Borne oi the most beautiful features in the scenery of the island are the sylvan glens which intersect the mountains. They are very frequent snd analsgous in character but I always found something each, imparting to the whole an endlesav variety.

They all have their accompsnyinr streams, but each with some characteristic-6 of its own one smoothly flowing between banks of vcrdnre and beds of many-hued wild flowers another turbulently rushing between rocky bounds, tufted with fern, and painted by vari-oolored lichens. Interrupted by black ledges, and huge boulders torn from the mountain side and rolled down in some long past age, one of them forms a series of mimic waterfalls, musical the ear and enchanting to the eye then it wanders away halt-hidden, but yet gleaming through tangled briars and brushwood, amid bowers of oak and mountain ash, whose boughs, reaching from side to side, and mingling overhead, form a half shade, through which the sunbeams glanoa and quiver upon the laughing water. Although it was early in the year when came to see this charming island, yet the season was far advanced, giving us the advantage of a mingled spring and summer-all the freshness, vigor, elasticity of the one, A Woman W.ty Years of Age Persons Herself wl A Arsenic-sCero-or' Invcs. tigatlon. The old-and well established opinion, which has prevailed for time "wherein the the momory of man runneth not to the contrary," that "life is sweet" under any circumstances, is meeting with a flat contradiction in the mania for self-murder, we call it nothing else, which prevails, not only in this Immediate locality but throughout I the country to an alarming extent.

It is confined to no particular section of the country, or to any particular class of per sons. The ageu ana tse youtniui; tne rich and the poor; black and white; male and female, all have representatives in eternity who have gone them with the irreparable crime of self-murder on their souls. In fact suicides are ef so frequent occurrence that almost any issue of our city papers con. sin aceountsof one or more. The litwt case fas that of Mrs.

Baird, wife of James Baird, residing at Woods Run, a lady over sixty years of age, who came to her death on Saturday, about four o'clock, from the effects of arsenic, taken wilfully and with the intention of commuting stucicie. me deceased has raised a family of children, and it appears from the evidence adduced at the inquest, which we publish ip full, she had for some time past resided with her son and had complained of bad treatment from his wife, which she assigned as the cause of her rash act. The Coroner held an inquest Saturday evening, when the following facts were elicited: James Itaird, sworn Am the husband of deceased; she was sixty years of age; often said she would leave me, but never threatened to take her life. Mrs. Thompson, sworn Deceased came into my house at half-past eleven o'clock a.

m. Saturday; told me that her husband had seen in the papers that a woman had killed herself with arsenic; she ask me how much arsenic it took to kill a person; I told her I thought ten cents worth would be sufficient; she then went home and some ten minutes afterward was taken sick and I was sent for; her husband gave me a paper which he said she had given him, and I looked and saw it was labeled arsenic; I asked her why she had taken poison and her answer was that trouble induced her to take it; asked what the trouble was, and she replied that her daughter-in-law treated her badly; she spoke no more, except to say that she was burning up in- me; sne uiea auoui touro ciock in tbe afternoon; she was not under the influence of liquor when she was in my house in the morning, but I have frequently seen her so. She wanted me to cook some meat she had bought for her Husband; I did not do it, as I thought she might have put some poison in iu J. IT. MeCready, sworn Am a druggist I at Woods Run; deceoased came to my store aoout one ciock p.

Saturday, and asked for a quarter's worth of arsenic, saying that she wanted it to kill rats and mice; sbe said her daughter-in-law's children were at Kilbuck and would not be at home for two weeks, and that it would be a safe time to poison the rats; gave her one on nee of arsenic and labelled It "poison;" In about two hours afterwards her son came to my store for Dr. Frank: the IKxtor was sick and I went up to the house and gave her an emetic. She never bought poison of me before; had confidence In her; otherwise would not have given her the poison. The jury found that deceased came to her death from the effects of arsenic administered by her own hands. Death from Poison.

Saturday morning, about seven o'clock, Alexander Burns, laborer at Moorhead's mills, in Soho, died suddenly from the effects of a dose of laudanum. Tnedcceaned, for several years past, has been afflicted with rheumatism, in consequence of which he has been unable to work steady, and it is stated by his friends that he frequently took laudanum to relieve the suffering pro. duced by the dUeaae. jfriday evening be statea to some oi nis menus tnat ne would not work the next day, and after eating his supper he went to a drug store in the neigh-j bar hood and ajkel for ten cent worth of laudanum, which was put in a two ounce vial he had brought with him to receive it. After receiving the vial and paying for it he concluded It was not as much as he de- sireu anu requested tne uruggiHt to give mm twenty-nve rents the bottle was tilled.

worth, whereupon He then returned home and retired about nine o'clock that night on the floor of the first room, where it appears be had been accuntomed to sleep for some time past. He said nothing to any of his family or any one else about having the laudanum. The yountrettt daughter went into the room to call him for breakfast, when be answered her, stating that he did not want anything to eat. Mie then left the room, and returned about an hour later, when she found him asleep, and being unable to awake him called her mother and older sister, who came into the room and discovering that there was something wrong ran out aud called in some of the neighbors and sent for Dr. Cutler.

