| Doctor F., "puts me in mind Of the
great storm that occurred when lived
on the island. AS you are all well
aware, our island was near Casco bay
an awful storm arose, and was so
fierce that 1t drove all the ducks in the
bay into the pond, covering about an
acre, near the house. In fact, so many
ducks crowded into that pond TINT |

"Sho ~ says Smith, didn't We shoot
any of 'em ?"
That's what I was coming at, ]
went into the house and got my dou-
BILE barrel shotgun and discharged
both barrels right into the midst of
them, but to my astonishment, they
all arose in the air, leaving not soli-
tary duck on the pond"

says Smith. Didn't you hev any shot

Doctor +. at astonished me at first
but as the ducks rose a few hundred
yards in the air and commenced to
separate little, ducks began to drop.
and whether you believe it or not, |
picked up tweDty-nine barrels of
ducks, and it was q poor season for
ducks, too. You see, the ducks were
wedged in so solid on the pond, that
when they arose they carried the dead
ones in the air with them, and when
they separated, down came the TWEEN

storm the wind blew so fierce that it
blew every ear of that corn right
through the knot hole, and the hole
being just the size of cob only, the
result was that it shelled every ear,
leaving the corn in the barn, and the

no less severe than the law toward its

its sanctity aud silence its enemies.
