A TR US STORY OF . PENNSYLVANTA
Some eighty years ago, the now
flourishing town Mf Easton, ,on the
Delaware, was but asmall settlement
in one of the remote and compara
tively wild portions of Pennsylvania.
Not- far from the D,elawa,re, a double
row of low roofed; quaint looking
atone houses formed the most popu
lous part of the settlement. * * *
* * The Good fraus of
that periodt were or the class describ
' ed by a distinguished chronicler, who
"stayed at home, read the Bible, and
, -wore frocks." They4Word the same
antiquated quilted da . pa and parti-col
ored homespun golistAil,hatiVere in
fashion in the d#Y,Of renowned
venter Von Twiller, their pockets
Were always filled with work and the
implements of industry, and their
gowns and their' husbands' coats were
exclusively of domestic mandfacture.
In cleanliness and thrifty housewifery
they were excelled by none - who
have gone before, or who came after
them. The well scoured stoops and
entries, fresh and immaculate every'
morning, attested the neatness pre- I
vaihng throughout the dwellings.—
The precise order that reigned with
in, in the departments of Kitchen,
parlor and elnunber, could not be dis
turb.ed by any out of door coyamo
tion. Cleanliness and contentment
were the cares of the household.—
The tables were spread with the abun- I
dance of the good old times, and not
small was the pride of those minis
tering dames in setting forth the vi
ands prepared by their own industri
ous hands. It must not be supposed
that all their care and frugality Were
inconsistent with the dear exercises
of hospitality, or other social virtues
usually practiced in every female eom
inanity. If the visits paid from house
to house were less frequent than in
modern times,
_there:was the same
generous i.n.tereSt, in the concerns of
others, and the same desire in each
to save her neighbor -trouble by kind
ly taking the management of affairs
upon herself, evinced by BO many in- '
dividnals of the present day. In
short, the domestic police of _Easton,
'at that remote period, was apparently
as-remarkable for vigilance and se-
verity in hunting oat offenders as it
has proved to be in times of more
modern civilization.
The arrival of new residents from
the city was an e cat of importance
enough in itself to-cause no small stir
in that quiet community. The ru
mor that a small house, picturesquely
situated at the edge of a wood some
distance from the village, was being
fitted up for the new' corners, was soon
spread abroad, and gave rise to many
Co j ectt r ifee and s arm i seg.. The. new
furniture that paraded in wagons be
fore the astonished eyes of the settlers
was different from any that, - had-ever
been Seen- before; and, though it
would have been, thought simple t
enough, or even rude, at the present
day, exhihited too Muth of metropoli
tan taste and luxury to meet their ap
proval. Then a gardener was employ
ed several-days to set order - the
surrounding plot of ground, -and set
outrose bashes and ornamental plants,
the fence was painted gaily, and the
enclosure secured by a neat gate. A
few clays after, a light traveling, wag
on brought the tenants to the abode
prepared-for them_ within the mem
ory of ,a generation, hardly any oc
currence had taken place which exeit
ed so much curiosity.... The doors and
windows were crowded with, gazers;
and the younger part of the popula
tion were hardly restrained by paren,
tal authority from rushing after the
equipage. The female, who sat with
I the tidy -on the nack seat, wore a thick
veil; but the pleasant a Middle-aged
man who looked about him, and bow
ed courteously to the different groups,
attracted much attention. The man
who drove had a jolly English face,
betokening a very communicative dis
position ; nor was the promise broken
to the hope ; for, that very evening
the same personage was seated among
a few- grave-looking Dutchmen who
lingered at the tavern, dealing out his
information liberally to such as chose
to question him.. The new comer, it
appeared, waa meaner of the Colo
nial Assembly, and had brought his
family to rusticate fbr a season on the
banks of the Delaware. This family
consisted of his English wife and a
San about seven years old. They had
been accustomed, he said, to the soci
ety of the rich arid _gay, both in Phil
adelphia and in Europe, having spent
some time in Paris before their com
ing to this country.
Tha information given by the lo
quacious driver, who seemed to think
the village not a little, honored in so
distinguished an accession to its in
habitants, produced no favorable ins
pression. The honest mypheora, how
ever,were. little. to be hasty
in their judgment. They preferred,
consulting their wives, who waited
with no little impatience for,th,e Sab
bath morning, expecting then tohave
a full opportunity of criticising their
new. neighbors.
They were doomed t 9. disappoint
mqnt;
. none .of the fa m ily was at the
PAW bf . meeting s although the prac
tice of church g•?mg was one so time
honored that a journey of ten, miles
on ibot to attend religious service was
thought nothing of, and few, even of
the most worldly minded, ventured on
an. omission. The non-appearance of
the *rangers Wits a dark omen: The
next day, however, the dames of the
settlement had an opportunity of see
ing Mrs: Winton—for ao I shall call
her, not choosing to give her real
namo--L-ns she came out to purchase a
few articles of kitchen furniture. Her
style of dress was altogether different
from theirs. Instead of the hair po
matumed back from the ferehead, she
wore it in natural ringlets,; instead or
the short stiff petticoats in vogue
among the Dutch dames, a long and
Iflowing,.skirt set '.off to advantage a
fignie of remarkable grace. .At the
firstglance one could not but acknowl
edge her singular beauty: Her forth
was faultless symmetry, and her fea
tures exquisitely regular ;„.the,
plexidn being of a clear brown, set;
off by luxuriant blaCk hair, and a
pairnf brilliant clerk eyes. The ex
pression of these was uOtAeyoid 'of :a
certain faseinatiOni though it had
qo m t(2, : the
slint3l& - inind4faireti* t w4c,i#oa,,Or;
ed the elaims of the stranger to ad
miration. They could not think
ing there was a want of Modesty in I
the. bold, restless wanderings of those
eyes, bright as they were and in the
perfect self-possession the English
woman showed in her somewhat
haughty carriage. Her voice, too,
though melodious, was not l'6w in its
tone, and her laugh was frequently
heard. In short she appeared to the
- . untutored judgment of the dames
of the village, decidedly wanting in
reserve, and the softness natural to
youth in woman. While they shook
their heads and were shy of conver
sation with her, it was not a little
wonderful to notice the different effect
produced on their spouses. The hon
est Dutchmen surveyed the handsome
stranger with undisguised admira
tion, evinced- at first by a prolonged
stare, and on after occasions by such
rough courtsey as they found oppor-
tunity of showing, with alacrity of
fering to her any little service that a
neighbor might render. The women
on the other hand, became more and
more suspicious of her outlandish
gear and her,
such
smiles lay;
ished with 'profusion upon all,
who came near , her. Her charms, in
their eyes, were so many, sins, which
they:Were inclined to see her expi
ate before they relented so far as to'
extend toward her the civilities of;
neighborhood. • The more their hus,
bands praised her, the More - Alley I
stood aloof; and for weeks • after the
family had' become settled scarcely
any communication Of a friendly na- !
ture had-taken place betweenherand
any of the . ferliale population.
Little, hoWever, did the English
woman appear to care for neglect on
the part of those she evidently
thought - much inferior to herself
She had plenty of company, such as
suited her taste, and no lack ot agree
able employment, notwithstanding
her persistence in a habit which
shocked still more the prejudices of
her worthy neighbors-of leaving her
household labor to a servant. She
Made acquaintance with all who rel
'ished :her lively conversation - , .and
took much pleasure in exciting, by
her eccentric manners; the astonish
ment ot her long qaed admirers.—
She was always affable, and not
only invited those Sheliked to visit
her without ceremony, but called up
on them for any extra service she re
quired.
It was one of the„ brightest days in
October, that Mrs. Winton was rid
ing with her son' along a path leading
through the forest up the Deleware.
The read
,wound at the base of a
'hi tai n, bOrdering the river closely, ;
and was flanked 'in some. 'placoS by
precipitous rocks,' over-grown With
shrubs, and shaded by ever-hanging
trees. The wealth of ibliage appear-
ed to greater advah tage, ,teuched With
the rich tints of .antuitn-

