Rev. Joseph Doderidge, in his Notes
Of the Settlement and Indian Wars in
Pennsylvania and Virginia in that
portion Of the work treating Of Witch
craft" says
The diseases Of children supposed
to be inflicted by witchcraft we're those
Of dropsy Of the brain and the ricketts,
These were diseases which could neither
be accounted for nor cured. conse-
%quently they were ascribed to some SUI
pernatural agency. For the cure OF
diseases inflicted by witches, the picture
Of the supposed witch was drawn on a
stump OF piece of board and shot Al
with a bullet containing a little bit OF
silver. This silver bullet transferred q

TO UKIAH AND RETURN.
Success Attends the First Excur-
sion of the Year.

70 Seven weil-filled passenger-cars yesterday
represented the initial excursion of the sea-
son to Ukiah, the present terminus of the
San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad,
and the trip was such gratifying success
that its promoters will probably be induced
to repeat the experiment at frequent inter-
walls during the remainder of the season.
The ferry-steamer started soon after 8
O'cl Ock, and when the $50 excursiOnists were
comfortably settled in the cars at Thu ron
they proceeded to thorough enjoyment of
their outing, admirlng the beautiful coun-
try which has been opened up by the eff
cient train service of the DOnahue broad
gauge.
The weather could not have been i'm
proved upon had it been made to order.
The day was bright and clear, but the RAYS
of the sun were tempered by delightful
breeze, and the heat at no time was Oppres-
sive. The management had evidently sprin-
Killed. the rOad-bed carefully, for the passen-
gers were not troubled with dust, and at
the conclusion of their four hours trip
stepped upon the Ukiah platform, having
ridden 1l3 miles. and still all were fresh and
free from travel stains. About that time
45O people discovered that they had impor-
tant business to transact in the hotels and
restaurants Of the inland city, and without
delay they took measures to effect its con-
summation.
The ladies' connected with the local
churches had spread a repast in the Court
house, and accomplished the double object
OF feeding the hungry and increasing the
deposits in the exchequer of the sanctuary
Colonel w. II. Mention, General Freight
Agent and Superintendent of excursions,
who, during the trip, had been very solicit
Gus regarding the comfort of the passen-
gers, had thOughtfully engaged private
dining-rOom at the Grand Hotel where he
entertained at luncheon specially invited
guests.
The ensuing three hours were spent in
various ways, some visiting friends, others
strolllng about the town and many driving
out to the Vichy Springs, three miles dis
tant, where there was every facility, as
well-known journalist expressed it, for the
enjoyment of a champagne bath. Among
the San franciscans who are spending their
vacation at the springs is Judge Charles A.
Low, and the distinguished jurst did the
honors in such a pleasing way that the
hour for departure came all too soon.
Promptly at o'clock the train rolled home
ward al a rapid rate, w. G. Cooley, the
Superintendent of the road, occupying a
seat In the engine, watch in hand, until the
party was safely and comfortably trans
ferred to the ferry steamer at Tiburon.
The excursiOnistS trod Market street again
at 500 o'clock, raYenOusly hungry and
rather tired, but enthusiastically pleased
with their trip TO Uklah and return.
