A Revolutionary Incident.

1
At a recent meeting of the Hunterdon
County Historical Society, a committee
was appointed to examine The grave Of
Lieutenant Geary, British officer who
was killed in q skirmish on the road be-
tween Ringoes and Copper Hill, In the
war of the Revolution, about the time the
British army lay at Princeton and Tren-
ton in 1777. At that time the Tories had
Informed the British that lot of guns and
| ammunition were being gathered and stored
at Huuterdon Court House, now Fleming
ton. Lieut.. Geary was sent with num-
Der OF mounted men, who destroyed these
guns and other munitions of war and
were returning to their quarters when the
citizen soldiery Of the neighborhood, who
had armed themselves, attacked them near
the place of this grave. At the opening
fire Lieut.. Geary fell from his horse dead
| and his command at once retreated. His
body was buried in this grave near the
spot where he fell.
Many reports all these years went the
rounds, till the present generation ques-
toned 1t and thought il only good story,
we'll told.
In order to ascertain the facts Of the
tradition, the Society appointed DR.. Geo.
Fl. Larson, of Lambertville County Su-
perintendent A. n. Heath, of Locktown,
and Elias Vosseller, Esq, of Pennington,
as their committee, to examine the grave
and report at their next meeting, in Lam
bertville, June 18TH sia nuiN
This committee fixed Monday, May IS,
at 10 A. NJ, as the time to open this grave
and note the contents. At the time APP
pointed there were present with the com
mittee A. l.. Case, Esq, on whose land
the grave was found, Theo. Bells, DR..
w. Fl. Bartles, j. l.. Comet, Esq, and
Mrs. yosseller, of Pennington Jacob
Servis, ESQ.,, of Lambertville; Henry K.
Bodine, of Locktown, and Miss Flora
Case, John and Charles Case, VIM. Lewis
and Bloomfield Burd, of the neighbor-
hood. The grave was opened to the
depth of about p feet where the thigh
and other bones were found and the silver
buttons from bis vest bearing the figure
10 and letters @. D., dhe 18th kegt. OF
the Queens Dragoons) Other pieces Of
bones were found, far gone in decomposi-
| ton, and nearly all his teeth. Some bits
of cloth were found with embroidery.
He had been buried lying on his right
side, with face 10 the South (; and as no
ball was found in the skull, that is evil
dence that the ball that tradition says en-
tered his forehead, passed entirely through.
These relics OF Lieut.. Geary will be put
in charge of Mr.. Vosseller, who is the
Custodian Of the Society.
The red coat, epaulettes, cap and sword
were taken from him before burial and
divided among the viciors. If any per-
son yet knows the whereabouts OF any of
these spoils, they would do. well to in
form any member of the County Histori
cal Society. k4 Ha ~

Inspection of Co. 9. sth Regiment.


The annual inspection aud muster OF
Company q, occurred at the armory on
Wednesday evening last. Colonel Daniel
P. Murphy, Brigade Inspector, was pres
ent and performed that duty.
Inspection Is one Of the most important
events Of the year, as every man must be
present or strictly accounted for; his
clothing must be clean and in perfect or
der and also the accoutremeuts. There
was fair representation out and the in
spection was creditable. The maneuvers
and manual of arms were better than at
last inspection and showed marked Inn
provement.
Colonel Murphy has been visiting this
city for the past twenty years as inspect
ing officer, most of the time making two
inspections each year. He 10 a strict
disciplinarian and attends to his duty from
a military standpoint, without fear or
favor. Should he find it necessary to con-
denim or disapprove, he does 1t so that
there is no Misunderstanding about the
matter, and, on the other hand, when
from excellence of appearance and eff
cheney in the manual, he fuds an oppor-
tunity for compliment, it is done with as
much vim as in the other case. Socia lily,
Col. Murphy is genial gentleman and
tells many good stories In connection with
his twenty years. experience as inspecting
officer.
Adiutant Van Solver was present and
showed great interest In the ceremonies !;
in fact, there have been but few inspec-
tons of Company G, at which the Adju-
tant has not been present, aud Col. MUIR
ply remarked, that che was always sure
to find one person, at least, outside the Of
ficers of the Company, to give him cor
dial welcome. He also said he had made
many warm friends in this city, who al
ways made 1t pleasant for him whenever
his duties called him here.
Captain Charles A. Reid, the Inspector
of Rife Practice, has proven himself to be
faithful officer and works at all times
for the interests OF those who strive to
win marksmen's badges. He has visited
each command and presented personally
the badges won during the past season
and hopes to have a greater number to
present after the close OF the coming
season.
Colonel Skirm has made no mistake in
the selection of his Staff, and the rapid
progress made since his promotion is due
to the example set by himself to do with
his might whatever Is required for the
benefit Of his command, followed by the
same determination by those under him
not only of the Field and Staff, but every
officer and enlisted man on down the line.
He has spared neither time nor expense to
bring the Seventh up to its present stand
ard and the results In the future must be
Of a satisfactory nature.
CAPT. C. A. Reid, Inspector OF Rifle
Practice, was present for the purpose Of
presenting the badges won during the past
season. He delegated his power to Col.
Murphy, who in complimentary speech
performed the pleasant task.
