LETTER FROM NEW JERSEY
RINaoEs, Hunterdon Co., n. J.
Anril o2nd 1879

RINGoEs, Hunterdon CO., n. J.
April 22nd, 1872.
Mr.. EDIToE:-You will doubtless be sur
prised to receive a letter from this out-of-
the way corner Of creation, where we ar
rived at six O'Clock on the 10th inst, afte r
leaving your village upon the morning train
going north and making stay of three
hours in Philadeldhia. Learning that
Nillson was giving entertainments at the
Academy, we thought to remain over night
and enjoy the rare treat of hearing the
sweet-voiced little Swede; but alas, for
human expectation ! we learned upon in
quiry that every ticket was gone, not only
for that night, but for the entire course;
SO there was no time to be spent in regrets,
and we hailed street car and reached the
depot in the nick of time.
| had thought to elaborate few incl
dents of the journey for your columns, but
the mail only leaves twice a week. and
what is the use of sending you news a
month old in this fast magnetic age? 1t
won't pay; SO on account of the mail az
engagements, what is to be written must be
written quickly.
This is beautiful country, naturally
fertile, and highly improved. The village
of Ringoes contains about 300 souls, two
churches, two high schools, &c. The
Presbyterian church is presided over by
Rev. Martin Harrison, a man of keen intel
lect, and a fine orator, we should Judge
from discourse we heard him deliver last
Sabbath, from the words: " Ephraim is
cake unturned." By the way, preacher
is no more preacher in New Jersey, but
Dominic, shed is "hovel," and
ga good deal is "quite bit and ''quite
some."
Here are still to be seen houses built
more than century ago, by the old Dutch
settlers.
The farmers hereabouts inform us that
they have fallen out with patent fertilizers,
and fallen in with the old fashioned crop
producer, known as lime. Most of them
have finished sewing oats and are busy get
ting ready for corn; spreading lime and
blowing it in.
Many of the farmers inform MS they have
apples sufficient to do them until apples
shall come again. We have had the pleas
ure of tasting of this delicious fruit since
our arrival here, and can bear testimony
to its fine favor. The offall apples, they
say, make excellent Jersey lightning, ali
article we are not totally unacquainted
with in MY Maryland"
