THE pablic are requeued to take notice, that
the partnership which has far some time fub
fiiUd bctweaH Mathias Slough of Lancaster, and
William Geer, is now dissolved : but, not as M.
Slough infinuatesto the public without just cause ;
as will more fully appear by a letter on the fub
je& from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 29th
December last a recital of which is not now deem
ed neceflary. Any gentleman who wishes to be
more circutnflantially infermed of the merits of
this business, by applying to W. Geer may have
'he perusal «f M. Slough's letter, and then can be
at full liberty to determine whether or not W.
Geer is not perfedlly juftifiable in attaching him
felf to any other pcifon in the prolecutton of the
Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to JJhippenf
urg, or any other place.
Now from tbe liberal and generous support the
public were pleased to confer on thr firft effort in
this business, VC illiam Geer, inttonjuntflion with
Meflrs. Reily, Weed and Wi-.mer, is determined
toprofecute and carry it on, with every care, at
tention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the pub
lic canpofTibly exert.
The above company, who are amply provided
with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance to
render the paflage fafe and commodious, inform

undertaking, that they can take tbeir feats at

CAUTION.
WHEREAS a combination of men in this
county have undertaken to enrich th«m
felves, by fabricating titles to fundr jr valuable trails
of land, the property of gentlemen living in New
York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which
traits of ls'nd large funis of money have been paid
to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers ■
It is therefore just that public information fhonld
be given, to the end, that the injured may seek re
dress while the men have property, and are to be
found. Those who have benn difcovcred are Tru
man Hstrrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re
side in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and
several other! who go under fi&itious names. It is
luppofcd that th; lands offered fcr sale on those fa
bricated titles, are at lead worth fifty thousand
dollars. Such as we have adual knowledge of are
as follows : Lots No. II and 12, Otfego patent,
thousand acres each, the aflual property of William
Dcllwyn, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64,
fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of
Mr. Cnanninnr, now of Paris, and janies Averill
and other., ot tint State. There is foine grounds
to fuppofo that the lands of Richard Welis 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 agfduft purchasing those lands, as also to de
prive thdfe men in future from ipipofiqg on indivi
duafs, which their education and address have en
abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been
a shopkeeper of some note in this tountry.
The following affidavits will fct in a clear point
of view the wickadnefsof those men, which wkm
the public have perused, will indu«e them to ex
cufc the interference of Wm. COOPER.
Otfego, July *Bth, 1757.
1 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 sign a
deed to them, for lot No. 58, Otfego patent, which
was theproperty of William T. Franklin now Mr.
Chamont's and others ; arid further the said Joseph
and Tniman did pcrfuade me to do this against mv
inclination, which was made 0114 011 the icth day
of November, 1793, or set back two years so as
to bring it to that time ; and further the nam* of
Pardon Starlts to that deed was a fiSitious namo,
there being 110 such person there. To this I make
voluntary oath. THOMAS KELLY.

On the 19th July, 1797. came perfonalljr before

On the 18th July, 1797, came before me Jacob

good credit, vrho on his solemn oath did fay, that
two of lie parties abovementioned did make ap
plication to him this deponent, feme time in the
winter of 1796.r0 make them a deed for two thou
sand acrns of land iu the Otego patent, and pro
mised this deponent a share of the profits, on thu
sale of said lands, for His so doing ; and that thay
made application several times for the fame pUrpo f,
which serviCes this deponent as often refufed, de
claring to them thut he had no right to lands, and
coulddo no such thing ; which daring attempt on
this deponent's integrity he had related .vrong his
