THE public are requcfled to take notice, that
the partnership which has far some time fab
filled betweaa Mathias Slough of Lancaster, and
William Geer, is now diftblved: but, not as M.
Slough infinuatesto the public without just cause ;
as will more fully appear by a letter on the fub
jed from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 19th
December last. a recital of which is not now deem
ed necessary. Atoy gentleman who wilhes to be
more circumstantially informed of the merits of
this bulinefs, by applying to W. Geer may have
the perusal of M. Slough's letter, and then can be
at full liberty to determine whether or not W.
Geer is not perfectly juftifiable in attaching him
felf to any other person in the prosecution of the
Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippenf
urg, or any other place.
Now from tbe liberal and generous support the
public were pleased to confer on the firft effort in
this business, VTilliam Geer, in conjunction with
Messrs. Reily, Weed and Witmer, is determined
to profecutc and carry it on, with every care, at
tention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the pub
lic can pofiibly exert.
The above company, who are amply provided
with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance to
render the paflage fafe and commodious, inform

CAUTION.
WHEREAS a combination of men in this
county have undertaken to enrich th«m
felves.by fabricating titles to sundry valuable trails
of land, the property of gentlemen living in New
Yoik, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for whiah
trails of lsnd large sums of money have been paid
to theft- fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers *
It is therefore ju.l that public information fliould
be given, to the end, that the injured may feck re
drefi while the men have property, and are to be
found. Those who have been discovered are Tru
man Harrifoa, Joseph Witcomb, fa id now to rc
fide in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and
several otheri who go under fi&itious names. It is
supposed that the lauds offered frr fa Won thofejFa
bricated titles, are at lead worth fifty thoufaud
dollars. Such as we have afiual knowledge of are
as follows': Lots No. II and 11, ©tfegs patent,
thousand acres each, the aAual property of William
Dellwyn, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64,
fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of
Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and lames AveriU
and others, »i this State. There is Tome grounds
to fuppofc that the lauds of Richard WelU 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 caution the
public against purchaling those lands, as also to de
prive those men in future from imposing on indivl
du&fs, which their education and aildrefs have en
abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has beta
a fhopkeepcr of fume note in this country.
The following affidavits will set in a clear point
of view the wickedness of those men, which when
the public have perused, will induce them to ei
cufc the interference of Wm. COOPER.
Otfego.July agth, 1797.
I Thomas Kelly,of the County of Otfego, hav
ing been led into an error, by John Witcomb and
Truman Harrifon, of the fame County, to Ggn a
deed to them, for lot No. 58, Otfego patent, which
was the property of William I Franklin now Mr.
Chamont's and others ; and further the hid Joseph
and Truman did persuade me to do this against my
inclination, which was made out on the icth day
of November, 1793, or set back two years so as
to bring it to that time ; and further the name of
Pardon Starks to that deed was a fiflitioui nam-,
there being no such perlon there. To this I mako

for the purpose oi bringing forward the fame agree- .
ably so the rulea and orders whieh the board naay

And as it will be for the intcreft of all coaeeraad,
that the several claims be so dated, and support
ed, as to prevent the delay whieh would arifc from
the necefltty of obtaining further information, or ad
ditional materials,from periods reading at a distance,
ibe general agent thiols it his duly to add, (for the

question*
4th The lofi and damage incurred or fufiaincd,
in eonfequence of such impediments, whether the

have and receive full and adequate compensation" for
the losses and damages so fudaiued.
The general agent thinks if his duty farther to fug
