of the renowned Cotton Mather, author OF tho

occult and most especially witchcrat. like King
James, Sir Matthew Hale, and other learned men men
of the perIod. Her husband was marvellous pro-
dnrt of Yaakeedon and only to be accounted for
on the basis of heredity; a modern Jacob Boehm
unprodnctive of the infinite suggestiyeness OF THO
wonderful Shoemaker of Gorliz.
Mrs Matler came TO me, she said, in consequence
of dream in which her dead husband directed her

who had the power under instruction OF superior
spirits, to transmute the baser metals into goa;
She went to hear mo lecture, and declared was

There was much jumping mp and down, nnbntt0n-

enraged beyond endurance. A tall monument in