Several ladies came in, but too late to render any assistance, as the unfortunate man expired in a few moments after their arrival. The doctor did not reach the house for several minutes after his death. The eldest daughter npon entering tbe room the first time discovered the bottle which had contained the laudanum lying on the hearth, empty. It was properly label and marked "poison." Coroner Clawson held an inquest on Saturday morning when the jury found That the deceased came to his death on the morning of the 27th of June, from the ellects of laudanum administered by his own hands." The family think that he took an over dose accidentally bnt the facts would war rant a uiderent conclusion. The deceased was about fifty-seven years of age and leaves a wife and four children, the youngest of whom is about fourteen years old.

la ft ratal Meeting of Principals of Pittsburgh Nchesls. An informal meeting of the City Superintendent and Principals of the Public Schools of Pittsburgh was held on Saturday afternoon In the Chapel of the Central High School. The object of the meeting was to consult in regard to the establishment of a uniform grade of studio in ths different departments of all the schools. Heretofore It seems that each ward has acted independently in this matter, but since the consolidation of the city and the consequent enlargement ot the school system, It is deemed advisable to have it methodically arranged so as to prevent all clashing, and establish a regular management throughout the city. As the affair was merely preliminary nothing waa done beyond tbe Interchange of views and the appointment of a committee to take tbe sub.

Ject Into consideration. There waa quite a favorable expression of opinion in regard to the establishment of dty normal school, suggestion which we would like to? see carried out. Beaten by a Woman. James Langen made information before the Mayor, on Saturday, charging Jane Murphy with assault snd battery. It appears that Mis.

Murphy's husband rented room in tne prosecutor's house which he snd his family occupied, and on Saturday Lsngen being slightly drunk went into Mrs. Murphy's room and demanded of her the rent. She informed him that her husband aid tbe rent snd that he must look to him or it. Langen swore If she did not pay It ho would put ber out of the house, and she says took hold of her tor that purpose. She picked op frying pan and dealt him a blow on the head which knocked him down snd cut a severe cash la hie scalp.

Mrs. Murphy was arrested snd held for hearing. I 1 i I I I i i Last evening about nine o'clock the dwel ling bouse of Mr. John Young, corner of 1 Webster street and North alley, was made the scene of one of the boldest robberies which, we have chronicled for a long time. It appears that while the family were in the front part of the house, a man, who is described a low, thick-set personage.

climbed up on a low porch in the rear of the building, it through an gaining access from open window to the premises on the second floor. For a while, as he made no noise, no attention was attracted to the scene of his operations, of which be seems to haye taken the best advantage, cutting open a trunk and scattering the contents around the room, rummaging through closets, wardrobes and dressing bureaus, collecting a considerable quantity of booty. He had almost finished his operations, when one of the children becoming restless, Mrs. Young proceeded with a lamp up stairs to nut it to hd. at the head of the stairs she met the intruder, who was coming out of one oi me irom rooms with bis plunder.

With an oath at being intercepted he raised a club which he carried and struck at the lamp, endeavoring to knock it out of her hand, bnt missed his mark. The lady being almost frightened to death gave a loud scream to her son-in-law, who came running up, being too late, however, to catch the assailant, who escaped through the window at which he had entered, to the roof. His disappearance was so sudden that several persons who were passing through the alley at the time said they noticed no person jumping from the porch. It was surmised be had taken refuge in one of the adjoining buildings. Acting on this supposition, the police were summoned and made a thorough examination of the surrounding premises, failing, however, to find the object of their search.

It is not known how much he was enabled to carry away, as the contents of the trunk, which seems to have had his special care, are unknown. Two of the coats which be had secured from the wardrobe were dropped in his flight, but the rest of the booty, whatever it was, he succeeded in taking with him. The robbery at such an early hour in the evening and in such a populous part of the city, was certainly one oi extreme boldness ana audacity. Body Found Foul Play Suspected, Yesterday evening, between three and four o'clock, tne body of a drowned man was found in the Monongahela river, at the foot of Market street, by some boys who were playing on the wharf, and on being brought to chore was identified as that of Patrick McOracken, a shoemaker from Brownsville. It appears that McCracken, in company with J.

