HOARDERS OF SILVER.

The wife of one of the Churchwardens of non-
mouth was lately thrown into great consternation,
on being informed that" the silver in general cir-
eulatkon was mostly • of: ft spurious nature, and
would nut be taken at the Mint in eXchange for
the new coin the fear of a great loss induced
her to communicate to her good man a secret she
liad long kept, that by 'saving and :hoarding- of
shillings she' had .accnnsulated,to the amount' of
3001. A shopkeeper and neighbour of the former
found also, upon the like report, upwards of 1001.
in silver, although both had frequently been Un-
willing to accommodate their customers with
change, expressing, in loud terms, their wonder
what was gone 'with all the silver," awl their ap-
prehensions that, like the gold, it would never
return again. There are instances of servanti
also, who, unable to get gold. and fearful of keep-
ing the Bankers' notes, have got all their little
savings in silver. The calling in of gold and
silver -occasionally is a good way to keep bath
moving, and, hut for such an expectation, these
hoards would much longer have•heen excluded the
benefit of air and light.
