comes from the Pennsylvania village
of Renschor, which this year has suf-

per getting abroad that this was due
to the spell cast over the place by a
late resident named Bordas, who had
been dead several weeks, the inhabi-
tants, acting on the advice of the
soothsayer of a neighboring village,
exhumed the body at midnight and,
with many -incantations, hurled the
body from one to another on pitch
forks, at the same time violently re-
straining from intervention. the son
Of Bordas, who besought them to de-
sist. All concerned in the outrage
have been arrested. and this time an
example is to be made<-London
