The County Historical Society is
bringing much to light that soon would
have been among the facts that are ir.
retrievably lost. An active member of
that body informs us, that Captain Rich
ard Gearhart, of Revolutionary fame, who
commanded company of our country's
troops, and was detailed with Gen. Daniel
Bray to scour the banks Of the Delaware
River from Coryell's Ferry (now Lambert
ville) to Easton, Pa, to procure boats and
secrete them ready for the crossing of the
river by Washington and his army, the
night previous to the Battle of Trenton,
was buried ia the grave yard of the Pres
byterian Church at Pennington. The
grave is about the middle of the yard,
with a middlc-sized maple tree at the
head Of it; and an unlettered common
field-stone, about two feet high, twenty
inches wide and three inches thick, Is the
only mark Of the last resting place of this
noted hero. Gen. Bray was buried at
Rosemont, and the burial place of Capt.
Jones, the other commandment in this ex-
petition, is still being searched for.

The Clinton Democrat says that at
about noon on Wednesday strange wo-
man entered 7. ID. Wambold's jewelry
store and asked to look at his gold
Watches. She selected one valued at $35
saying that her mother was at Weller's
Hotel and would like to see it before pur-
chasing. So she left. AS she was gone
longer than Mr.. Wambold thought nec-
essary, he became uneasy and went in
search of her. She was not found at the
hotel. He then employed Lawyer Geb-
hardt to aid him and they learned that
she had gone towards Annandale, where
she was found and the watch recovered.
Her mind seemed to be unsettled.

by Whitfield Durham, near Clinton, cIe-
ated big excitement in that quite town
on Thursday last. In the absence of Mr..
Durham, Reed went over to Clinton, got
drunk and commenced to make trouble.
lie was elected from Tomson's Hotel,
and went away swearing vengeance.
Shortly afterward lie returned with a shot
gun and entered the hotel, presumably
for the purpose of letting daylight
through those who had put him out. But
everybody had fled at his approach, and
no killing was done. For a time Reed
had the town in an uproar, and no one
could be found brave enough to arrest
him. In this emergency Constable Ram
sey was telephoned for, and went up on
the first train. He at once arrested the
sanguinary young man, brought him
down to the County Jail, and placed him
under the guardianship Of Sheriff Cor
coran.

-On Monday night, of last week. a
most dastardly assault was made on
Jos. Schafer, German baker employed
by Mr.. N. G. Smith, at the Court Street
bakery, Pennington. Schafer was at
work alone in the akc-shcp, near mid
night, when some one stealthily entered
and gave him blow on the back Of the
head with club or some other weapon
knocking him senseless on the floor. He
remained in this condition until found by
Mr.. Smith, In the morning. A batch Of
bread which he was just placing in the
oven was entirely ruined by being burned
to crisp. The baker was severely cut
in the head, and will probably suffer
some time from the effects Of the blow.
1t is not positively known who perpetra-
ted this outrage, but person with whom
he had some difficulty short time ago is
suspected of being the assailant.-Hum-

An article from a contemporary
claims that "the first peach orchard in
Hunterdon county was set out near Little
York, on the road to Milford, some forty
years ago, by Messrs, Philip MettIer and
William Conner, the former now deceas-
ed. The trees were obtained near New
Brunswick. Easton was the market, and
the peaches were sold by peck and bushel
measures" This may be true, but the
''other townships" are yet to hear from.

