them from their families and murder ed them in a most savage manner. The informer states that he believes nearly all the Pro-Slivery• men on Potawatornie' Creek were murderd last night. This is to inform you that it is 'now high time to send troops, without delay. Send immediate relief until other arrangements can be made, and further information can be had. Yours in baste, SAM'L M. ROBERTSON, Countj , Commissioner of Franklin C 8 Pro-Slavery Families Driven Awav Since the above was in type, we have just learned that two Pro-Slavery families, were roughly driven from their homes on Hickory Point by a snob of Abolitionists. They were not permitted to take with them any of their stock (about 200 head) of cattle or. - negroes. The negroes, though afterwards made their escape and followed their masters to this place and crossed with them into Clay county. The names of the Pro-Slavery men are Feelan and. Jones.—These families were the last to leave Hickory Point, the balance having been driven away previously. The Abolitionists went .to 'their housea about 12 o'clock at night - , ordered them to leave immediately without making any preparations whatever. They then gathered around a,negro man and.troman, and told them to' remain in the Territory—that they should be free &c.—to which the two consented; a young ne,gro' girl" refused to' remain with them, and was,' after great hes itation porrnited to accompany her master. • From the Kansas City' Enterprise of May' 31 Kansas---Purtlier Particulars We are'permitted by Jos. C. RANSOM, Esq., of this City, to make the following' extract from a private letter addressed to him by Mr. SHARKEY, of Osowattomie. The state ments of Mr. S. are en ttrely'reliable and fully confirm the horrid murders spoken of it: our extra of the 27th. This letter as will be seen shows the number of persons murdered to be dire instead of eight as reported: "OSOWATTOM.T.E.', K. T., May 28. * There is quite an excitement in this place and all the country is in an uproar in regard to the murder of five pro-slavery men. There' was a party -of persons who went.to their houses last Saturday night and called the parties out and then killed them.— Mr. SBERMAN had his head split open and was otherwise mutilated, and then thrown into Potowattamie creek. Mr. DOYLE was called out and stabbed in several places— head split open and .cut across the face and his ears both cut - off. His two sons were killed at the same time, by being stabbed in several places and cut' all to pieces. Mr. WILKERSON was used in the same manner; his head was cut open and body cut in sever al places. It is one of the most horrible out rages that has been committed in Kansas. There are hard times ahead and we do not knoiv what will come to pass." In addition to this, we are informed by Mr- STOTTS, who left Osovvattomie on the 28th) that the citizens of that'plice were highly inflamed at the perpetration of these diabol ical murders, and bad arrested• one and per haps three of.the murderers, and were using every exertion. to bring- the others to punish ment, who, he informs us are known and number sixteen, well armed and , mounted, and very desperate. Mr. Sroras further in forms us that while passing in the woods near Osowa:tomie, on Tuesday- last, he met one of these. desperadoes, who presented a gun to his faCe and demanded, to know if he was a Free State man, and upon being an swered in the affirmative, the dastard brute permitted him to pass without further moles tation. Such are the legitimate fruits of Bee cher Bibles, and the . rebellion instigated by the British emissaries to whom RI:EDER, Rom /MON, BROWN' & Co., have been playing sec ond fiddle, in instigating this wicked insur rection. , P.,HILADMPE3ELe.

Decisions," does not correspond with the general practice over the State, and is also ihund to he erroneous to some extent as a matter of law, inasmuch us it improperly exempts " trades, occupations and professions," of a less value than two hundred dollars, from taxation for School purposes. it.was so regulated to cor respond with the State tax on occupations, but the 29th and 30th sections of the School Law . adjust the School tax to the County as well as State tax; and as occupations under two hun. ‘ dred dollars are not exempt from taxation for County purposes, it follows as a necessary con sequence that they •are liable to taxation for School purposes. The various acts of Assembly, with regard to County tax arc exceedingly ob scure and unintelligible with regard to the man. ner of assessing the -tax on occupations; hut the soundest rule of practice to' be gathered from them will.iie for Directors to assess ‘ oc cupations" for School purposes at such rate per cent., as the necessities of the District may re quire, not exceeding thirteen mills on the dollar, except where the tax at the rate thus fixed would not amount to fifty cents, in which case it should he fixed at that specific sum, accord. ing to the proviso to the 30th section of the School law. • Where the duplicate has-already been made out,'Directors can recall and amend, it. accord ing to the instructions contained in this circu lar.
