He saw no reason why his own acres might not prove to be flowing with oil, and he instituted some preliminary investigations, which had only resulted in disappointment. Though already a man of abundant means, he was inclined to be grasping, and had no objection to doabling or trebling his present property. In fact, tbe love of money was the ruling passion with the 'Squire, and this was not unknown to his townsmen.XX AND XXXX PORTER, MINERAL WATER, SODA WATER, SARSAPARILLA, Ac. BOTTLED ALE AND PORTER.

To think that the prize for which he had sought should after all have fallen to the lot of the widow with her ten poor acres. It was certainly strange. Now bow should he find his own profit in it? If he could buy the farm even at five thousand dollars, he could readily make it pay him fifty thousand dollar!. The indications were that the oil spring was a rieh one. At any rate, the water he drank smacked strongly enough of oil. But would the widow sell ? That was the important question. The more time she had for thought, the higher probably would'her price advance. If she consulted Norcrcss be might as well give it up as-a loet chance, for the lawyer would be as anxious to ceeure it as himself.
