There is probably. no single event in
New England history that has acquired

ton of twenty witches in SSsiem village, in
1902. ,sOn what is this notoriety founded ?
lis certainly not ON the fact that the de-
lusiop here origialed for It is old as
the annals Of history or revelation go ack.
"Thou +" shalt not suffeF-a witch TO I've"
(Ex. 22-ls) is an Injunction of the.Hebrew
code. Numa, fhe Roman lawgiver, appeal
ing to popular belief among his country
men, pretended that he had reyelations
from the unseen world. In heathen coup
tries the belief in diabolism is universal,
and, instead of being q reprqach to hold
such intercourse, to be q niagician is to be
Rlphiloscpher. In the thirteenth century
Pope Innocent VIII issued bull against
witches. a single Judge i'm the District
of Lorraine in France, from 1880 to 1895,
condemned aud caused 10 be executed
more than nine hundred PERSONS for witeh-
craft. Ty cho Brahe, the prince of astroDo-
mers, kept an idiot, and listeDed to lIis in
coherent mumblings as revelations from
the spirit world. Martin Luther believed
that the Devil at.night brought him hazel,
nuts and cracked them OF his bed-post.
From 1000 to 1900 there were witch trials
all over Europe ;hupdreds were hanged in
Englaiiti, aud thousands inScotlaad. James
Howell, clerk OF his Majesty's Privy CoLn,
Gil, writing to friend iml646, says: awe

Essex and Suffolk there were about two
hundred indicted within these two years
and abont the one-half of them were exc
