Revolutionary Anecdotss-lt is well remembered that reward of 1 600 was offered for the head of John Hancock. When he signed the Declaration of Independence, he did it with hold hand, in a conspicuous manner, aud rose from his seat, pointing to it, and exclaimed, s'there John Bull can read my name without spectaeies, he may double his reward and put him at defiance"

 When visited Mir. Adams in November 1918, his hand trembled similar to Stephen Hopkins, the Quaker patriot from Rhode Island, who had been afflicted with paralytic stroke. Mir. Adams acted as his amanuensis, and asked him fine should sign his name to the Declaration ofIndependence for him. He replied, "No! will sign it myself,-if we are hung for signing it, you shall not be hung for signing it for me. .Mr. Adams then in imitation of Hopkins, took his pen, clasped his wrist with his left hand, went through the tremulous motion of signing his name, and in the language of Hopkins, emphatically said, eff my hand trembles, John Bull will find my heart wen't! which, Mir. Adams said, electrified all Congress, and made the most timid firm in their pur- pose.
