Satan in New Hampshire. HOW HE MADE A CONTRACT WITH A AVOMAX FOR HEB SOTJI,, AND HOW HE WAS CIR CUMVENTED BY THE MINISTERS, DEA CONS AND ELDERS. The "Waterville (Me.) Mail is publish ing extracts from the diary of the late Rev. Asa Redington, of "Waterville, who was a Revolutionary soldier. The strange incident recorded, below hap pened in New Salisbury, N. H., in 1784, while he was working for a Mr. Gree ley: "An elderly lady by the name of Bai ley, and of whom it was said she was a lover of toddy, happened to be at the barn one day, when there came on a heavy shower of rain and thunder, dur ing which period the prince of darkness appeared unto her. In consequence of some valuable promises made to her, she entered into a contract with him, agreeing to give herself up. both soul -and body, to his infernal majesty, at a certain hour on a certain day, and in about six days after this interview. When the storm was over the good lady returned to the house and gave them a history of what had taken place, adding that she had signed and sealed the con tract with her own blood, showing the wound on her finger from whence the blood was drawn! Her friends were ex ceedingly alarmed at the dreadful story, and the news spread like wildfire both far and near, and oh, what could be done to save her? Notice was immedi ately given to Mr. Searl, the then set tled minister of the town, and, like a good shepherd, he determined to defeat the evil one if possible. Accordingly, on the Sabbath following he mentioned the appalling circumstances to the con gregation, and with tears in his eyes told them (I being one of his headers) that the prince of darkness had appear ed in bodily shape to one of his parish ioners, and on a certain day was again to make his appearance, according to the contract, and take off with him a member of his church to the regions 6i despair, and on the day mentioned for the exhibition he should, by consent of the church then present, appoint a meeting, and wished that if any one present had any objections he would make it known." A pause then ensued and not even a whisper was heard. The minister then said he should, and ac cordingly did, appoint the meeting. On that important day a multitude of per sons of all ages assembled in Mr. Vet- tingill's orchard on an elevated piece of ground, measures having been previ ously taken to have ten or twelve mm isters from the neighboring towns to at tend the meeting, and they accordingly appeared on the ground in due season for the exercise. The good old lady was then introduced and placed in the center of the multitude, the ministers forming in a circle around her, then another circle composed of deacons, elders and members of churches pres ent, and then in the rear of those the multitude formed in close column Everything then being prepared for action, and at least one hour before the time appointed for his satanio majesty to make liis appearance, the exercises began oy singing, praying and snppli cations, all in favor of the good old lady and against the tempter, which con tinued until 5 r. m. It being several hours after the time appointed for the i i i i explosion, auti no smeii oi Drimsiono or appearance of danger, the multitude be gan to disperse, and the lady was de livered over to her friends, and by sun set the ground was cleared. Mr. Gree ley, early in the day, geared up his old steed with saddle and pillion, went a number of times, taking the females of his family on to the ground in season, and returning home in the same way, which was not accomplished till nearly dark. I did not attend at these scenes of folly, but the meeting took place in sight of where I was hoeing corn in Mr. Greeley's field, and I couJd plainly see the gathering multitude at the place of action. The particulars of what took place at the meeting I had from several persons present. My brother, Thomas Redington, then resided near Mr. Gree ley's, and had a knowledge of the trans action, and now recollects it." The Silver Report. A "Washington correspondent says that Senator Jones, Chairman of the Silver Commission, h-s practically compiled his report, and will be ready to subinit it to Congress immediately upon its assembling in Oc tober. The report is an extremely long document. It attempts to cover the whole question of silver as a circulating medium from the earliest time. It is very forcible in favor of the remonetiza tion of silver. The report argues that silver has always been an important factor in the monetary transactions of all nations, and has always borne the same relative value as gold, and that the pass age of the act of 1873 demonetizing sil ver was characterized by extraordinary lack of information as to the effect that such an act would produce. In connec tion with the consideration of the silver question tho report discusses the obli gations of the Government in the pay ment of United States bonds. The posi tion assumed by the Commission in their report is that the act of 1870 is a contract under which all subsequent loans have been issued. In order, how ever, that there should be no doubt as to the siecinc coin in which these bonds were to be paid the act stipulates that they must be paid in com of the United States of the standard value at that time; so that whatever legislation might subsequently be had which would de preciate the value of gold or silver, it would be the duty of the Government to pay in gold or silver coin at tho stand ard value of 1870, even if obliged to strike coin of the standard value of that date in order to meet its obligations for tne redemption of these bonds. After Many Days. The other day a woman walked into a bank in Chemnitz and said that many years ago she had drawn some money from it, and