GEAERlL 4. s. DIrEy TO BE PRESENT.
THE son OF a HERO or THE BATTLE OF TREN-
TON To BE 4 GUEST At THE DINNER OF THE
SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

THE son OF a HERO OF THE BATTLE OF TREN-
TON To BE A GUEST At THE DINNER OF THE
SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
ar,onq the members OF the New-York Society Of
the Sons OF the American Revolution who will at
tend the dinner in this city on December lG is
General A. s. Dven OF Elmira. who is one or the
few men now surviving who can claim 10 he the
son Of n soldier Of the American Revolution. Gem
eral Diven Is possibly the oldest member OF the
society. being now eghty-hvc. and he postpones his
winter trip to Florida in order TO take part in the
celebration OF December l6. Another son OF a
soldier OF the Revolution Is Elbridge G. Sparlding
n member Of the c. A. r.. living in Buffalo.
General Dvens father OF the young men
who volunteered from the State OF Pennsylvania,
early In the war. He at the battle OF Tren-
ton which many writer's regard as the turning point
I'm the American Revolution. His son has heard
him tell among many anecdotes OF army life, that
he was one OF n guard placed over the Hesslan
prisoners captured at Trenton The prisoners could
speak no English Only one Of the guard could
speak Hessan. and that one Informed the iiessans
in n sprit OF mischief. that they might all be shot
in the morning The lamentations OF the prisoners
great. ,, ...-.
Another statement which General Diven remem-
bnrs is 10 the credit OF the enemy. After the
evacuation OF Princeton his father was among the
respected the property Of the college but the Amer-
can troops made sad havoc there They melted np
the organ pipes for bullets and otherwise wrought
considerable destruction. This differs from the ac-
counts historians who attributed an 'ne
damage TO the enemy but the facts are fully sub
stantiated by General DIven's father.
The most gloomy picture af the experience OF
the soldier Diven was the winter encampment NJ
Valley Forge. The destitution at that camp was
scarcely paralleled even by any experience or the
Civil War The cold was Intense the soldiers were
In rags. and their feet were bare To Keep their
rags together they exhausted their stock OF needles
and pins and resorted also to thorns. In this con-
dition they were reviewed by Washington. whose
emotion was manifest as he contemplated their
forlorn condition. Some OF the volunteers had de-
cidcd the night before not to re-ensf. but they
were so moved by the presence OF the General that
when ordered to signify their willingness to re-en-
lief they were the first to advance to the 'front.'.
The American Revolution seems 10 many or the
tant past It's principles are. however. immortal:
its influence is felt today and the "reminiscences OF
men like General Diven show. after all. that the
present generation IS in actual touch with the men
who fought the War Of Independence and estab-
iiehel the Constitution.
