p" . 4 ,:•,,,:'," the predominance of the former of these

:, , evening. 'The '-, are' not only cracked and 1
•,';' eaten, but pe 10 the means of divination in
.
. ' love affairs.' . ' - • - . ' .
~ Brand, in his "Popular Antiquities," says :
"It is a custom in Ireland ? when the young
..- , women would know if their lovirs are faith
- ful, to put three nuts upon the bars of the'
f f ..:".:-.%• grate, naming the nuts after the lovers. If a
,1, nut oracles, or ump, , the lover Will prove un
faithful; if i to blaze or. barn, he has
a regard for th person makings the trial. If
• '' • the nuts named after the girl and her lover
•, j.,: burn quietly together, they will be married."
:11 - : - ' As to ripples, there is an old custom, still ob.
;"': • ..: i'Served, of hanging a stick horizontally from
.;i, ; !, .the ceilkng by a string, and, putting a candle
.:----'....,. on one end, with an apple on the other.. The
t•: ; •, - ...'"' stick beingynade to twirl around rapidly, the
. I '. merry 7 inakers leap up and snap_ at the apple
with their teeth-their hands being kept down
-but it very frequently happens that the can
dle comes round before they are aware, scorch
. inn' them in the face or anointing them with
grease.
~;-',','.. / . But the 'grand sport with apples on Hal- •
t''' :;" ileween is to set them afloat in a-tub of water,
!' ''. auto which the juveniles, by, turns, duck their
il,l '' • heads with the view .of catching an apple.
•,. 4 15 m.,-,-Blueli amusement is occasioned by watching
'..-< the efforts of the youngsters in the pursuit et.'
~;','•,, ; , the swimming fruit, which wriggles f'ro,m side
;'. • '••• Vto:side of the tub and evades all attempts to
,' • .. capture it; while the disappointed aspirant is
„ '•••;., , obligeddo abandon the chase in ' favor of
. - * another whose turn has arrived. The apples
• ,-.; ;- that haVe stems are usually caught first;. and
•• .:c.„. - thliii c.iines the struggle to win those which
10,: .Pr have no such appendage. Some competitors
't - -A- will deftly suck up the apple, if a small one,
F!•';`‘.4 . o '; into their mouths; others plunge manfully-over
:: 4 77 , -4',.head in pursuit of a particular apple, and hay
r:.
....0 'irig forced it-to the bottom of the tub, seize it
7 firmly with their teeth and emerge,• dripping
''
• ' and triumphant, with their prize. This ven
,.."- r turesome proceeding is generally rewarded
f ' with applause by the lookers-on, and is rec -
li t
.'• .. mended by those versed inglalloween aqua
as the only sure method of attairing succ .
- - In recent years a practice has been introduced,
. probably-by sereeLtefiller mammas timorous
on the 'subject of their offspring catching cold,
• of dropping a" fork . from a height into a tub
. among the apples, and thus turning the sport
into a display of marksmanship.
• • It is somewhat remarkable that the sport of
ducting for apples is not mentioned by Burns,
whose celebrated poem of !A•Halloween " pre
sents so graphic a picture of the ceremonies
• practiced on that evening in the west of Scot
-, laud, in the poet's day. Many of the rites
there described are obsolete, but two or three
still retain place in various parts of the coun
try. Among these is the custom of pulling
. kail steam, or the stalks of cabbage. The 1
young people go out hand-in-hand, blind
folded, into the garden, and each Pulls the
first stalk which he meets with. They then
return to the fireside and inspect their prizes.
According as the stalk is big or little, straight
or crooked, so shall be the future wife orbus
, band. The quantity of earth sticking to the
• _root den_etes the amount of fortune or dowry,
and the taste of the pith indicates the temper.
Finally, the stalks are placed one after the
other over the door, and the Christian names
of the persons who chance thereafter to enter
the house, are held in the same stfacession, to
indicate those of the individuals' the
parties are to marry, '
- Another ceremony much practiced in Scot
, land-on-Ilalloween-is-that-of-theThree_
Dishes," or LuggieB. Twci of these are respec
tively filled with clean and foul water, and
- gone is empty. They are ranged on the hearth,
•when the parties, blindfolded, advance in
--''' succession and dip their fingers into one. If.
