[News from London] The following Popish miracle is taken
from the Amsterdam Dutch Courant, of the 2d instant. "They
write from France of the 28th ult. that as four young men
and four young women were dancing country-dances at an inn
at Soissons, the host was carried by the door to a sick
person; the young men kneeled down and paid their adoration,
but young girls kept dancing on; that it was asserted there,
that for their irreligion, in not paying their devotion to
the venerable host, they still continued dancing when the
account came away, which had made them so lean, that they
kooked [sic] more like skeletons than living creatures."
