And the rattlesnake lifts hi a fanp,
And warns from the leaves among. .
A lonely, beautiful spot, j
With its fairy laughter now,
Strangely recalling thu past '

Of the hurrying ridr that Wl,
And obedient steed that ran,
And the fright, and the tall, and the death,
In the bailing ledge's van.

Of Breakneck aud its rocks, , .

Report of a Boakd of Visitors. The
Sanitary Committee ot the board ot Health made
a special visit on Saturday to Maninaville, in
the extreme southern end of Philadelphia.
The following Is their report made to tho Board
yesterday: The Committee, utter referring to
the condition 'of atlalrs in the vicinity ot the
Kavy Yard, say that there is another cause tor
the bad air artectrag the c iinfort of the Navy
Yard otlicers. and often driving the crew from
the upper deck of the vessels anchored in the
river an offensive and r lckening odor, which
. your Committee inhaled a mile beloie ttiey
reached the source of its emanation. This whs
the hon-pens at Martins.iile, nearly half a mile
Your Committee visited this infected district,
located on the meadows, on the Point-bouse
road, a most desolate and lilthy neighborhood,
aud altogether unsuited for families; and nothing
lius saved them lrom the influence of the dirt
they live in but a pure atmosphere that comes
sweeping over the rich meadows in the vicinity.
This settlement contains a population of about
sixty poor tamiiies of the very lowest descrip
tion in morals, and every family having another
family of hogs, with scarcely an exception,
containing from Ave to twenty-tive in number,
wallowing In extreme filth, while their yards
and other surroundings are not only heaped up
, with hog and boree manure, but the ground
is spotted with puddles of otfensive mud and
, filthy water, and having hogsheads of putrefy
ing Kuciien garoaiie, coiieciea tnrougnout tU2
city by their slop-curts.
JNo de
lescriDtion we can furnish will convev an
adequate idea of the ftctid atmosphere we were
breathing, of the number of hoes, their tilth,
the unusual quantity of dirt and rubbish and
other retuse in the yards, the full and foul
privies, the utter want of drainage, the condi
tion of the houses and their occupants, half
civilized, and half human beings, living in igno
rance and wretchedness, with a ditch of stag
nant water on either cide, and the whole settle
ment subject to an overtlow during the spring
tides.
It was a task of no small danger to visit this
Jilace, to brave tho risk of lever and other ln
uries to health, and come in contact with men
and women living in such squalid wretched
ness. The cholera had preceded us, and had
carried off a number of the inhabitants, and
we found in two houses a man and woman lu
the collapsed stage of the disease, dying; and
should no sanitary relief come to their assist
ance, tLia malignant diseuse will soon wipe out
the settlement.
Your Committee believe there is no other
remeily for nutting a top to this disease in this
ill-fated town than to remove the hogs and the
other inhabitants, disinfect the place, and
board It uo until cold weather, and before they
return have it thoroughly cleansed and disin
fected. But the idea occurroJ, what would become of
the kitchen garbage reaioved by these tilth
gatherers throughout the lower district of our
city? In the dut theae people are, isolated
from any other population; but while they re
main there, a remedy may be afforded as it
was thought best to remove the manure, cleanse
and dislntect the entire settlement from time to
time, watching carefully the premises during
tbe hot months, as the only and best remedy
that could be devised unaer the circumstances.
In furtherance of this suggestion, your com
mittee ordered disinfectants to be employed at
once, and continued until the Board could take
lnrlher action in the case.
The report was signed by Wilson Jewell, M.D.,
Messrs. E. Ward and W illiam Head.
Thk One Hundiud and Fifty Dol
lar Bwihdle. Gotham, the centre of "swin
dleization," has lately perpetrated the following
upon our citizens. It is but a sample of the
many schemes that are afloat:

company at one hundred and ilttpldollars ($160).
l'leate remit five dollars, amount due ior tickets, and
tbe prize will be sent by express. Youra.respeottully,
J. D. Miller, President.
Such a communication was received by E. K.
Tryon, one of our Philadelphia detectives.
That gentleman ha 1 been informed of such a
paper being circulated throughout the city, and
having heard parties inquiring about the matter
at the Central Police Station, concluded to in
vestigate the subject, and in order to do .so he
replied to the communication receive! by him,
requesting the prize to bu .-ent to his address,
and on receipt of which ho would pay tne
money. Mr. Tryon h;ul at once formed his
opinion as to the object of the letter, but in
order to expose the scheme and put our citizens
on their guard, he anscred the communication.
In reply to his letter he received tbe following:
August 15, 1866 Dear Sir: Your package will be
gent to-morrow by Adams Express; cost $6; the
extra dollar fur returu ctiar"-8. Yours, ;
j . J. Gramokb, Car. Sec.

dred and fifty shares, ut one dollar per share.
Tbe capital ftoek of the concern was represented
at 1 000 000. The woituk'cs certificate was in
dlllerentiy engraved, ana on very poor paper,
it was numbered 1117, urn!, by appearance, one
is led to believe that the paper was eotten up
expressly tor swindlinir purposes. Accompany
ing the certilicate a the following:

A number of our citiens have been victim

The Tekalty of an Abusive Tongue.
In the Quarter Sessions, yesterday, a woman
was tried and convicted of stealing from a hou.e

Immediately alter the verdict of euilty the pro
secutor spoke to the Judge privately, aud asked
that he would be merciful in imposing the sen
tence, inc prisoner was toui ti stand up. an4
the Judge remarked that the prosecutor having
interceded tn behalf of the defendant, ho would
be merciiul, and sentenced her to six months
imprisonment. A few minutes after, when the
prosecutor was standing near the prisoner, she
oegan to aDuse mm, using most offensive lan
guage. He appealed to the Judge to protect
him from the woman's slanders, and Judge
Ludlow said that her conduct was so bad, after
w hat had just transpired, that be felt she was not
a proper subject for the clemency ot the Court to
be exercised upon, and he changed the sentence
from six months to one year.

German citizens of the Tenth Precinct of the

of the finest of the season. The thermometer,
lrom six o'clock in the morning until three