.--" •-• they dip into the clean . water they are - to
marry a maiden; if into the foul water, a
, widow ; if into the empty dish, the party so
dipping is destined to be either a bachelor or
an old maid. As eachpersentilakes a turn the
position of the diShes is changed.
The ceremonies above described aro all of
light, sportive character, but there are Oh rs
of a more weird-like and fearful7racter,
' which in this enlightened, incred ous age
. have fallen very , much , into desu " ude. One
;• ? of these is the celebrat&l spell' of eating au
: . apple before a looking-slam( with the view of
,'..
discovering the inquirer's future husband,
who, it is believed, will be seen peeping over
- her shouldef. A curious, and withal, cautious
ll.little maiden, who desires to try this spell, is
..' thus represented by 13111118 :
- ,
"Wee Jenny to her granny says :
'Will ye go wi' me, granny?
I'll eat the apple at the glass." - 1
,se
.-. &request which rouses the indignation of the
y
• - old lady :
.- ~- "Ye little_skelpie-liinmer's face;,.,
I daur you try sic iiportin '
• , . As seek the foul thiet any piece,
2 - For him to spae yeur fortune:
• Nae doubt but ye may get a sight !
'• Great cause ye hae to fear it ; 1 .
For many a ane has gotten a fright,
- . And lived and died deleeret,
, .•:: • :•• . On sic a night."
.
-)
The lady's warning was by no mm, 4 a
. '. needless one, as several well authenticated in
,-,-stances ate related of persons who,
either
;from the effects of their own imagination or
some thoughtless joke, sustained such severe '1
, ' Inervous shocks while essaying these Hallow
'• een spells as seriously to imperil their health.
• Another of these rites of All Hallow's Eve
fi,7'.. is to wet a shirt sleeve,' hang it up to the fire
to dry, and lie in bed watching it till mid
'''.• '., - light, when the apparition of the individual's
future spouse_wili come in and turn the
--. ,-. alee.td: • ' - •.. . -.- •
:•s ' . 'Other, for the invocation of spirit s „,e . t? . , Might be referred to; such as the sowing of
hemp seed, and the winnowing of three !vechts
' of_nothing, that is, repeating three times the
action of throwing grain to the wind. In all
of these the effect sought to be produced is
1 , .'. - the same-the appearance of the future wife
11
A'::. ' .• . or husband of the experimenter. A full de
f. - scription of them can be found in the poem of

lEte. jamea's Oituttott.- 7 -THe tide • of' popula
tion sweeping toward the western part of the
city has at, last compelled thq abandonment of
anothec of the venerable landmarks of Phila
delphia. &James's Church,in Seventhstreet,
above. Market, has been sold for business pur
poses; and is about to be closed and torn down;
the Corporation having stipulated that , the
sacred edifies should be demolished, and not
reserved for any secular uses y- - -
St. Jarties's Church wakfthe outgrowth of the
ancient parish of the United Churches of
Christ-Church and St. Peter's. On the 20th of
May 1806, a Committee =was appointed "to
consider the ways and means of 'building an
other church" to be united with Christ
Church and St. Peter's. At this time there
were only three Episcopal churches in Phila
delphia; Christ Church, founded in 1695, St.
.Peter's in 1761, and St. Paul's in 1762.
Thevommittee purchased the , lot now occu
pied by St. James% Church, 79 feet by 110 feet t
for the sum of 48,500 ; and on the 2341 of
March, 1807, the plan and estimates were
adopted by the vestry. , The_ building com
mittee consisted of the folloWilit then promi
nent citizens: Peter Browne,Samuel Wheeler,
John Morrell, Francis Gurney, Joseph Sims
and Henry Hawkins.
• . The new edifice was completed in the
the Sprin Rt.g
of 1809, and was consecrated May 1, 109,
ReV. Bishop White preaching the consecration
sermon. The building thus set apart for Divine
worship, and now about to yield to the march
of municipal iMprovement, is familiar to most
of our readers. .It is a simple brick structure,
well proportioned, but entirely unpretending
in its external appearance. In its internal, ap
pointments it is marked with a quiet, decoreas,
old-fashioned good taste, its high-backed pews
and solid galleries and plain windows having
undergone nochanges .for very many years.
