THE LEGEND OF WIrCus mock.

II Lies in Enchanted Ground aud is still
Stunned by the superstitious.
From the New York sun.
In the midst of deep wood, not far from
Hopkins Hill, q beautiful village i'm Western
!, Rhode Island, is an enchan tod rock. 1t is q
common boulder, about four feet across the
top, and not more than two feet high. Around
it is singular shallow furrow Tall trees
\ bend above it, and it is only in midsummer
Nhat the vertical sun pierces the interlacing
Ss5cshs. The whole wood bears an uncanny
reputation in local tradition, and within the
memory of the older inhabitants witches are
said to have been seen fitting about the out
skirts of the forest The neighborhood of the
rock is especially stunned, and belated chill
dren returning from berrying trip on the
hills hasten their footsteps as they pass the
dreaded boulder. More than 200 years ago,
the regicides, COTE and Whalby, fled from
Point Judith to this place, and since that time
the stone has been known as Witch Rock
An aged Rhode Islander related its legend
the other day:
"a couple of hundred years ago." he said
"when settlers had begun TO break ground
in the neighborhood of Hopkins Hill, a witch
made her home in cabin that had been
abandoned by pioneer close to Witch Rock.
Everything within hundred yards of the
rock became enchanted, and she caused the
settlers many annoyances by her pranks.
Tools that were left out over night mysteri-
ously disappeared, cattle were afflicted with
singular diseases, stones were hurled through
window panes by unseen hands, and when
ever a hail storm or a hurricane swept over
the mis-, destroying the crops, people saw
her flying through the AIR, driving the storm
onward with her broom. Az last she was
driven out OF the settlement, but the rock and
all the ground about IL renamed enchanted

" can recoliect when the wood was clear
ed land, but 1t was never possible to plough
within hundred yards OF the bewitched
stone. AS soon as the witch,s line was passed

now called the land side, and which at that

was made by an Old man named Reynolds,
ABOUT elghty or ninety years ago. lie said
that ne could put on plough emp sol would
stay, ana many neighbors gathered to see it
tired.
"Reynolds started into the field, and the
plough ran smoothly enough until he crossed
the wltch's line, and then all OF sudden the
emp flew OIL. Ihe plough edged away, and
there were good many white faces for no
