rreffCßA FT IN TEE 19TH CENTURY.--A curious
circumstance, showing that even at this time of day the
superstitious belief in witchcraft among individuals in the
county is not yet altogether extinct, happened last week
in the rovoil' Milk, A small thrmer there had a cow, from
which the milk fell away, and believing it was caused by en
evil eye," sent fbr a person professing to have the power
of discovering the agent of the mischief. When he was
called, and Crummy's condition explained to him, he ot a
hen's egg, blew it, and filled the shell with milk,
gavegit to
the owner of the Qaw, and told him to go round to all the
neighbours with it, and that when on holding the end of it
up ho tbund the milk did not drop in the house where he
did so, there was the destroyer of his cows. The simple
man did as he was desired. From walking, the milk natu-
rally became churned, and at a certain house would not
drop. The result was, that the occupier, a. woman, was
pronounced to be the witch. A very serious conference was
held by the owner of the cow and his friends, as to what
then should be done. The projector of the witch's discovery
was called: Re told them the only thing now for them was
to get a nail and scratch the brow of the sorceress, when
the milk would again come to the cow. in* was actually,
managed, but the cow was, of course, 414 beiter from the ex-
eriment.—Perth Ouriqr%
