.
CONCLUSION. The restitution which Squire Haynes was compelled to make stripped him of more than half his property.
His mortification and chagrin was so great that he determined to remove from Rossville.
He gave no intimation where he was going, but it is understood that he is now living in the vicinity of Philadelphia, in a much more modest way than at Rossville. To anticipate matters a little, it may be said that John was recently examined for college, but failed so signally that he will not again make the attempt.
He has shown a disposition to be extravagant, which, unless curbed, will help him run through his father's diminished property at a rapid rate whenever it shall come into his possession. The squire's handsome house in Rossville was purchased by Henry Morton--I must still be allowed to call him thus, though not his real name.
