RLNG0ES LETTER.


RINaoEs, N. j.. Jan. l0 1889.
Several of the persons in this town having
ice houses, partly filed them with ice last
Friday aud Saturday, 1t was about iive inches
in thickness.
The Odd Fellows were all happy on Satur-
day night. New officers were installed, and
according to custom they all repaired 10 the
saloon of Ely Quick aud indnlged in hearty
feast of oysters, at the expense Of the nes in
cumbents. We did not see the goat, but
imagine they led him tn at the back door
and permitted him to Share in the feast We
are told that the lately initiated members es-
pecially enjoyed the feast aud wish for its
| early return again.
The attendance at the churches on Sunday
was not very good, on account of the disagree
able weather and rain.
The services heldby the different churches
last week were largely attended. Deep inter
est was taken in ,lhem by many, and it is
hoped that much good may result from them.
We understand they will not be continued
longer.
The Debating Society held its regular meet
cept the Vice President, in the chair. An ora
tion, or rather reading, was delivered by Da-
vid Williamson, n the absence of Datis Reed.
But as be finished, Mr. Reed appeared and
gave us an interesting and instructive account
of the sights he experienced during one day
in his travel FROM Illinois to Buffalo. He
beautifully described the scenes of the Niagara
and its vicinity. This was followed by the
debate upon the question, Resolved, That
corporal punishment should not be abolished. y
After discussion between the debaters re-
latve to which side of the question they were
to argue, the debate began and brought forth
quite some talk and humor from the lips of
the debaters, but not a great deal of sound
argument. The judges decided in favor of
the affirmative, leaving it to the Society to
judge which side of the question they meant
We would recommend to the judges that they
reserve thor decisions hereafter until they
understand the questions at issue. The next
question for debate is :" Resolved That trial
by jury should be abolished
The next meeting of the Mite Society will
take place at the house of Liscomb Schenck,
ON Thursday evening Of this week. A large
attendance should be had and good time be
| experienced. POP.

ing to Mrs. E. having previously made an en-
gagement elsewhere Rev. w. P. G. Strick-
land, of the NJ. f. Church of this city, filled
her place at the Gospel Temperance Meeting,
in the room of the T.. s. s., last Sunday after
noon, and delivered plain-talk address, in
which he referred to the editorial in THE
RECORD of December 2Sth, entitled
Backbone, which he thought stated the
pie lacked " backbone "--and he asked the
question, directed personally to each one
present, "What have you done for the cause
of temperance during tire week just passed :"
He said that all temperance people, and es-
pecially Christian people, needed to work
more zealously in the temperance cause not
cease their labors for time, but work daily.
He mentioned the fact Of a great excitement
being raised at the time that Mr.. j. X. Os-
good, of Maine, labored here, and then, some
time after his departure, the work ceased !;
next came Frost and hit pretty hard among
the people, and the excitement was again
great, but after the Frost left, the people be-
came quiet once more, and now we were
waiting for something new to turn up. "We
Methodists,n said the speaker, 'sare said to
be great folks for raising an excitement, and
after securing a number of converts and the
excitement ceases, there are always many
backslders therefore, in this temperance
work we must III be Methodists." He urged
all TO work with zeal, and great good would
be accomplished. lie referred to the fact of
rum being sold Illegally and on Sundays, and
said he would stand by any number of men in
an effort to have the law enforced and to stop
Sabbath breaking. The speaker was atten-
lively listened to by an unusually large audi
ence. The President of the Society, James

business was disposed of, three indictments
being tried:
The State v. john Kelly.-Indictmen for
assault and battery upon johnson NJ Snyder
Kelly and Snyder were both intoxicated at
Stockton, and Kelly knocked Snyder down,
injuring. him somewhat. 1t was claimed on
the part of the State that after Snyder was

was conflict Of testimony. The defence con-
tended that the assault was justified that
Snyder was the aggressor, he having chal-
lenged Kelly to fight, both by words and by
shaking his fist at him. Verdict, not guilty.
The State v. Amos Riley.-The defendant
and one Ezra Moore were together indicted
for an affray. During festival held at the
Lower Valley Presbyterian Church in August
claimed that these two originated it, or par
ticpated in it. Moore pleaded guilty, and
therefore Riley was tried alone. He contend
ed that he took no part in the affray, and that
the witnesses who claimed to identify him as

to his brother, who did take part in it. Ver-
dict guilty, with recommendation to mercy.
Fined SIS and costs.
TIE State v. Mary E. Corbitt.-Indictmen
for sending an insulting, indecent, offensive
and annoying letter to Mrs Rachel Smith.

of Runkle Rea, in Pennington, and Mrs.
Smith occupied the adjoining house. Mrs.
Smith testified that young boy, a grand child
of Runkle Rea, threw the letter over the fence
to her, saying that there was a letter Lizzie
wanted her to have. The defendent testified
that she did not write the letter, and had
nothing whatever to do with the sending of
it that she saw the boy writing something
about her or Mrs. Smith, and epdeavored to
get it from him, but he would not give it to
her, and she informed Mrs. Rea and requested
her to get it of the boy. The defendant was
correlated by the boy and by Mrs. Rea, the
latter testifyiDg that she knew the boy print
ed the letter. and she told him TO burn it, and
supposed be had done so. The boy, a lad
twelve years old, stated that he had printed

ADVERTISING SALES OF PROPERTY. An
inquiry was put, not loug ago, to Auctioneer
Hope, the successful crier of vendues wheth-
er it would pay the advertiser of a sale of
personal property to insert notice of the
sale in the newspapers of the county, or
whether hand-bils were sufficient The reply
of Mr.. Hope was so much to the point that
we quote it in full
"My advice to all who have real estate or
personal property to sell at public sale is, do
not make the grand mistake of losing hum
dreds of dollars, in trying to save less than
ten, by keeping your advertisement out Of
your county papers. The majority of the
community never see hand bill; yet every
family, nearly, in the county takes news
paper The reason am so often asked the
question, Are there any sales this season p
is that not more than one in ten are adver-
tised in the papers
"Thc result is that the day of sale arrives,
few turn out, and it is only with liberal
use of the tongue in coaxine and persuasion,
that the auctioneer gets rid of goods. Where
as, if they had literally sounded abroad the
Siou hCNS tuu1 thcy uhu ioV VI uOlhtS,
COWS, sheep, wagons and farming implements,
old clocks, spinning wheels and andirons to
sell, the crowd would have been greater, the
work for the auctioneer easier the sale liveler,
prices better, your pile of notes very much
higher and figures bigger, and instead of a
sorrowful face they and their families would
wear smiles for week and the happy auc-
tioneer would not get through smiling until
the sale season was ended in April. Try it
and see if the advice of your ser0ant don't
