Burlington, Oct. 12. Saturday last at Mount-Holly, about 8
miles from this place, near 300 people were gathered
together to see and experiment or two tried on some persons
accused of witchcraft. It seems the accused had been
charged with making their neighbours sheep dance in an
uncommon manner, and with causing hogs to speak, and sing
psalms, &c. to the great terror and amazement of the King's
good and peaceable subjects in this province; and the
accusers being very positive that if the accused were
weighed in scales against a bible, the bible would prove too
heavy for them. . .
