WITCHCRAFT.
Gross superstition In pennsylvania
City-TestlmDny Given in Court.

A Telegram from Reading, Pa, to
the New York Herald, says: \ few
days ago, the infant daughter OF Mrs.
Sarah Kockert died of some ailment,
probably magasmas, as the body OF the
child wasted away, or "ahrivelled up,
as the parents say, when they claim 1t
was bewitched. A so-calIed witch doc
tor was called in during its illness, and
he recommended various strange and
peculiar methods of treatment to dis
cover who the witch was, in order to
remove the cause of the illness. Final
iy the name Of Mrs. Snyder was given
as the name Of the witch. That lady
instituted proceedings against Mrs.
Kockert, the mother of the deceased
infant, for calling her witch.
The case was heard before Justice
Lung, of the Eleventh Ward. All the
parties are respectable, well-to-do peo-
pie. Mrs. Snyder swore that she had
been accused Of bewitching the child
and causing it's death. Several women
testified that Mrs. kockert's child was
sick. and it was charged that Mrs. Sny-
der had bewitched it. Mrs. Huntzinger
testified that the infant died, and that
Mrs. KocGert accused Mrs. Snyder of
causing its death.
Mrs. kookert, the defendant, testi-
fed that her child was sick, and she
sent for a witcn doctor, who told her
that the child had been taken away 10y
some one. She told the doctor that
Mrs. Snyder had asked, "What is the
witch doing here 4" and she replied,
"When you tread on a dogs tail he
howls."
Mrs. Kockert continued: "The doc
tor gave me bits OF paper and said l
should put them in molasses aud feed
them to the child He also gave me
strip. of paper to place around the
chllu DreAst W utA'o sno "'sS"0S
away, telling me | must be careful aud
tie knot in the paper. / fed some OF
the molasses with the papers in it to
the child, but it could not eat i. all.
Next, the doctor told me. as the child
was restless, to take briar stick and
whip the cradle in which the child lay,
until was so tired that could not
strike any more. Before striking the
cradle was to take leaf OH the briar
whip and dry it on the stove. "
Much more testimony was given OF
other curious methods adopted to drive
oil the witch aud cure the child. The
Justice, after hearing it, decided to
send the case into higher court.

Death OF Hartley Thompson.


Edward Hartly Thompson, the well
known tenor, died on Monday morning
last at his late residence, No. 8 Saunders
street. Mt. Auburn. in the thirty seven tn
year of his age. Deceased was born in
England, and at an early age developed
a talent for singing. He was a clever
boy and sang at several festivals in Eng.
land He came to Cincinnati about ten
years ago, and since that time has
been connected with several church
cboirs. For several years he was the tenor
of the quartet at the Seventh Street Con-
gregational Chnrch, and latterly belonged
to the choir of the Plum Street Temple.
For short time he lived in Wheeling, W.
Va, returning from that city last fall. He
was acknowledged to be one OF the best
tenors in this city, and was frequently en-.
gagged for concerts. He was the soloist in
the first performance Of the Messiah I'M
der Theodore Thomas during the Christ
mas season OF ISIS, when he sang with
Marie Van, Emma Cranch. and Myron w.
Whitney. He was also engaged for some
of the earlier May Festivals, and for many
years was member OF the Festival Chorus.
Last fall he sang at the Thanksgiving con.
cert given by the Festival Association, and
his efforts won well-merited praise. He
leaves a. wife and children. The cause Of
his death was lingering consumption. His
funeral will take place tomorrow after
noon at clock, from st. Paurs Episco-
pal Church.

MANHOOD.
Dr., Smiths Memorial Sermon Go Hell.
Hdav Post. q. A. II.

DR.. Smiths Memorial Sermon 60 Hell.
Hday Post, q. A. II.
Last evening, Rev. DR.. ]. Z. Smith de-
livered a memorial sermon TO Holiday
Post, G. A. R., at Fourth Street II. E.
Church. The inclement weather doubtless
prevented many from going, but very
good congregation gathered, nevertheless.
About SO members of the post attended
and were given the front pews of the
church. The choir rendered some music,
conspicuous among which was solo by
Mrs. VIM. Martin.
DR.. Smith took for his subject, "Man-
hood" and preached from the text
"Acquit yourselves like men; be ST. ong."
The great want, he said, OF the times and
OF the nation, was manhood, in Its best
and truest sense. While the armies which
were here represented, had manifested
need, the call for 1t was just as great just
as urgent now in peaceful pursuits
in the development of the country
and the preservation OF our Gov
eminent. He was not pessimist, he said,
but he believed various dangers threaten.
ed the government, to avert which would
require all possible manhood. A threat
ening danger is found in the very magui.
tude of the country and its diverse inter-
ests. Everything is great that is Ameri.
can, whether q villain or a frog The vast
territorial expense produces q diversity of
interest and awakens an antagouism be-
tween the east and the west on great ques-
tons of political economy.
He believed the question o. States rights
to be an impending danger. While the
American eagle is ever ready to swoop
do wn and protect from foreign insult or
int e eel ce, yet an individual in one otthe
States might be abused and the American
eagle at Washington be bin d and impo-
tent in enforcing the law.
Office-seeking is prolific source OF dan
ger-the immense patronage OF the Ad-
ministration. We are a nation OF office.
seekers and the appetite for office is uni.
versal. The Federal administration has
two hundred thousand offices to bestow.
This is a startling statement and pregnant
with danger to the Republic. 1t gave ar
tifcial value and strength to men and
made their influence to be measured only
py their following in their ward, county or
State.
After pointing out the dangess, he
showed on what the safety and perpetuity
OF the government depend. The chief
basis OF safety lies in education and he ex-
patiated on the advantages Of education to
the stability of any government, whether
republic or monarchy. In conclusion and
coming down to individual application, he
exhorted the Post to be faithful and firm
to its manhood and the government. and
closed with brilliant and eloquent perora-
ton.

why IL II Named.

The Marietta Register answers sub
scriber who asks the meaning Of "Ingomar"
the name OF Capt. Morgan's new boat in
this style: 1T is named after a celebrated
European princess who became famous
from the following incident in her life.
She went out, one day. to beat carpet-it
being housekeeping time and her husband
having been called down street to see
man. Pausing TO rest few moments, she
turned to resume her task, when she
discovered that an immense eagle
had alighted on the line on
which her carpet was hung. Moth
ing daunted. she attacked the bird and laid
il dead at her feet. Scarcely was this done
when a wild cat climbed up the pole and
commenced to crawl toward her. Charg-
ing on the beast, she knocked it down and
a fierce struggle ensued. She finally came
off victorious by putting her foot on the
animals head and smothering IL TO death.
When her busnbad came. home .he was
immensely pleased and exclaimed: lingo.
mar, you can beat anything on that line"
This passed into common saying, and 20
when they want q steamboat that can
beat anything on the line" they call it
"Ingomar."
