story of a little girl 10 years of age of caldwell county who seems to possess the mysterious but unconscious power of attracting stones which appear to come through the roof or the walls of the house in which she may happen to be striking the floor with force but making no indentations — stones of various sizes and weights from one to ten pounds and always falling neai the child the family consisting of m l holler the father mother and this little girl have moved several times to other house to get rid of the haunt but have been followed where ever they went by the same strange phenomenon of late household arti cles a wash pan is instanced cou raenced moving on the shelf where it w.is kept and directly whirled off on t the floor near the little girl these flings have been going on for weeks and many of the neighbors have visited the family to witness them and the publication referred to was related t the publisher of the clipper by a gen tleman who spoke from personal knowl edge of the facts as given the editor refers the subject to tin investigation of scientists with th question have we in north carolina a lula hurst in hie person of little mist holler emigration from the land of blizzardr the baltimore stow of january 20tb notices the fact that since the gre t blizzard thirty familes of dakota have announced their intention to sell 01 abandon their holdings and euiigrat south and it is believed when the exodus begins many more will be found wemliiig their way southward certainly it is a very sensible thing to do the wonder is that having had experience of the heavy draw backs in regions of blizzards atid cye'ones they have still lingered in the country we would witli real earnestness say to those western people come to north carolina for it is fairly to be presumed that they have been in thr united states long enough to learn more of its laws and institutions than those who are just now landing on our shores we don't wan't communists or anarchists or intidels but people who accept our institutions and desire to be good citizens will receive a hearty welcome in this or any other southern state santa rosa california has passed a town

battle at an episcopal church door in kuoxville term sun day morning last betweeji a city editor and three men who attacked him pistols were used on both sides one of the assailants was killed and the other two wounded the editor was shot in the wrist and shoulder the difficulty grew out of a publication made the day before the authorship of which the editor refused to give th3 forefathers jl graphic picture of the early new england puritans as told ky a new england journal from the winsteti conn press the floodgates of gusli have been opened by recurrence of forefather's day and parsons publicans pharisees and politicians having lifted up their heavenly voices in unqualified praise of the massachusetts puritans let ns vary the monotony by telling some truths not at all complimentary to these same puritans and in the light of which notwithstanding some sturdy qualities of sou common to other pioneers it ap pears that they were for the most part as mean and inhuman a lot of bigots as ever set foot on american soil there were a few exceptions — there always are exceptions and they prove the rule rogers william was a peaceful quaker the forefathers were whil iionie peaceful presbyterians fresh from persecutions papal and protest ant in other lands yet one cold and snowy december night they drove this peaceful quaker out from all shelter in their towns to find tender mercy in the hearts of untutored savages an i asy lum at last in a region uot yet distin guished by its puritan diety they had not been more than twenty years before they began by fines imprison ment whipping banishment and tor ture to make a history for themselves which must be forever infamous they whipped and banished a man named gorton and this was his of fence his servant smiled in church and gorton publicly defended him but banishment did not suffice gor ton and a dozen others went to rhode island and settled in a place called warwick beyond the jurisdiction of the boston court and refused to return a force of soldiers was sent after him the soldiers captured hi'»i and his fel iows after driving their women and c'nldren into the woods brought the prisoners back to boston leaving the women and children to perish — and were publicly blessed by john win throp cotton mather and other good puritans for their great victory over he emissaries of satan the prisoners vere put in irons kept at hard labor through the winter and banished igain for trying to keep away from their godly forefathers a few years later a baptist minister from newport named holmes with two friends went to lynn to visit a dying brother at the bedside of the sick man they were arrested fined and imprisoned and when holmes refused ty pay his fine inj was taken out into the streets of boston stripped and so brutally flogged that some bystanders expressed sympathy for him and for that expression were fined and impris oned xo sympathy was expressed for them we may be sure and that they were not very good puritans is self evident john winthrop was then governoi of the colony and leader of the general court