under Rochambeau had joined the

Of the house that is associated with
ROchambeau.
Rich in Historic Places.
Westchester county is rich in his
tOric places, yet, among them all, per-
haps none is more justly noted than
the property now known chiefly as the
Livingston Manor house. though In
truth it has no claim to that title. The
land on which the house stands was
purchased from the Indians in April,
1862, by Frederick Philipse, whose
Manor house is now the city hall Of
YOnkers, and was held by his family,
under royal charter from the English
crown, until after the Revolution, when
, it was cOnfscated by the government
on account Of the ,TOryism of its own
ers. 1t was occupied during Revolu-
uonary times by Thomas Hyatt, ten
ant farmer, who had leased it and the
surrounding tract of land from the
lord Of Philipsburg, and who prided
himself on having the best location in
that part Of the country, the best
| house between YOnkers and Sleepy
Hollow, but whose chief claim to fu-
ture greatness seems to have been his
ability TO tell "big stories"
He had no political opinion, and
cared little which party ruled, as long
as crops were good. But the even tenor
of his life was destined to Interrupt
ton, both by Americans and by Brit
ish. In 1776, after the battle Of
White Plains, came the redcoats, prior
to their march on Fort Washington.
Lord Howe here made his maps Of
Westchester roads, and here General
Lee rested on his march to Morris
town. And, in the following winter, a
division Of WashingtOns army en-
camped here, to command the passage
of the river. The poor farmer was, in
deed, besieged.
On August l, 1850, the main body of
the American army crossed the river
and encamped at Dobbs Ferry, and
the old house became the headquar-
ters of the army's chief, and of his
generals, Lafayette, Steuben, Knox
Greene and Hamilton. Washington's
maneuver attained its object, that Of
drawing the enemy back to Rhode
Island, and the main body of the
American army recrOssed to the New

at EliZabethtown, n. j.. which after
ward became Princeton college. On
April %, 1774, he was one of a party
who, disguised as Mohawks, like their
Boston cOmpatriOts, threw overheard
cargo Of tea brought by the Nancy
into the harbOr of New York. The
place was sold by Van Brugh Living
stOn to Stephen Archer in 1886, and
was his residence until his death in
1877. 1t was purchased by DR.. Joseph
HasbrOuck in 1882.
EarthwOrks were established at
several points within the village Of
Dobbs Ferry during the Revolutionary
war. An embankment at the foot Of
Chestnut street was leveled only q
few years ago. The outlines Of re-
doubt, in perfect condition, are still
preserved in the angles formed by the
junction of Broadway and Livingston
avenue. The remains of fort, a
still more imposing earthwork, are
carefully preserved on a knoll few
rods southeast of the redOubt.
The interior of the house has been
changed but little, save that where
once were heavy beams one now sees
a modern ceiling. Also the old Dutch
windows have been enlarged so that
through them one may pass out onto
the veranda, which extends across al
most the whole side.

Many Quaint Relics.

Within are many quaint old relics
the table built for Major Paulding Of
New York, at which Lafayette was
entertained in 1924, and the chairs
which were used at that banquet; a
copper kettle given by a British Off
Ger to a negro slave quaint old china
and pewter dishes brought from Hol-
land in the seventeenth century. Here,
too, is an odd old fOOtstove, such as
our grandmOthers carried with them
to church, and, perhaps the most in
tereSting of them all, and one which
at least brings the war very strongly
before us, is a Revolutionary cannon
ball cut from an old cherry tree on
the place.
Stephen Archer, who bought the
house from Livingston, was Quaker
and abolitionist, and during the Civil
war the place became station on the
underground railway" Many a
trembling slave was safely hidden
within its friendly walls until pursuit
was over and opportunity was afford
ed to seek the Canadian boundary. DR..
Joseph Hasbrouck, the last owner Of
the house, was a descendant Of an old
Huguenot family and former vice-pres-
ident of the Holland society Of New
York. He died a few years ago.

When rundown after hard winter
when life indoors has brought about
a stagnant condition in the circulation
most everyone is filled with uric
acid-especially is this so of people
past middle age. This uric acid in the
blood often causes rheumatism, lumba-
go, swelling of hands and feet, or a
bag-like condition under the eyes.
Backache, frequent urination or the
pains and stiffness of the joints are
also often noticed. DR.. Pierce says that
everyone should have good sweat
every day-should drink plenty of pure
water and exercise in tn opn air as
much as possibl. This helps to throw
out the poisonous uric acid thru the
skin and the water. But for such
