AT the time that attention is being
called to the centennial of the death
of Washington, it may interest the
readers of THE RECORD to know that
modest monument in the graveyard
connected with the Presbyterian
Church in Lambertyille marks the
resting place of George Coryell, who
died here IN 1850, who was fellow
member with General Washington in
the Masonic lodge at Alexandria, and,
as stated ON the monument, "the last
survivor of the six men who laid the
Father of his country in his tomb. "
Lest some one question the historical
accuracy of the last statement, it
should be mentioned that as member
of the lodge, Mr., Coryell was called
on to take the place of one of the six
pail bearers selected, who was taken ill.

Mrs. II. NJ. Dilts and Miss Kate
Stout, of this city, met with what
might have been fatal accident on
Saturday evening last. The two ladies
had been to Philadelphia and were
waiting at the Broad street station to
take the late train home. The gate
leading to the Belvidere train was
crowded with waiting passengers, and
to avoid this crowd the two entered
another gate and boarded, az they
supposed, their homeward bound train.
After the train had started they were
surprised to hear the conductor come
in and announce that the next stop
was Baltimore. They became greatly
excited over their mistake, and arising
from their seats walked out on the car
steps and jumped from the moving
train, which WAS running at pretty
good speed. Both ladies we're thrown
violently to the station platform and
received severe bruises about the
head They were brought home on
the train by friends from here and
have been confined to their beds ever
since, suffering from injuries and ner-
vous prostration.

Fire nj sand Brook.

At an early hour on Thursday morn
ing last, the store of Andrew r..
Bearder, at Sand Brook, was diseov-
cred to be on fire. The fire had gained
such Roadway TINT it was impossible
to save anything The post office was
located in the store and all the mail
matter was destroyed.
Report states that the place had been
we'll kerosened. Stories of all kinds
may be heard as in the case of the
Three Bridges scare, but beyond the
fact that the building had undoubt-
eddy been set on fire by an incendiary,
little that is of reliable nature enough
to publish can be learned.
1t seems high time that some united
effort should be made to find out who
is setting buildings on fire Soon the
insurance companies will begin to
cancel their policies and raise the rate
Of insurance, and thus a whole com
munity will suffer.
Thousands of dollars have been de-
stroyed within month in Hunterdon
county that can undoubtedly be traced
to the hands of incendiaries, and no
one is yet apprehended.
The loss on Bearder's store is stated
at $4,000. There was an insurance OF
$1,000 on the building, and $4,000 on

The amounts contributed in cash at various
times to the United States Christian Commits
sion have amounted to $3.50
In the special efforts for raising both funds
and hospital stores, much valuable aid has
been received from the farmers and others
in the surrounding country and villages on
both sides of the river, and, although there is
no feasible method of publicly acknowledging
these various sources of supply the Society
have duly appreciated their Importance, and
the interest felt in the cause by the persons
contributing. In making these special eff
forts, raids have been made by the ladies
in different directions upon the surrounding
neighborhood, more or less extensive, accord.
ing to the nature of the case, and, although
some persons are found who are not vet awake
to the Importance of this work, yet these calls
are usually responded to literally, and the

evidences of the interest felt in our suffering
