-one Of those extraordinary notions
deep rooted in the popular mind which
defy human ingenuity to aualyze or ex-
plain. To prevent the threatened ca
iamity the country people resolved 70
oppose the removal by force. On the
morning on which the exhumation was
10 take place, the population OF the dis
trict, armed with the miscellaneous
weapons that the farm yard affords, rose
en- masse against the strangers, aud
drove them and their assistants out OF
the graveyard. The parish priest was
appealed 10, and strove to reason the
people out of their absurd apprehensionsi
but his influence, allpowerful in every
thing else, failed to make an impression
on their superstitious fears. The people
still refuse TO permit the body to be re-
moved, and mount guard day and night
over the grave. The friends Of the de-
ceased are determined not to allow their
pious mission to be frustrated by a pop
ular superstition, and 1t is stated that the
aid of the military will be called on II
other influence cannot induce the people
to desist from their cruel and insensi6le
opposition to the removal OF the body.

gar Passing through the great stock
raising State of Illinois you see fields of
all sizes covered with cattle-often sew
eral hundred in single field. 1t is said
this single State furnishes New York
with more live stock than all the other
States together The total number of
cattle sold in New York for 1866 is re-
ported at 29S, 1862 lead, of which Illinois
furnished l65, 2s7. The aggregate value
of all for that year is estimated at up
wards of thirty-three million dollars, and
the portion furnished by Illinois alone
at upwards of eighteen millions. Why
should not our southern planters take
the hint and enter as competitors for the
stock market2 The State of Mississippi,
for instance, has hitherto grown cotton
almost exclusively, and thought that
cotton was king. That State has made
its 100000 bales, and received twenty
millions for it in times gone never to
return. But Illinois saved twice as much
from her eighteen millions as Mississippi
ever did from her twenty. And besides
Illinois has made largely from her other
staples and manufactures, which Missis-
sippi, Alabama and Louisiana did only
10 a small extent. May not these States
enter prcftably into a competition which
demands less labor, and which for that
reason now especially suits so well their
present condition. We think that every
planter who renounces cotton for stock
will be acting a patriotic part, besides
promoting his individual interest by it.
Cotton raising is played out" and we
hope our friends will adapt themselves
to their new circumstances, and turn
their attention to a more certain, com

Gcyond all other mountains of the Blocks
berg range, the wild solitudcs of the Hart2
have beer, from time nmcmorial, supposed to
be the haunts of ghosts, cGns and. spectrcs
The inhabitants Of this iicighborhooa are, fol

naturally ilnbued with the local superstition
| On many occasions they have attributed to the

Long ago this. demon used to hold frequent
communications com with tho people in that dis
trict; he used often to mcddlc, in their affairs,
rather for the purpose of doing them good
than Of ,injurng them. But it was observed
that Ills Kindness generally turned .unhappily
to those who were the recipients of it. The
clergyn1en, in long sermons, frequently OK
horted their locks to cease holding any com
munication with him. It happened that on
one day, the preacher mounted the pulpit in
the church Of Margcnbrodt, for the purpose of
'cxpatiating on the pervcrity of the inhabi-
tants, in still continuing to communicate with
fairies, and gobins and demons, but iii particu-
lar with. him Of tho Hartz. These snpcrsti-
tious people laughed at the zeal with which
thoir venerable pastor held forth Upon this
point. AT last the heat of his discourse aug
mcnted in proportion to the spirit Of opposition
which he. met; but tho congregation could not
suffer that demon, who had been so peaccli-
bic for hundreds Of years, should bo compared
to Astaroh and Bcclxebub. The fear. also. of
tEe demon plmisling tlrem for listening to such
sermons, was added to.thc interest which thoy

The peasants did not long restrain their ro.
seftnient; pcltihg him with stones, they hunted

go and preach to others against demons I,
