H1ANGING A WITCH. AN OLD KEW ENGLAND The Pbte Which OMb11 Jultana Cox.Si ConOcticut. rom the Hl({Ord Times. A friend in Gliastonbury vends us the following account, which had bon cut out of the Times away back in 1823, and pasted in an old scrap-book. Juliana Cox, we ro jpieo to believe, was the only witch tat was over hanged in Connocti. out ; and it is a matter of regret that oven on, such case of supersti tion and shamo can be brought up against the good old State. The place of the execution, on "Gallows Hill," in this city, is now known as4 the commanding trap rock ridge by the "stone-pits." Hero is the ac count: "In tho beautiful town of Glas tonbury, in Connecticut, the fol lowing romarkablo ovont occurred in 1763: In March of that year, one Julius Perry went out with hiks dogs to hunt. ]in tho d,tlh of tho forest ho discovered (as ho alleged) an old gray fox, and his dogs gavo chase. After 9hasing this fox ip wards of two miles, the animal was holed. When Mr. Purry camio ll) ho ho ard a strango noiso over the other sido of the holo, and, going to the spot, he thoro found Juliani Cox lying and panting for breath. Hor loft shouldor was bleoding and had on it the marks of dogs' tooth. This just the spot on the gray fo-'s shouldor whoro the dogs had 3oi2Vd thold. Upon this testimony Misi Cox, a maiden lady of 44, was brought to trial for the capital of fence of being a witch. On her arraignmont sho ploaded not guilty, and it was detoriminod that a Coi.. mittee of Soloctmen should oxamino her person f6r witch nmarks, in or der to introduce confirmatory proofs against her. She was theroforo ro mandod to prison. The following persons wore appointed on the Committee : Ebon Brower, Alexas Jones, and Sanuiel Cutworth. Those men proceeded at once to the prison, and stripping Miss Cor, they began their examination. For a time, exceeding an hour, thiy could find no marks, and Miss Cb) submitted to their examination with I tears and sobs. 1"inally, wlten they pricked many places on her body without success, she confessed to two marks-ono a little boloN-! the right hip, and one on the left arm. The Committee now became satis fied that those were true marks, as the flesh was thereon discolored in a slight degree. They thereupon mUado their report to the Court ap pointed to hear the triat "This evidene, coni'rmning that of Mr. Porry, was thought conclusivo, adon the 3d of April the trial ook place It was thought unne, cossary to resort to furtheor tests, and Mfiss Clox was found gilty of witchoraft on the evidence already quoted, and sentenced to be hanged. Strange noises and dlemons haunted the jail at Hartford up to the timo that her execution took place, which was on the 7th of April, at 5 c'elock ( in the morning. There was a large concourse. of mon and women attonding ber execution, and, although she declared that she was unjustly accused, and that she con fessed to the witch marks to stop, the pain, of being pricked so ornelly by the Committeemen, yet overy person present believed her to be a rume witch and in league with the devil. She further declared that Julius Perry accused her wrong fully. She said she was in the for est gathering-herbs, and that Julius Prycame along and would have his will of her ; that she constantly roN - 1h animal bit her shoulder,. an thth,fearing to be detected in thsbad act, had laid the charge-of witchcraft against her. This she said under the gallows, whereupon * s694t was made among the peO~ plo to 'burn the witch,' as hanging was too easy a death for so foul a strumpet of the devil. While the pa.ople went to fetch wvood to burn hietih sheriff hung her up, so that she, di,e4 orn the, gallows before the wood could be brought. eThis acount of Juliana Cox's witchoraft and death is ab.ridged from the-stat,monA of Dinah.

A dressing which is at once agree able, healthy, and effectual for preserv ing the hair. Faded or gray f hair is soon restored to its originat color, o7ith the gloss and freshnesr of youth. Thin hair Is thickenol, failiu- hair checked, and br-lilc:n3 oitcr, though not always, cured by ita use. Nothing can re atore Che h air where the follicles are destroyed, or the g'ands atrophied and decnyed. '3at such as remain can be eaved fo: usefulness by this application. .:.tead of fouling tie hair with a pastj sediment, it will keep it clean tnd vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling oif, and consequently p-event baldness. Free from those deleterious sub stances which make some prepara tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desir able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white can bric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateftl perfume. PRZPARED BY Dr. J. C.
