In the hurry of his political canvass, Gov

property owned by him, he had no time to
consider the offer carefully. but concluded
that he would telegraph his acceptance. He
had at the same time occasion to telegraph to
an old friend, General Gibson, who was in a
neighb0ring town, and as he was bothered BY
a dozen claims upon his attention, he got the
addresses of the two dispatches mixed The
acceptance of the business offer went of d.

The booming of the stock market is ex-

the mania. 1.-The prevailing impression
