The Hickory Clipper tells a strange story of a little jrrl, 10 years of age, of Caldwell county who seems to possess the mysterious but unconscious power of attracting stones, which -appear to corae through tine roof or the walls of the house in which she may happen to be, striking the floor with force but making no indentations stones of various sizes and weights from one -to ten pounds and always falling neat the child. The Ifaniily, consisting of M. L. Holler, the father, mother and this little girl, have moved several times to other house to get rid of the hauut, Imt have been followed where ever they went by the same strange phenomenon. Of late, household arti cles,, (a wash pan is instanced,) "com menced moving n the shelf where it was kept, and directly whirled off on to the floor near ihe little girl. These things hate been going on for weeks, and many of the 'neighbors have visited the family to witness them; and the publication referred to, was related tc. the publisher of ihe Clipper by a gen tleman who spoke from personal knowl edge Of the facts as given. The editor refers the subject to th investigation of scientists with th question, have we iu North Carolina a Lula Hurst iirfche person of lit tle Mi: Holler.'

A GrPHic PICTURE OF THE EARLY XKW england puritans, as told by a 1 keA England journal. Froi the Winsted (Conn.) Press. Te floodgates of gtish have been opened by recurrence of "Forefathers Dayj"anU parsons, publicans, pharisees and politicians having lifted up their heavienlyi voices in unqualified praise of the Massachusetts puritans, let us varyj the monotony by telling some truths not at all complimentary to these sam puritans, and in the light of which, notwithstanding some sturdy qualities of soulcjbmmon to other pioneers, it ap pears that they were for the most hart as wean and inhuman a lot of bigots as ever j set loot on American soiU inere were a few exceptions there alwajs are exceptions, and they "prove the rule." Rogers William was ia peaceful Quaker. The forefathers were whil homs peaceful Presbyterians fresh frouj persecutions, papal and protest ant, fin other lands, Vet one cold and snoify December night they drove this peaceful Quaker out from all shelter in theiil towns to find tender mercy in the hearts of untutored savages, and asy lum jat last in a region not yet distin guished by its puritan diety. . They had pot been more than twenty years before they began by fines, impri.-on-menL whipping, banishment arid tor tureto make a history for themselves whicjh fuust be forever infamous. Tey whipped and banished a man nanijed Gortonand this -w:is his of fenc: His servant smiled in church, nnd j Gorton publiclv defended him Butlbauishment did not suflice. Gor ton ind;a dozen others went to Rhotle Jdaid jnid settled in a place called Warwick, beyond the jurisdiction of the Boston court and refused to return. A fope of soldiers was sent after him. The jsoldiers captured him and his fel iowsi after driving their women and c'nlqren into the woods brought the prisdneni back to Boston leaving the women and children to perish and wem publicly blessed by John Win throp, Ctton Mather and other good puritans for their great victory over the Emissaries of sataii. The prisoners iverelput in irons, kept at hard labor throjigh the winter, and banished tgaih for trying to keep away from their- godly forefathers. Afewyears later a Baptist minister from1 Newport, named Holmes, with two friends went, to Lynn to visit a dvinj brother. At the' bedside of the sick jmaii they were arrested, fined and imprisoned, and when Holmes retused to py hjs fine ho was taken out into the streets of Boston, stripped aud so brutally flogged that some' bystanders expressed sympathy for him and for that! expression were fined and unpris- oneq. JNo sym pathy was expressed for theig, we may be sure, and that thev were not very good puritans is self evident, i? T Wf ll I joun vmcnrop was tnen governor of the colony and leader of the genera! court, but a merciful providence took nmi iiiome to neaven ana put a worse tnanjiti liis place. This man was John Endfcott; who began his holy mission oy imprisoning ana starving two wo men because they were Quakers Til. 1..' ; i , t i , . xiieu ue imprisoned ana Danisned a man! narhed Upshall for civini' the women food. Under Endi:ott a law was pJisstH against Quakers which it was hoped would root out this' devilish seci, una py virtue or tnis law many yuaKer, men and women were whn- pea, imprisoned, starved and ill-treated m various other ways. But certain -a -a ...... . people wduld be Quakers, which so en raget the governor that in a fit of ex treme pitity one day he ordered the twenty Quakers then in jail taken out and whipped twice, a week, each tiia mores, severely than the last. Still theset wicked Quakers persisted in poi soning the air of the puritan saints Br dwelling in Massachusetts, and to ef- fectu&lly iret rid of them a law. was passed Which declared that -for the first duence of returning after banisn- mentkme ear shall be cut off, and for the tljird bore the tongue with a red hot irbn." r It was a glorious day for God, and Endicott was his prophet. iwo iiue ennaren were iotina, whose parents had been banished. These; terrible infants were fined for iron-attendance at church, and being unable to pay their fines, they were offered for sale, it is said as slaves. Slave Isel ling was not then so uncom mon m Massachusetts as to excite auy particular sym paty for slaves, but this ease vfas too atrocious for the none too-merciful slavers of the Boston port and' the magistrates were unable to find buyers for their property. -What ; was done with the children we do not knowi but it is fair to suppose that the , little ! scouLdrels were put to work ; under! some God-fearing puritan, and 1 that they afterwards attended church. . out it seems that rmnnn.. l:- ,;ir . . . " "vrr"'o mcipcars and bonug their tongues did not effect wniCl uk Qa, for a law hwPi3erP?n,sTlin ith rfeath those banished Qnakers who should return.

