" 2li.L:? uus sua pioTuung vu s cor Itti-tt- w tent in the minds of the ignorant. Fnblio opinion has in a measure suppressed the expression ofjl belief in witch-craft, if noi the belief it elf. There are but few of us who have net, in our childhood's- 4avs xsteoed, in fear and trembuauL to lome old crone as she related those wonderful stories in which some handsome young man was nigh.Ijp changed into a horse, fleet and, strong, and ridden miles and milas by an eld witch to a rendcxFous Jn soma out of the way place, aoJd there hitched to a tree by a strong Walter to await the end of tef dia bolical orgies until at last poofs worn-oat, human-nature could stand no more, and the poor handsome. young man died in great agony shrieking, aud cursing the author of his mistortune, who always appear ed at the last moment Tiding on broom-stick and ready to bear away the young man s soul to the JJml. : Nearly every one ia fauriKitWitli the story ot tha gentleman who-:.wa confident that a witch rode hioi eve ry night, and so assured was he of the fact, that he could .give toa name of the witeh who rode hi or and every thing in connection with, it, except the place of rendezvous! On one occasion after having rela ted it to a friend, he was advised to mark tha spot in some manner so, that they could recognizaoit,: and? lay some plan for capturing all thjj witches at one time. So the niex; night when he had been ridden and': fastened to a tree, he determined to paw up tne ground in a peculiar manner, and to gnaw the bark from the sapling so that he might recog- a i m o nize tne spot again, an ot wnicn be accordingly did, but iu so stren- ous and determined a manner, that h suddenly perceived that he had been transformed in an instant into bis original human shape,-and was very much surprised to discover that he had been gnawing the bed post, and had gaawed a holfe through the ticking of his bed and inserted his legs amoog the feathers. A very popular .style of witches in those days, were these who kept a gourd of grease, prepared especi ally by the 'Divil,' hanging in the chimney corner, with which they annointed themselves before flying out at the top of the chimney and away on their Master's mission. Whence comes tne idea that witches are all old and ugly, I am not prepared to say with certainty. Probably because they had outlived their capabilities of being nseful to their fellow creatures, and so sold their souls to the Devil in exchange for a knowledge of witch-craft. Mv own experience of witches has been varied and extensive, but confined to an entirely different class from those I have described. All those of my acquaintance are TouDe and beautiful, bright-eyed, glossy-haired, plump, running over? With mirth ana mischief, and de mure as kittens, but none the less dangerous on that account. If the young men of the present day are not literally ridden to death by them, it amounts to something but little better. As soon as one of them becomes bewitched, his life becomes nnendurablo until he ac knowledges her power and devotes the rest of his daya to her services. Qld lied Bunkum a litfle, dried up specimen of the genu homo. bandy legged, blear-eyed, and with a shrill, crocked voice, ence related to me his experience with witches. 1 will endeavour to relate it as near ly as possible in his own words. Said he, on one occasion, when the subject was introduced in his hearing, and a doqbt of the existence of such a olass of people existed, Blast my deternal pictur ef the tint witch. and 1 kin prove it too," "Why, they've rid me from one end of the county to the other, and with eich bsavy loads on my back, that they sprung my knees like you see 'em now.

It is the rule Of this Court, in all State cases where there ia no bill of exceptions, nor statement m nature thereof, to affirm the judgment be low, unless 'there are errors appa rent on the face of the record. A magistrate has no jurisdiction of the offence of trespass upon land,' sec. HQ, chap. 32, Battle's Revise!. The Act of 1873- 74, amended such section by providing that th9 pans ishment for its violation should not exceed a fine of $50 and one month's imprisonment. The amendment to the. Constitution puts the limit of the magistrate's jurisdiction (till al tered by legislature; at o9 days, and thus the punishment, allowed by the act, of "one month," is in exeess of a magistrate s power, since a month may be 61 days, and ousts his jurisdiction.
