HISTORICAL SOCIETIES' NOTES TARRYTOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY Through the gift of Mrs. Worcester Warren of Wilson Park, the Tarrytown Historical Society has acquired a Benjamin Franklin printed version of an Indian treaty executed in Philadelphia in 1742.

OSSINING HISTORICAL SOCIETY A meeting of the Ossining Historical Society was held at the Washington School on May 6. Two papers were read: one by Mrs. Seth G. Ellegood, entitled Christ Child Day Nursery and Bethany Home; the other by the Reverend Robert T. Taylor, entitled The Millionaire Dutchman. The Story of Frederick Philipse. The restoration of the Sparta Burying Ground, which is being done under the direction of the society, is progressing nicely. The clean-up work is practically completed and the entrances have been repaired and improved. There is still much to be done, however. The work is wholly dependent upon individual contributions to the restoration fund. The first issue of The Museum Intelligencer, edited by Mrs. Lawrence D. Redway who is also curator of the museum, was published on May 6, 1940. This paper will probably be printed once a year to cover the activities of the society and the museum.
