every house along the river from Cherry Hill to
River Edge was damaged to some extent. Many

sided seal in 1869 it has not been used at all,
and after the change of the seal il is at pres
ent the reverse not even cut.
The explanation of the different portions OF
the seal, according to the reports TO Congress
aud the investigations at the State Depart
Inent, is as follows: The stripes represent the
several States all Joined in one solid compact
the motto refers 10 this union; the colors are
those used in the flag of the United States
white. signifies purity and innocence; red,
hardness and valor; blue is the ground of the
American uniform, and this color signifies
vigilance, perseverance and Justice"
The olive branch and arrows denote the
power of peace and war. which is exclusively
invested in Congress; the constellation denotes
a new State, taking its place aud rank among
other sovereign powers; the escutcheon is born
on the breast of an American eagle without any
other supporters. TO denote that the United
States ought to rely their own virtue. In
the reverse the pyramid signifies strength and
duration; the eye over it and the motto refer to
many signal interpretations of Providence in
favor OF the American cause. This seal was
first found on commission dated Sept Is,
1882, granting full power and authority to Gen.
Washington to arrange with the British for the
exchange of prisoners Of war.

The INSTRUMENT.

The second seal was cut in 1871, Daniel Web.
ster being Secretary of State. This seal, which
continued 10 use up to 1885, contained only six
arrows and it was smaller than the present
seal. The seal now in use was cut in 1885, after
the design had been submitted by the Depart
ment of State to several historical scholars and
authorities on heraldry, and had been approved
by them.
According to the act Of Congress, the Score.
tary of State is the custodian of the seal, but
for every impression Mr.. Bartle makes, he
must have a warrant from the President for SO
doing. As the duties Of the Government have
expanded, it has been found impracticable TO
use tue Great Seal on the commissions of off,

commissions of Postmasters are made out un-
der the seal of the Postofice Department; the
commissions OF officers Of the Interior Depart
r3ent are under the seal of that Departm en- t.

States Attorneys are appointed under the seal
Of the Department of Justice,
