CHASED Tor mere tritle. In 1862, the owners being
IN arrears for taxes the land was again disposed of a
treasurers sale, and was bought in by Messrs Frs-
nee and Cooper. of Union, by payment of the taxes

corded. by law, the original owners could within

acres INTO building lots and disposed of them. The

pee now claim the land and it Is said, the improve
