night of April 21, 1779, his wife was aroused by a noise as of some one trying to get into the lower part of the mill, where, for better security, he kept bis horses. "Yawntan," said she in Dutch, " somebody is stealing your horses." Lighting a lantern, he threw open the upper half-door and challenged the marauders. Instantly a shot was fired through the lower balf-door, wounding him in tbe abdomen. He stag- gered back into the house and fell upon a bed, covering himself up in the blankets. A party of Tories, masked and disguised, rushed in, and, compelling his young wife to hold a candle, they savagely attacked the prostrate form. Once he seized one of the bayonets and holding it for a moment, cried at his assailant : " An- dries, this is an old grudge." With redoubled fury the inhuman savages repeatedly bayoneted him, until with a groan he expired. His two infant children, who were wont to sleep in a trundle-bed beneath liis, were horrified spectators of their fatber's massacre. After the murderers were gone, his wife and a neighbor took the blood out of the bed in double handfuls. The murdered man had received nineteen or twenty cruel bayonet thrusts. It was believed that some neighbor bad led the Tories to the attack, less from political or pecuniary considera- tions than from motives of private revenge. Hopper was a captain in tbe Bergen county militia.1 One of his children was Albert, bap. Oct. 6, 1776. It is said that Jonathan's children removed to Cincinnati, and there attained to some prominence.

The frame tavern building was sold and removed to Haledon, wbere it was occupied for many years as a hostelry by the late William K. Thompson.
1 The foregoing account of this horrid.affair was obtained principally from the late ex-Judge Henry P. Simmons, of Passaic, whose motber, a child at the time, was in the room and saw the murder. A letter in the New-Jersey Gazette of May 12, 1779, describing the murder, speaks of Captain Jonathan Hopper as "a brave and spirited officer of the militia of Bergen county." It adds that one of his assailants, Stephen Rider, had formerly been one of lus neighbors.
