.H1rUstious-A negro woman, the
/ wife Of man belonging to Mr.. John
Baker, and living on bis place about two
miles from Winchester, has created
| nine davs' wonder, and is the subject Of
conversation in our scientific circles
4 Her Uranium had been for some time
Fdisordered, until at length consulta-
ton of blacks was held, and she was
pronounced bewitcied. An old negro,
noted for his skill in the occult mystic
ries, was applied to. who, after prepar
ing the patient for the grand opera ton
by few doses of powders, ordered
I've chicken to be ripped open, and the
warm flesh instantly held to the back of
her neck. During the application the
demoniac was in torrents, and display
ed extraordinary contortions with great
PHYSICAL strength, so much so that it
took several persons to hold her The
effect Of the application, however, was
the extracting of three SNAKES so called
by the negroes) from the witch's neck,
three or four inches long, and as thick
as pipe stem! One or two more such
applications, it is thought bv the occult
faculty, will effect a perfect cure.
This account we have had from per-
sons of yeraeity. It is as true as that
there is hessian fly or cut worm in
the country; and we offer it to the jack
son editors to be added to the wonder
ments Of the present administration.
The Boston Journal states that 'Sir

Woolsack, and Peefage, was born at
Boston. His father was the celebra

seen ia many public and private pia

Is said to have fixed his eye upon the
IiFSt law ONCE IN the klngdom, at an
early period, and TO have constantly
bent his efforts to its attainment. A
person who knew him in Eng land,
when he first commenced the prac
tlce, informed US, some years ago, that
no solicitations of friends, no allure
ments of pleasure, could induce him to
leave his office until after the hour of
ten, except on Sunday evenings: and
on that evening only could his family
and friends have the qualification of
his company. The success of such
men as Copley and Canning illustrates
