w bile lbs femprat waa at its hrisht. a visitor from
tbe lower regions, as a narrator evidently believed,
made hia appearance In tbe mld»tof the con

It," of a dog of a black colors
"ibe sight whereof, together with tne fearful
flashes of fire which then were scene, moved inch
sanitation lo the mtndea of tho aoemilte that
they thought doome'a-day wea already come."
Tne "Evil One ia such a liknessv" ran with extra*
otdii ary speed down the body of the church
among* be people. Pawing between two persons
wbo were on tbelr knees apparently engaged In
prayer, he wrung the necks of both of them In an
initant. so that they dtrd where they knelt. As
bepaiaidby another man be "gave him sueh a
gripe on the back tbat therewithal he was ores*
ently draw* ntogltber and shrank upas it ware a
ppceof lather aoorohsd lo a hot fire; or as the
mrulbof a puree or bag drawn t«glthcr with a
Mrlrg." This man, however, did not dlo. Mean
while tbe pari*h clerk, who was oleanlug out the
gntter of tbe caurch, atao aaw the "horrible shaped
thing." and was struck to tbe ground with a vio
lent clap of thunder, bnt beyond hts fall wa Cnot
harmed. The stones of the ohnroh sod tbe church
door, on being afterwards examined, bore evi
dence ofthe power of the demon In tho marks of
bi* clawa or talons; ard all the wires, the whoeU,
and other thins* belonging to the etook were
wrung In sunder and broken Ib places.
A similar occurrence la stated to havs beau wit*
iie*i(d ths fame <fey at Bribery, a villa re seven
miles from Bungay. In this case the demon pleat*
cd himself upon the rood-lott, from whloh he flung
hlmwlf down into tbe church, end after killing
two men and a lad, and burning the hand of an
other person, flew out of the chore "la a hideous
likeness."
. Brfnre dismissing this itory as a fable, bred of
tbe imaalnat’on of people terror-strickou by the
atoim, let us compare It with the aooount or an oc
currence which look plsoe on Malvern Hills the
flretrf July, 1876. A party had taken refuge to an
lion roofed but from an impending storm, and
were about to partake of refreshment when Fie
norm came on. Agentliman who waa standing
at fbe eastern entrance—tbe storm bad came from
tbe west-aaw what seemed to him to be a ball of
fire moving along the rarfare of tne ground. It

the shock, to look after his alatera. ho found tnem
on ibe floor fainting, aa he thought from terror,
Twool them bad died instantly; aud a third itdy,
with others of the party, were Injured. An exam
ination of the hut showed a large crock to the olds,
opro*Ite to tbat which tbe fireball had entered;
leading up to a window, and tho Iron roof above
this waa Indented.

a paiticu'ar kind of tbuude stroke that we cannot
