children were bewitched. The declaration ap-
pears-to have been decisive. The connections of
the children immediately applied themselves to
fasting and prayer; and summoned their friends
to unite with them in their devotions. On the
11th of the following March, Mr. Paris invited
several of the neighboring ministers to unite with
him in prayer at his own house. It was observed
that during the religious exercises the children
were generally decent and still; and that alter
the service was ended they renewed their former
inexplicablc conduct.
A few days before this an Indian man and wo-
man, servants in the house of Mr. Paris, formed
a kind of magicalcake; which, like the mola at.
