THE HEX'S DAUGHTER.
A Weird Tale of Modern Witch?
craft in Pennsylvania.
"I was onnbusinoss trip through cen?
tral Pennsylvania rcoantly," said a New
"York travelling man, "and slopp. d one
night in a quietjitllo old Pounsylvonla
Dutch town. An old woman bad died
on tho placo that day, and wherever 1
went about the village her d ;ath seemed
to bo tho leading topic I finally asked
the landlord of tho botol whero I
ntopped who Or what tho old woman bad
been.
"'Oil, sho was a hex,' tho landlord
replied.
"Not having tho least suspicion of
what in tho world a box might be, I
pushed inquiiy and learned that a groat
many people in that vicinity, and, in
fact, throughout that entire part, of tho
State, wero still firm believers in witch
craft and in tho power of certain per?
sons, by ridiculous incantations, oero
montcs and prescriptions, known under
tho generic name of pow-wowing, to
drive tho witches away from persons,
animals, wells, crops or whatov, v had
fallon under tho ban. These witch d< c
tora wero usually women and wero
known in Pennsylvania Dutch as hexes.
They wero held in great respect ami : h
death of ono was regarded us a calamity
by the believers in witches. The
woman who had just died had becna a
particularly successful hex and her
death was an event of ho little im?
portance in the village.
" 'Now, 1 dontt believe in witch) ? my?
self, or in the power of a hex.' said lb ?
landlord, 'but I would bj obi ig'd !??
some ono who would explain to mean
occurrence with which this woman, who
has just died, was concerned, and vvh a i
canto under my personal observation* It.
?was certainly tho strangest thing I oV< r
road or heard of, oven in this local :;.,
?wherosuperstitious belief und crcdul
ity find never-ending woird and '.von !?
ful things to tell.
"'I don't know bow old tho box was
who died to-day. No ono knows, l.ul
twenty years ago .she was an old wo?
man. She was tho widow of a well
known Pennsylvania Dutch fanner,
.lacob Frelloher, whOdiod a quarter of a
century ago. Although she was left. ?
wealthy, her daughter went, out in ser?
vice, as is the. custom of Pennsylvania
Dutch parenlage. although they may bo
prospective heiresses to thousands. This j
girl, then about 20 years of age,
?worked at this very hotel. Her name
was Darbrra, and sho is to-day the wlfo
of ono of the richest farmers in the
county. The landlord at that time was
a 1. ading man in this count}', and |
usvally a jovial sort of fellow. Iiis I
name was Josepb Dover.
" Tor some reason he never could ox- j
plain he took an intense dislike to the
old box's daughter, who worked for him. !
I have often beard him say that when i
he was near the girl, or she was in his |
presence, bo could scarcely restrain j
himself from doing her personal injury,
and was constantly, against his will,
?wishing that he, or some ono else, !
might make her sutler. It was a most i
singular feeling, for tho girl was honest |
and Industrious, and, as tho landlord
frequently said, the best girl bo ever j
hid in his house.
" 'Boyer's unaccountable hatred of tho
hex's daughter was not tho only strange
fact connected with tho two. The girl's
fear of hor employer amounted to ter?
ror. She trembled visibly when he was
in sight, and that sho suffered greatly
could bo seen by tho expression of her
face. At times sho fell into fainting
fits after Boyer had loft her sight, out
of which Bh? was revived with difficulty. J
Another singular thing was that tho girl
quit tho landlord's employ several
times, but after an absence of a few
days invariably came back and re
entered his service. Sho told bis wifo
that sho bad such pains while she was
away that sho was forced to como back
for relief.
"'It seems that Barbara, who was a
sensible girl and not inclined to the
superstitions her mother was believed
to hold tho charms against, did not j
make known to hor mother the peculiar
?ensations and suffering she experienced
and enaured until nearly a year after
they first appeared. Then, finding that
she got no hotter, bIio confided in her
mother, who told her at onco that she :
was bowitchod.
" ' "But, who would want to bewitch :
mo, mother'?" she asked.
"'"I don't know," replied her mother; '
"but I will find out."
" ' Tho old hox took a piece of black !
pap, took down her witch book, some?
thing every hex has, copied something
-'from it on tho paper, and folded the
paper. She then gave hor daughter a
hammer and a sharp nail, and told her
that 12 o'clock on the first night of the
first new moon she must take the paper,
the hammer, and tho nail with her to an
ash tree that stood at tho cross roads a
mile beyond tho village. She must
placo tho paper against the tree, and
with ono blow of the hammer send tho
nail home through the paper. That, tho I
hex said, would not only destroy the ]
witch, but would discover the person or !
thing that the witch bad acted through, j
"'I remember it was night In early j
fall that Boyer, three others and my?
self sat down in the back room yonder i
to play a few games of euchre. Just
before we sat down the landlord glanced
out of tho window there:
"Hullo! a now moon, and I isaw it
over my left shoulder. I won't have
any luck to-night."
" 'Wo playod along until it got to bo
almost midnight, and we dealt for tho
last gamo. As the clock in the hall
struck 12 Boyer pioked up his cards.
Tho next seoond he sprang to his foot,
with a look of terror I shall never for?
get. Ho cried out, almostshriokd, tho
name of tho box's daughter, and fell
back in his chair doad.
"'Of oourso wo wero all paralysed
with horror for a moment, but, recover?
ing, wo bustled about to do what wo
could. Wo summoned a doctor at onco,
bat ho was of no uso. Tho landlord
was dead?doad, undoubtedly, of heart
disease, tho doctor said.
*,'Afow minutes after 12 that nicht
tho inmates of a house half a mile up
tfie road yonder, toward the cross-roads,
were aroused ty somo person knocking
violently at the door. The person who
was knocking proved to bo Karbara, tho
hex's daughter. Sho was pale as a
ghost, and as soon as she could find her
voice sho startled the family by ex?
claiming:
" ' "I have killed Mr. Boyer!"
" 'Thinking tho girl was out of her
mind tho family tried to soothe her, but
she declared that sho had soon him fall
dead as she drove a nail into a paper ni
tho ash tree to lay a witch, according to
hor mother's instructions, at just 1?
o'clock that night. Sho told what
Boyer was doing when she saw him drop
dead in his chair, lie was playing
cards, she said.
" ' "As soon as I struck the nail I saw
him. Ho called out my name so that, it
rings in my ears yet! Then ho fi 1
dead."*
"'All this came out at tho inquest,
which was held the next day. The po
mortem showed conclusively that Boy<
had died of disease of the hoar:, h???
Harbern and her mother declared the:
and ever alter that the witch was i:i
Beyer's heart, and that the hail Barbar;:
drove had been buried there. The:
were few people in the place but wh i
shared in that same belief, and tie
popular verdict was that Beyer's deal
was just. And Ilex Freitcher became
greater hex than ever. That is why her
death has made so profound an impres?
sion in ibo village
" 'How do you explain that Strang'
occurenco ? There is no doubt Barbara
saw Joe Boyer as she said she did. Did
Jon seo hor when she struck the nail,
and know his fate V
? I. of course, could give my host. n.>

