The absurdity of the rumor seemed to impress no speculator; ami for the last four or live days iienny buying has been going on here at a great rate. Kmly last week Mr. Edwin IS.

Mr. (iresham worked assiduous ly and collected many hundred other pennies, but he whs able to sell none of these at a profit. He still has on hand enough copner to make life si.e statues of both the mayor and the recorder. Mr. (ireslmru was not the only man who bought iicnnics in largo cpiaiilities.
