It Is difficult to realize that so wild bit of forest is within an hour of New York The private road that leads from the gates to the house winds a quarter of a mile between green walls of trees, flanked by messy boulders, and rising above ravines that tumble off at reck- less angles.
 The house stands on the highest point of the tract. It is Spanish in effect, the lower story of rough-hewn, green tipped rocks, quarried on the place; the upper story of creamy pink stucco. The low, red roof, wide verandas, low entrance door and quaint arrangement of windows are interesting and pie turesque.

 The hunting season has opened and the local sportsmen are seeing to the cleaning of their guns. George Van- Deusen, accompanied by George and Clarence' Tamarage, went coon hunt ing, at Wheelers Farms, Thursday night with their dogs. They sighted a coon after being out little while, and George Tamarage's spaniel suc- ceeded in catching 1t by the back, but the coon turned on the dog and after a sharp fight had him completely licked, after which the spaniel ran home with his tail between his legs.
 The coon ran for tree from where the men succeeded in dislodging him after some trouble, and VanDeusen's coon dog, Prince, made short work of him, though the animal put up stiff fight. They carried the coon home, had him weighed and the scales showed fifteen pounds. Several other parties are making preparations to take a night coon hunting, and 1t is expected that they will tell some wonderful coon stories. Sentinel.
