WITCHCBAFT AT EPIIBATA.
A Dubious Story Frem a Dubious Source.
A Reading correspondent of the Phila
delphia Timet writes the following sensa
tional story te that paper :
Dr. Diller Luther, secretary of the state
beard of charities, returned te his home in
this city from Lancaster yesterday, in
which place he brought suit against a
number of persons en the charge of rob
bing a grave. The defendants live in the
small village of Ephrata, a Dunkard vil
lage of Lancaster county. The principal
of the accused is named Spanglcr. lie and
his associates in the alleged crime are
charged with having entered a vault and
taken out a portion of the remains depos depes
i xd therein. Three of the parties entered
bail and will be n icd at the August term
of court in Lant istcr.
An old resident of Ephrata drove te this
city te-day, from whom additional details
were learned, lie says : "Things are very
much mixed up ever there among these
old Dunkaids. The fight is for the posses
sion of the old property that was originally
established by the brethern and sisters of
the cloister. These old Seven-day Bap
tists were a queer people', you knew ; were
no buttons, but fastened their clothing
with hooks and eyes : were their hair long,
great bread rim black hat, and very plain,
brown clothing. The sisters were plain
and simple gowns, white caps
and black pasteboard bonnets. They
lived in a colony at Ephrata several hun
dred years age. A number of the wooden
buildings they erected are still standing
and are in splendid condition, bidding fair
te stand another century. There are sev
eral hundred acres of excellent land con
nected with the old cloister. The control
of nil this property, it appeal's, has re
cently changed hands and theie is a tight
between the " ins" and the " outs"
among these straight-laced people. The
" outs" arc making an ell'eit te find
some lest records. They have in vain
scaiched the history of the cloister that
was punted at Ephrata away back in
the last century. It is in the German
language. New, it is said, the i epert was
started that a number of valuable records
were buried with some of the old dead
people in the vaults and that that of Dr.
Luther's ancestor was net the only one in
vaded and searched for old papers and
titles. But this suit of the doctor's will
clear up the mystery. I am sure that a
number of startling things will be revealed.
The men who weie arrested aietoe small
te open a vault .simply through curiosity
and mischief. I have even heard it inti
mated that an old witch woman named
Fisher, residing near Keiiiheldsville, net
far from Ephrata, had something te de
wish the rebing of the graves. 1 don't be
lieve in witches.but there are plenty in that
neighborhood who de. I will simply
give you the story as it is repeated ever
there. It is te the ellect that a number
of old Diiiikards consulted this old witch
woman about some lest records they were
after. She went through a number of in
cantations and strange movements at
midnight, and finally told them te ransack
a certain grave where the teceids would
be found. Whether the paities that were
arrested by Dr. Luther are the same ones
thai went te the witch woman I cannot
siy. Anether story is that the witch woman
advised them te steal a ceitaiu skull, hang
it under the eaves of a smoke house and
wait until after the first thunder storm.
The whereabouts of the lest records would
then be revealed. New the facts are that
a grave and vault were bieken open and a
skull stolen therefiem, but whether it was
done in accordance with the witch woman's
advice I certainly don't knew. Just the
ether day I heard of a young woman of
that neighborhood who burned a lock of
her hair in a graveyanl at night in order
that she would dream of the liidimr place
of a let of stolen jewelry. She had been
told te de it by tiie old witch woman I refer
te. Shu can make many of the people
about there helieie most anything.''
' UNKNOWN."
I'dii ml Druu ncd at Columbia.
The body of an unknown drowned nrin
was found lying in the shallow water en
top of the Columbia dam. opposite Head's
fish battery, at neon yesterday. Deceased

