SECURING A FORTUNE MARRYING THREE SIS

senators from the river counties to our Legisa-

in good cause. A few years ago he courtcd
and ma rried a young lady who had two sisters,
possessing among them, largo fortune. His
wife died and by some means her share of the
property did not fall to him, but remained in pos
session ofth two surviving sisters. He courtcd
and married the second one, who. in the moan
tmc, had arrived at womanhood BY her he had
child; soon after, she. too died. and it so
arranged that the property remained in the other
sister and his child, and neither could como
in possession of it until this offspring of age.
In the meantime the third sister came to MATURE
ty. What did hero do but court and marry
her. ''He didn't do anything elscr and is now
in possession Of tho whole fortune. originally left
to the three sisters! If any one doubts this ro-
mantle and singular story they will find it fully
confirmed by enquiring in Scioto county. The
lato election has placed him in tho Senate of our
growing State, and if he looks after her own in
terests with the assiduity no did after his own,
he will doubtless prove the most valuable member
