EARLY RECORDS OF ST. MARK'S AND ST. ANDREW'S CHURCHES, NIAGARA.
The following copy of the Record Books of St. Mark's and St. Andrew's, Niagara, is as much as possible verbatim et literatim. The spelling, etc., has been preserved. As showing the value of these early records, it may be mentioned that part of St. Mark's has been copied and deposited in the archives of the Historical Society, Buffalo, and the marriage notices, up to 1830, have been reproduced in the history of St. George's, St. Catharines, by Rev. Robt. Ker.
The early records of St. Mark's Church are found in good preser- vation, in a stout old leather-covered book with thick yellow paper. Rev. Robt. Addison, from Westmoreland, England, came as a missionary in 1792, sent out by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign parts; the church, however, was not built till 1802. His field was an extensive one, as we find by the entries, Chippawa, Long Point, Grimsby, Twelve-Mile Creek, etc. The records are neatly kept, and the usual monotony of such lists is relieved here and there by a touch of humor or some quaint remark. Instead of the births, marriages and burials being kept in different parts of the book, we find a page allotted to each of those for each year in succession. He signs his name as Minister of Niagara; we know that he was military chaplain, and that he also acted as chaplain to Parliament, both in York and Newark, while from other records we learn that he was chaplain to the lodge of Free Masons. As his residence was at Lake Lodge, three miles from the town, the records were safe and did not share the fate of others, when the town was burnt in 1813. His valuable library of one thousand volumes, containing many rare folios, may be seen in the Rectory. At the Centennial of St. Mark's, held in 1892, many descend- ants of the first minister were present.
The assistant and successor, Rev. Thomas Creen, born in Ireland, and a graduate of Glasgow University, came in 1820, and taught the Niagara District Grammar School for several years. In this historic

church there were only three incumbents in the century, a unique cir- cumstance, it is believed, in church history. As showing the value of such records, it may be mentioned that letters are being constantly received by the rector, Rev. J. C. Garrett, asking for extracts from the old volume in his charge, and it is by his kindness and courtesy that in the interest of historic research, access has been given to these records which have been copied by me with a loving hand.
To this is appended the corresponding records in Grimsby, by Rev, Wm. Sampson, as many of the names are the same, several from Niagara appearing.
The Record Book of St. Andrew's dates from 1794, and is mostly the account of the business transactions and contains only a few bap- tisms, there having been many changes and intervals when there was no clergyman, while St. Marks had the advantage of a fixed salary, paid by the S. P. G., of £200 yearly. It may be noticed that in one record the word Niagara is used altogether, in the other Newark, the latter name being given by Simcoe in 1792, and changed by Act of Parliament in 1798, but from habit or fancy either was used. St. Andrew's, built in 1794, was totally destroyed in the conflagration, and though the record book was saved by Mr. Andrew Heron, the secretary and treasurer, no doubt other records were destroyed. The first minister was Rev. John Dun, 1794-1797, followed by Rev. John Young, Rev. John Burns; but no regular record is known to be in existence till 1829, that of Rev. Robt. McGill. After the war the congregation worshipped in St. Andrew's schoolhouse till 1831, when the present church was built.

GERMAN-CANADIAN FOLK-LORE.
BY W. J. WINTEMBERG.
These superstitions were collected among German people. Many of them may, however, be of English or of Scottish origin. Perhaps, after I have a fuller collection, I may, by a comparison of the various items, discover which are really German ; but this I fear will prove rather a formidable task, for many German beliefs have been adopted by the British and vice versa. There are also many superstitions which are common to both races, in fact, are the common property of nearly every people belonging to the Indo-European stock, from the swarthy Hindu to the blue-eyed, flaxen-haired peasant of Scandinavia.
I will begin with folk-medicine, than which there is nothing more interesting in the study of folk-lore.
CUBES.
Wear earrings for sore eyes.
To stop nose-bleeding, tie a string of red yarn around one of your fingers.
If a bee stings you, kill it, if possible, and the wound will not mortify.
For sore throat, take the sock off your left foot, turn it inside out, and wear around your throat.
A cure for lumbago is to lie on the floor face downwards and have your wife tread on the afflicted part.
The calcareous body found in the stomach of the common crayfish is supposed to be useful in removing foreign substances from the eye.
Hair, when inclined to split, should be cut at full moon; the new growth is expected to be longer and softer.
A cure for a sprain : If you find a bone, rub it on the sprained hand or foot, and then throw it over your shoulder and do not look back.
A cure for a child's irritable temper : Pass the child head first through the left leg of its father's trousers. This was tried by a German family only two years ago.
To prevent blood-poisoning if you step on a rusty nail : Immerse the nail in oil or lard, then remove it and put it into the oven, to remain there until the wound is healed.
Cures for Sties. — Rub the tail of a cat on the sty. This may be a variant of the English superstition : " Three hairs from a black cat's tail will cure a sty."
GERMAN-CANADIAN FOLK-LOIIE. 87
Throw a pail of swill over your head without wetting yourself.
For Dog Bite. — Take some of the hairs of the dog that bit you and place them on the wound. The same cure is recommended in the " Edda," a book on Scandinavian mythology, written in the twelfth cen- tury. It says : " Dogs' hairs heal dogs' bites."
A Cure for Asthma. — Boil the lung of a fox in water, and drink the liquid. Obviously, the lung of the fox was chosen because that animal can run long distances without its powers of respiration becom- ing impaired ; and asthma being a disease that affects breathing, we can readily understand why the fox's lung was used as a cure.
Cures for Fits. — Give the blood of a black hen as a drink to the patient.
A Pennsylvania German told me that if a person who was subject to fits found a horseshoe with the nails still in the holes, he or she was to remove them and have them made into rings. These, it was affirmed, would have a salutary effect if worn by the afflicted person.
Some Germans, to cure a child thus afflicted, took it into the woods, placed it with its back against a tree, and bored a hole into the tree above the child's head. They then cut off some of its hair and stuffed it into the hole which they closed with a wooden plug. It was believed that as the child grew above the hole, the disease disappeared.
Whooping Cough. — Let a child eat a piece of bread from the hands of a woman whose maiden name was the same as her husband's surname ; or, take the hair of a person that has never seen his or her father alive and put it on the child's breast.
Rheumatism Cures. — Carry a horse-chestnut in the pocket.
The skin of a white weasel worn about the person is also regarded as a preventive.
It has been claimed that a person may transfer a disease to some animal by having the animal sleep with him, or constantly near him. The cavy or common guinea pig was kept by some Germans for the purpose of curing rheumatism. This animal, owing to its cleanly habits, was kept in the house. It was believed that the patient could transfer the rheumatism to the animal by fondling it.
Toothache Cures. — If a child chew a bread-crust, which has been gnawed by mice, it will never be subject to toothache.
After washing yourself, wipe your hands with the towel before you wipe your face. I know an old woman who practises this, and she says she has not been troubled with toothache for the last twenty years.
The brain-teeth (Ger. hern-zdhne) of a hog, if carried in the pocket, are also supposed to prevent toothache.
88 ONTARIO HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
An old German, now deceased, whenever he had toothache, went into the woods and looked for a tree which had been blown down, and taking a small sliver from the trunk or stump he would bore the hollow tooth with it and then replace it, being very careful to put it in the exact place whence it came.
Cures for Side -Stitch. — Spit on a pebble and throw it over your shoulder and then walk away without looking back.
Another cure is to overturn a stone and spit into the cavity in the soil caused by its removal and then replace the stone.