Attempted Burglary.
A few weeks age, it will be remembered,
the house of Christian Smith, sr., at Wil
low Street was entered by thieves, who
stele a considerable sum of money. On
Friday night last another attempt
was made te rob the house. A
granddaughter of Mr. Smith was asleep in
the house and she was awakened by the
noise. Upen looking out of the window
she saw two men at work trying te ejmjii
one of the windows down stairs. She
gave the alarm by blowing a horn, which
brought several neighbors te the house,
but before their arrival the burglars had
lied.
Te Succeed Jehn Hening.
It has been agreed by the powers that be
that te succeed Jehn Hertiug, prison in
spector, resigned, the county commissioners
shall elect Jacob L. Hoffmeier, who was
for many years the clerk in that institu institu
tien. Mr. II. is the father of the HolT HelT
ineier brother, cabinet makers and furni

Festival.
On Saturday eveuiug the " Sens and
Daughters of Abraham," a society com
posed of colored people of this city, held a
festival in the A. M. church, en Market
street. The attendance was large aud the
order geed.
ATTEMPTED INCENDIARISM.
Knapp's Brewery Set en Fire.
. Between 1 and 2 o'clock Sunday morning
an attempt was made te burn Knapp's
brewery en Locust Btreet, this city. Ad
joining the brewery, which is a large,
substantial brick structure, is a large
frame shed and ice house. The ice house
is double walled, and the interstices be
tween the two walls are filled with shav
ings. Near one corner of the building
there is a small opening in the beards
with which the building is covered, and
into this opening the incendiary had
stuffed a quantity of cotton waste, saturated
with coal oil. Mrs. Brimmer, wife of An
drew Brimmer, the pretzel baker, who
lives near by, was the first te discover the
fire and at once gave the alarm. Mr. Jehn
Knapp, Mr. Kegel and the Messrs. Huber
wcie seen en hand and without much diffi
culty succeeded in extinguishing the
flames, the less being trifling. Had the
fire gained a very slight headway the re
sult might have been disastrous, as the
building lircd and ethers in the vicinity
are located en such high ground that it is
almost impossible te get from the city
mains a supply of water sufficient te fur
nish the iiie-cnginch.
LOCAL TOBACCO MAUKLT.
Operations During the Week Vast.
Although a geed many buyers have been
in town during the past week, no great
amount of trade has been done se far as is
known te the outside world. There arc
rumors that quite a number of packings of
1871J have changed hands, but if this be se,
the buyeis ami sellers alike are very close
mouthed about the operations, and neither
the amount of sales nor the prices paid
have been made public.
Of old tobacco, about :J00 cases of 1S78
are known te have been sold during the
week en private terms.
The young plants are growing finely,
but in many places have been attacked by
flies and numbeis of them hopelessly in
jured. We hear of a few fields that have
been already set out with early plants, but
general planting will uet commence for a
week or two at least and net se seen un
less we should be blessed with a geed soak
ing rain. The warm, dry weather has al
most unfitted the soil for seeding, even if
the plants were in readiness.

Tlic New Presbyterian Mission Paster.
A large audience last night greeted Rev.
Hume, the new pastor of the I'resbjlcrian
Memeiial mission, who selected as a text
the 1st and 2nd verses of the Oth chapter
of 2nd Corinthians, from which he
preached a veiy able and nppiepriatc ser
mon. Mr. 11. is a pulpit orator of de
cided ability. He speaks rapidly, but ar
ticulates distinctly, and preaches entirely
without notes. The impression created
last night was very favorable. He will
be absent until the 23d. when regular ser
vices will be established.

Vine Culture and Wjiie Making.
Mr. Alfred Speer, of l'as-aie, N. J., se long

the reach of the poorer lamilies who need a
pure and rich wine ler medicinal purposes.
Mr. Spccr's mode et fermenting and keeping
his -a ine differs from the uuul methods. This
is the reason why it is se much superior in
quality; but it requites four years' manage
ment and change of temperature In order te
make such a pertect fine wine as this is; the
knowledge of changing te various tempera
tures at different times, and at the right time,
is where he has the advantage of getting se
rich a wine without the uc of liquor. I.aige
quantities of Speer's Tort Grape Wine have
been ordered te Seuth America, and ccnte

