L.dyNU JV:K.4R TO RICH.HOND
FOR, SALE.

i am DESTROYS of selling, By private conveyance,
Nh right to property ON both sides Of the
C nal the same aCItich claim by virtue
of contracts made aoith Col. John Har-
vie deceased, some time before his death.
THE chief motive of this desire, at present,
is, to satisfy debt which owe TO Neil McCoul,
Esqr. the amount not ascertsined, secured on
that property. l shall prefer to sell an undivid-
ed moiety. If a private bargain shall not be
made in a short time, public sale will be at
tempted. The nature ofmy right witha des-
cripton of several claims against the Estate of
said Harvie for aconsiderable quantity of Wes-
tern Lands sc. may be understood by an examin-
ztion of the bill and documents filed against his
representatives in the Superior Court of Chance
ny, requiring perfect title to the above menti-
oned property and compensation for the Western
Lands; Copies of each of these Bills, with the
documents referred to, are left at the Mer-
chants Coffee house.
In the first of those bills it is admitted hat the
representatives of Col. Harvie will be entitled to
an annual rent charge of200l. year on the pro-
perry offered for sale, so soon a, am vested with
such title md possession, as the contract autho-
rises; The rent charge was originally 300l ayear,
and was reduced to 200 by subsequent con-
tract-and it is also alledged that my claims a
gainst the estate for the Western Lands, are of
more value than the rent charge.
Ehave made improvements on the above Land,
the annual rents of which have been estimated al
s 1870 the benefits of which with the use and
profit ofthe whole land, including several quar-
ries, are now enjoyed by Col. Harvie's represen
tatives for which am entitled to credit.
All further particulars may be known byan ex
animation of the documents referred to, or ar

few days since the right bank of the Hud-

Esq Gen. Delavan, Mr.. Yale, DIR Howell, Pro.
lessor Mitchell, and several other gentlemen.
for the purpose of settling question Of some i'm :
portance in Geology. 1t had been asserted that
the strata of sand stone forming the quarries of
Nyack, in Rockland county, covered LAYER of
loose earth which abounded in bones of land
animals On digging to the bottom, in the pre-.
sence of the proprietor, Mr.. VIM. Palmer, che
party was convinced of the correctness of the
story. Fragments of bones, some of which are
conjectured TO belong to the human skeie,on,
were disinterred from the situation IN which
they have rested ever since the food and the
gentlemen carried away parcels Oft these curious
and relics.
For twenty years past, the labourers in this
quarry, which is situated near the methodist
meeting house at Nyack, have occasionally found
bones and their fragments beneath the solid
rock. 1t was the opinion Of The former owner
that the creatures to whose bodies they belong.
ed, had been buried there by some overwhem-
ing earthquake but the late visitors are nclin-
ed TO ascribe them to the operation of the De.
luge, of which the mos cogent evidence ex Is

for re establishing peace, but the comman-

who were carried off by Indians had not
