To collect 3000 threepenny pieces one would require to possess a great deal of patience (says the "Otago Daily Times"). N A well-known Dunedin resident evidently possessed that characteristic, as when an inventory of her belongings was taken following on her death, which took place recently, a bag containing 3000 threepenny pieces was discovered. Another bag contained about 100 sovereigns, and there was in addition a bundle of banknotes, and an accumulation of wearing apparel. The whole estate, which includes two freehold properties, with residences thereon, is estimated to be worth £3000. The deceased left np will, but it is understood that a number of cousins in Dunedin and America Will benefit as the next-of-kin.
