the name OF the Saviour
Father Ivan ordered her 20 come &c
his church at a certain time. In a loud.
commanding voice, he bade the devil de-
part. There was a silence OF a few mIn-
ties, and then the woman began to howl
and shrek. remarking in the short in
teryals between the parOxysms that IL
was the devil begging for mercy. And
this says the Official Gazette" 'is
what he howlings amounted to. The
