Royer, of Centre Hill, was a caller Wednesday morning, and exhib- ited a copper cent, bearing the date of 1801, which was plowed up on the Roy- er honiestead east of Centre Hill. John W. Royer, deceased, father of J. B. Royer, unearthed a silver watch of the old Evglish pattern, and Daniel Shref- fler, who owned the farm before it came into the possession of the Royers, plowed up $49.00 in silver coins of va- rious denominations. Supposition is that Couley and Richard, the noted highway robbers in the early history of Penns Valley, on one of their trips from Bald Eagle Valley via Logan's Gap and Potters Mills to Mifflin eoun- ty, secreted fifty doliars somewhere on the Royer farm, and that the $4u 01 are a part of it, Where are the ninety-nine cents ?
