It was the popu lar belief, says Eaquemehng, that “ the devil ate the food, “ but I my self, not of this opinion, have often times taken away these offerings and eaten them instead of other victuals. To this I was moved be cause I knew that the fruits used on these occasions were the choicest and ripest of all.” — New York Tribune.
