several others who go under fictitious names. It is
fuppofcd that the lauds ottered frr sale on those fa

Such as we have »dual knowledge of are
as follows : Lots No. 11 and u, Otfego patent,

fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of
Mr. Cbauinont, now of Paris, and lames A7eriU
and others, ol this State. There is fomc grounds
to suppose that thr lands of Richard Wells and
Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their
management.—The Printers will.do well to give
this a place in their papers, as well to cnution the
public against purchasing those lands, at also to de
prive these men in fature from impaling on indivi
