Women Were Barred.

One of the stories told by Marco Polo,
tation for veracity, was of an island on
which no women lived or were permitted
to live. It was not then generally known
that such a condition of things is not
absolutely unique. Iona island, one of the
Hebrides, where St. Columbia died, was
long forbidden to women, even the keep
ing Of COWS was prohibited. 1t was for
hidden even to bury a woman on the isl
and, and the consorts Of the beings buried
there were given sepulchre on neighbor
ing island. It may interest the women
readers to know that their sex was finally
avenged by the placing of a nunnery on
Iona. Many other places in which the
laws were us strictly unjust may be
learned of through investigation.

A Scheming Letter.

Thursday last the Selinsgrovep post
master received a letter postmark-
ed Camden, y. j., October 20 and
signed by Il. Mack which has caus-
ed considerable excitement in that
place. The writer claims to have
overheard a conversation between
several parties from this place
wherein plot to set fire to stores
and residences in Selinsgrove, Sun
bury, Lewistown and Belletonte for
the purpose OF robbery, was discuss
ed. An old peddler from Middle
burgh, whose name is given in the
letter, was mentioned as the man
selected to apply the torch. The
postmaster was requested to warn
DR.. Wagenseller to be on the look
out and the writer promised to
write again from McNeytown.
This letter was written not for
the purpose of doing any good, but
more likely for the purpose of in
juring Il man whose name was men
toned in the letter. The gentle
man at present is in the south which
at once proves the talsity of the
story.
