There are some good hunting stories
which never get into print-and others
which do that same. OF these latter, we
were told n by P. ]. Ferguson. who
lives beside n of those beautiful lakes
in the mountain. Mr.. Ferguson had
seven dear little ducks-tame as you ever
saw ducks-which amused themselves by
sporting on the water through the day.
But n Inflated morn. four fierce nimrods
armed to the teeth, drove along, carefully
surrounded the ducklings and opened fire.
Taken by surprise, but little resistance
was made. and soon six yellow feet and
six little t%op-knots were lying peacefully
in the rig. One escaped on one leg and
carried the tale of woe home. Peter says
he can take it out in trade Of four differ
ent kinds.
The other yarn was told by the victim
himself, how he noticed a few mornings
ago, a flock of geese feeding not very far
from his house. and taking his gum. he
made a sneak on them. When still a
hundred rods away they rose to fly. but
to his establishment and delight, came
directly toward him. Keeping perfectly
still. he awaited their approach and was on
the point OF firing when 10, the geese with
one accord began to settle close by him.
and then at once ran up for their accus-
toned feed. And they belonged to Dea-
con McBain.
