LOCAL MATTERS.

Young Men’s Christian Association will

o’clock, at their rooms.
Barbee's Coquette.
This exhibition will remain in our

ful production of art, ever exhibited in

The Floral Procession.
The procession of the Orphan juve
niles on Saturday evening, to the grave
of Mr. Tuttle, the founder of the Or
phan Asylum, was an interesting pa
geant. The number of children in the
institution is 29.
Important To The Ladles.
Mr. Taylor, publisher of the Bon
Ton, with Miss Gillespie, is now at the
Globe Hotel, for a short time only, for
the purpose of teaching his new sys
tem, for cuttiug Ladies Dresses and Bas
que Waist. That all may see the I
great improvement, Mr. Taylor pro-!
poses to give a full explanation of his |
principle Wednesday morning, at ten j
o’clock in the Parlor of the Globe Hotel ]
at which time, a number of garments
will be cut and tried on for the inspec
tion of those present.—Ladies go and
see for yourselves.
Resuming Specie Payment.
Our Banks have quietly resumed spe
cie payment—so quietly, that hut for
the announcement in the papers, nobo
dy would have known it. We have
heard of no calls for specie, and expect
to hear of none, resulting from a want
of confidence. Our business interests
feel a temporary stringency, resulting
from the necessary contraction of the
Banks, and the inconvenience of a mix
ed currency. This state of things will
continue until the Carolina Banks re
sume.
By the way, we learn that checks on
Augusta are at a premium of 3-4 to 1
per cent, in Charleston. Wonder if the ,
Charleston Banks will continue to re
ceive Augusta money, “as a matter of ;
convenience,” as they lately signified a
generous purpose to do ?

A Tooelilng Scene In a State Prlswa—
A Child In Search of Its Father.
One evening last week, just as the
hell of the Sing Sing Prison was ringing
“all right” and most of the officers
were about taking tlieir departure from
the Institution, a little girl about seven
wears of age entered the Warden’s of
fice. On being questioned ns to her
name and errand, she said that her
name was Agnes W , and that she
had “come all the way from New York
to see her father, whom her mother
had told her was in Prison at Sing
Sing.” The intelligent and mournful
looks of the child soon enlisted the
sympathy of the Warden and other of
ficers, and it was at once decided to
gratify the wishes of the little heroine.
‘ But a difficulty at once arose—there
being no less than four convicts bearing
the same name as the father, but this
difficulty was soon overcome by the lit
tle girl herself.
She said that her father was a cooper by
trade, and it became apparent at once
that the J W employed in the
“Shook Shop” was the looked for fa
ther. He was soon brought from his
cell to the office, and the scene which
took place between the convicted father
and his child will not soon be forgotten
hv those who witnessed it. Accustomed
as the officers are to affecting scenes be
tween the convicts a id tlieir relatives,
this one was too much for their feelings,
and a tear stood in the eye of many of
those stout hearted men.
The storv of little Agnes toiler father
was “that her mother was very poor,
lived out at service, and could not come
to see him. so Bhe thought she would
come herself; that she left New York
that morning without one cent of mo
ney—walked through the city till she
came to the railroad that some hoys told
her passed through Sing Sing: that she
crept in one of the cars and hid herself
away, and, when found by the conduc
tor, lie allowed her ride all the way up
for nothing, and that some of the boys
in the village told her the way to the
Prison.”
After spending some time with her
father, she was kindly taken care of for
the night by one of our citizens, and
the next morning a lady of our village
accompanied her to New York, and had
her placed in an asylum devoted as a
home to the children of the destitute,
where she will be taken care of, and
properly and kindly treated. — Sing Sing
Chronicle.
Texas Items.
The Galveston Civilian, of the 24th,
in its weekly review of the market, says
that business generally has been good,
and large quantities of goods of all de
scriptions continue to be sold and ship
ped for the interior.
By a law of the last Legislature of
Texas, hereafter no scroll or private
seal is necessary to any deed or contract,
except such as are made by corporations.
They are having cold weather at Gal
veston.
Northers are occurring with unusual
frequency and much later than usual
this year.
The anniversary of the battle c f San j
Jacinto was celebrated on the battle i
ground, on Wednesday, by a grand bar- j
becue, display of military, music, j
speeches, &c. The attendance was j
large, including a great number of la- j
di s and children from the surrounding j
country.
We see an estimate made that the
wheat crop of Fannin, Lamer, Red Riv
er and Collin counties, will amount to ;
820,000 bushels the present season,
which is more than the estimated corn j
crop by 20,000 bushels. The average j 1
wheat crop on the black land is put!
down at twenty-five bushels to the acre.
The Houston Republic, of the 24th,
has the following in relation to the
work on the Houston and New Orleans I
Railroad :
This work has commenced in good j
earnest. The city of Houston has be
come responsible to the contractors, E. i
L. Wentz & Co., in the sum of $25,000, j
that the iron for the first section of the j
road would be delivered in ninety days. I
The Brenham Enquirer has the most j
flattering accounts of the growing crops
in that county.
The Belton (Bell county) Independent,
of the 17th inst., says:
The number of cavalladces which
j have passed onr doors up to to-day is r
| thirty, amounting in all to 0373 head,
mules and horses. The number of oxen
and beef cattle which have passed ,
amounts to about 2300.
| The Waco Democrat, of the 22d, has
| the following news from the Indian
Agency.
Col. Gardner and Capt. John Holaday (
arrived at Fort Belknap about ten days
ago, and will start about the Ist of May
with the train that quartered at the
| fort, hound for California. Everything
:is in good order.
Capt. Ross will leave on the 25th
inst., with 140 Rangers and 120 Reserve
Indians, for the purpose of chastising ■
tile Camanche and other wild tribes for
their depredations.
Our informant says corn and wheat
j looks promising in the Reserve. j
Also the following :
■'Since our last issue, no less than 2000 1
head of cattle, and as many mules and
horses, have crossed the Brazos at this
point, destined for Northern and Eas- 1
tern Texas, Missouri and Kansas.
A gentleman fron the Hill informs
us that a great deal of the wheat in that ]
country will be ready to gather in the ,
course of two or three weeks. i
Our farmers are in fine spirits now.—
Although we had a frost last week, as
we predicted, it was so light that no
damage resulted to the crops.

