NE of the most interesting families of the east end of Long Island is that of the Potters of Orient, who have been styled "a family of captains," by reason of their having turned out some well known mariners, all of whom, with one exception, have commanded vessels. Captain Joseph Potter, commander of the new five masted schooner Louise B. Crary, is the son of Captain William Potter of Brooklyn, who is sire of the "captain family." Captain William is now retired, but during his day has had many experiences of note. He built the famous schooner Lucinda G. Potter, which was abandoned at sea some years ago, and later picked up, towed into Philadelphia, and is now a coaster clipper.

Captain William H. Potter, before taking command of the Louise B. Crary, was commander of the Stella B. Kaplan of Greenport, which was owned principally by the Potter family. His new vessel is now 250 feet on the keel, 46 feet beam and 21 feet deep.

Her masts are 115 feet long. The vessel's gross tonnage is 2,231 and the net tonnage 1,998. and substituting for them "an unhandsome face." When the Dutch officers and soldiers arrived on the scene to arrest the party, they found one house built and another in course of erection. Six of the party, among whom was Job Sayre, son of Thomas Sayre, were arrested and brought before the Dutch Governor for examination and shortly after were discharged upon condition that they leave the territory and never return except upon consent. Thus ended, it is believed, what was the first attempt to make an English settlement on the west end of Long Island.

The Sayre SAYRE HOMESTEAD, party then went to the east end of the island and, according to the old dates, landed at Southampton in June, 1640, which is settled upon as the date of the first settlement of the town. Before leaving Lynn the company obtained a grant from James Farret, agent for the Earl of Stirling, who at that time was the proprietor of Long Island under grant from the Plymouth colony. Under that agreement any dispute that might arise was to he referred to the Right Hon. John Win throp. Governor of Massachusetts Bay.

The grant from Farret is still in existence and is commonly called "Farret's patent." It covers eight square miles of land, with rivers, bays and harbors. After making the settlement under the English grant, the settlers 1 are are T. preciation which the congregation feels for the good work which Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt have accomplished.

The Rev. Mr. Wyatt has been pastor of the Methodist Church for three years, and the church has flourished under his pastorate. MILLER LAPSLEY. Araityville.

L. April 6 The marriage of William H. Miller of Railway, N. and Miss Janet L. Lapsley, eldest daughter of Captain Claude Lapsley of the steamer Czarina, is announced.

The ceremony was performed March 31 by the Rev. E. S. Wright of Simpson Church. The couple will reside in Manhattan.

She can carry 3.700 tons of coal. The main masts are 28 inches in diameter, while the foremast is "0 inches in diameter. Beside two full dec'ts there is a poop deck. There over 200 of Z' fe inch anchor chain and four anchors, the combined weight of which is nearly six tons. The vessel is supplied with all modern conveniences, with patent steerer, steam windlasses, wrecking pumps and other improvements.

The cabins elegantly fitted up and are heated by steam during the winter. The vessel, which cost $100,000, was named after the wife of B. Crary, a prominent merchant of Bing hamton. N. who is interested in the vessel.

Captain Potter being the principal owner. The Crary was built at Bath, and was christened by Mrs. Crary with American Beauty roses last November. Other sons of Captain William are Captain Edward, who commands the Havens; Captain William, who had charge of the Randall, and George, now of Patchogue, who was assistant keeper of the New London lighthouse years ago. Captain Charles Potter, a brother of Captain William, is also included in the captain family.

bought from the Indians on December 13, 1640. Some of the early settlers of Southampton were part of the colony that first inhabited Easthampton Town and Smithtown, Richard Smith of the early Southampton colony being the famous "Bull Smith." founder of Smithtown, and Richard Woodhull and Richard Odell. who appear as founders of the Brookhaven Town, were also members of the first settlement of Southampton Town. Considerable rivalry exists between Southampton and Southold as to which is the oldest town of Suffolk County, and it is admitted SOUTHAMPTON. that Southold slightly antedates Southampton.

Thomas Sayre was a native of Bedfordshire, England. In 1630 he and his son Job, who was one of the six arrested at the Cow Bay failure, were allotted 60 acres of land at Lynn, Mass. Thomas Sayre was the founder of the name that has become one of the leading families of the town. The Sayre family arms are as handed down by tradition; Gules, a chevron ermine between three sea gulls argent; crest, a cubit arm' erect, holding a dragon's head erased argent. Motto: Sale and doe.

The plot on which the house stands and the house have continued in possession of the Sayre family to the present day. of front entrance will be a cloak room for ladies; on the other side a smoking room for men. Above them will be a reception room. This upper room will be separated from the auditorium by a partition of glass, which can be raised at will, converting the room into a gallery to the hall, if needed. Other galleries will run along either side.

A veranda 20 feet wide extends entirely across the front of the building, which will be inclosed in glass and made a sun parlor in winter. The building will be in Queen Anne style, and situated on Farrington street, half a block from State street, where the Institute now stands, on the corner of State and Farrington streets. William Steinmann of Brooklyn is the architect. He was a classmate of Professor Kyles in Germany, when both were boys. He will also superintend the building.

HE oldest English house on Long Isl and.

and probably the oldest frame building in existence in New York State, is the Sayre homestead, on Main street, Southampton. The old house is in as good preservation to day as when built, and does not show the signs of decay that might be expected of a wooden building that has passed through four centuries. The homestead was built by Thomas Sayre in 1643 and is the only remaining relic of the settlement of Southampton colony. The house is about 25 feet long and 20 feet in width, with a long sloping roof, on which are some of the original shingles. Many of the original hand hewn shingles on the sides of the house are still pointed out to interested sightseers.

The house contains four large rooms downstairs and three rooms on the upper floor. The old fireplaces in the sitting and dining rooms are untouched and the baking oven in the kitchen is in the same position as when the sturdy settlers gathered around the festive Sayre board. The ceilings are low', iu accordance with the tastes of the seventeenth century. Massive beams, bound together with large wooden legs, are run throughout the house. The house now stands at the rear of a modern business block, recently erected, and it is understood that some progressive Southampton citizen will move the house from its present hiding place and place it on a more open spot, where it shall Le one of the town's show spots.

Thomas Sayre. the original owner and builder xf the house, was one of the original undertakers who settled the town in the early part of the year 1639. Sayre, in company with his companions, Edmond Farring ton, Edward Howell, Josias Stanborough, Edmond Nedman, Daniel How, Job Sayre, George Welbee, Henry Walton, Thomas Hal sey, Allen Bread and William Harker, formed a company at the Town of Lynn, for the purpose of founding a colony on the Long Island shore, purchased a vessel and sailed from Lynn, about March 10, 1639. Before sailing they entered into an agreement, which was divided into three parts, known as "the disposall of the vessell," "agreement of undertakers," and "a declaration of the company." Under terms of this agreement each man's right to the soil was fully expressed and the whole agreement is an interesting document. Later, more names were added to the original agreement.

The next heard of the party is May, 1639, when the partv went ashore at the west end of the island, near Cow Bay, in the present Town of North Hempstead. The Dutch Governor having heard of their arrival, ordered their arrest as "strollers and vagabonds," trespassing upon the territory of their high mightinesses, adding insult to injury by tearing down the arms of the Prince of Orange FREEPORT FIRE DEPARTMENT.
