On Friday the 3d inst. as a laboring man was digging gravel from a bank on Tacony creek, near the entrance of Frankford Creek, for the purpose of erecting a stone wall, he fortunately discovered at the distance of three feet from the surface of the earth, a small pitcher containing 100 pieces of antiquated silver coins, of various nations (amongst which are two of New England) the latest date of 1652 ; all in a perfect state, excepting the two largest nearest the earth; which were corroded with verdigrease ;

a tale has been handed down by tradition from father to son, that Blackbeard, the noted pirate, deposited his treasure in the vicinity of the borough of Frankfort ; a few of the credulous inhabitants thereof, who were anxious to better their fortunes speedily, rather than by the slow toil of many years, have been digging in quest of imaginary treasure in vain, whilst this worthy laborer, by the sweat of his brow, trusting to honest industry, has been amply repaid for his toil by Providence.