A handsome stained-glass chancel window was
introduced a fewyears ago,and is to be removed,
to. the chapel of the new church now being
erected at Twenty-second and' alnut streets.
St. James's Church has seen singttlarly few'
changes either in its material or spiritual af
fairs. When first established it was united
to the parish of Christ Church and St. Peter's
Church, under the rectorate of Bishop White,
the 'Rev. Jaines Abercrombie being the as
sistant minister of the united churches. From
this:time antil 1829, when St. James's was
erected into a separate parish, it was under
the parochial charge of the Rev. Jackson
Kemper, now Bishop of Wisconsin; Rev.
• Jadies Milner, afterward Rector of St.
George's, New York; Rev. William A.Muhlen= '
berg,and,Rev. William 11. Delancey,afterward'
Bishop of Western New York. In 1829, the
parish became independent of. the other two
churches, although Bishop White remained its
Rector until his death in 1836. ' The late Rev.
Francis J. Hawks, 1). D_. 'was its assistant
minister for about a year;lincl in November
1820, the ltev. Henry J. Alorton was elected to
succeed Film, and occupied that 'Maiden until
he became Rector by the death of Bishop
White. - Dr. Morton has continued to hold the
rectorate of St. James's for thirty-nine years,
being now the senior , incumbent• of the whole
clerical body of Philadelphia.
it is intended to hold the last service in the'
old church on the third Sunday of November,
when a memorial sermon, appropriate to :the,
occasion, will be preached by the rector. On
the first Sunday of December, it is expected
that the new chapel will be ready for occu
pancy, and that the new church will be com
pleted before flue close of next year.
The old property on Seventh street has been
sold to Dr. Elwood Wilson for $55,000. The
new church and chapel, including the lot, will
cost in the neighborhood of $170,000. The
new St. James's will °be a very handsome
gothic edifice, combining in its material the
handsome serpentine from Delaware county,
with light sand-stone facings. Its architect is
Mr. E. T. Littell, and when completed with
the spire, which will ,ncif, be_immediately
"oneerected, it will, form "one of th handsomest
architectural ornaments of the West End.
TAE ANNIE PEoriks CASE.—The con
chiding portions of the Annie Peoples case
mere only imperfectly reported by the daily
papers, and the results of the peculiar line of
defence in regard to the use of the, dry-earth
dressings to the wounds of the deceased man
do not seem to be correctly understood. VD e
are requested by some of the friends of Dr.
Addinell Hewson to make the following
statement in re 9yence. b - tlie - niatter :
•" In the testimony which the counsel for the
defence produced for his client, he did not
prove, as, in his opening address to the jury,
he had promised to do,that Dr. Hewson's pro
fessional associates at the Hospital had repu
diated the ase of dry earth as a dressing, and
the cross-examination of those gentkomen by
the District-Attorney elicited the MN that
they bad applied to offensive Sores a
preparation of which the chief component
is clay, and that none of them believed it
to be imtating. The counsel for the de
fence did not produce a single witness, to
whom such dressings had been applied, to es
tablish that they are irritating, or in any way
injurious; nor did he produce a single witness
to corroborate the testimony of the chief wit
ness for the Aefence ' Dr. Chapman. These
facts, coupled with that of the feeling which,
this witness entertained against Dr.,Hewson,:
and with the actual abandonment by the
counsel for the defence of his adopted line,
even before any . testimony in rebuttal (which
would have included that of patients
treated with such dressing, and of eminent
surgeons in the city,who had beenSubpcenaed)
had been produced, show that the allegation
of malpractice was untrue, and could not be
sustained. Judge Ludlow, in his charge to the
_jury, set tho 3 lorth very emphatically: He
said that the Cotamonwealth had only pressed
for a verdict of murder in the second degree.
The counsel for the prisoner had conceded
that his opening address as to the maltreat
ment ball failed. There was evidence as to
fighting, sufficient, perhaps, to reduce the
grade, and the counsel on both sides had
agreed to take a verdict of voluntary man
slaughter.' un
