From the last report of the Executive Committee it appears that dur- 

 ing 1876, an average of twenty-one patients had been constantly cared 

 for in the institution ; and during the month of November, this average 

 had been maintained at twenty-five. Permits are given daily by the 

 Committee on admissions, and a full capacity of forty inmates will soon 

 be taxed to its utmost by the many applications for admission. Weekly 

 services are held here every Wednesday at 3:30 P. M. 



The Haarlem river (Muscoota,) which forms the western boundary of 

 the town, is one of the sweetest streams that ever gave a charm to land- 

 scape. On the Westchester shore high woods cover the sides of undul- 

 ating hills, while here and there rich meadows form a gradual and beau- 

 tiful descent to the water's edge. The opposite banks are abruptly 

 terminated with rocky declivities, and present by their greater boldness 

 a fine contrast. These waters afford an agreeable haunt to the king 

 fisher, "the most celebrated and besung of all other birds," says Aldro- 

 vand, likewise to the heron and fish hawk.
