A WITCH DOCTORS SECRETS.
Discovery of an Old Mans Strange

discovery OF an Old Mans strange
Methods of Curing Disease in Chill
dren.
READING, PA, Jan. 2O.-A family
named Yaher- residing in the upper sec
ton of the city, called in DR.. Wenger, a
reputable physician of this city, to attend
to their little child, who was subject to
fits through teething. The doctor learned
that an aged quack, who had the reputa-
ton of being a witch doctor, had called
and insisted that he could cure the child
without medicine. DIR. Wenger found a
small muslin bag suspended with a string
around the child's neck. The bag was
sewed up and inside of il was a sheet of
foolscap paper closely bent together. One
side was filled y it'll writing in high Ger
man. The doctor further learned that the
aged witch doctor had left long briar
switch, and after he had tied the bag
around the child's neck he told the mother
that whenever the child became restless
she should take the switch and vigorous
ly beat the air about the child's CRIB to
drive on the supposed witches, whom he
alleged were holding a spell over the lit
tie one. The mother exhibited the switch,
but says she did not use it. DR.. Wenger
took of the bag, translated the manu-
script and gave the result ofhis discovery
to the papers.

A PECULIAR PRAYER.

The writing is lengthy prayer to the
Almighty to deliver James Blaine Yaber,
the child, from all his enemies, who see,
but cannot be seen: ''That they cannot
come near me or hut me, body or soul.
Little pigs of the bed and all bad spirits
forbid We my bed, my house. nv property.
L forbid ye the nail holes of my house until
all the hills jump, all the water bubbles;
until all the leaves be counted on the hills.
1e have taken hold of my bones, so tall
back again! | pray to the Almighty 1
may be well again. l throw myself at
Thy feet. Bless mel Bless me! Amen"
Three crosses preface the writing. 1t
contains many illusions to the Deity al
most sacrllegiOus in their nature. 1t is
said that the old witch doctor is carrying
on his practices in a number of families,
and that prosecution may follow.

A Pastoral visit To Vain sister.


The Rev. f. G.. Gange, speaking at
Bristol the other night, said he believed
in careful preparation at home Of ser
mons for the Sunday. instead of ''gad-
ding about from house to house visit
ing. In his early career he was earn
estly requested by deacon to visit a
member Of the congregation who was
very i'll, and it was suggested that he
call Mt 10 o'clock in the morning. He
did 50, and found the poor woman very
much better, but greatly put out at his
visit, as she had her hair in curl paper,
her sleeves tucked up to her elbows,
and was doing bit Of household sweep
ing and busting. He begged her not to
mind him. as he was FUSED to that sort
of thing" He would have u short
prayer-he would not be long; they
knew he never was long about any
thing.
He selected chair and knelt down |;
she selected another, and he began the
prayer. He heard the door open once !;
he heard it open n second time. He
concluded an earnest prayer i'm the poor
woman's behalf, and on looking round
10! a perfect transformation! While
he was praying she had slipped up to
her bed room, washed her hands and
face curled her hair, changed her at
tire-and there she was in her very
best silk, fittingly prepared to receive
company, while he had been praying
among the empty chairs!

More Publicity Wanted.


The next Legislature should pass q
law that will authorize the Governor
to publish all the petitions and names
Of petitioners for pardons, and the par
dons granted, i'm the State paper at
Frankfort, and in the county papers
from which the petition comes, for at
least n month prior to granting the
same. IL will prevent fraudulent
names, now so common on petitions,
and give the law and order classe, an
opportunity to protect the innocent and
punish the guilty. On all pardons
granted, the Governor should give his
reasons in iull for the benefit Of the
public good. And all State officials
should be required to publish a report
of the business of their Office every
quarter in the State paper. Each couns
ty judge should be required to publish
in some paper in his county the order
aud proceedings OF his court monthly.
The Court Of Claims Of each county
should be required to publish their pro-
ceedIngs at each sitting, all State mat
tiers by State officials to be paid by the
State, all county reports to be paid by
the county.

General Beauregarsi.

General Beauresard has entered into
a contract with Mr.. Allen ThOrndike
Rice, editor of the Month american
Reuieio, to write \ series of articles on
the war between the States.
The first article will give an inside
history of 1.-THE Shiloh Campaign"
The second article will describe ''The
Defense of Charleston"
The third article will treat of the
"Drury's Bluff Campaign"
The closing article will be devoted
to "The Defense of Petersburg"
The first contribution is to appear in
the North american RepieW for Jan
uary, 1856. General Beauregard has
made it a condition that they shall be
published at an early date, rs he ex-
poets that they will arouse fierce con-
troversies, and he wants to have the
issues that he raises settled during his
lifetime.

A singular spectacle was observed in
the heavens few mornings since about
4:30 o'clock. First there was brilliant
flash and then tongue of flame shot out
horizontally some fifteen or twenty feet,
as it seemed. This flame seemed to the
beholder to be about two feet i'm diam
eter at one end and tapered to bright
star at the other. Thecomet, as it were,
was very brilliant for about a quarter OF
a minute, then it gradually faded away,
and as 1t disappeared four meteors shot
out from this point in as many direc-
tons. The air was very clear all this
time and the heavens were dotted with
innumerable stars.

lLOuisNiit lbhcs-l
1t is said that Hon. Phil. b. ThOmp-
son, the Representative-elect from
Mercer county, proposes in the next
Legislature to abolish all the common
pleas, chancery and criminal courts in
the State to increase the number of
circuit courts so that each district will
contain a much less number of counties
than at present, and provide, where
the business requires it, for holding
three or four terms Of court per year in
each county. If Mr.. Thompson will,
at the same time, permit the Superior
Court to expire, limit the right to
appeal from the circuit courts to felOnies
and high misdemeanors, and in civil
cases to controversies involving at least
$500; and provide salaries of $1,000 to
$4,000 for the circuit judge. he will be a
benefactor to his State, and the people
of this generation will rise up and bless
him.