Of Israel's priesthood, gldrions to behold 1
See yonder towering hill, with foSieete
How bright its mantle of a thousand dyes!
Edged with a silver bawd, the stream that glad,
hint silent, winds around the base. .
It can hardly:be _known-: if the ro-
mantic beauty of the scene, ;:vhich
preSented itself by glimpses through
the foliage, the bright, calm river, the
wooded hills and slopes be . yOnd, and
the villiage lying in the y ,1 the
forest, ca-lied forth as much adtuira
tier), from thoSe who gaz4ed as it has
since front spirits attuned to a vivid
sense of the. loveliness of nature.—
The sudden flight of a bird from the
bushes startled the horse, and dashing
quickly to one side, _he stood on the-
sheer edge of the precipice overlook
ing the water. The next plunge
might have been a fatal one, but that
the bridle was instantly seized by the
strong arm of a man who sprang
from the concealment of, the trees.—
Checking the frightened aminal, he
assisted the (lithe and her son to dis
mount and then led the horse for them
to less dangerouS,- ground. • In the
conversation that followed; the Eng
lish woman put forth all her powers
of pleasing;_ for the man was known
already to her for one of the mostre- ,
speetable of the settlers, though' he
had never yet sought: her- s.laciety.—

the change Was for the*orse. His
handsome wife was left, with her on
ly son, in, Easton for the Winter:—
Her behavior was now More scanda
lous than ever, and soon a total avoid
ance of her by every other female in
the place attested the indignation.---
The coquette evidently held there in
great scorn, while she continued to
receive, in a still more marked and
Offensive,,manner, the attention of the
husbands, whom, she'boasted, she had
taught they had hearts under their
liney woolsey coats. Long walks and
rides through the woods,_ attened al
ways by some one who had owned
the dower of her beauty, set public
opinion wholly at defiance; and the
company at the fireside, evening af
ter evening, was well known to be not
such as became a:Wife and mother to
receive.
Should this history, of plain, unvar
nished facitihance. to Meet the eye of
any fair trifler, who' hasheen tempted
to invite or Wereolllo such homage,
let her.paus s e and-rem eialier that the