While he may not pay for all, there is
no doubt that while he is eating plain
dinner some Are eating their roast beef
and plum pudding, bought with his
money.
While his children are thinly and poor
ly clad, some children wear clothing
thick and warm, bought with his money.
While his wife makes the best of hor

some wives are surrounded with comforts

Gospel Temperance Meetings in Thatch.
er's Hail. every Sunday, at 400 p, NJ.
The temperance meeting Sunday after
noon was presided over by Mr. William
Lauer who with the assistance of Rev.
Mr.. Woolston, conducted the opening ex-
ercises
Mr.. Amos Smith, according to the re-
quest of the meeting week before, pre-
sented his views upon the Excise Board
ordinance, recently adopted by our City
Council. Grave doubts exist 10 the minds
of many as to the constitutionality of the
law giving such power to the Council.
The ordinance itself has many defects.
The Board can not enforce its own rules
excepting as the Council may favor, as it
has no financial power. Its Inspector is
virtually under the control Of the Council.
Taken all in all, it is doubtful if the tenn
perance people have anything to hope
from the ordinance. AS to what they had
best do under all the circumstances, the
speaker did not advise.
Among the other gentlemen present
and participating to greater or less ex-
tent in the discussion as to what had best
be done, were Messrs. j. A. Anderson, /.
P. Smith, Samuel Stockton, DR.. j. Hay
hurst, A. G. Barber, Rev. G. H. Woolston
and l. w. Clevenger. The whole matter
was finally referred to committee Of
five TO report to at some future meeting
called for that purpose.

OUR SENATE.

1t strikes US, with one or two'notable
exceptions, the present State Senate is
the weakest body OF statesmen we have
seen i n a long time. Bigotry. narrow
mindcdness, s~elf-conceit, and ignorance
seem to be the ruling characteristics Of
that august body. They seem, or the
majority of them, only to think Of the
popular. issues, and have no opinions of
their own. Boosting over their superb
GRITTY in numbers is n common thing
with some Of them. We wonder if they
have ever thought that n,agnanimity
could be shown in victory as we'll as the
bearing up bravely under defeat. Vic
tors alone, who know how to use the
success that they have attained, ore
worthy Of that success. It seems to us
that our present set Of Senators are
more like school boys than the dignifed
statesmen they ought to be. Usually
the House Of Representatives is where
the spread-eagle, bragadocio speeches
are made, but this Senate has assumed
that roll, and the House is q model Of
dignitywhen compared with it.
We are sorry to see this and have re-
Trained as long as we we'll can, from
making mention of,it. During the past
week, however, in the discussion Of
several measures, it has been so patent,
that as honest Journalists, we are com
PEELED to remark upon it.

ethical symmetry of Col. Rion's character.
1t were hard to say whether he should be most
praised for his success in civil affairs or for
undimmed brilliancy as IL soldier. The stars
and wreath of brignd;cr general were well
within his grasp. but his largest success in
military life was gained US commander of the
skirmish line.
The power he had in .;rasr;ng large meas
uros, he could apply to even ;he minutiie of
his profession. Profoundly analytical, he was
not wanting in the synthctical faculty. In
deed, it seemed that he separated aud
subdiridcd his facts in order to establish the
harmonious unity of u great argument, to the
level of which he always rose:

.CHAkLESTON'S EARTHQUAKE
BILL.

We have rs much love for our me-
tropolis as any one can have, and think
that she is entitled to much considera-
ton ut the hands Of our Legislature.
We are glad on this account that the
Earthquake bill has passed the House,
but do not believe that those who op-
pose it ought to be stigmatized as oppo-
nents of all low-country legislation.
We rather think there is a great deal o
force in the objections they urged, and
believe. that the precedent is n bad one.
1t ought to be distinctly understood
right now that this measure is not meant
az n precedent. When It'll remembered
that the assessment made last January
on the property was the first made in
two years, and the owners thereof had
enjoyed the peaceable use and possession
of their property for that length Of time,
we submit that it does look reasonable
that they should pay the full amount of
taxes On the same. Their relief will
com with the next assessment. There
is no doubt of the fact that the assess
ment was true Mt the time it was made,
and it is equally truc that the owners
enjoyed the peaceful possession and oc-
cupation of it, to within two months Of
the time when the taxes were due. AS
we said, We are glad the bill has passed
but do not think it is fair for newspapers
to attribute opposition to it to sectional
feeling. This thing continued will en-
gender bitterness, and The sooner i. is
dropped the better.
