A few days since a labourer at Cleve, near Worcester, accidently discovered a hidden treasure.  The man was digging, and struck the pick-axe he was working with into an earthen pot, and out tumbled a vast quantity of pieces of silver coin, about the size of a silver threepence.  The finder immediately threw himself upon his knees, and returned God thanks for his ****** fortune.  Searching farther he discovered another pot filled with gold.
   The man, overjoyed, ran with all possible speed to the town to acquaint his friends with his good luck.  After **** reflection, he made up his mind to **** to the owner of the estate the **** of his acquisitions.  The estate belonged to one of the Canons belonging to Worcester Cathedral.  On making the tender to that Gentleman, he, with a noble disinterestedness so**** to accept of the money, taking *** *** ***ed to be kept as memorials.

   The****  were all Roman ones, and the whole of *** ** ****, the greater proportion being coined in the third century, that is, 1500 years ago.  The man has realized 500 l. by the ****.
