An Account by an Eye Witness, Written in
 an old Bible.

An Account by an Eye Witness, Written in
 an old Bible.
 Much has bee said in print and otherwise about the gale of 1915, but not many accounts of 1t by eye-w!tnesses exist. It was proba- ply no bigger as gale than the September gale of 1921, at came out Of the West Indies. Thebig one of 1915. 1t seems, was a southeaster. and happened on a Sunday evening September 23. The New London Tele- graph says:
 On the fiyleaf of an old Bible now in the possession of N. J. Moredock of Mystic, his great-great-grandfather. William Miner, wrote his impressions of the storm as follows:
 September. A. D. 1S15.-An Account of
 Hurricane.
 September 21.-The wind at north showers of rain. September 22: The wind at northeast all day, at night moderate showers of rain. September 23: The wind at northeast; no rain at 5 o'clock in the evening; at 6 o'clock in the morning the rain at northeast and heavy showers of rain; at 2 o'clock the wind at east, the wind and rain and tide increasing very rapidly; at o'clock the wind hauled southeast and increas- ing, sweeping away houses and barns and cribs and all kinds of buildings, and blowing down trees and all kinds of fences; and almost all the haystacks were blown down and swept away with the tide. The tide was said to rise sev- enteen feet from low water mark, and it was said that the salt water was car ried twenty miles back in the woods by the wind. At 10 o'clock the wind hauled to the south and abating; at Il o'clock the wind at southwest and a moderate breeze. There were many lives lost in this blow. This Is William Miners account that he saw. Stoning- ton, September 23, A. D. 1815."
 The Telegraph adds:
 The foregoing is a copy of the orig inal, taken from the Bible now in pos session of MT. Moredock Mrs. Nancy Miner lived at that time in the saw mill house. She was alone with three small children, the Squire" being still under military duty at Stony Point. When the gale was at its height the wind blew in the whole window, but upper and lower sashes. This was a trying situation, but Aunt Nancy" boldly faced the situation and with ready skill resolute- ly spiked feather bed over the open ing, and thus protected herself and lit tie ones from the frightful storm.

CATHERINE HARRISON, WITCH.
Dr. Hoadley's Interesting Paper Before tn
 Hiaf .rlcal Sociafv

Dr. Hoadley's Interesting Paper Before tn . Hist 'rical society.
 A bit of unfamiliar Connecticut his tory wNs laid before those who attend ed last nights meeting of the Connecti- cut Historical society, the first meet ing since May. One of those trials for witchcraft, amusing at this late day, but serious matter then-was related with a wealth of detailed information that the historian would search for in vain among the ordinary records, by Dr. c. J. Hoadley, the president.
 While reading his paper pr. Hoadley turned aside to say that while the sub ject of it was not executed, two were undoubtedly executed for witchcraft in Connecticut and there were others about whom there might be some doubt. This community was not swept by the superstition as were some parts of Massachusetts, but there were those here who held to it. The paper was entitled "The Case of Catherine Har- riscn of Wethersfeld." Catherine liar rison was the wife of John Harrison, and they had three daughters. Two years after the death of her husband in 1866, she was arrested for witchcraft. In October, 1868, she was tried before the court in Hartford, and during the trial many depositions were introduced of people who testified of the devilish things she had done.
 Before her marriage Catherine was a house servant, and one of the daughters of the house where she worked made oath that she was Ia notorious liar, a Sabbath breaker and a fortune tel ler." The deposition said she had caused sickness to some people, death to others, had an unholy influence over animals, had been seen to appear as a calf and change back to her own shape and that her form or face had frequent ly appeared at peoples bedsides and other unlikely pisces. At this trial she was not convicted.
 She was arrested again in May, 1869, and again committed to jail. At the following term Of court she was in- dicted, pleaded not guilty and was tried before jury. This jury then failed to agree and she was remanded to jail until court should convene again in the fall. At that term the jury rendered a verdict of guilty, but the court was not satisfied. It obtained an expert opinion on witchcraft from some ministers, and still not being satisfied referred the matter to the general court. She re- mained in prison until May, 1870, when the general court released her on the payment of the "just fees" of the trial and on condition that she would leave the state. .. -a.
 From Connecticut she went to West chester, N. r., but her reputation pre- ceded her, and the citizens complained of her presence to the then governor of New York She was placed under bond for her good behavior, and after some time, nothing appearing against her conduct, the bond was released. Noth- ing further appears in the record con- corning Catherine Harrison.-Hartford Courant.

STUDENTS AS ACTORS.

Allegheny Institute Young Men, Assisted
by HoIlins Talent. Give a Elmo Enter
tainment.
About one hundred and ffty people
were at the Y. M. c. A. Hall last night
at the entertainment given by the stu
dents OF Allegheny institute. The hall
had boon specially arranged for tho oc-
casion, good stage erected and other
theatrical equipments placed in posi-
ton. Everything acted admirably until
the second farce was rung up, when the
curtain refused to be manipulated and
could not be drawn until several mo-
ments of hard Juggling had been re-
sorted to.
The full programme was as follows;
Plano colo, polonalse, in sharp minor Chopin
Prof. Rath.
von 1saete! Of bIshms
Miss Flora Louise Goldsmith
E yon soe Selenaia County sehOo
Miss Flora Louise Goldsmith.
The piano accompaniment to Miss
Goldsmith's violin performances were
played by Prof Rath, whose talents are
too we'll known by the Roanoke public
for further praise to be necessary. Miss
Goldsmith, when heartily encored
played "Tranmera," by Schumann, and
'Piccicato," by Delibes
To say that Miss Goldsmith Ia a most
excellent performer on the violin is to
express it mildly. She ia an artistic
and possesses comeple to mastery of the
instrument from which she so subtly
draws the sweet strains that invariably
delight and charm those who are for.
tunate enough to hear her play.
The three farces in which the student s
and instructors of the institute appeared
were exceedingly funny and received
much applause. The young men showed
fine sense Of appreciation OF the re.
spective parts and the characters,
especially those impersonating the
fairer sex, were well sustained.
