Ouer s ~es. (Fro the Boston Commercial BulelUn.) The earliut ter in the Mathpr. papers that 8ilt4 e to the 'dehsot;.bf witchcraft i "T e testimouy of WiI' i 1am Mors nd-4 s wife," relatink cer fajn vents that 9courre .at .his house 'ih149, which were' believed to be the result of witchcraft. This testimony was Inclosed in a letter froin the ltv. Joshua Moodey to the 'Rev. Increase Maher. "The last thing heard of," t says the venerable divine, "was (he b -carrying away of several axes in the "'night notwithstanding they were INid c up, yea, lockt up very safe, as the t owner thought, at least, which was ',done this spring." The tramp had a ovidently not yet been invented for the benefit of the careless. It seems thit Master Mors and his e wife had but just retired for the night when they were roused by the violent falling of "Stokes & Stons". on the roof. On opening the door to discover the cause of these nocturnal disturb ances both he ayd his. wife were dt+iven back by a volley of stones hurled against them. The pair dis crectly returned to bed, locking the door carefully behind them, but. at about midnight were again awakened by the loud grunting of a hog lv ich the 1aster of the house was at ime tr4tble to drive out of doors. The. powers of darkness did not confine their pranks to the pight, but continued their performances in broad daylight. llousehold goods, hung in the chimney for safe keeping, leaped from their 'hooks and took possession of the chairs, and other articles fled from their accus toned places and fell rattling dow n the chimney. Among .other artieles, he ,says: "A basket in the chamber. com doun the chimney. 1 tocko it up myselfe and laid.it, befor'c me; it was sudinly taken away I know not how and coin doun the chinny again. I thci took a brick and put into it and sald It should carry that if it did goo up againe. It was taken away I know not how and com doun the chiimny and th% brick * * * after it." ihe godly nMan was sorely plagued by the continual falling of stones on the roof and even of lighted firewood down the chitney. Swine invadedcl !his house and it was impossible for him and his hired boy to keep the cat tie fastened in the barn. Pots, kettles and andirons perforined a witche's dance around the kitchen, and neither sheets nor blankets would stay npon the bed. Chairs woulf then perforim a polite obeisance and theu violently kicked the master and mistress of the house. 1"inally the writer concludes: "A mate of a ship coming often to me and said lie was much grieved for us, and said the boye was the Cause of oll my (rubble and my wife was lunch Ronged and was no wich1 and if I would Let him have the boy but bion Day he would warent. 110 more trueel.

The second letter vouching for sup aAry witch-like occuirrences wis writ ten at Hadley in .1(8:i, and by no less a worthy than the Rev. Jolmi Russell, the kindly protector of tle regicides, Gofle aud Whalley.'

'ITus it conitinueid till No Temnbcr, about which time said I )is aq~~' barn was b,urnit; "'no mni kA~,hpw, but, very siranggely ; and fc1Wteably to his loss."

This same f all of 1683 seems to have l~~ialiy blessed or cuirsod wit h al mfto :bf,Witchm work, for lato ini ASiiorhat,, year the R1ev. John Higg utson, of.

The second story which Dr. Ilig inson tells in all seriousness would q worthy of a place in the ranks of iose innumerable folk lore stories of argains with the devil,. if the expla atIons were not so patent to all ox opt sage doctors of divinity two cen uries ago. It seems"that somewhere it Essex, England, a young man greed with the devil to preach abso. ate atheism, 'that there 'was neither Tod, devil, heaven nor hell. In ext hange for this service he was to attain vordly distinction and a great rcputa ion for wisdom. All at first went wiminingly' with this seventeenth entury Bob Ingersoll until the ap >roach of death. Then he straight vay avowed his belief, not only in )1radise,wbut in punishment, and died niserably in instant expection that t egion of fiends would carry him, a iccond or ratho a foreshadowed )on 'iovanni, to the sulphurous pit. The same 1)r. Moodey mentioned above can not let the'birth of an un fortunate ndnstrosity occur without finding in it something of witchcraft, and. he gravely writes to Bototn in September, - 1683, a minute descrip tion of a poor distorted infant that was brought, forth by an Indian womnan, as a terrrible warning of things present and to come. le concludes: "Doubt less you have hearn how watt ers are with us, I beg your prayers."

These -extraordinary statements were sent to l)r. Mather, as lie was at that tile compiling a volume, or rather volumnes, ealled "Rtemarkable Providences," which he published in I;84. These utncouthl an(1 garblel tales were accepted as absolutely cor rect, not only by superstitions country people, hut by the most learncil scholars in America and England.
