SLEEPY HOLLOW CHURCH.

wing died and was, buried within the
evergreen enclosure little way up the
hill, the chapel became too small for
It's congregation. So the present First
Protestant Dutch Reformeds church on
the main street of .Tarrytown.was built.
The congregation still owns: the Sleepy
Hollow chapel, and during the, early
autumn months generally holds SER
vice in it on Sunday afternoon. It has
now borne the cost of, putting on new
roof, repointing the old stone and yell
low brick, .repainting the quaint and
dlmlnutive interior, and restoring the
pulpit. It has also removed the small
tablet above the front door, which
states that Frederick Phillips AID
Catharina Van Cortlant erected Sleepy
Hollow church in 1899. From the rec
ords the statement is known to be
wrong and the date to be 1897 or
earlier. The builder of old Sleepy Hol-.
low church, who had first given his
name to large part of Yonkers, was

pupil with an immense stock Of useless words. a
vocabulary far larger than The greatest writer's

greater perfection with each effort, at last the.
difficult idiom is used with ease and accuracy.