on reaching home found she had received two ducats too much. Being in press ing need at the time she had kept the money, and until now had been afraid to return it. She was told by the bank officers that she might keep the ducats, whereupon she became highly excited and insisted upon returning them with compound interest, which, together with the principal, amounted to over forty marks, which sum was therefore handed over to a poor family. Sixteen years was a long time to suffer for her fraud, but in the end the cause of it went to relieve suffering which, had the crime not been Committed , would never have been reached by its good effects so inscrutable, says the rustic moralist, are the ways of Providence. - r m Among the happiest exoerience of the young is the fact that they do not feel mey snaii ever grow old. Donn Piatt in a 13 all-Room. We never attended the graduating ex excises of West Point, but we did years ago run down to a ball at Annapolis. We happened, on the cars, to sit by a stout old party possessed of a ruddy, motherly countenance. She was quite communicative, and soon told us that she was on her way to Annapolis to see her son "grad-i-ate," to use her own ex pression. We took charge of that old lady she was so good, kind, sensible and motherly. We were present at the meeting between the mother and boy a handsome manly youth, one any moth er could be proud of. After supper we asked the old lady if she intended visiting the ball, and she said she would like to look in, but her son said it was quite "impossible," as all the "tickuts" were gone. We vol unteered procuring the magic paste board, and in due time we made a grand entree, creating some sensation, ior tne old lady had gotten herself up regard less of expense or appearances. The son was revolving with a beautiful girl one of our "Washington belles ana in one of the pauses of the dance we saw his fair partner looking at us and laugh ing. The eyes of the young man sought the object of her evident merriment. and when he saw us the expression of his face was that of, first dismay and then wrath. The dear old lady asked us to get her a glass of water. As we returned we passed the son and saw two red spots on his r-iippks and his brow corrugated m wrath. Our aged friend, stout as she was, appeared ready to sink, and asked to be taken to the hotel. We at once hastened to comply, although assured that she Mas not ill. Rut while waiting for the one available hack of Annapolis we saw two huge tears well out from her dear old eyes and course their way down her then rather pale face, and noting our anxious look she said: "Don't mind me; I'm a foolish old i woman and ought to have stayed at home, for my son is ashamed of his old mother." We are justly proud of our navy. Her gallant sons have swung the eagles of the republic too often in triumph through the smoke of battle not to have endeared them to the patriotic heart of the nation. But would it not be well to correct that one defect? It is not well to begin life in that way. Wash ington Capital. Ax Awkward Predicament. We have heard the history of man who was for many hours watched by a bear with out his being able to remove from the spot where he was sitting; here is a more terrible one of a man and a lion. A man returning from a visit to his friends at Bethany, South Africa, took a circuit ous course in hopes to kill au antelope to carry home to his family. Seeing no game when he reached the spot, he laid his gun down on a low. shelving rock, and went down to a pool to drink, after which he returned to the rock, smooked his pipe, and fell asleep. In a short time the heat reflected from the rock awoko him, and he saw a large lion crouching before him, with his eyes darincr in his face, and within little more than a yard from his feet. He sat motionless for some time, till he had re covered his presence of mind, then, eye ing his gun, he moved his hand toward it. The lion, seeing thi3, raised his head and crave a tremendous roar. He made, another, aud another, and anoth er attempt, but the gun being far beyond his reach, he gave it up, as tne Jion seemed well aware of his object, ana was enraged whenever he attempted to move his hand. The rock on which he sat became so hot that he could hard ly bear his naked feet to touch it, and he kept moving them, alternately piac ing o.'e above the other. The day pass ed, and the night also, bat the lion never moved from the spot. The sun again rose, and soon rendered his feet beyond feeling. At noon the lion rose and walked to the water, only a few yards distant, but looked behind as he walked, lest the man should move; and seeing him stretch out his hand to take his gun, turned in a rage and seemed about springing on him. The animal went to the water, drank, and returning, lay down again at the edge of the rock. Another night passed; the man in de scribing it said he knew not whether he slept, but, if he did, it mast have been with his eyes open, as he always saw the lion before him. Next day the ani mal went again to the water, and while there ho listened to some noise, appar ently from an opposite quarter and dis appeared in the bushes. The man made another effort and seized his gun, but his ankles were without power and he could not walk. He crept down to the water, gun in hand, expecting the return of the lion, which however, never came back. The unfortunate man remained a cripple ever after. A Plague of Bats. The St. Louis Journal says that "when Samuel Davis introduced a bill into the legislature last winter providing for the destruc tion of rats, the press of the State was incliued to indulge in a great deal of badinage at Sam's expense. If all re ports be true, however, the people, and especially the