or Spirit; who kept about the wildest recesses of the Catskill

Mountains; and took a mischievous pleasure in wreaking all kinds of

evils and vexations upon the red men。 Sometimes he would assume the

form of a bear; a panther; or a deer; lead the bewildered hunter a

weary chase through tangled forests and among ragged rocks; and then

spring off with a loud ho! ho! leaving him aghast on the brink of a

beetling precipice or raging torrent。

  The favorite abode of this Manitou is still shown。 It is a great

rock or cliff on the loneliest part of the mountains; and; from the

flowering vines which clamber about it; and the wild flowers which

abound in its neighborhood; is known by the name of Garden Rock。

Near the foot of it is a small lake; the haunt of the solitary

bittern; with water…snakes basking in the sun on the leaves of the

pond…lilies which lie on the surface。 This place was held in great awe

by the Indians; insomuch that the boldest hunter would not pursue

his game within its precincts。 Once upon a time; however; a hunter who

had lost his way; penetrated to the garden rock; where he beheld a

number of gourds placed in the crotches of trees。 One of these he

seized and made off with it; but in the hurry of his retreat he let it

fall among the rocks; when a great stream gushed forth; which washed

him away and swept him down precipices; where he was dashed to pieces;

and the stream made its way to the Hudson; and continues to flow to

the present day; being the identical stream known by the name of the

Kaaters…kill。





                        THE END
