THE TOWN OF EAST CHESTER.

The chalices are inscribed as follows: -- ist. " The gift of Frederick Van Cortlandt, St. Paul's Chtirch, Eastc luster, A. D. 1829." 2d and 3d, marked " A. S."a 4th, " St. Paul's Church, Eastchester, N. K, from Mrs. John Quincy Adams, 1829." This chalice is not only rendered valuable by the distinguished lady who gave it, but by the melancholy story associated therewith. b

In the old church book, occurs the following memorandum: -- "'To cash paid the Rev. Mr. Cooper, to buy a communion cup, jQi 15J id, March iSth, 1793." Upon the Church Green, between the ancient locust trees and burial ground, formerly stood the old church, built by the town in 1692. This edifice, constructed of wood, was destroyed by fire at an early period of the Revolutionary War.

The church yard which lies on the south and west side of the church, is one of the most extensive in the country.