but a merciful providence took him home to heaven and put a worse man in his place this man was john endicott who began his holy mission by imprisoning and starving two wo men because they were quakers then he imprisoned and banished a man named qpshall for giving the women food under endi ott a law ivas passed against quakers which it was lioped would root out this devilish sect and by virtue of this law many quakers men and women were whip ped imprisoned starved and ill-treated in various other ways but certain people would be quakers which so en raged the governor that in a n't of ex treme piety one day he ordered the twenty quakers then in jail taken out and whipped twice a week each tiym more severely than the last still these wicked quakers persisted iu poi soning the air of the puritan saints by dwelling in massachusetts and to ef fectually yet ri4 uf them a law was passed which declared that for the first offence of returning after banish ment one ear shall be cut off and for the third bore the tongue with a red hot iron it was a glorious day for god and endicott was his prophet two little children were found whose parents had been banished these terrible infants were fined for iron-attendance at church and be-injj unable to pay their fines they were offered for sale it is said as slaves slaye selling was not then so uncom mon in massachusetts as to excite any particular sympaty for slaves but this case was too atrocious for the none too-mercif ul slavers of the boston port and the magistrates were unable to finl buyers for their property what was done with the children we do not ] know but it is fair to suppose that the i little scoundrels were put to work under some god-feajing puritan and that they afterwards attended chore ; but it seems that croppong theirears and boring their tongnea did not effect ual i j clear out the quakers for a law was passe-l punishing with death those j i»:mishi'd qnakera who should return \\ e read that after the pwsage of this law quaker trials becnm • occasions of great religions interest meeting were held and sermons bearing upon the subject were preached after which the magistrates fortified bv the ser mons sentenced meek and inoffensive men and women to be hung all for the glorj of god ! and the preachers were always on hand we are told to see that the hanging was thoronghlv done and that the victims in their last moment sowed no seed of quaker heresy among the faithful these preachers were all ministers of christ it will be remembered and among the most honored of our honored forefa thers robinson stevenson le.ldra and mary dyer one after the other were led to the beat of n drum through the streets of boston and there lgnominiouslj put to death and the bodies of the men were stripped and thrown into a pit without covering 1 beautiful is the sight oh heaven and in the sight of modern politicians and prayerful preachers of the gospel are the>e same puritan forefathers but 1 a lging and clipping and boring and beating and banishing quakers cam ; to an e id because pnritanism be came more merciful not at all mutilated witnesses went over to the king with their ears cropped and their tongues bored and the king sent a peremptory order to john endicott forbidding further indulgence in that form of christianity the king was a roman catholic when endicott thus found his cheif occupation gone he laid him down and went to h's father in heaven it is ever thus with the righteous the quakers whom endicott had murdered were already with their fathers in hell so our saint like puritans hoped at least about thirty years later eastern massachusetts witnessed the execution of two dogs who had the misfortune to be accused by these enlightened forefathers of being too familiar with the devil but saintl puritanism did not confine itself to the execution of dogs something like forty innocent and peaceable men aud women shared the fate of the dogs these men and women were witches there can be no doubt about it for they were for mally tried before the most pious and exemplary persons of the colony and found to be witches and such were killed in accordance with the scriptu ral command ( exodus xxii 18 thou shalt not suffer a witch to live but exactly where in their bible these love ly theologians found their command to crush giles cory aged 81 years to death between two boards bv piling stones on top of him we do not know at any rate they squoze him till his tongue stuck out and one of the dea cons poked it back with a stick after which the old man died but most obstinately we have uot half told the story which damns and ought to damn for ever the very nu of puritan it cannot be fi'll told in cold types these puritans were our forefathers but blame ns not for that we are sorry for it but its not our fault \\ ♦• would say for them that they were sincere sincerity w;is about the onl conspicuous virtue they had yet such did tliev make of it that we can only ad 1 that their one virtue was worse that a dozen vices it would !"■ a kindness to the puritan forefathers of new england to leave them alone in their graves but so long as these fore fathers are annually dug up and fed with panegyric at festal boards by our chiefest men the truth shall be t .