B. Wbite, from Madison, Indiana, Henry Sheppard and Christ. the cook on the "Messenger," were together Friday night at O'Rourke's tavern. where they remained until after eleven o'clock, when they left, all being more or less Intoxicated. White and McCracken, according to White's aboard of the steamer Armadillo to sleep, and when tbey got on board McCracken was so drunk that he could not get up stairs, and was left lying In the engine house.

White, however, went up to the cabin and slept until morning, and on coining down to look for McCracken found his bat in the engine room, bat the man was gone. He enquired for him at O'Rourke's but failed to hear anything of him, and nothing more was said about the matter antil yesterday morning, when It appears White came up to the Mayor's ofhee and stated the fact i that McCracken had been miming since Friday night, but gave none of the particu- lant of his disappearance. After the body had been found and Identified oinc-r Mesi-. ner arretted Whit and took hiui to th lock-up to await the t'oroner's inTentiga-tiiin. which will tilt a rtlttCA thia riw.rvintv White is a native of Madison, Indians, but has recently Nen eniraped in the dental business in SL.

Ixiuix, from whencshe came to this city about two weks since on the steamer "Kate Robinson" in the capacity of cabin boy. His object in coining here was to get employment at the dental btini-neM. At wkicht he has workiHl for wvmii years past, but failing to obtain work of that kind mmlAitrin tn I Jllliavtlla sin the tow boat "Mary Ann" at sAcond cook, returning to this city the firt of luxt wek. He gives his statement with considerable frankness, and hi storyts a plausible one, so that it is probable that McCracken's death was purely accidental. The nirmiaghain Passenger Railway.

The Pittsburgh and Birmingham Passenger Railway Company have completed the double track on their line to the Postofnce switch; between Grosvenor and Denman streets. The work of laying the additional track from the western line of the borough to its present terminus, which has beeu under progre for some weeks past, was completed Saturday evening, and the first car passed over it at seven o'clock. At nine o'clock Friday night the cars stopped running for tbe purpose of giving the workmen time to make the connection with the Postoffice switch and with the terminus of the donble track at the eastern bonudery of Huth Pittsburgh, with tbe intention of completing the work In time for the first car the next morning. Tbe entire force went to work at the two points named and labored faithfully all night, and on Saturday until seven o'clock, leiore the work was finished. The cars having all been taken the upper end of the road Friday night, the result was that no cars were running on this end Saturday until the time mentioned.

The delay caused considerable dissatisfaction on the part of our Southside neighbors, but as It was unavoidable they could censure no one for It. We doubt exceedingly if they have ever had a full appreciation of the advantages of the road until they were deprived of its benefits. The road is one of the best managed Institutions in the city, and will now be enabled to offer greater accommodations to its patrons. United States liutrlct Ceurt Judge MclVudleaa.

Although the season for interior and exterior painting of our places of residence and business has pretty far advanced, etill there remains much work of this character to be done.

On Sunday morning between one and two o'clock, some gentleman of tbe "knuck" persuasion entered a private residence on Ridge street, Allegheny, and without waiting for the formality of invitation, proceeded to go through in regular professional style. Entering through the kitchen, he first made his way to the larder and helped himself to its tainties in a manner which spoke well for his appetite, though the means be used to gratify it were not, to say tbe leaxt, in accordance with the rules of strict honesty.

Having thus refreshed the Inner man, be turncu his attention to something more substantial In the shape of costly set of til ver spoons, a set of knives anil forks, and a laree silver pitcher and but apparently Incoming alarmed, ither by the Kt intra of an outraged conscience, or more likely by a noise indicating that some of the family were awake, he made a hasty exit from tho premises, leaving the Litcher and waiter on the steps the itclisn outside, retaining only as a memento of his visit the lighter but none tbe liiss valuable articles.

Primitive Climate of the Earth. The primitive atmosphere of the eartrk was greatly richer in carbonic acid than the present, and therefore unfit for the respiration of the warm-blooded animals.

The-agency of plantb in purifying the atmosphere was long ago pointed out, and the great deposits of fossil fuel have been derived frcin the decomposition of this excess of carbonic aeid by the ancient vegetation. In thiB connection the vegetation of former periods presents the phenomenon of tropical plants growing within the polar circle. Prof. T. Sterry Hunt considers as onsatis-factory the ingenious hypotheses proposed to account for the warmer climate of ancient times, and thinks that the true solution of the problem is to be found in the constitution of the early atmosphere, when considered in the light of Dr.

Tyndall's researches on radiant heat. He has found that the presence of a few hundredths of carbonic acid gas in the atmosphere, while offering almost no obstacle to the passage of the solar rays, would suffice to prevent almost entire the loss by radiation of obscure heat, so that the surface of the land. beneath such an atmosphere, would become-like a vast orchard house, in which tbe conditions of climate necessary to a luxuriant vegetation would be extended even to the polar regions.
