A few days ago a young man in Chester county being violently afflicted with the tooth-ache, applied to a neighbour for advice, and was recommended to extract the aching tooth and to furnish himself with another from some dead man's skull. He accordingly repaired to Brandywine, and opening the grave of a Hessian who had been killed and buried there; in lifting the head a considerable number of guineas, which had been artfully concealed, fell out of the soldier's hair,—so much to the astonishment and joy of the invalid that he instantly lost or forgot his malady.
