THE LOST BIBLE FOUND.

Most Of our readers have seen historical
notices OF the miforlunes of the family of
the Rev. Mr. Caldwell of New Jersey, in
the revolutionary war. Mr.. G. was pastor
Of the presbyterian church al Elizabethtown
and like most of the clergy of helt church.
at that time, was a jealous whfg. His ac-
uvity against the British, made him mark
for their vengeance, and in one of their fire.
quent incnrsons into that neighborhood,
when he was from home. company of
soldiers surrounded his dwelling, and one
of them deliberately leyelled his musket at
Mrs. Caldwell, while on her knees at pray
er, and fired, killing her instantly. The
party then retreated, carrying OFF several ar
licles OF p,ouder, and among them Mr.
Caldwen's family bible. Not long ago,and
more than sixty years after the event We
have been recording, an old woman living
on Long Island, called on one of the grand
children Of Mr.. Caldwell, at MorrstowE,
N. ]. and presented this Identical bible,con.
tanning the family record as made by Mr..
g. in his own hand wrling-then the
record as made by the soldier who stole ii;
aud various memorands by subsequent pos
SCISSORS.
