young lady had actually been apprehended a. te IN

moment in the prison of Glasgow the charge Of sus

OF this kind difficult to be had but 1t Is believed
that the following recital is authentic far as it goes
II appears that ON Monday, the I'D OF March last,

The result of the analysis WAS the discovery IN the

goy from which he returned rather unexpectedly on
the night Of Sunday the I'D ult., and leaving his

Sunday night Is not yet publicly known but In resort
ing to the extreme step Of apprehendng Miss Smith,
ths authorities doubt acted on the fact, which i,
not disputed, that than one occasion the lady,
who i. only Il years of age, procured arsenic during
the month Of March at the shops OF more than one OF
the Glasgow West End chemists. The possession ID
this poison however is compatible with entire nno
cence for it is known that arsenic is occasionally used
BY young ladies cosmetic. The thought that a
highly and yirtuousy bred young lady could destroy
her lover, is too appalling tor belief; but the public
voice supplies a reason the circumstance that zen

sition in lie than that occupied by LAngelier had be-
come Il -uor for the young hdy- hand and that he
had been accepted by her and her parents. This
