OVER SPECULATION.—The Yankees are proverbially
cute people ;,but the following incident, whilst illustratin
northern shrewdness, may also be considered to prove the.
the New Englanders do not go quite so far ahead of us as
generally supposed :—On Friday last a couple of lads fr ;

an adjacent colliery were sanntenn near a railway crossTg
when a bright idea suddenly occurred to one of them, wind
he immediately communicated to his comrade ; it wa
that they each should place a fourpenny-piece on the
rail before them, and allow it to remain there until
train had passed, it being perfectly evident that Cu
great weight would, in its transit, expand then
groats into sixpences; the idea was acted on instanter,•and
resulted as they had antleipated,:and, the investment being
thought to be in the highest degree an eligible one, they
lost no time in passing the flattened fourpennies at the
increased rate of exchange, and providing themselves with
a further stock of a dozen to continue operations with
which they submitted to the same process, but, unfor-
tunately for the success of the second speculation, it
happened that they placed their united capital on a
portion of the rail which was not exactly level, a very
slight and to them imperceptible hollowness existing in
the iron, and the consequence was that the coins, instead
of becoming. broader, as they confidently expected- they
would, adhered firmly to the wheels, leaving the brace of
speculators gazing, with wonder and dismay depicted on
their countenances, after the train, which swiftly vanished
from their view, and left their property "not a wreck be-
hind." Excessively chagrined at tile issue of affair; the lad
ytho had been taken into partnership insisted upon the origi-
nator of the scheme repaying him the loss he had incurred
by entering into a business which he designated as "no honest," to which proposition the other strongly objecting, a severe pugilistic encounter ensued between them, ending '
finally in the triumph of the genius who promoted the Un- ImEROVEMENT IN GENTLMNVMATS.—ManY lett:l
