A fewot the oldor lnhabitanta tell amua lng atories of Uncle Roger Hubbard, father of Eraatua, who, in hla day and generatlon waa a character whoae fame waa not con flned to local clrclea. It appeara that the old gentloman nelghbored alongaide a party of i he naruo of Stone, wbo kept bena. At leaat he bad tons but dld not always keep theru, to the frequent aorrow ot tJncle Hub bard'a garden. 'lhe bavoo at laat reached a polnt when tho latter served nottce on brother Stone that any Stone bena seen In tbe garden would be shot. Tbo next morn ing a etray ben waa seen busily employed ln hls gardon- and was promptly Bhot aud thrown over the fence for the uae of Mr. Stone. The latter ploked the hen up, alno the featbers off, and devoured it. Thia waa kept up for aeveral morning, and meanwblle Stone feaated on bena. Atteraweek'a maa sacre young Eraa na called tbe attentlon ot hls father to the fact that be tbe boy had tnrned loose hla own huns several days prevlous, and that nelghbor Stone had been tattenlng on Hubbard beus, kllled and thrown over the fence aa u glftl The ba rometer fell two Inchea ln aa many aoconda and beavy weatber at once prevalled. At another time Uncle Hubbard waa llv lng ln mortal fear of a young bear, the pet and property of a ueighbor named Truax. The Truax bear bad been ralaed from a oub and belng thoronghly domestlcated roamed at will durlng the day around the nelgb borhood, to the dlre apprehonsion of Uncle Roger. He reglstered a threat to ahoot lt If it catno on bls premiaeB, and for that pur poso bad bls old Belglan musket loaded to the muzzlo slght. Incldentally he ownod a large black hog. Late one evenlng Eraatus Intoimed hla father that be could see a big black anlmal prowllng around the foot of tbe garden, and swearlng a long-delayed veugeance ou the bear, Boger annexed tbo old musket, took tbe beat poaalble alm ln thedarkneaa, and turned loose. "Therel" said Uncle Roger, "let Truax come and get hla beat!" The next morning dlacloaed the Hubbard hog deceaaed and stiff ln tbe bu8bea, .plcklod wltb aeveral pounda ot lead. More heavy weatber.
