fr witchcraft, as they were in some I coun-f-nin.,tbeoeiiiUzed.
Cut this
cuer io lue.supenor chairity of
the people, or to thefactthatthey suibosed
themselves able to overmatch the pitches
witncountercharms. A witch was ffinera!-
.j OUFtjucu 10 ue an out woman in league
with the deviL, and able to do wonderful
unngs uy satamc agency. The usual way
to oecoiue a witch was to go down jto the
spring at the dawn of dav. and looki
at the image dimly outlined in the water,
pledge the soul to Satan, uon condition of
ms rendering tnem the help needed. After
tnis compact the witches could do wonder
fut things, such as riding on broomsticks
.... iuD.au, nuusiui miu'T inemseives
into black cats,-and rabbits, and other aui
mals. Walking along the road late in tin
evening, a man alleged that he saw! three
women sitting on a lojrbeside the road. As
he lookco at them, the women sud.tpnU-
melted from Tie w, and three ant lered! deer
galloped off in their stead. The witjeh or
wizzard was supposed to have poyer to
transfer com from the horse trough f his
neighbor to his own horse, and while 1m
neighbor s horses got poor and lean, life own
were sleek and fat. To sec a rabbit hopping
about a barn suggested the presence of a
witch making arrangements to,abstrat the
corn from the horses, or the milk from the
cows. But an old fashioned shilling wit!
its pillars ot Hercules nailed in the horse
trough was supposed to break thespejl and
keep the corn in the trough. Theonlirway
of killing the witch rabbits and black cats,
was by nslng a silver bullet. The rabbit
Would vanish, but the witch at home would
suddenly die of heart disease, or apoplexy.
Ia the mean time the witches were supposed
to use a peeuliar kind of a gun, which was
simply a glass phial, open at both endi, and
a bullet made of knotted and twisiedihair.
This bullet possessed the wonderful proper
ty of penetrating the flesh of an animal with
out making any hole in the skin; R was
alleged tint such bullets were four.d, and
animals often being skinned would how
tlie hole through which these ludlets jvcnt.
It was believed that witches rode oil the
neeks of horses at nijjit, anil their knotted
stirrups were sometimes seen in the maues
of the horses. In these cases thev assume i
tlve form of rabbits. A story used to be re
lated of the mistake of an inexperienced
witch in trying to increase the amount of
butter at a churning. She took her cream,
and measured it into herchurn by the spoon
ful, repeating at each dip, "a spoonful from
that house." and "a spoonful from Ithat
house." Unfortunately, speaking in German,
she got the word for ladle instead of spoon,
and so she said, -'a ladleful from that house."
As a Consequence when she began to churn
the cream began to swell up asjthe ladlefuls
came in. until the churn was full, and it ran
over and flooded the room. At that iuue-
ture a neighbor. walked in. ami found; her
tillable to account for- tbe abundance of
cream,, an d"Tn her confusion, she divulged
the embarrassing secret.
SPELLS AND CIIAKMS.
Intimately connected with this witch
craft was the belief in spells and charms.
This was very common among the negroes,
and perhaps continnes to this day. Noth
ing was more common than to account for
certain obscure diseases as the ' result of a
'trick." The sick person was said to be
"tricked." This was supposed to be done
in various ways, but very frequently by mak
ing some mixture of roots, hair, parings of
tinge.- nails, and other ingredients, tying tlie
compound up in a cloth, and laying it un
der a doorstep, or piece of wood or stone
where the victim had to tread or erhaps
was put into the spring or well. In such
emergencies the oily refuge was a ' trick
doctor" or conjure?, who knew how to brew
a medicine, or repeat a charm more potent
tfian the spell laid'on. Such '-trick doctors"
were to be found in the memory of perswns
still living. They were generally meu jot a
shrewd unscrupulous character," who man
aged to delude the minds of the gullible
victims of trickery. lie who was" weak
enough to believe in the "trick,"- was not
hard to be persuaded and imposed upon by
the conjurer. Marvellous stories were told
of the skill of '4hce conjurers. So Kitcnt
was the skill of one of these, that he needed
no lock to his crib and smoke house. All
he did was to draw a circle in the dust rtr
earth around his premises, and the thief who
dared to enter that magic circle wonitl be
found standmg3lierc next morning, with his
bag of stolen m at or corn on his shoolder.
One of these coigurers was believed to have
the power of taking some straws and turn
ing a thief's track upside down, and com
pelling him to command stand on the rever
sed track. The preimscs of a man with such
a reputation were generally safe, without
lock or kev. To do them justice the con
jurers were generally very moderate injjscir
: charges,, seeming to find their reward in the
reputation which they achieved among their
neighbors. And their countercharms ; and
potions were generally innocent, and only
calculated to work upon the imagination.
Sometimes they used real remedies, supple
menting them with certain passes and mo
tions. For instance, ma .v years ago a bov
cut his foot badly with a.i axe. The wound-;
was loosely and awkwardly bound up, land
the blood continued to flow, until the- lad
likktrfdre. In this emergency a neigh
bor 'was Vent for abjjut midnight to staunch
the blood by using" . for it. Ho came
promptly and carefully unbound the foot,
washed off the clotted blood, adjusted; the
lips of the wound, and bound on it the fleshy
scrapings of sole! leather. 'After thisi he
took another? sharp.; tol, a drawing- knife,?
and madevvanous . passes over the foot, at
the same time muttering spine' cabbalistic
words perhaps a verse from the Bi bie. . The
remedy as a - wholewas eminently . succesg-,
ful, but the patient wa3 disposed to att ribute
the cure to the careful adjnstm.en t, and .the
astriut?ent properties of oafcr bark , absorbed
in tsnning by the srrapinirs of the leather
