away " with his uppermost story"
We recently had the pleasure of a chat
with Mr.. John Lynde, now midway OF the
eighties in age, about Hon. Elijah Paine
LID, who died here in 1872 at the age OF
eighty five. Judge Paine was born in Con-
necticut, and was one OF the first settlers OF
our town. At various times he was a men,
Der of our supreme court, United States
Senator, United States Circuit Court
Judge, etc. He owned large farm in the
west part OF our town, and Mr.. Lynde was
born and grew up in the same school dis
trict with Judge Paine's children. With all
that ordinary mortals might have envied in
the judges life in his day, IL was well known
here that, with his fellows, he shared the
common lot of mankind, in having a
seamy side " to his life. His neighbors
sometimes had grievances to bear at his
hands. For one thing his hogs, which he
/ would poke" ran at large. 10 this day
when he was only very small boy by an
attack made upon him by one Of these ami
mails, and which would have been fatal but
for help coming just in time. This was too
much for his father to endure, and he sent
word to Judge Paine that " his hogs had
eaten up nearly every thing else he had,
and now that they had begun to take his
children he demanded that they be shut
up"
