0ldrn Tlme-A Curious Relic-Thc Original
Deed OF Staten Island.

| Among tho curious papers in the New York
Historical Society is the original grant Of Staten
Island from the Indians to Governor Lovelaee.
Before Tie American Revolution it was in the
possession Of Henry Kipp Of New York. Then
it was in tho hands Of Sidney Brcosc, Casinovia,
n. Y, and given by him 20 Mr.. Hazard Of
! Philadelphia, who presented it TO the New York
Historical Society. 1t is a most remarkable
fact that the half OF the third sheet of this doc
umcnt was lost ior iorty-two years, but after
wards found among some old papers belonging
TO the Historical Society, when it was restored
to its original place. Thus the decd is again
complete, and any descendants of tho Knicker-
bockcrs orithc Hugucnots who first settled that
beautiful island, may see the original grant Of
its soil fairly purchased Of the Indian owners
and paid for.
The Indcnturc was made on the "l3th day of
April 1870, in the 22d year of Charles I'd, by
the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith, &c.,
between Francis Lovclace, Governor eneral,
under james, Duke of York, and Albany, &c.,
and the Iadians Aqucpo, Warines, Minqua,
Sachemack, Pcrmcntoes, Quewequeen, We
mancca, Oncck, and Mataris, on behalf of
themselves as the true owners and lawful Indi-
an rroprietors Of Staten Island" They also
declare "ihat they, the Sachems, arc now the
very true, sole and lawful Indian owners OF
said island, and all and singular premises, as
being derived to them by their ancestors" 1t
was also bargaincd that the Indians then re-
siding on the island should have liberty to re-
main there until the first of May next, when
they were to surrender it to such persons as the
governor should please to appoint.
De Wires, the carly Dutch navigator, had
visited the island thirty-two years before this
period, Gin 1889 who claimed it by patent
from tho West Indian Company. He calls the
Indian inhabitants HowE-ATAEs, and the island
itself MoNoNooNo. I believe that John An
thon, Esq, has named his splendid place on the
heights Of the Quarantine after this aboriginal
patronymic.
"The payments agreed upon for the purchase
OF Staten Island, conveyed this day by ye In
dians Sachcm's prophets, is viz:
/, Four hundred fathoms of Wampum.
2. Thirty Match Boots.
). Eight Coates of Durreen's made-up.
4. Thirty Shirts
s. Thirty Kettles.
6. Twenty Gunnes.
7. A Firkin of Powder.
8. Sixty Barrcs OF Lead.
0. Thirty Axes.
10. Thirty IIowcs.
IL. Fifty Knives.
at was convcnanted that two or three Of the
said Sachcms, theiE heirs, or successors, or per-
sons employed by them once in every year, on
the first day of May, after their surrender, re-
pair to the fort and acknowledge their sale to the
governor, and continue in mutual friendship.
FRAscIs LovRLAcR."
Would not these parcels of the OLDRS TINE
make a good literary dish for the Sons of St.
Tammany or St. Nicholas, to smoke over, at
some of their rich dinnorsi GID.

WINTER NIGHT.

There's cold that cannot pierce us;
There's frown each heart may brave
There's woe that cannot reach US
They are thine, o dreamy grave!
There are loves that weary never;
There are ties ne'er coldly riv'n;
There are souls that never wrong US
They are thino alone, sweet Heaven
Earthly scorn is changed to kindness;
Earthly want to boundless store;
Earthly moans are turned to music
On not far distant shore
Ne'er travellers lip confirmed il;
Yet It's writ in promises fair
Staff and scrip have long been ready
I've the heart to journey there,

The "Bekchers."

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, of Brooklyn,
has been presented by members of his congre-
CATION, who think the wear and tear of his in
tellectual studies upon his constitution require
some little recreation with some SIS, 900 for
the purchase of a o4ntry seat for a summer
residence. Mr.. B. hA accordingly purchased
farm in the beautifH town of Lenox, Mass,
whereon he will ere& cottage for the occu-
patton of himself and family during the sum-
mer months.
The Rev. EdwaH Beecher, says New
York correspondence the Boston Post, has
now in press eatise on theology, which
will demand the attk tkntion of the curious in
such matters; it is said to entertain the pre-
existence of man ere he became Incorporated
in the flesh OF thf world, and to have (ot
course) strong spiritual tinge to recommend
it to the judgment lof the rappers, table-tip-
pers, and other mysterious folk.
The following fbm another clergyman, is
story too good tQ be lost, says the Boston
Olive Branch soAere it slides -
quarter OF ka century since loved to
listen to the eloquent dlscourses of Lyman
Beecher, and he fad not many equals either
theologian OF an orator. The fathers
early fame, It appears to me, has nearly
spoiled the chlldre+, and / fear that the recent
accumulation of fane bestowed on one of the
daughters has turIfd the heads Of the whole
family, Judging from their conduct. How do
you account for il, hat men well educated, as
the Beechers eyidSptly are, should have be-
come one idea meH-mere hobby riders-who
would apparently Nde over, rough shod, every
man that did notbew the knee to their dictum
have said that tfie Beecher family is Curl
Gus family !; and 81 it is thought by MANY 9th
ers. Travelling il Berkshire county few
months since, et with good orthodox
clergyman, who, kmong other things, spoke
OF the Beecher farAily. He seemed to think
there must be screw loose somewhere, for
they were unlike @ny other folks that ever
lived, and under wihat code of morals to place
them he did not k1pw. The world said he,
has very much changed within few years
1t is not now as It'll kyas once for once it was
divided into two qasses, the righteous and the
,Cicked.' Now, be observed, sit is divided
into three, viz tie righteous, the aCicked. and
the BeecherS.'"
