March was ushered in this morning by the fiercest storm which has been seen here for years, and it is almost certain to leave sad mementoes in its wake along the seaboard line. Not a sailing craft left port this morning, and only the largests steamers dared poke their noses into the sixty mile-an-hour gale which is racing off Sandy Hook. The wind played havoc with the shipping anchored off Staten Island and a number of small craft were driven ashore. Reports from all along the Jersey roast tell a unanimous story of furious winds and raging surf. At Long Beach huge slices of the bluff were carried away by the tide. All over the bay the ferryboats were bobbing up like so many cockleshells. The deep est snow ot the year covers the ground of all the villages on the Lower Hud son, and sleighs are again out. The snow drifted badly in some parts of Rockland county, owing to the high inds which prevailed all night. A five-itory brick building in course f erection at No 127 Garden street, Hoboken, collapsed during the storm this morning. The walls fell upon the adjoining two-story frame house owned ly Liveryman Thomas King. Kingjs family and that of James Smith, a coachman, lived in the six rooms above the stable, which occupied the ground floor. They were awakened by tons of brick and mortar crashing in the roof of their dwelling. Singularly enough, all escaped unhutt.

The grounds on which it was maintained that the tariff was unconstitutional were that the tobacco rebate section of the bill had been omitted in its enrolment after passage by congress, and, therefor, that the bill si gncd by the president Wi s not the bill passed by the legislature department of the government t the re ciprocity feature was a transmission to the executive of the law making power, and therefore void, vitiating the whole act ; and hs'ly, that the act was void because of the sugar bounty pro vision. The court affirmed the judg ments of the New York and Illinois circuit courts of the United States in favor of the constitutionality of the act. MILLVILLE.

