accumulated an estate of some S25 900 or $50 900,
and this it was that induced Sarah Hampstead 20
inveige him into matrimOny. Their first visit to
Middletown-that beautiful village on the bank Of
the Connecticut-was not a very pleasant one, and
the second was more disagreeable still Sarah and
her sister Ann soon became impatient under the
restraint imposed by the social condition OF Middle
town, ard their eccentricites speedily EXCLUDED
them from Ill association with those to whom the
husband of the former had introduced his VIE ana
