"A number of people have for some months past been digging, at Wethersfield Rocky-Hill, for hidden treasure—Some of them have never seen the Devil; others, while digging, have seen what frightened them prodigiously; but none of them have seen the money. To prevent any further fruitless researches, we can, from good authority, inform them that Mr. Devil has removed his Strong Box to Pennsylvania."
To corroborate which, he introduces the extract of a letter from Lancaster, which has been published in the daily papers of this city, which informs that a farmer in that county lately ploughed up a chest which contained nearly half a bushel of gold!
