The location is, perhaps, the most desirable that could be selected for the purposes of education in this vicinity. The site is half a mile from the village landing, and about twenty-five miles distant from New York, with which there is daily communication. The edifice is a commodious brick building with wings, and a large rear building for the school. The grounds embrace several acres, affording abundant opportunity for healthy sports, and are quite retired from the village. On the opposite side of Pocantico street is the Irving Institute formerly kept by D. S. Rowe, A. M., now under the charge of his son-in-law, A. Armagnac, A. M., as principal, aad D. A. Rowe, his

son, as vice-principal. It is a classical and commercial boarding school.

The buildings are well situated on high ground commanding a fine view ; the grounds are ample and attractive. The school is limited in number and family in its character, its discipline is good, and its training moral and physical well attended to.

Christ church, Tarrytown, is a neat Gothic edifice of brick, pleasantly located in the main street.

This church was erected in 1836, and consecrated to the service of Almighty God by the name and style of Christ's church Tarrytown, September, 1837. The whole structure is valued at $8,000.
