upwards Of 1927 ,009 have been invested in
Penn. state stocks. The impression upon
the minds Of some was that a much larger
amount has been secured The statement
rendered by the managers will correct the
error, and gives The separate amounts col,
lected in each STATE. FIom The repor, given,
II appears that The largest amount, being O.

rext largest in Maryland. we thought,
until now, that Virginia had contributed
most Literally of any of the states, and con>
clude that The agent for Virginia, mus. have
proceeded rather cody in his mission. We
are sure tina. Virginia was not wanting in
