THE WITCH’S CURSE. A Bucksport Legend of Colonial Days In Maine. Close by Hie road on the outskirts of the old seaport town of Bucksport, on the Penobscot river, Is n small family cemetery. Within Its im Insure sleep the Bucks, the blue blooded folk who first settled the town and bequeathed it their name and n legend. The largest and most conspicuous monument in the cemetery Is a tall grr :ite shaft, which is in plain sight of the highway. On one side is the inscription: “Col. John Buck, the Founder of Bucksport, A. D. 17(12. Born iu Haverhill, Mass., 1718. Died March 18, 17D5.’’ On the other side is the single word “Buck,” and also something not wrought by the marble worker. On the smooth surface of the pedestal is a curious outline, which can be easily imagined to be n foot of normal size. The people who say that R is a foot believe in the legend which has oft been told in Bucksport. The story is that Colonel Jonathan Buck was a very harsh man and the leading spirit iu Ids day and generation. He was the highest in civil authority, and his word was law In the community In which lie resided. He was an out and out Puritan, and to him witchcraft was the incarnation of blasphemy. Thus, so the story goes, when a certain woman was accused of witchcraft, at the first damoriugs of the populace Colonel Buck ordered that she be imprisoned, and later she was sentenced to l>e executed ns n witch. The execution day came, and Hie woman went to Hie gallows, cursing her judge with such terrible words that the people shuddered, but the magistrate stood unmoved. All was ready, and the hangman was about to perform Ids duty, when the woman turned to Colonel Buck, and, raising one hand toward heaven, she said: “Jonathan Buck, listen to these words, the last my tongue shall ulter. It Is the spirit of the only living God which bids me speak to you. You will soon die, and over your grave they will erect a stone, that all may know the sjiot where your bones lie and crumble to dust. “Upon that stone the Imprint of my foot shall appear, and for all time, after your accursed race has vanished from the face of the earth, will the people from far and near know that you murdered a woman.” She then turned to her executioners, and another act transpired to make a part of American colonial history. The “witch curse” had been almost forgotten until the monument was erected to the founder of Bucksport. It had been in position hardly a month when a faint outline was discovered on It. It grow more and more distinct, until some person made the discovery that it was the outline of a foot. The old legend was revived. They said that the “witch’s curse” had been fulfilled. An attempt was made to remove the slain, but every effort only tended to make it plainer. The imprint of the foot is there today as plain as ever. Amateur photographers have taken pictures of it, and a visit to tlie Buck cemetery to see the “witch’s foot” is one of the pastimes of every summer visitor to the pretty little town. -New York World.

The Cold Winter. The winter of 170y Is called by dls tlnctlon “the cold winter.” All the rivers and lakes of Europe were frozen over, and so was the sea for several miles from the shore. In England the ground was frozen nine feet deep Birds and beasts died In the fields, and men perished by thousands in their houses. In tlie south of France the olive trees were killed and wine plantations destroyed. The Adriatic sea was frozen, and even the Mediter ranean aliout Genoa. The citron and orange groves suffered in Italy.
