THE RESULT OF DRINKING WATER
POISONED BY DEAD ToADS.
Some days ago Mr.. Alexander Higbie,
prominent resident Of Springfield, town
of Jamaica, Long Island, noticed pim-
pie coming on his upper lip, near the en-
trance to the right nostril. 1t grew
rapidly in size and the adjacent parts
soon began to swell. Some one who pre-
tended to medical knowledge assured him
that il was only the effects Of cold, that
there was no danger, and treated it ac-
cordingly. At last it was determined
that the affection was erysipelas, and the
family becoming alarmed, sent for DIR.
Beldin, of Jamaica, their regular family
physician. who at once determined it to
be a case. Of malignant pustule. The
patients head was in frightful con-
dition, and the brain was already affected
so that he was delirious. Under the cir
cumstances it was impossible to save him,
and he died on Friday. In making in
quiry as to the probable cause of the at
tack, DIR. Beldin found that for some time
past the water of the well had had pc
culiar taste, and investigation proved that
it was polluted by number of toads in
various stages of decomposition. Mr.
Higbie was in the habit daily of drinking
large quantities OF water, and he con
| tinued to do so after the taint was dis
covered and even during his illness. DIR
Beldin has no doubt that this was thu
cause of his death.

A Case OF witchcraft in Pittsburgh.

A Case of w Wttchcraft IN Ffttsburgh.
A girl about twelve years of age
residing with he parents at the Point,
Pittsburgh, has been for a long time
past subject to epileptic fits, and the
mother of the girl, being of supersti-
tious nature, insists that she is be-
witched. A reporter who visited the
family speaks of the circumstances as
follows Toward the latter part of last
week the child seemed to grow worse,
but the distressed mother would not
call in physician, believing that cure
could be only effected by supernatural
agencies. While in a fit little Rosa
would murmur instantly the name of
an old woman who lived in the neigh
borhood and once she said this person
had thrown a pail full of cold, clean
water over her as she was passing the
house where the alleged woman lived.
This convinced the girls mother that an
evil spirit had possession of her
child. She is very hopeful of the
child's recovery because she said that
she had induced the old woman, whom
no cntreaties couldinduce her to name,
to remove the spell. This she said
had been done by the witch splitting
in the child s face three times, at the
same time saying ~ wish you no
harm" Then the old woman burnt
some hair, and some of the child's
with fragments of her own and her
victims clothing. The ashes were
given to Rosa, and after swallowing
them the evil spirit vacated the premi'

Opinions OF the Press

fAAAhohS VI thC EEc3S
From the ". World. 4a.-. .-
To the indictment of the Republi-
can party by the common sense of the
country, the sole answer made by the
organs of the the administration has
been the charge that Governor Tilden.
fourteen yeasssgo, kno nowingly.wilfully
and wickedly committed perjury. in
making his return under the income
tax. Upon the establishment of thi,
monstrous charge brought In the crisis
of great political contes. against a
citizen who for threescore years had
lived in honor and in good repute in
the commercial metropolis of this
country, honored and applauded by
the authors themselves Of this miser-
able slander, they have deliberately
staked their political hopes to win
or lose them all. This is scandalous
Gnd wicked thing for the organs of
great party to have done. II is also
silly and stupid thing to have
done. To abuse the plaintiffs attor-
ney may be clever device in petti-
Jogging case before petty court. 1t
is senseless and suicidal device where
the case involves the welfare of ma
tion.
From the Philadelphia Chronicle,
The reply of Gov. Tilden, through
his former confidential Secretary,
Judge Sinnot, is so full in it's details
and so positively convincing that no
one who reads will fail to see that the
allegations, to which it is rejoinder,
are not only without the slightest foun-
dation in fact, but are pure, unadulter-
ated fabrications, manufactured for
the simple purpose of defaming
man who, as Judge Sinnot elo-
quently remarks "for more than a
generation had lived life so pure and
blameless that the breath of calumny
had failed to touch him, until by the
general voice of great party he had
become their candidate for the highest
Office in the gift of the people"
| That the statement will be carped
at and found fault with is to be ex-
pected but that 1t will eyer be refuted
in any of its essential details is impos--
sible. 1t is thorough and most
mastery vindication, effectu"'ly dis
posing of the last and greatest of the
calumnies charged against Governor
Tilden. 1t leaves him without spot or
blemish in regard to the honesty of his
transaction with the Government,
and thus places him before the people
in doubly strong light.
