Young Men's Christian _Association .- The first asso- ciation of this character was organized Sept. 15, 1858, Arthur Potts, president. The present association is its successor.

At the meeting of the Legislature in 1862 the society was incorporated by special act under the title which it now bears. Its object is to provide a home for "friendless or destitute girls under fourteen

and over three years of age, and boys under ten and over three years, until permanent homes can be se- cured for them by adoption or otherwise." The Home was organized in the building on the northwest corner of Grand and Clinton Streets. In 1864 the academy boarding-house building was purchased, and has since been devoted to that purpose. Its cost was about $8700, which was principally obtained from subscriptions. In 1866, from constitution as residuary legatee of Lewis Jennings, a fund of $13,097.77 was secured, the income from which, with the addition of subscriptions, has hitherto been sufficient to meet the annual expenditures.
St. Luke's Home and Hospital .- This institution was formally organized by the adoption of constitution, Nov. 4, 1874. The first board of managers was elected on the 11th of the same month, viz. : Mrs. Haslit Mc- Kim, president; Mrs. Smith Ely, vice-president ; Mrs. John L. Rogers, secretary ; Miss Julia E. Le Roy, treas- urer. Soon after organization a house was leased on Du Bois Street, and has since been occupied. The ob- jeet of the institution is "to provide a home for the aged, the indigent, and the infirm, and a hospital for the sick."
New England Society .- This society was organized February, 1867 (Daniel B. St. John, president), and has since held annual festivals.

CEMETERIES.
The oldest cemetery is that generally known as "The Old Town Cemetery," on Grand Street in the city. It was probably used by the Palatine settlers from the time of the erection on a part of the plot of the first church (the Lutheran). The cemeteries at Middle- hope and Gardnertown are next in the order of time, St. George's the fourth, St. Patrick's the fifth, Big Rock the sixth, Woodlawn the seventh, and Cedar Ilill the eighth. Big Rock has been practically aban- doned and the remains therein removed to Woodlawn, which, though a Newburgh undertaking, is located in New Windsor. St. George's is under the charge of St. George's Episcopal Church, and St. Patrick's is under the charge of St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church. Cedar Hill Cemetery is at North New- burgh.
