aged however, having heard a metallic sound,
they continued their investigations and found
two iron pots of different sizes, the one in
verted and put over the other. Upon sepa-
rating them they found gold slightly dimmed,
some silver very, very dark, and small
piece Of parchment with the two words
"Deus," and "Justitia," almost illegible.
The amount Of 5000 was secured by the Rev.
Mr.. Troope, the other two having bargained
to go as assistants only. The short nights
work is the topic of general conversation, and
hundreds have visited the spot and seen the
deep hole, box and pots.
Formerly many holes were dug on Mr.
Crandei's farm with the expectation of find
ing hidden treasure, but all without success,
none ever dreaming before that the true mine
was on the Spragg estate. Although the
Spragg heirs might have lived and died with
out being benefited by this money, yet they
are now thinking of calling to their assistance
the best counsel the city can afford, and de-
prive Rev. Mr.. Troope of what they choose
to style ''his i'll gotten treasure"
1t is supposed to have been buried by buc-
cancers or by the French who originally pos
sessed the country and were driven out by
the English.