farmers of central Mis souri, have this summer began to realize the benefits of Sam Davis' effort in their behalf. The counties of Saline, Coojj er and Pettis are literally overrun by rats and the crops are receiving incal culable damage thereby. In many lo calities whole fields of corn have Lbeen uprooted and destroyed by rats, neces sitating replanting or abandonment for the season. The rats burrow in the ground close to the fences, in the hedges and ravines, breed large litters three times a year, and devour everything they come upon . They are the old-fashion wharf rats, such as abound in every city. It is feared they will ultimatelv become a greater scourge than the grass hoppers have been, although there is now a wholesale movement against them in the counties named. One farm er in Saline county has within the past three months killed over -1,000 of the pests, for the scalps of which he receiv ed 00, iu accordance with the provis ions of Sam Davis' bill." Violet Fane poetically exclaims: "Oh! for some new coired name by which to call him!" We are not very talented in coining names, but Violet might call him, " My Sweetestsweetest niaplesugaroffski," and see how he lik ed it for a change. The liussian sound lurking in the rear end of the name might strike his fancy in n soft place. A proud and devoted wife, whose husband had got a job on a cellar excav ation, explained hia absence bv saving he had gone to Wheeling. Do not expect to make a great effort every day. or to achieve transcendent excellence at all hours. The Channels of Exit From the human system bear the same relation to it as sewers do to a city. They carry off the waste, the refuse which it is essential to remove in order to prevent disease. One of the most salutary effects of Hostetter'a Stomach Bitters is to renew activity of the bowels when these organs are derelict in their duty. The bilious and dyspeptic symptoms which accom pany constipation are also remedied by this ster ling alterative. Its gently cathartic action has the effect of removing impurities which would otherwise poison the system and its tonic influ ence is exhibited in an increase in vital power. It renews appetite, soothes and invigorates the nerves, prevents and remedies malarial fever, and is a lirst-rato remedy for despondency. D AMI ANA BITTERS. KI.I ll F.XTKACT OF DA.MIANA AND DAM I AX A HF.Itlt. A prejudice uxdoubtedly exists in many minds against what are termed Patent Medicines, and in view of the numerous nostrums placed before the public by means of incessant and unscrupu lous advertitsimr, this view of the case appears not only natural but just, as in many case these so called " remedies " are not only powerless to effect tho cures they profess but are positively injurious to the system from the ingredients of which they are composed. Hut it is unjust t j stigmatize all patent medi cines 83 hurtful localise many- have been found so. Furthermore, it should be borne in mind that there is a violent opposition on part of the medical profession to the use of such medicines ; more especially of those found to be useful, as their employment evidently tends to obviate the necessity of the physician's interference and scriKes a viow ai ins proicssionai trains. Having premised these general re-marks, we refer to tne tonic and medicine lorming tne head of .this article the celebrated BAJA CAL1FOBSIA DAMIANA BITTEliS. These Bitters, although a new discovery and in the market but three months, are an exception to almost all that have been presented to the public. It is a Vital Restorative, an Appetizer and isioou rnriner, a ionic aud .Laxative, gen tle, but effective, in its operations ; is purely veg etable aud ecvual to the choicest wine as a bever atrc. The priueipa.1 ingredient in it is the J)ami ana, a shrub found in Lower California, and which lias for many years been a remedy known to the Spaniards for sexual weaknesses, disease of the bladder and kidney, etc. This plant is peculiar to Lower California and grows in a small section from San Lucas to San Kafael and lias not been discovered in any other part of the world. The herb is irom two to three feet r.isrh much branched, tho stem being woody and suf- fruticose, and the branches form a curved base, cylindrical, with a smooth, reddish brown bark the branches all being downy towards the apex The leaves are alternately arranged cn the stem and arc hairy on both sides. It belongs to a class of plants named 'l'nrteracec, but little known and of which Jtimuma is one. Mr. Lewis Hess, tho proprietor and manufac turer of these Hitters, makes no secret of its composition. It was discovered aud lirst manu factured by Drs. Winder fc Shearer of San Di ego. He has the Damiana in bales in thcsales room. It is put up in small packages for those who prefer tho tea. He also manufactures the .Fluid Extract of Damiana for druggists' use It is a very pleasant bitter to take, so much so that tho saloons are all getting to have it on hand, and already between them and the dru gists tho sales are very large. Tho manufactory and depot is No. 12 Mont gomery Avenue. The salesroom is 30x50 and contains a large stock of tho Bitters boxed ready for trade, lie has United Mates patents for the Uilters, trade mark and the name "J'.aja Call tornia Uamiana liitters. An infusion or tea of the herb was lirst inado and drank by tho Mexicans as a tonic for tho stomach and bowels, which virtue it possessei to a wonden ni degree. We wish Mr. Hess great success, and that he must have, for where the article is introduced it is always called for again. We would advise vis itors to the 3Ieehanies' Fair to sample the Bit ters on exhibition there. S. F. t.'omiwrrial. Peruvian Syrup. Brooks, Me., Sept. 7, 1870.
