Protestant Miracles.

have been reached, right here in Litchfielt county, when intelligent Protestants are giv. ing credence to displays of miraculous powe fully as remarkable as any put forward by Catholicism, and almost equalling those recorded in the New Testament.
 During the past week, we had noticed that Mrs. Mix, of Wolcottville, who claims the power of healing by prayer, had been visiting New Milford on invitation of the Rev. MT Delavan, editor of the New Milford Ray. We looked, therefore, for last weeks issue of tha, paper with much interest, and were not little surprised to find that it sustained Mrs. Mix claims to miraculous power to the full, having been,to all appearances, so throughly convinc- Milford as to accept with entire faith the re- ports which she gave of the wonders she had performed elsewhere.
 The Ray details nine eases occurring in Wolcottville and other places, and reports four full cures in New Milford, besides several cases of partial relief, The cures performed by Mrs. Mix during her visit to New Milford are reported as follows:
 Last Friday Mrs. Mix was called to see Mrs. Chas. Woodruff, of Washington. Two years ago she was given up by her physicians. She had been attended by about all in this town and surrounding places and they could do no more for her. Her case is known to many of our readers and we do not feel at liberty to speak at present of the complication of dis eases from which she suffered. She had been confined to her bed for a long time and her friends had abandoned all hope. Before Mrs. Mix left her the next day, che was able to leave her bed, walked about the room and ate a hearty meal, which she greatly relished We learn that on Wednesday she walked across the street and was improving.
 On Monday morning Mrs. MIX visited Mrs. George Welton, at Lanesville. She had not been able to walk for a little more than a year. The Doctors said that ligament vas broken. In less than an hour she was up, and dressed and walking about the house. happy, grateful woman. We give in thls issue let ter from Mrs. Welton herself, receive We'd nesday noon, which we hope all doubters es- pecially will read.
 On Tuesday William Dunn, of Lanesville, called on Mrs. Mix. For about 30 years he had not been able to walk without the aid of two canes: After a short interview he came out of the room using his legs as lively as if through this Village proclaiming to all his acquaintances that he could aoalk without his canes and rejoicing like these who were healed in the olden time.
 A little girl living few miles below this Village whose name we did not learn, had been troubled with St. Vitus's Dance. She could not talk and she had the nervous twtch- ing which is an attendant of that fearful dis ease. She was carried to Mrs. Mix on Tues day and in few minutes she could repeat the Lords Prayer as well as any one and the twitching had gone. This case we have heard nothing about since her visit.
 The other cases reported by the Ray are the following Gtalicised as in the originaD:
 The case we will designate No. was that of Mrs. Apply, of Hall Meadow, Wolcottvile. She han an internal cancer, spinal affection, female weaknesses of the worst kind, and her head and feet were drawn backward toward each other. She was at a hospital five weeks but the physicians gave her up and said she could not be cured. For long time she had to be lifted in blanket and she could not help herself at all She could not take single step. Mrs. Mix was called, prayed with her, put her hands upon her, and in few minutes Mrs. Apply got off the bed, walked across the room, got her clothes, combed her hair, ordered dinner, and ate heartily. She discharged her help, began to do her own work, even to the whitcwashing of her rooms and is now as feshy and healthy as ever.
 No we will call Mrs. Perkins case She is a Wolcottville lady. She had been troubled with infammatSry rheumatism for 8 years, and was not able to feed herself She was al- most instantly relieved of all pain, dressed her self, made her toilet and became a well Wo- man.
 No. is the case of German woman whose name is not remembered. She had sprained one of her ankles Her foot and leg were greatly swollen, were very painful and in- famed, and she could not walk without assist ance. It took two men to lift her from the wagon. Very soon after Mrs. Mix began to work over her the patient could see the swell ling go down, so rapidly did it disappear. She walked away as easily as if she had never been injured, got her husbands supper and sur prised him by meeting him in the yard when he returned from work
 No. is the case of Mrs. Seymour, of Vol cottville. She was 85 years old and was near ly blind. She could see person that passed hcr but could not see the color of the dress. She could not read a word or sew and the Doctors had given her up. Within few minutes of the time when Mrs Mix first saw her. her sight was restored and she could read the Bible She has since pieced bed quilt in which there were ,404 different pieces and did it all in ten days
 No. 5-Hartley Croft, of Wocottville, lit- tie boy, 10 years of age, stuck a nail in his foot and had lockjaw, or came very near it. He was crazy and his parents thought he was dying. His appearance was so horrible that hnr Ai,y hn l lol H., suffering intensely when Mrs. Mix arrived. She put her hands on him and in about two minutes he looked up and spoke naturally to her. She talked to him about having faith to be cured, prayed, put her hands on his stom- ach which caused immediate vomiting of green ish matter-Gf the writer is not in error about the color)-and began to improve at once. Until Mrs. Mix labored with him the wound in the foot had never discharged. It began to do so while she worked over him, and the next day he was as we'll as usual.
 No GA boy named Wheeler was very se- riously troubled with polypus. It was as large as pea and closed one nostril. The boy was suffering severely and Mrs Mix was sent for but being engaged just at that time she could not go to him. She sent back word that she would come when she could. She went to her closet, knelt Tn prayer and prayed that the boy might be healed Soon after she called on him. His mother took him into her arms by the window and began to search for the pol ypus, but it could not be found and never has been yet The boy was healed while Mrs Mix prayed!
 No. Miss Cant, of Waterbury. had spi nal disease, weak lungs, and no use of hel hips The Doctors called it paralysis oi the nerves. She was one whose faith did not come readily. She was greatly benefited at the first interview and had little faith, but not as much as was necessary. Mrs. Mix tried to have her believe that she could be healed ct once, but the nearest to it she could get was that she would be pery soon. On the way home in the cars, while Mrs. Mix was praying for her, she felt peculiar sensations in her hips and was cured at once She went home and began to skip about so lively and ioyously that her parents thought she was era Zy.
 No. 8-Miss Peck, of Armenia, had con- l sumption and had not been able to sit up fol weeks. A council of physicians had beer held but they pronounced her case hopeless one.
