Sinedee.

Mr.. Christian X. Ross, the father of
the lost Charley, received not long
since an offer from an intelligent and
apparently honest old Pennsylvania
farmer to find his lost boy for him by
means of sinedee, which he declared is
mysterious power to see past and
future events in bottle, which the in
terlocutor must hold over running
water, while the seer stands on the other
side. The power, he said, is possessed
only by persons born in the season of
advent,
Mr.. Ross states that scarcely week
passes in which he does not receive
similar superstitious offers, made APP
parently in good faith, from persons
claiming to possess supernatural power.
We are apt to speak of superstition
as belonging to "old times" but the
truth is that it assumes more frequent
and varied forms among Americans than
any of us would like to acknowledge.
In the farming districts of the Middle
and Southern States there is supposed
by many people to be a supernatura!
cure for almost every disease. The more
ludicrous they are, the more positive is
the faith of the ignorant in them.