as superior te most European wines. It is

In addition te a full stock et the celebrated Rogers Bre.'s goods, we have the exclusive sale
in this city et the electro-plated ware et the Graham Manufacturing Company. These are the
be t finished and most ;durable in the market, and in recommending them te the trade this
company (whose representations are always reliable) claim ler them the following merits:
The base of the Grahain electro-plate is of nickel silver. The slver-plateil wares made upon
this base combine all the excellence of the solid silver goods except the intrinsic value of the
silver itself. One of the remarkable features of the process of electro-plating Is pertect accu
racy and delicacy with which the finest line of the engraving or chasing traced en the surface
of the nickel base is reproduced en the surface of the silver coating. Thus all the excellence of
workmanship which has earned for the company its reputation as makers of sterling silver
goods Is made tributary te the production of unsurpassed electro-plate. The quantity of pure
silver deposited en the finely finished base exceeds that upon the best of foreign plate. This
ware would be excellent and take a line polish without a coating et silver, yet upon it is laid a
silver surlace which will if net abused last mere than a generation. Theebjectis te produce
plated ware which shall have all the beauty of the solid wares. This high grade et ware is un
dlstlngulshable from work in Sterling silver. Its pattern, ornaments and workmanship are
made equal te these for which the Company's Sterling Silverware has been se highly com
mended. Te these conditions is added the undettnable air or style which distinguishes the
genuine in everything from the work et imitators and which naturally transfers itself from
the Sterling te the plated ware. The price et these goods is only a trifle higher than some of
he inferior productions.

Brandy as a Medicine.
The following article was voluntarily sent te
Mr. H. E. Slaymakcr, Agent for Reigart's Old
Wine Stere, by a pieiniuent practising physi
cian of tliis county, who has extensively used
the Brandy referied te in his regular practice.
It is commended te the attention of these af
flicted with
Indigestion and Dyspepsia.
BRANDY AS A MEDICINE.
This new much abused Alcoholic Stimulant
was never intended as a beverage, but te be
used as a medicine of great potency in the cure
of some of the destructive discuses nhich
sweep away their annual thousands of victims.
With a purely philanthropic motive we pre
sent te the favorable notice et invalids espe
cially thee alliictcd with that miserable ilis
ease Dyspepsia, a speciiic remedy, which is
nothing mere or less than
Brandy.
The aged, with feeble appetite and mere or
less debility, will lind this simple medicine,
when used properly,
A Sovereign Remedy
erall their ills and aches. I5e it. he.vever
strictly understood that we prescribe and use
but one article, and that is
KEIGAKT'S OLD BILLXDY,
Sold by our enterprising young friend,' II. E
SLAYMAKEK. This Brandy has steed the
test ler years, and has never tailed, as tai
ns our experience extends, and we theiel'eie
give it the preference ever all ether Brandies,
110 mutter with hew many jaw-breaking French
titles they are branded. One-fourth of the
money that is yearly thrown away en various
impotent dyspepsia spccilics would sulliee te
buy all the Brandy te cure any such case or
cases. In proof et the curative powers et
Reigart's Old Brandy,
In cases of Dyspepsia, we can summon nuin
hers et witnesses one c:we 111 particular we
cite:
A hard-working tanner had been mulcted
with an exhaustive Dyspepsia for a number of
years; ms sieniacn weuiu reject almost every
kind et feed; he had sour eructatiens con
stantly 110 appetite in tact, lie was obliged te
restrict his diet te crackeis and stale biead,
and as a beverage he used McGrann's Reet
Beer. He is a Methodist, aud then, as new,
preached at times, and in his discourses often
declaimed earnestly against ail kinds of strong
diink. When advised te trv
Reigart's Old Brandy,
In his case, he looked up with astonishment,
but after hearing of its wonderful effects in
the cases et some of his near acquaintances, lie
at last consented te fellow our advice. He
used the Brandy faithfully and steadily; the
lli-st bottle giving hiiiiun appetite, and before
the second was taken he was a sound man, with
a stomach capable of digesting any tiling which
lie chose te eat. He stilt keeps it und uses a lit
tle occasionally ; and since lie h:is this medi
cine he has been of very little pecuniary bene
fit te the doctor. A Puactisiiie Physician.
