The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1876-02-02
LETTER FROM RING o rs.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Ringoes items have not
often had space in your columns. With your
permission, will endeavor to say something,
if it is not very entertaining.
We are pleasantly situated, about midway
from Lambertville to Pennington, distance
If about six miles from either place. Many
roads converge at this village, makinga pub,
lie thoroughfare to the surrounding towns
and villages, and the P. r. r. running just at
the outskirts of the village accommodates us
to reach the larger cities at an early hour and
return home in due time. Our accommodating
baggage master, the gentlemanly and affable
conductors and pleasing station agent stimu-
late us to repeat our journey with them but
we hope as we approach the old station that
new one may take its place that will at least
compare favorably with our neighboring
towns.
As we pass to and fro to the depot neces-
sity compels us to be cautious where to step
as our plank walk is very much demoralized.
We trust ere you hear from us again new
one may be laid, as such is in interpolation.
While at the station you may notice the fine
residence of Mr.. Lands, (the station AGENT,
having beautiful lawn decorated with fruit
and ornamental trees and some thirty acres of
land in high state OF cultivation. In addi-
tion to this, his lumber yard is full-stocked
with general variety of lumber and his Goa
yard kept filled with the best grades of coal.
These brings many visitors to the spot who
admire the residence and the business facili.
ties.
We now approach the village and pass the
property of DIR. Rowland, farm containing
about seventy five acres, in high state of
cultivation. This present season his corn
yielded at least one hundred bushels per acre.
AS we advance the fine residence of Abram
Wilson attracts our attention, requiring us to
halt and notice with what neatness and taste
his buildings are arranged. and what extremely
large crops his land produces. Now we pass
the Baptist Parsonage and Chapel, very neat
and comfortable. The Chapel is expected to
be replaced by new one. As we advance,
ornamental to any village, but we will pass
them by without description. The residence
Of Doctor Hunt is rather conspicuous. He is
comfortably located along the main road,
where in his younger days he was visited by
many patrons and was well known by all in
this locality.
New buildings are being erected. The Pres
bytcrian Parsonage is nearly completed and is
very fine aud attractive. The Pastor, Mr. Hew.
ett) being somewhat of an architect, has regula-
ted the structure to his own fancy and convent
ence. We doubt If it can be improved.
Another fine dwelling is being erected by Mr..
Jacob Van Marter. 1t will be handsome. A
building was erected last season by Mrs.
Moore which compares favorably with the
best Of them.
Much more can be said regarding our vii
lage but we will defer it until next week.
Lots can be obtained in this place rather
cheap building material is in abundance
the atmosphere is pure and invigorating, we
are social and good natured, always having a
smile at any thing funny and jovial.
Singing school every Wednesday night in
the lecture room. Last Wednesday night,
Cayenne pepper was used on the stove. If
you come up, we guarantee no pepper will be
ment may be returned.
No ice houses have been filed in this sec
ton.
Mr.. Chamberlain Sutphin, near this place,
sold his farm, containing "a acres to Abram
Young, residing near Glover Hill, for So, 700.
Mr. Sutphin is expected to move to this place.
1t is not known how fine a building he pro-
poses to erect OWEN.
