Chosen FreehoIders.
The regular meeting of the Board of
Chosen Freeholders was held on Wednes-
day. Other than routine business not
much was done. Some discussion which
occasioned long session was had over
the payment of bills for improvements in
Lambertville. 1t appears that one-fourth
of all the money expended is spent in
that city, and it is thought that much of
this expense should be borne by the city
and not by the county. The special mat
ter in dispute at this meeting was the
building of ''riokrack' or extension to
wing wall of bridge within the city
limits, costing about $500. The Board
adjourned without any definite settle
ment of the matter.
For some time past there has been
dispute between the county and some of
the owners, or at least occupiers, Of lands
on the south side of Court street, oppo-
site the Court House. 1t appears from a
survey made by Stephen G.. Gano and
Oliver II Hoffman, that the deed to the
county for the Court House lot conveyed
an elongated square the northwest point
of which extends into Mr. H. G. Finch's
back yard, the south easteily side-line,
running thence north-easterly through
Mr.. Murpby's marble yard and across
the northwest corner of Mr.. Slater's tin
shop, which is owned by George Gano,
thus enclosing small piece of the lands
of Finch, the most of Murpby's marble
yard and small part of Ganos building
and grounds. The Board propose to ac
cept the sum of $500 and make convey
ances of the interest of the county If de-
sired by the occupants Democrat Id
gertiser.
We have not the facts at hand to dis
prove the assertion of the Democrat-Ad
gertiser that one fourth of all the money
expended by the County is spent in this
city, but we very much doubt If the city
gets its full proportion Of the amount.
Inspection of Company C.
On Thursday evening last, an inspec-
ton of Company & was made at
their Armory in this city, by Col. d. B.
Murphy, of Camden, one of the Inspec-
tors of the State National Guard. At
roll call, forty-three men answered to
their names, and there appeared to be a
number of names of members called that
were absent. The officers Of the Com
pany present were Captain Charles A.
Slack and Lieutenants Nelson Beaumont
and Edward Arnett. There was also pre-
sent, to represent the 7th n. j. Regiment,
Chat Company c is attached to- Captain
Charles II. w. VanSciver and Surgeon
Nelson Oliphant. These officers we're in
full dress uniform. The inspection was
gone through with in true military style.
Each members uniform and accoutre-
ments, together with his general appear
ance, were inspected and noticed. The guns
from the butt-locks, and even the natural
spring of the bayonet, were thoroughly
overhauled aud tested. The inspection
was success. The Company was in full
dress uniform and with their new Prus-
sian hemlet bats, made decidedly
handsome and military appearance. At
ter the inspection. the Company was
quite complmented by the Colonel in
their martial and soldierly appearance.
Captain Slack and Lieutenants Beau
mont and Arnett should certainly feel
well pleased and gratiiled with the
Colouel's remarks, regarding the eff
cheney Of drill and the general neatness
of appearance of Company c, and it may
safely be said that if all of our State
National Guard at their annual inspec
ton, compare as well as Company G, in
all the Requirements that are necessary for
effic lent service, then New Jersey should
we'll be proud of her Volunteer State
National Guard.