The two hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of the frenzy tint led to the executbn of so-called witches at Salem, Massachusetts, wai recognized by a meeting held at that place on Monday evening. The beginning of this delusion was th" issuance of a warrant by John Hawthorne and John Ccrwin on February 29th, 1691, for the arrest of Sarah Goode on complaint of witchcraft. "Salem witchcraft" it has always been called, and doubtless always will be, but it was nothing but the continu ation of those extraordinary delusions, the manifestations, undoubtedly, of what is known now as hypnotism, that had occurred in old England and in Germany. The famous persecutions of VVurzburg, Bamberg, and elsewhere in Germany occurred in the first and middle parts of that same century, and were fresh in mind at the time of the Salem trials. An Indian woman, Tituba, and two white women, Sarah Osborn and Sarah Goode, were charged with bewitching children. Sarah Good was a poor, ignorant woman, whose husband had forsaken her and left her to the mercy of evil tongues. The very next morning, March 1st, the Justices summoned Mrs. Good before them for examina tion at the village tavern kept by Na thaniel Ingersoll. But so great was the public interest in the case that a geat throng assembled and there was not room for them in the tavern. The Justices accordingly went over to the church and the examination was con ducted there. Justice Hawthorne was foremost in questioning the accused. He asked her why she so afflicted the children. She denied that she did it. He asked her, then, through whose agency she did it, and she replied that she did not do it at all, either directly or indirect ly. Then the children were brought before her. They all declared that it was she who bewitched them. And then, at the instant, they were all strick en with convulsions and other nervous disorders. Forthwith the three women accused were committed to jail at Boston to await trial 1 efore a higher court. A few days later Sarah Good's daughter Dorcas, only five years old, was also arrested ; Martha Corey was the fifth victim, and on Mrch 21st, the sixth and most famous, Rebecca Nourse, was taken into custody. About the time of the execution of Charles I. there had migrated from England to Massachusetts a very de vout family of the name of Towne. There were three daughters Rebecca, Mary and Sarah. Rebecca married Thomas Nourse, the landlord of an inn, and at the time of the "witcheries" she was between 70 and 80 years old. Mrs. Nourse was somewhat deaf from age ; her health was good, except for certain infirmities of lone standing, which Mr. Parris converted into "dev ils marks " She was the honored head of the society of the village, and had brought up her family in uprightness. Her sister Mary was then 58 years of age, and the wife of Goodman hasty, the owner of a large farm. She had seven children, and was living in exse and comfort. She had been twice mar ried. Her husband was Peter Cloyse, who was a prominent citizen of the place. A minister named Parris bor e ill feeling toward Landlord Nourse, so it is not surprising that the "arncted children, trained in the parsonage parlor, should, after their first suc cesses, name Goody Nourse as one of the allies lately acquired by Satan. They declared they had seen her bit ing the black servants, choking, pinch ing, pricking women and children.and it she were examined they were sure "devil s marks" would be found upon her. She was examined by a jury of her own sex and reported to bear the sex and reported to bear the marks they were looking for. She was then brought to the meeting house to ans wer the charges brought against her to the Magistrates. The aged woman could explain nothing, could only as sert her innocence. Weary and dis heartened, worn out with the noise and the hysterics of the "afflicted," htr head dropped on one shoulder. Im mediately all the "afflicted" had twist ed necks, and many hands seized Mrs. Nourse's head to set it upright "lest other necks should be broken by the evil offices." Finally the venerable matron was carried to jail and put in irons. Other arrests tollowed, of men as well as of women. George Jacobs and his son George, and the latter's wife, Rebecca, and daughter Mar garet; Giles Corey, John Proctor and his whole family, consisting of his wife and four children; Bridget Bishop, and even a former minister of the Salem church, the Rev. Samuel Burroughs, were arrested, charged with witchcraft. But these were only a few. Wher ever, in all that region, anyone was ill or troubled in any way, witchcraft was si spected. About the middle of May Governor Phiprs ordered a Court of Oyer and Terminer to convene. It convened in the old Court House at Salem, and got promptly to work with the trial of Bridget Bishop on June 2. blie was selected as the first to be tred, be cause some dozen years before she had been accused of witchcraft in a former outbreak of the mania, and was thus regarded as offending a second time, bhe was found guilty, and hanged on June 10. mat y-, a fearful summer in Salem. On June 27 the - curt reas sembled and kept at work until the docket was cleared. Almost incietl blc tortures were put to use to force the victims to confession. But whether they confessed or not they were speedily convicted and c.ondemncd,and dallows f 1 1 11 claimed them lor itsown These were executed in July: Reb- becca Nourse, Llizabi th Howe, Sarah Wildes, Susannah Martin and Sarah Good. In August the Rev. George Bur- roughs, John Willard, the elder Geo, Jacobs, John Proctor and Martha Carrier were hanged. And in Sep tember the additional victims were Samuel Ward well, Wilmot Reed, Martha Corey, Alice Parker, Mary Parker, Margaret Scott, Mary Esty and Ann Pudeator. Mr. Borroughs, the minister, had greatly provoked his Judge by resting his defence on the bold argument "that there neither are, nor ever were, witches that, having made a compact with the devil, can send a d?vil to torment other people at a distance. After September, 1602, no more per sons were put to death in New Eng land for witchcraft, though many were arrested. Two bewitched dogs were, however, hanged at Salem. That winter a gentlemen in Boston who naa oeen cnargea wiin sorcery ana acquitted obtained a warrant for the arrest of l is accusers for defamation of character, laying his damages at $5,000. This did more than anything else to discourage the witch-hunters. . Finally, in April, 1693, the Gover nor pardoned and set free a 1 who were in jail un.ler charge of sorcery, and the dark chapter was ended. People became ashamed of the craze from which they had suffered. In their remorse over the shedding of innocent blood, they turned fiercely up on the Rev. Mr. Parris, in whose household the mania had started, and accused him of being the instigator of all. Many withdrew from his congre gation, and though he defended him self stoutly, he never regained the confidence of the public. The foregoing is gleaned from an article in the Philadelphia Times of March 1. It's sometimes said patent medicines are for the ignorant. The doctors fester this idea. "The people," we're told, "are mostly ignorant when it comes to medical science." Suppose they are I What a sick man needs is not knowledge, but a cure, and the medicine that cures is the medicine for the sick. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures the ' do be lieves" and the don't believes.'' There's no hesitancy about it, no "if nor "pos sibility. It says "I can cure you, only do as I direct." Perhaps it fails occasionally. The makers hear of it when it does, because they never keep the money when the medicine fails to do good. Suppose the doctors went on that principle.

This means a big loss of revenue to the county, and much anxiety prevails among interested parties. The gay yourg bicyclist he's in his bed Not for him is the spring sun shining.
