. A history of old Kinderhook from aboriginal days to the present time;. John Bray in 1862, whoin turn conveyed it in 1878 to Mr. William V. S. Beekman,whose daughters are now in possession. This is the onlyhouse here in which an old-time bed-zink may still be seen. It was said by Southey, we think, that no house is per-fectly furnished in which there is not a child rising threeyears and a kitten rising three weeks. As regards the firstitem, at least, the Pruyn homestead was so often perfectlyfurnished that we deem it not inappropriate to end oursketch of it with the charming jingle sung there
