TrIbute of Respect To-

Mrs BANDINA DROMGoID, who died December
1st. 1876, after weary years of lingering illness,
which was born with Christian resignation. No
picture OF past days can be perfect without the
presence OF dear mother. Her memory sweet
with the fragrance of many helpful word and
kindly deed
Many times were our hearts gladened by the
warmth Of her reception, with which she welcOm-
ed us with a look OF pride and u tear OF love, as
we clasped hands and exchanged the warm greet
ings of friendship,
We know there is vacant chair at the hreside
Yet our hearts are sustained by that faith which
looks alOft and sees, that our loss Is the loved
ones gain, 5. t. ID.

Au Extraordinary Little Man.

Gen. Mite, who is now on exhibition n this city, is the most extraordinary little man ever on exhibition. Tom Thumb Com. Mutt and all the many small people who have from, time to time, been on exhi- bition within the last twenty-five years, and who have made such sensations on account of their size, are giants in compar- ison with this wonderful little fellow. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward f. Flynf !, and was born in the town of Greene, Che mango county, New York, on the 9th day of October, 1864. At birth he weighed but two and one-half pounds, and it was the opinion of the attending physician that he could not possibly live. Under the most careful nursing, however, he continued to survive and grow, though very slowly.
 When about one year and six months old il was discovered that, for some UnaccOunt- able reason, he had ceased to increase in size and weight, though he was perfectly healthy. The only difference between him and other children being that he Was rest less, fretful and of an uneasy temperament. It Was the parents first child, and all the nderness and care that could be bestow- age of eighteen months he weighed eight and one-half pounds, and never since that time has he increased half pound, his weight at present being a trifle less than nine pound', and his neigh. twenty two inches. He was able to walk at fifteen months, but it was nearly two years before he could speak. During the first three years of his life his parents and their phys jean had but little hopes that he would survive any number of years. He has al- ways resided with his people at their coun. try home, and has participated in the enjoyment of his youthful neighborS with the pleasure of other children of his age. Tn consequence of his delicate constitution it was deemed imprudent to give him a school education, and he has never attended He is, however, remarkably intelligent, has a great memor.r of persons and places, d natural talent, and a strongly developed power of imitation for one of his minute s,ze-[N.

ticn with tears and sobs Finally, when they had pricked many places in her body without success, she confessed to two marks -one litt.e below the right hip, and one on the left arm. The committee now be- came satisfied that these were true marks, as the flesh was thereon discolored in slight degree. They thereupon made their report to the court appointed to hear the trial.
 This evidence, confirming that of Mir. Perry, was thought to be conclusive, and on the Sd of April the trial took place. It was thought unnecessary to resort to fur ther tests, and Miss Cox was found guilty of witchcraft on the evidence already quot ed, and senterced to be hanged Strange noises and d.mons haunted the jail at Hartford up to the time her execution took place, which was on the 7th of April, at five o'clock in the morning. There was large. concourse of men and women at- teldi 2 her execution, and although she dccla ed she was unjustly accused, and that she confessed to the witch marks to stop the pain of being pricked so cruelty by the committeeman, yet every person believed her 10 be true witch, and in league with the devil She further declared shat Julius Perry accused her wrongfully. She said she was in the forest gathering herbs, and that Julius Ferry came along and would have his will of her; that, she constantly refusing, he set his dog upon her, and the animal bit her shoulder; and that he, fearing t. be detected in this bad act, had laid the charge of witchcraft gainst her This she said under the gal lows. Whereupon shout was made among the people to Burn the witch," as hanging was too easy death for so foul d strumpet of the devil. While the people went to fetch wood to burn her, the sheriff hung her up, so that she died on the gal low; before the wood could be brought

 Juliana Cox, the Witch.

A friend in Glastonbury sends us the fol lowing account, which has been cut out of the Times away back in 1929, and pasted i'll an old scrap book. Juliana Cox, We rejoice to. believe was the only witch that was ever hangcd.in Connecticut-and it is matter of regret that even one such case of super stition and shame can be brought up against the good old State. The place of the execution, on GallowS Hill in this city, is now known as the commanding trap rock ridge by the stone pits. Here is the account:
 "In the beautiful town of Glastonbury, in onnec icut, the following remarkable event occurred in 1753: In March of that year one Julius Perry went out with his dogs to hunt. In the depths of the forest he discovered, as he alleged, an old gray fox and hls dogs gave chase. After chas-- ing this fox upward of two miles the ani- maj was holed. When Mir. Perry came up he heard strange noise over the other siue of the hole and, going to the spot, he there found Juiiana Cox lying and panting for breath Her left shoulder was bleeding and Lad the marks of dogs teeth This was just tae spot on the gray foX's shoul- der where the dogs had seized him. Upon his testimony Miss Cox, maiden lady of forty-four, was brought to trial for the cap- ital offense of being witch. On her ar raignment she plead not guilty, and it was determined that d committee of the select men should examine her person for witch marks, in order to introduce contirmatory proof against her. She was, therefore, re- manded to prison. The following persons were appointed as the committee: Eben Brewer, Alexis Jones and Samuel Cut worth. These men proceeded at once to the prison and, stripping Miss Cox, they began their examination. For time ex. ceeding an hour they could find no marks, and Miss Cox submitted to their eZamina1
