We are indebted to Mr. Glover, Of the
Senate, for a copy Of the annual report
of the Trustees Of the Ohio Deaf aud
Dumb Asylum, to, the present Legisla.
ture. The report announces the cOntin-
ued prosperity Ofthe institution, and the
increasing number ofits inmates. There
are now seventy-nine pupils; Of whom
sixty-seyen are from this State, and the
remainder principally from the adiOi ming
States. Since the Asylum was opened,
in 1879, there have been one hundred
and nihety-nins different pupils ia III
and il is mentioned, as a remarkable cir
cumstance, that but one death (and that
by casualty has taken place during that
time; the pupils having enjoyed almost
uninterrupted health. This exemption
from disease is ascribed principally 10 the
heaIthiness Of location, and tho regularity
Ofhabis in respect Of diet, exercise, sleep
and study.

OHIO LEGISLATURE.

The Senate we've engaged all day Sat-
urday, the 18th, and the greater part Of
Monday, the 18Th, discussing the bill To-
project camp meetings. 1t was recon-
milted to committee Of One--Mr. Clio
yer. On the 18th Mr.. Green (wbig) in
troduced into the Senate a bill 10 incor-
porate the Safety Fund Bank Of Ohio;
which was read tho first time. There
are now four bank bills before the Legis.
lature; two si them having been intro
duced by wings, and two by democrats.
Three Of these, (ifnO more, must fail. 1t
is difficult even to guess whether any
one will pass.
Mr.. Nye's bill was ordered to be on
crossed for it's third reading, by vote of
45 tn lS, at two o'clock ON Tuesday
morning the 10Th, the House having been
in session from two o'clock p, M. ON the
preceding day, (l2 hours) The bill
has probably ere this passed the House
and been sent 10 the Senate. We do
not learn thai any material point was
conceded to the democratic members,
who desired to give the people voice in
the control Of the banks, and TO attach
some individual responsibility 10 the
stockholders. The excuse the whig mem
bers give for their conduct is, that mon
eyed men might be deferred by such re-
slrictiOns from taking stock. We have
never yet heard Of a bank charter that had
to 60 begging for stockholders. Even
in Scotland, whore every stOckhOlder is
responsible, to the extent Of his last far
:hing, for the debts Of the bank, they
have an abundance Of banks and bank
bills. And these banks very seldom
fail; but if they fail, the loss falls where
it ought to, upon those who are benefited
most by banking, and by whose misman.
agement the failure was caused.

drawn from them. Finding themselves
unable longer TO bold OUl, the banks then
followed the lead of the great regulator,
and again suspended. Great excitement
is said to have prevailed among the CHI

After the suspension Ofthe U. s. Bank,
one Of it's creditors citedit TO appear BY

LITERARY SOCIETIES.

Within few years past literary Socie-
ties Of different kinds have been formed
in most Of the cities and large towns
ofthe United States. Their rapid in.
crease in numbers is sufficient proof Of
their utility. Some are formed for the
purp ,se of hearing scientific lectures.
the subjects and sources Of which are SO
varied as seldom 10 tire OT fail to interest
the hearer. These are now so numerous
in some Oflhe large eastern cities as to
be fast superSeding the theatres and 9th.
er less profitable aud more vicious places
Of amusement. .s...ga.gs s..ae
In small cities and towns where lee.
lures are more difficult to be had,
debating societies are formed, which are
probably fully as beneficial as the other
kind; and perhaps more so, if the socie-
" be supplied with a good library, from.
which its members may obtain the infor-
nation generally given in lectures.
A friend has sent Us the following ac-
count of the Vi af al ss

This society has only been in existence
three months, and already numbers so
members, among whom there is to be

tlemen, who would not disgrace our Leg.

Societies. A constitution has already
been adopted for a Library and Il
is highly probable that in the course Of