FOREIGN ITEMS
By the Steamship Arabia.
GREAT BRITAIN.
London, Friday. F. Sl —The funds re
main without much alteration, but the
tendency is toward flatness. In the dis
count market there was great ease to
day, and it was difficult to lend money,
at all, upon any terms. In the foreign j
exchanges, this afternoon, the rates ’
were about che same as last post. 1
The Times says that the advices from j
all the commercial centres of the conti
nent describe a stagnation of business, c
and a general exercise of caution ; such ‘
perhaps have never previously been wit
nessed to a similar extent.
The Turkish government have just
completed coutracts.with three English
ship builders, and three London engi
neers, for ten war steamers, ranging
I from 200 to 800 tons, to establish the
! Black sea fleet allowed to them under
j the terms of the treaty of Paris. It is
thought the total cost will he little less
than £300,1)00.
It was rumored that Queen Victor ia
intended to pay a visit to Prussia during
the ensuing summer.
At the meeting of the Royal Geogra
phical Society, in Loudon, Dr. W. Rink,
of Copenhagen, read a paper on the sup- j
1 posed discovery of the north coast of)
, Greenland, and an open polar sea, by Dr. j
. Kane.
The house of one of the sharp Boston j
’ constables, Mr. Derastus Clapp, was thor- 1
I oughly cleaned out by thieves, on Mon-1
day afternoon last.
I The editor of the Clinton (N. J.) Cou
r rier records the astonishing fact that five j
: ladies, all residents of Clinton, onacer-j
’ tain day within the past fortnight, took |
r passage" in the stage from Clinton to j
! Utica; and during the entire drive of an j
1 hour and a quarter, not me of them spoke j

lars and they have paid Losses of mere than six hundred thousand dollars, which is
s equal in respect to character of business to the very best and oldest offices in this
(Jity
. While the Losses have been exceedingly heavy, they have been met with
i-uomptitude ill adjustment, and U the payment of claims, which has elicited the un
' qualified approbation of tho: ; who have been the sufferers. This Company is
determined to maintain its character and cheiut by prompt payment of Loss to the In
sured and this rule will be continued and strictly adhered to in all cases.

THOMAS WHYTE, A gent, Aug. sta.
Extract from the Report of the Agent of the Comptroller of the State of New York.
Hon. 8. E. Churcii, Comptroller, Sec. ... „
Dear Sir Agreeably to your request, 1 have examined, I believe critically
and fully the affairs, condition and assets of the Great Western Insurance and
Trust Company. I have seen and inspected not only their Books, which are well
kept but the Assets under the heads of Cash on .Hand, Bills Receivable, and
Stock Notes, and feel perfectly safe in reporting to you that the four items of
’ "Cash on hand and in the liandsof Agents,” “Unsettled Premiums,” “Bills Re
s ceivable,” and “Stock Notes,” amounting to $93,858, are good, and available to
die Company for that amount, or nearly that amount. I have taken some pains
' to ascertain the value of the Stocks held by the Company, having visited the sev
t end Companies and conversed fully and freely with their respective officers ;
The building belonging to the Company, on the corner of Walnut and Fourth
3 streets, is a very fine free-stone building, well built and admirably arranged ; its
location is one of the best for business purposes in Philadelphia. 1 have called
. upon Hie gentleman who built it, and sold it to tile Company, who informed me
that it cost him over $70,000 cash. I think this property would be a good in
vestment at 576,000.
The Real Estate Mortgages contained in the statement of the Company are all
l good for the amount stated, and cover property worth at least fifty percent, more
than the amount for which they are mortgaged. , ~
From this statement it will be seen that this Company should receive your
' Certificate. 1 desire to add that the Company seems to be intelligen lyand pru
dently managed, and I find that it enjoys the full confidence of tto business men
of Philadelphia. [Signed] , Z/' F,7 v
