A PLEASANT RfDE.-~On Thursday after
noon the LIST inst, Mr.. j. L. Weber, of Rim
goes, called to take the editor OF THE RECORD
on q trip through the country. A fine span
of horses. a handsome carriage and pleasant
ride were not to be resisted, so we surrender
ed without conditions. Capt. John Horn
and Major N. v. Young were also taken along
as body-guard, and with Major and Cap
tain, the forces tone private soldier of the
home guards) were we'll man@uvred. We
passed up the river road until we came to the
village Of Stockton, from thence crossing the
country by way of Headquarters to Rihgoes
and thence back to Lambertville. We rode past
fertile farms with waving grain and fragrant
grass, with the green corn peeping above the
brown earth, and orchards full of promise of
fruitage, and asked ourself Who wouldn't be
farmer9 We unanimously agreed that zoe
wouldn't object provided we didn't have to
do the little chores. such as blowing and
hoeing, reaping and moving, etc. The Capt.
| inquired the value of some farms along the
route and appeared to be inclined to buy one
provided he could bring it to Lambertvie,
while the /" Major" like Wall Street brok-
err kept talking of corners" but his were
inoffensive ones that indicate the line of va
rious farms. The Major has surveyed on al
most every farm in this section, and knows
all the corners. If like Robinson Crusoe, he
were monarch of all he'd surveyed, he would
have big farm.
In entering Ringoes we were struck with
the peculiar appearance Of the board walk
leading to the station. The boards were on
edge, crpsswise, and every other way but the
right way. tn SO neat village as Ringoes
the people ought to have little more pride
than to let so necessary a convenience become
SO dilapidated
We stopped for half hour at the establish
ment of Messrs. j. L. Weber & Bro, In Rim
goes. These gentlemen have the most extern
sivc carriage works of any in this section. 1t
is surprising that so large business should
hare been built up In a small inland village.
They employ constantly from eighteen to
twenty-five hands, and turn out as handsome
work as any Of the crack establishments in the
cities, and IN all probability 1t is much thore
durable, being made tinder their personal SUI
pervision, of the best seasoned materials.
We saw about twenty carriage bodies ready
to be fitted up and placed on the running
gears, patent and plain wagon wheels by the
dozens, springs, carriage iron and fixtures in
quantities sufficient to stock a large store,
and carriage humber in abundance. In the
carriage wareroofn were twenty on more car
riages of various styles, from the handsome
barouche, fit for an editor, down to the more
common kinds good enough for lawyers and
doctors. In addition, there were number
of good secondhand carriages on hand, for
the Messrss Weber do not object to dick
err" Besides their local trade, carriages are
sold TO various towns in this State and in the
cities, and thus the large number of hands
are kept constantly employed. We congratu-
late the Messfs. Weber on their success in
building up SO fine a business, and in doing
such creditable work.
