Family Love at Wequetequock.

Wequetequock, in the town of Stonington, has long been noted for its family fights. A story is told of a Wequetequock man being brought to a Stonington doctor in an ox-cart, having been handled without gloves by a brother. While the doctor was dressing the wounds, the man asked; “Doctor, if I die from the effects of this beating, will they hang my brother?” ' “Im afraid they will," was the doctors reply. _ “Then let me die!” said the wequetequocker.—Nero Haven Register.
