Speaking of bears again: Dea. Liba
Bliss, one of the early settlers of West
Glover living on the borders of the will
derness mentioned before, suffered great
loss from the depredations of bears, which
used to make sad havoc with his corn,
oats, cattle and sheep. One night his son
Stephen went for the COWS and saw there
was trouble with the sheep. He followed
on by the side of the fence near the woods,
when he heard a terrible growing over
the fence opposite him, and on looking
over the fence he saw two huge bears
who had killed two sheep and were de-
vouring one of them. When they saw
him one of the bears came up to the
fence, put his fore paws on it and growled
fiercely. Stephen ran up the hill and
shouted to his father to come with his
gun, but before he could get there the
largest bear took the whole sheep in his
arms and both marched off to the woods.
