Po l.uHy as the middle of this century
a Rirl of t-ouloburgh, near Wick, wi
accuceil ot being: In lrogup with the
"lMr o' m;it'-hlef," and a remedy akin
to th.it rvently practiced w'.th uch
tragic r.viilt In Irfl.nd was devleed. Sht
was pU?od In a basket lined with .hav
ings of wood, which waa then hung over
a fire. The Icsuo In thin case wa not
fatal, tnu the fJlk averred that h waa
not "h4lf so witch-like" after ah had
l:rn alnged. A hag of the Northern
lilt- w.g, at times, thought to be meta
morphosed into a porpoise, and In fal
weithcr she would dive under and over
turn a flsn'.njr boat, against whose skip
per she bir a grudge. On one ocoaatotl
fho was made to pU"e her hand on tha
bodies of aeveral men who had met their
death In such a way, and, In the worda
of the old chronicler, one "bled at tha
collar bane," another "In the hand, and
finKers. pushing out hlutd thalrat to tha
t;reat admiration? of the beholders and
revelation of the Judgment of the A1
myelitic." A ho.-t of storing toll of Northern witch

lest it b,' poisoned. In Shetland the cat
or vant-Ja is regarded as an animal
which brings good luck; If she Is een to
run to-.vard the boat's nust, there Is aura
to be a good catch. In Caithness, on tha
contrary, witches frequently appear In
the form of cats. A carpenter of Scrab
stcr In olden times was systematically
rubbed of his meal and cakes. H
thought it "cu'na be cannie," and ona
night as he watched he saw a number of
ca:a uYviiurlnK his property. In a trice
lie cut off the right leg of one of them,
whereupon they made their escape with
a rapidity which confirmed his former
suspicions. Shortly afterward an old
woman, who had always been looked up
on with disfavor, was found dead In her
lone cottage, bereft of her right leg.

What (M Hill Di on Clnuily I)t.
"What time will that train be in, do
you think?" asked the impatient man.
"It n pretty hard to tell," answered
the agent of rhe little southern branch
line. "Seuce Bill's tree was cut down
by a puck of dura fool niggers after a
coon he finds it a heap of trouble
makin' Jest the right time."
"Hill's tree?"
"Yes, Bill, he is the conductor, you
know. The tree I was speakln' of
stood alongside the track about thirty
mile up the road from here, an' when
the train come along and the sliad
ders of the tree laid acrost the mid
dle of the top rail of Buck Johnson's
fence, Hill knowed he was on time,
and could gauge her about right to
git here on schedule time. Now them
fool uiggers has cut it down, and all
Bill has got to go by is his own guess.
Company was talkin' some of puttln'
up a pole In the place whar the tree
useter be, but they ain't done It ylt."

Thought It Wu Personal.
A physician la a southern city, who
rejoices In the good old name of
Elijah, tells an amusing story of him
self, which, as he is truthful, is credit
ed and enjoyed by his friends. He la
a member of the Baptist church', but
one Sunday morning, he went to the
Presbyterian church for the purpose
of hearing an old friend of hla boy
hood, who was passing a few weeks
in the city, and had been asked to
preach. The physician was a little
late, as physicians have a right to be,
and on entering the church Just as the
text was announced hjas somewhat
startled by the apparently personal
and direct question, addressed to him
from the pulpit, "What doe.st thou
here, Elijah?" The sermon which fol
lowed reassured him, but In telling
the story he always says that for a
moment he felt as If all the blood in
his body were In his face. Youth'a

Tha Mule Was Glad to Get Home.
The remarkable memory of a mule that
was driven to Texas from this county 10
or 12 years ago was shown last year,
when he wag driven back to the neigh
borhood of his old homa. The mule was
driven to Texas by Sam Strange, who
lived in Glensfork neighborhood, and wag
brought back by Jonathan Wataon. Tha
first night after his arrival he broke
away and went Immediately to his old
home, where he kept his dulclferoua
voice floating upon the night air until
daylight. It Is supposed from his aotions
that he, like most people who go from
here to Tgxas and return, had enough of
that country and was glad to get back.
