LAND SEIDE.

Rather an unexpected aud disastrous land : slide, has occurred tin'the south side of the j river in th s town. Dr. Martin and /Alfred Thompson lave found, according to the record, that their houses are not on their own lands, and Messrs. Bullard, Lußue, Milroy, ! Clark, Si yder and Van Rensselaer find the __lines matei ildly changed from where they supposed they were. It seems that a mistake was made in laying out the Lafayette road. It should bear fourteen more degree south than at present laid out, which would take it through Mr. Thompson’s wood-house. { This would give to Mr. Milroy about double i the land he is now in possession of, and it throws all the lots and f streets north of the Lafayette road completely out of gear, run- I ning one street into the river and through the center of the mill-dam. We do not ■ know who committed the first error. How- I ever,.this matter can .be riuhted with very ! little trouble it every man does his duty and consents td an amicable adjustment and re- ! location of the lines where they were under- j stood to be heretofore. We believe all the parties interested will do so.
