CURIOUS HOARD OF A CONNECTICUT
 FARMER.
 Most of the employees in the Sub Treasury were babes in arms when the Government was cOining the copper half cents which were called in with the ''red cents" in 1857. The clerks in the redemption department were at sea yesterday when a consignment of S53O in the half cents, l06,0 ,000 of the coins, was received from a Connecticut bank for redemption. As the half cent weighed S4 grains, l06, ,000 of them weigh ,542 pounds. It turned out that an old farmer in Connecticut hOarded $3.000 and buried it in an arbor. His executors found the treasure the other day, and the United States Treasury Department is to be asked to redeem the half cents which formed a part of it. Visitors at the Sub-Treasury helped re- deem them, yesterday. to the extent of cents worth apiece. The market value of the half cent as d curio is likely to be depressed by the unexpectedly large wis ible supply. The total coinage of half cents from l793 to 1856 inclusive was in value S39, ,926.ll, or in number 1885, ,222