The Salem Improvement Company,

December II, 1SS'.?. Since that time the I
growth of Salem has been tnnrv< lous.
About 100 bouses have, been built: 31,-|

and the business of tho postofllco and

The iron furnace about to go into blast,
the factories in operation and actually
secured will employ several thousand
hands and insure the doubling of the
present population of 4.000 in another

Negotiations r.re nearly closed for ad?
ditional plants to employ several thou?

Salem is the most attractive town in
Virginia; and it may well he proud of
its sui passingly beautiful location, its
healthful climate, its refined society, its
fine churches, its excellent schools, and
of Roanoko College, one of the leading
institutions in Virginia. Attractive as
a placo of residence, it now offers un?
usual advantages for manufacturing and
genoral business. No other town in
Virginia has ever equalled Salem's
record of progress for the last twelve
months. The stage of experiment is
passed, and Salem is now firmly estab?
lished on a solid industrial basis.
The Improvement Company proposes
to c debrate the anniversary of its first
great sale of lots by offering on Decem?
ber 11 tli and 12th, lit reasonable prices,
some of tho most valuable lots in our

old town and is surrounded by the lands
of other stron;: companies. Being inside

value. The Norfolk and Western and
the Dummy Line to Roanoko run

j stations on it. Tho streets have been
j graded and the town system of water
j works extended through thorn. Lots will
I bo offered on College avenue and other
