Excerpt from Dulcibel a Tale of Old SalemIn the afternoon Of a sunny Autumn day, nearly two hundred years ago, a young man was walking along one Of the newly Opened roads which led into Salem Village, or what is now called Danvers Centre, in the then Province Of Massachusetts Bay.The town of Salem, that which is now the widely known City of that name, lay between four and five miles to the southeast, on a tongue of land formed by two inlets of the sea, called now as then North and South Rivers. Next to Plymouth it is the Oldest town in New England, having been first settled in 1626. Not till three years after were Boston and Charlestown commenced by the arrival of eleven ships from England. It is a Significant fact, as showing the hardships to which the early settlers were exposed, that of the fifteen hundred persons composing this Boston expedi tion, two hundred died during the first winter. Salem has also the honor of establishing the first New England church organization, in 1629, with the Reverend Francis Higginson as its pastor.Salem village was an adjunct Of Salem, the town taking in the adjacent lands for the purpose Of tillage to a distance Of Six miles from the meet ing-house.

On the day appointed for the examination of these poor women, the two leading magistrates of the neighborhood, John Hathorne and Jonathan Corwin, rode up the principal street of the village attended by the marshal and constables, in quite an imposing array. The crowd was so great that they had to hold the session in the meeting-house The magistrates belonged to the highest legislative and judicial body in the colony. Hathorne, as the name was then spelt, was the ancestor of the gifted author, Nathaniel Hawthorne--the alteration in the spelling of the name probably being made to make it conform more nearly to the pronunciation. Hathorne was a man of force and ability--though evidently also as narrow-minded and unfair as only a bigot can be. All through the examination that ensued he took a leading part, and with him, to be accused was to be set down at once as guilty. Never, among either Christian or heathen people, was there a greater travesty of justice than these examinations and trials for witchcraft, conducted by the very foremost men of the Massachusetts colony.