All fori n.c giory oi vrod . And the preachers we Tu 5s ?n hlind' we are toW, to see that the hanging was thoroughly done, and that the victims in their last nioments sowed no seed of Quaker heresy j among, the faithful. These preachers were all mimaf nt ri, it will be! remembered, add among the Ma a"rr 1 .a. 1 - "w uomreu ot our ftonored forefa there. ! t'Rpbinson, Stevenson, Leddd, and Mary Dyer, one after the other, were led, to the beat i of a drum, through the streets of Boston, and Jjeiyjffnomijiidiisly-put to death, an the bodies of the men were stripped and thrown into a pit without covering.? Beautiful is the sight, oh Heaven, anSl m the sight of modern politicians and prayerful preachers of the gospel are these same puritan forefathers! But 1 a isrineand clinnincr nnl - r"" ung bo banishing Quakers wu: w au c ut. Liecause pnritanism be came more merciful? Not at all Mutilated witnesses went over to the king with their ears cropped and their tongues oored, and the king sent a peremptory jorder to John Eudicott forbidding further indulgence in thafc form of Christianity. The king was a Roman Catholic. When Endicott thus found his cheif occupation gom? he laid him down and went to h'S Father in heaven. It is ever thus with the righteous. The Quakers whoni Endicott had murdered were already with their fathers in hell so our sain tr like puritans hopedat least. About thirty years later Etistern Massachnsetts witnessed the executioii of two dogs who had the misforttinf to be Recused by these enlightened forefathers of being too familiar with the devil. But saintly puritanism did not confine itself to the execution of dogs. . Something like forty innocent and peaceable men aud. women shared! the fate of the dojra. These men and women were witches. There can be no doubt about it, for they were for mally tried before the most pious and exemplary persons of the colony, and found to be witches, and such were killed in accordance with' the scriptuJ ral command, (Exodus.xxii, 18) f'lfioU shalt not, suffer a witch to live. Hut ?. exactly" where in their bible these love ly theologians found their command to crush Giles Cory, aged 81 years, to death . between two boards by piling stones on top of him, we do not know. At any rate they squoze him till his tongue stuck out and one of the dea cons poked it back with a stick, after whichi the old man died, but most obstinately. We have not half told the story, which .damns and ought, to damn for ever the verv name of puritan.! It cannot be fully told in cold These puritans were our forefathers; but blame us not for that. We are sorry for it; but its not our fault. We would say for them that they were sincere. Sincerity was about the onlv conspicuous virtue they had, yet sue did thev make of it that we can only aai mat ineir one virtue was worse that a dozen vices. It would be kindness to the puritan forefathers of New England to leave them alone in their graves, but so long as these fore fathers are annually dug up and fed with panegyric at. festal boards by our chief est men, the truth shall be told of them also, whatever their shame. They endured no hardships and displayed no fortitude to distinguish them from the earlv settlers in New York, Maryland, Virginia ana tne Carolina, mey are distinguished only by the manner in which they "served the Lord as if the devil helped them," while their con temporary pioneers offered asylum and sueircrto tne victims ot iNew ring lands remorseless pietists, aud gave men "freedom to worship God" fojne" hun dreds of miles from Boston Common.
