WITCHCRAFT.
About tho year 1760, the fury of tho inhubU
tants of New-Edgland had declined towards
suspected old women, but their believing fear
was not altogether quelled. At this time a case
of witchcraft occurred at Billerica, tinder the
ministry of Re r. Dr. Cummings, who related
the story with much satisfaction, as the last
which came within bis precincts.
An old woman of vory peaceable character
lived pretty much alone in a shell of a houso
near the meoting-hduse and the clergyman’s
dwelling. She was siispeclod of witchcraft by
a family that lived at two miles distance in the
west part of the town, arid they brought accu
sation immediately to the parson, who, in those
early times, exercised not only the sj^ritual,
but temporal poiver of the parish} he was of
ten counsel for both parties, and was judge and
jury, without subjection to appeal—he was
moreover a peacemaker. Mr. C. accused- Mrs
D. of witchcraft. “How do you know she is
wiichT’ “Because she has bewitched my
mare.’* “How do you know tfrat your mare
is bewitched,’’ “ Because she wont sinnd still
to be saddled, And the minute l:get erf she kick*
up and throws trie off.” “But what makes
you think that Mcs. D. has bewitched her T”
No answer.—“Hayo you had a quarrel with
her I” “ Oh, riq 11 han’t had -no quairel.”—
“Bui what is the matter? surely she would not
bewitch her for.nothing.” “Why I carried
her some corn on tbe mare about a week ago;
and I did’nt know but I might have made n mis
take in the measure so that I fell short; and so’’
“ And because your corn fell short, you sus
pect she found it our, and is so angry as to be
witch your mare I” “ Yes, that’s it, and I want
S ou to go and lay the devil.” “Why, if ytju
avo raised the dovil by cheating in the corn,
ou had better lay him yourSalf;”—“Yes, but
don’t know how;” “ Go, then, directly, and
carry tho balanco of the corn, and take good
care never to commit such an act again; the
dovil is always busy with people who do notper-
form all their duties honestly,”
Tife mao slunk away home at this tlnexpect
ed ifchnke, and failed not to cariy corn enough
to make full measure, which however, he fear
ed to carry into the house to the old woman,
but emptied it down upon the door stone. But
the mare censed not to kick as usual; where
upon Mr; C. came again to the minister, told
wltat'he hud done, begged for holy assistance.
“ Go home!” said the parson, with ail that em
ergy for which he was so remarkable, “go home
you need not trouble yourself about witches; I’ll
notallow them to do any mischiof; 1 assure you
do your duty so as to escape a guilty con
science, and if your mare is refactory, whip her
as I do mine—go, and let me hear no more a-
bout witches.” Mr. C. obeyed, but was fir
from being’convinced that Mrs. D. wa* hot a
witch, arid he determined to put it to the proof.
For this purpose lie boiled a large potatoe, and
int it directly from the bailing water, under the
Tewitched niaro's saddle, ' he caperings and
kicking* of the poor beast wero excusable this
time, at least, for whan after some hours the
saddle was got off, it was found that a severe
mark was left behind it. The proof of the mat'
ter was to be in this; if the old woman had be
witched the mare, she would have the same
mark ofn burn on her back. Two womett were
prevailed upon to be of an examining commit
tee. Dr. Cummings was requested to be oftho
tarty, with his biblo at hand, to prevent any
'aial explosion of firo nnd brimstone from Sa
tan's nostrils. This office be prudently declim
ed. His place was filled with another old wo
man, and Saturday night was dppointad. for tho
examination. This time was chosen because
the good people thought that Satan would not
visit ill holy hours. In the mean time the good
womah got an inklingof what Was going on; nnd
as they entered a long dark entry, they were
splutcd with u ttupenduous Bash of powder
nnd tow; and a gloriuus clatterof tin pans. The
committee were scattered of coitrso—arid be
fore church the riext morning every body in the
town knew, that the Devil came, all covered
with blue brimstone, to save His disciple, the
wicked Mrs. D. This would have mado a new
era in witchcraft in the town, but for the per
tinent remarks of the pdrson touching the mat*
tor; for he wus onablad to dispense a word in
season.
Sleair-boat docks; I passed quirt; a coiulo a*
blenight I assure you. His dress h<d the ap
pearance of having dono much service; bin tiis
general air, far outstrip; tlie admired disorder
of his toilet, ; : ’
This young irian is a specimen of many that
cometotown, without friends; without acquaint
ance; without advisers. Thoy are left to rlio :
guidance oftheirownviewsnnd feelings; Com
ing from the country, with habits of indusrry,
they would probably soon become useful mtiii-
bdrs of Society; but neglect urges then! from
weakness to wickedness; from wickedness to-
crime; and crime too often leaves them in the
penitentiary or state prison, to bite their thumb i,
or hammer granite slabs. Not long since; %
young fellow from the country; who had -been
jobbing about the town for some time, acqdireft
the habits of intoxication; plunged headlong in*
to its snares, and id consequence, Was found
dead on one 6f the wharves* a prey to a view
equally destructive to intellect; happiness, arid
respectability.
.HINTS TO MECHANICS.
Avoid giving long credits even to' your he*}
crvto’rrv'ra. A uwti Who can nay easily wilt not
thank you for the delay; ano a slack dow if A
paymaster is not too valuable a rusiotner io •!««
sharply and seasonably. A fish may its Weil at
tempt to live without water or a man-without
air, as a mechanic without punctuality and
promptness in collecting and paying his delfts.
It is a mistake and ruinous policy to attempt tdt
keep or get business by delaying collections#
When you lose a slack-paymaster from your
books, you only lose the chance of losing your
money—apd there is rid man who pays mure
money to lnwyers than he who is least proiript
in collecting for himself;
Take care how you ngreo to pay money fdr
your 8tock;your provisions, ydur rent, or youl
fuel, and take dog skin fdr your Work. One
hand must wash the other, as poor Richard says,
or both will go to jail dirty. Every man’s trade
might to bring him money enough to pay all
money demands against him ; and no man cie
stand it long, who does not get money enough,
froril his' business to pay the cash exnePces of
carrying it on.—[Farmers* Almanack.)

POLICE OFFICE, Tuesday,
A young philosopher in search tiftcork.-^An
officer brought up a young man with a very
goudi 'humoured expression of countenance,
that a phronolugist, or rather physiognomist,
would say, was situated half way between the
comic of Rabelias and the solciitu of Socrates.
He Wes hi search uf work. Thy officer fti-J
nicked him up somewhere about town, for the
humane purpose of saving the youth’s life from
accident, ahd keeping his dwn hand in the trade
of catching every - tiling suspicious. “ How
long have you been in totirnl when were you
shaved ! what money had you when you got
heret are these clothes you have got on your
back, your whole ■ wardiobn t”' These were
some of the questions put to him. He answer
ed them with the utmost nom h.danco. ", I am
from Wilmington; I had #13 00 when I came
here; I get my living by-jobbing about; I have
made about $30 since I came to New York; I
was shaved last Snriday week; and I have been
severultimes at mybarbur's, but 1 could not find
him ih.” The yftung man was tolerably good
looking. H is beerd was nearly of a fortnight’s
growth, having beettmo, during tho last showy rv
weather, quite respectable and antique. He
bad been perfectly indifferent to the article of
human life;caUad by the poets, “balmy sleep."
“ Sometimes," said he, “I sleep in Washington
street, sometimes in Vesey-sireet, sometimes
no-where. I generally pay a six-pencc for a
good sound sleep. Now, last night I did not
sleep at alL I took a pleasant walk down by
