Our country's flag ! To thee are pledged, Our lives, our honor, all ! Our faith, our hopes, Shall ne'er deny The magic of thy call.

THE OLD BARRACKS AT TRENTON.
T's the activity and patriotism of the late Wilbur Fisk Sadler, Junior, Adjutant General of the State of New Jersey and a member of the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New Jersey, is, in large measure, due the recla- mation and restoration of the old Barracks. To the people of New Jersey and the patriotic societies of that State this monu- ment of Colonial days has value immeasurable. To us, his associates in the Society, the Barracks will be a lasting reminder of a man whose like is seldom met. It is in this building that the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New Jersey has its headquarters.
The following sketch of the old Barracks was written by General Sadler a few years before his death :
During the latter part of 1753, France and England, taking advantage of the undetermined condition of their territorial limits in America, began to adopt active and systematic meas- ures for increasing their possessions as much as possible. To uphold their claims to the country on the Ohio, the French erected forts on French Creek and the main stream of the Alleghany. Great Britain also claimed this territory, and authorized Dunwoodie to repel French aggression and build a fort at the confluence of the Alleghany and Monongahela Riv- ers. In April, 1754, this party was driven away by the French, who took possession of the unfinished works, completed them and named the fortification "Duquesne." This and several other occurrences gave the signal for hostilities, although the war, which lasted until 1763, was not formally proclaimed until 1756.
From the commencement of hostilities in 1754, the Prov- ince of New Jersey was in a constant state of apprehension of an attack by hostile Indians, and many accounts of their scalp- ing and murdering within its borders were reported to the Governor.

During 1755, numerous petitions were filed by the in- habitants, asking that barracks be erected for the purpose of housing the troops that had been sent to the Province by the English. These troops were quartered with various residents of the State at two shillings and five pence per week for each soldier, and the mode of lodging had become most annoying to the people because the habits and morals of the soldiers were not of the best.
The near approach at times of the stealthy foe, the letters received in Trenton giving notice of the murder of men in Sussex County by the savages, made the demand more insistent that arrangements should be made for future protection. In the winter of 1755, a petition was filed with the General As- sembly, signed by residents of various sections that felt the need of protection, and in quick order followed thirty-eight additional petitions.
In February, 1756, Governor Belcher was petitioned by the most prominent men of the State, but it was not until the 15th of April, 1758, that a law was passed by the Council and Gen- eral Assembly to provide for the erection of five barracks within the State, to be located at Perth Amboy, Elizabethtown, New Brunswick, Trenton, and Burlington. These buildings were shortly erected by the Colonists, and it was planned that each should house between 300 and 500 troops.
Trenton, being the most centrally located town of the State, and one of the most important posts, had an officers' quarters added to its Barracks during 1759. Much to the regret of all patriotic citizens, all of these buildings have been demolished except at Trenton, where the Barracks is being restored to its original condition by the State of New Jersey.
The building is of stone, two stories in height, with base- ment, located at the corner of South Willow and Front Streets and within 300 feet of the Capitol Building. The site was well chosen near the banks of the Delaware and was within 100 feet of Petty's Run, which was filled with pure, sparkling water. The main building is 180 feet in length and 181/2 feet in width,

with two wings, each 56 feet in length, at either end thereof and projecting at right angles from the front of the Barracks. The officers' quarters were built at the end of the northeasterly wing.
The first authentic record of the occupation of the Barracks shows that a regiment of Highlanders, on the second of Octo- ber, 1759, were quartered there, and their peculiar dress created much interest among the people of the town. It was occupied almost continually by troops until 1765, at which time the atten- tion of the General Assembly was called to the fact that the perishable articles therein should be sold and the building kept in repair and rented. Within a year after the Assembly took action, it was necessary to refit the building again and furnish it with bedding, blankets, and other necessaries.
During the Revolutionary War the Barracks was occupied at various times by companies of British and Hessian troops and recruits for the American army. For two weeks prior to the battle of Trenton it was occupied by English Dragoons and German Yeagers, together with a number of Tory refugees from Monmouth and Burlington Counties. It continued until the end of the war as a place for quartering the soldiers of either army who happened to be in possession of the sur- rounding territory.
In 1787 the building was sold and divided into apartments, and in 1793, Front Street, to a width of 35 feet, was extended from Willow Street to the State Capitol, passing directly through the Barracks, a portion of which was razed for its accommodation, parallel and quite close to the north wing.

TABLETS ERECTED BY THE SOCIETY OF COLONIAL WARS IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY.
T HE purposes for which the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New Jersey exists are stated in the Pre- amble of its Constitution. As one means of perpetuating the memory of important persons and events of Colonial history, the Society has adopted the plan of erecting tablets commemorative of persons, sites, and events.
Between the years 1910 and 1916 four tablets were erected by the Society : those marking the site of the first court house of Somerset County, at Six Mile Run, and the site of the second court house of Somerset County, at Hillsborough; that commemorative of the settlement of Elizabeth Towne; and that in memory of Hendrick Fisher, President of the first Board of Trustees of Queen's College, now Rutgers College. The two Somerset County tablets and the Hendrick Fisher tablet are the work of Albert Weinert; the Elizabeth Towne tablet is the work of John Williams, Inc. Photographs of these tablets and some account of the objects, events, and persons they com- memorate were included in the 1917 Book of the Society. Plans for further work of this nature are in process of development.
