Witchcrafts

The BrownAille Ranchero says that
one of those barborous acts, the execu-
ton of witches, was recently consumma-
ted in the town of Ahualtecco. On the
4th of January, 1869. in the town Of
Ahualtecco, district Of Matamoras, State
Of Puebla, a woman was hung and burn
ed, said to be witch; another woman
was also logged most cruelty for the
sane offense: the son of the latter tigur
ed among those who fogged her. The
mere annunciation of this deed needs no
comment. filling with shame and sorrow
and covering with dread the defenders
and perpetrators of the crime. The fol
lowing are the versions Of the affair -
Regarding the first, which was ccmmu-
nicated to the press. the missing of an
OK was the cause of the tragedy. A wo
man, who professed to be witch, vas
asked to reveal the whereabouts of the
animal, which she failed to do; she was
taken and hung to tree, shot at, and
then plunged into the flames until she
expired. TIE body was buried in the
cemetery, but on the following day was
exhume1 By order of the curate Of the
town, who protested against having the
remains of witch inferred in consecra-
ted ground. The husband of the unfor
tunate woman lid himself, fearing that
he might be made to share the same fate.
The Mayor Of the city had not only an
thorized this proceeding. but had also
been the principal perpetrator. Acccr-
ding to the second narrative, which ema-
mates from thu Governor of Puebla,
man bv the name of Manual Rojan,
anxious to know if Maria Clara Austu-
sia. was witch, took her out to the out
skirts of the town and commenced to
beat her severely Here he was joined
by four other individuals, and to make
the unfortunate woman confess her sup
posed crime. they hung her to n tree, at
first by the arms and then by the neck.
Being thus tortured, Maria Clara admit
ted that she was a witch and denounced
two other women as her acconplices. af
ter which she soon expired The per-
petrtors went in search of the other two
women, but one of them was braveIy
defended bv the husband, the other was
taken out and fogged by the party. and
among the number was her own son,
Manual Rojan. The Governor of Pue-
bla has taken the necessary measures 10
have the perpetrators of this horrible
crime punished.

By THOMAS HOOD.
Alas, I have walked through life
Too needless where / trod,
Nav. helping to trample my fellow-worm,
and fill the burial-sod;
Forgetting that even the sparrow laiis
Not unmarked of God.
The wounds I might have healed
The human sorrow and smart;
And yet it never was in my soul
To play so ill part; ....
But evil is wrought by want of thought
AS well as want of heart
The Robins Mace Come Beck Again.
There's call upon the housetop, an answer from
the plain,
There's MARBLE in the sunshine, q twitter in the
rain,
And through my, heart at sound OF tnese,
There comes nameless thrill,
AS sweet as odor to the rose, s
Or verdure to the hill;
And all these joyous mornings,
NV heart pOurs forth this strain;
ssGOd bless the dear old robins,
Who have come back again"
For they bring thought of summer, OF dreamy,
luscious days.
OF Kingcups in the meadow, making golden haze;
A longing for the clover blossoms,
For roses all aglow,
For fragrant blossoms, where the bees,
With drOning murmurs go;
dream of all the beauties.
OF summers golden reign.
And sing: God keep the robins,
Who have come back again"
