would be inclined to laugh heartily at ehe
grave account of the DEVILS amorous prac-

dron, was burned for witch, ana the par
ticulars of her crime are detailed IN an exact
summary of the froceSa peroat as iolioWs'-
"Michelle, having met the Devil as nc was
going out of the town, the Devil gave her
kiss, received her homage, and imprinted on
herupperlip and right breast the mark winch
it is his custom to aflix on all persons wnom ne
recognizes as his fayoritcs. Ihs seal OF the
Devil is small sign-manucl, which, as ue-
neurological urisconsults Affirm, renders t'ie

lc Chaudron to bewitch two girls; ana she
Immediately obcycd her lord. Inc relatives
Of the Young women udicially charged hef
with deyilish practices, and the girls them
selves were intcrrogatcd, and confronted
with the accused. They testified that thev
constantly felt Il swarming OF ants IN certain
parts of their bodies, and they were possessed.
The ply sicians were then called H. or AT
least those who then passed tor physclans.
They visited the girls, and sought on MI
chcl's body for the Devils seal, which the
proccss-yerbai calls the Satantic marks. hey
thrust a large needle into the spot, aud tins
itself was Il grievous torture Blood ilowcd
from the puncture; and Michele made
known, by her cries, that Satanic marks 40
not produce inscnsibilty. The Judges, see
ing no satisfactory evidence that Michele
ChauSron was d witch, had her put to the
torture, which never fails to bring forth
proofs. The unfortunate girl, yielding at
length to the violence of her tormcnts, CON
tessed what ever was required OF her. nc
physicians again sought for the Satamc marx.
They found it in a small dark spot en one OF
her thighs. They applied the needle; but
the torture had been so excessive, that the
poor expiring creature scarcely felt the
wound; she did CRY out; therefore, the crime
wasnot satisfactorily proved, But, as smanner
were becoming less rude, she was not burn
