Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee Co., NY May 16 1843 DIED. In Elba, on the 3d inst., Mr. Joseph A. WAKEMAN, aged 39 years. "Leaves have their time to fall And flowers to wither at the north winds breath, And stars to set--but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own, Oh! death." By the death of Mr. WAKEMAN, the community have lost an estimable citizen and neighbor--the wife an affectionate companion, and the church an exemplary and ornamental member. Wherever he was known, he was beloved. In his political sentiments he was a liberal and consistent Democrat. In his attachments, the kind and ardent friend--in his business, the upright and honorable dealer, and in his religion, the daily and pious Christian. He was retired in his manners, but intelligent; and unobtrusively won the respect and esteem of all who knew him. The writer has during the past year had frequent opportunities of associating with him, around the family fireside and in the christian[sic] circle, and he can truly say in the words of the Poet--sung on the occasion of his funeral!. "Brother thou wast mild and lovely, Gentle as the summer breeze, Pleasant as the air of evening, When it floats among the trees." He died as he lived; a Christian. "Blessed are the dead, which die in the Lord, from henceforth. Yes saith the spirit that they may rest from their labours, and their works do follow them." (Communicated.) * INDIAN LANDS. In the State of New-York. For sale by Public Auction, in the city of Buffalo, on the 15th day of June next, about 16,000 acres of Land, in the county of Erie, being part of the tract called the Buffalo Creek Reservation, the north line of which is bounded on the Corporation line of the city of Buffalo. And on Monday, the 19th of June, at Batavia, in Genesee County, about 8000 acres of Land, in that county, being part of the tract called the Tonawanda Reservation, lying on the Tonawanda Creek, near the town of Batavia. The possessory right in these tracts, hitherto reserved by the Seneca Indians for their own occupation, has been lately sold by them to the preemptive owners. They are now surveyed and subdivided into convenient farms amounting in number to about 320, containing generally from 50 to 140 acres each. These tracts have never been before in market. They are well known to be the most inviting bodies of land in the State of New-York, both as to soil and situation, being all near the Grand Canal and the Great Western Railroad: part of them in the vicinity of the city of Buffalo, and part near the town of Batavia and other flourishing villages and settlements, and all possessing extensive and durable water. For the culture of wheat the Tonawanda Tract is not excelled by any land in the State. By the convention between Massachusetts and New-York, these Lands will be exempt from state taxes for fifteen years from the date of purchase of the Indians in 1842. The title which is indisputable, is now vested in the undersigned Trustees, by whom the farms will be conveyed to the purchasers at the sale. Terms of sale.--One fourth of the purchase money to be paid in hand--the residue in five annual instalments, with annual interest, and to be secured by Bond and Mortgage. To enable applicants conveniently to examine the farms, Maps will be furnished, on application to the Subscribers at their respective offices in the City of New-York and in the village of Geneva; to Gen. H.B. POTTER and ROGERS & SMITH, Buffalo; and II U. SOPER, at the Clerk's office Batavia; Maps will also be placed in several of the County Clerk's offices. T.L. OGDEN. Joseph FELLOW. *
