“ There are but very few dry goods'at

From an Albany paper-—OBober ro.
A gentleman in a hte tour through the
counties of OlTcgo and Tioga, takes notice
of the remains ot ah ancient regular forti
fication, on il.e eafl banket the Sufque
han iah and nearly opposite the mouth of
the Unadilla river, its figure is triangu
lar and contains about an acre of land—
Huge pines (tor it is fuuatcd on a pine
pi..in) of three feet diameter, which have
gtewn onus walls aoo in its trenHiescrum
ble into duff with age. Allowing foi* the
decay ot the fert and the growth and de
cay c f the trees, he confiders the fort
of 1000 years antiquity.
The writer of this article has met with
many fortifications in the counties Onon
dago, Ontario, and Tioga in a similar
{late. There h one which he saw last
year on the north ban!: of the Chenango,
in Ti :ga- county, near the house of Ben
jamin Hovey, Esq. The trench, the
wa!R and the pallages were diftin&ly
marked. It contains againfl the meafuie.
The court of up wards of an acre. Its torm
is between an it regular circle and a quad
rangle. The trees of an i.nmenfc ftze had
been cut down, but by counting the cir
cles ofan annual vegetation, fxne of them
were about two h indred years of age.
There is another on the north fide ot the
tiate road from O.mndago catie to Kay uga
ferry, near to Burk’s tavern, o.i a com
manding fp 't of nearly the fame form*
but of iarger dimensions. The trees on
its feite, walls, and trenches, were very
large.
He vifated on dill larger within two or
three miles ot Conanda'qa on the ea'l fide
ofrhe Jake. He has been informed that
there are considerable numbers ot them
in a dixeft course from Lake Ontario to
the river Ohio. Would it be worth

they forts raised oy ihe Spaniih or French
in their travels on the diicovciy of the

Are they the remains ot tome nation or

in the forefts of North-America, and
whom misfortune has long ago destroyed