and tibafitries.j.s.tid that. tragedies as
deep as" 'that to which it led have

tion.
The winter Month/4 passed, and
spring came'to set loose the. streams,
and fill the woods with tender bloom
and verdure. But the auger of the
justly irritated dames of Easton. had
gathered strength with time. Scarce
one among the most conspicuous of
the neighborhood but had particular
reasdii to hate the common enemyfor
the alienated affection's and Monopol
ized time of her husband, so faithful
to his duties before this fatal•enchant
merit Complaints . were made byene
to another, and strange stories told,
.Which, of course, lost nothing in their
circulation from mouth to inouth.----
What wonder was it that the myste
rious influence exercised by,' the
strange women should be attribUtcd
to witchcraft?- What wonder that
she should be judged to hold - inter
Course with evil spirits, and to receive
from them the power by which she
subdued men to her. sway ?
Late in the afternoon of a beauti
ful day in the early part of June, two
- or. three matrons of the village sta
tioned themselves near the wood by
which stood the house of Mrs. Win.
ton. Not fat' from this waS a small
pond, where the boys amused then: ;
selVes in fishing, or bathed duringthe
heat of surnther. The spot once oc
cupied , by. , this.little body of water•is
now in the central portion of the
town,.and covered with neat build
ings of brick and stone. ,
The women had Como forth to
watch :nor was .their vigilance long
unrewarded. They saw Hrs. Win
ton; akoMpanied by one of her, gal
lants, dressed with'a care that..show
ed his anxiety to please, walking
slowly along the borders Of the wood.
The ,sun had set, and the gray, shad
ows of twilight were creephig..over
the landscape ;-.yet it was evidently
not her intention to return home.—
As' it grew darker, the two entered
the wood, the female taking the arm
of her companion, and presently' - ,die•
appearai. . ,
"There he g,oas!" exclaimed pop of
the wonicia who watched, 'with .fire
in her-looks, for it was her husband
she had seen. '5 "I. knew it; .1 knew
he: spent every evening with her!"
"Shall - Nye follow them ?" asked the
other.
".No I not let, us go home quick T."
was the answer.
Such a scene as the night witness
ed was never before enacted in that
quiet village. At a late hour there
vas a meeting of many, of the ma
trons at the house of one of their
number. The curtains were closely
drawn down; the light was so dim
that the faces of those. who whisper
ed together could scarcely 'be :distin

fainter and fainter, like the co . foe 'cif
one in agony straggling to. cry • out,
and. stilled by, powerful hands. The
women rushed from the wood, drag

whom they had,,gaged so that she
could nOt , evon - girpplicate their mer
cy. Another cry was Presently heard
--the wail
,of a terrified child. The

did so. "This is for my husband rs.-
"And this for mine 1" "This ter
mine 1" was echoed with the plunges,
in quick succession, till the work of
retribution leas accomplished, and the
party hurried to shore.
Startled by a noise as of some unit
approaching, the disguised even
gees fled leaving their victim on the
bank, and lost no time hastening
hoineward. The dawn , of-day dis
' closed a dreadful catastrophe: Darns
Winton was found dead beside the
water. There was evidence enough
that she had perished, not by acci
dent, but violence. Who could, have
done the .deed.?,:..,
The occurrence created great co.lli
motion in Easton, as it was but nat
ural .it: should ; but it was -never dia.
covered with certainty who wereth*
perpetrators of the murder. Suspic
ion fell on several; but they were
prudent enough to keep silent, and
nothing could be proved against them:
Perhaps the more prominent among
the men, who should •have takeu ups
on themselves the investigation of
the affair, had thoir oWn reasons for
passing it over rather !lightly. It
was beyond doubt, too, that actual
murder bad not-been designed by the
actors in the trazedy, but simply the
piiniarnent assigned do witchcraft by
popular usage. So the natter wa's
not long agitated, though it was for
many years a subject of conversa
tion among those who had no inter
est in hushing it up; and the story
served as a warning to give point to
the lesson of careful mothers.
.
It was,for . long:titue believed that
the .ghost of the unfortunate Eng.
• lisinvoman haunted the spot where
she had died; nor did the belief cease
to prevail long after the pond was
drained, and the wood felled and the
space
,built over. A stable belonging

of the stable. Another friend, who
resides near, was told.:-by, his domes
tic that a strange woman had stood
at the.ack-gate,Avbe suddenly dis
appeared when asked who she was.
Thus there seems ground enough to

the spirit still walks at night about
