There scorned no causo fur agitation.
Colonel Vernon holdout his hand calmly,
as he would to any acquaintance he had

'Ho you like your t-ehool ? Isn't it
dull now?'' were his next questions, after
inquiries foi her health.
"Not dull," she said, striving tospeak

too full employed to allow of that."
'Was there any society '!"
'Yes, at Ihc J oi t J quite a number of
the officers' wires were there, aud were

Jlad Colonel Vernon furgnttoii their
relation ? In no way or manner didho
allude to it, aud Esther acted upon the
hint she felt intended for her beucfit. -
lie learned that she had como there

spoke ol the various places to which his

and successes.

t ho felt inclined to leave tho place
dirt etly ; but she was"; conscious of tho
ridiculousness of fleeing when there was
polhing from which to Hoc.
. In the society of the lort, from which
the could not always absent herself, they
frequently met. After a short time, he
often joined her on her way to or from
Iier school. They became more than
acquaintances friends! but still that
btramie reserve on his part regarding tho
past. Esther sometimes questioned if
it were not all a drer.iu.
The cvemn'T had been spent at the
fort eavlv. Esther was in brilliant
spirits. Usually quiet, she was tow tho
life of the cav company. She scarcely
recognized herself in this new mood, but
she did not try to cheek the gay flow of
spirits. ''It would be brief enough,"
she said to herself

'I have never heard Culunel Vernon

answered, a little proudly.
"Esther, it was because I knew tho
past would not bear recalling. My own
past, at least, I had nothing to be proud
of. Vcs, I had a wife. How, in tho

need not tell you. I had my puuifh.

with remarkable virulence. We are
clad to learn that two of our friends,
Messrs George Messenger and Jeremiah
Elliott, both of Spring Creek township",
on tftClurion, have recently made a
handsomo speculation in the sale of
their territory. The farm of Mr. Mes.
scnger, containing 300 acres, brought
the very handsomo sum of$50,000, and
that of Mr. Elliott, containing 500 acres
sold nearly as well, bringing, we are told,
853,000. The purchaser was a gentle,
man by tho name of Scott, and it is his
intention wc believe, to at once cotu
nicuco operations. The Bale of theso
lands has given quite an impetus to oil
speculations, and we would not bo sur
prised if some of the lucky property
holders in the vicinity of Ridgway
would realize handsome fortunes from
the sale of their land.
Wo also understand that tho Arm.

company of speculators for the sum of
