LETTER FROM RINGoEs.

vi Our CttizcuS-suEffFotS Va suS iatS Woat
have gone to Pennington TO assist in
strewing the graves Of departed and be-
loved comrades who fought manfully upon
the field of battle, and died in the defence
Of the country they loved, with flowers.
Is it not right that we should set apart
one day Of each year to pay respect to
those who, in the midst Of shot and shell,
enduring hardships and pains, but with
sterling valour and bravery In their hearts,
upheld the s'stars and stripes till the
bullet pierced their manly forms and NOR
tally relieved them I? Heroes they were,
and long may their memories be cherished.
Vennor's prophecy of wet Summer for
1872, has received already stimulus to be-
lief by the many rains and occasional
showers that have visited us during the
past month. These rains have been bene-
fetal to the growing grain and grass.
The fields that were apparently barren at
the opening of Spring, are now covered
with growing and waving grain and grass,
and the prospect for an average crop is
certainly very favorable. 5&4f3
"June Bugs" or Punching Bugs" as
some choose to call them, have made their
appearance in our churches Sabbath even
ings, and render many of the attendants
thereof restless and uneasy, for fear they
may give them an occasional nip"
Those persons possessed of large noses
and ears, and bald craniums, seem to be
the ones mostly sought after by these
bugs, which places anord them pleasant
resting abode and one of sweet repose.
We are afraid that as many watch the
movements of these bugs and enjoy the
annoyance they render Others, as listen to
the sermon and hear the preachers voice.
Several of our citizens, and especially
those who have pride in keeping every
thing about their premises cleanly aud in
good order, have rendered their fences
about their gardens and lots beautiful by
whitewashing them. Nothing adds more
to the beauty of a village at this season of
the year, when the trees have assumed
kuciE lohhBc aud appear Az cioosu, sh"a
the whitewashed fences and barns.
DIR. A. NJ. Hart has Finished the new
plank-walk from his residence to the hotel
sheds.
David Williamson, the merchant, is
improving his property both in appearance
and value, by the addition of coat of
paint.
P. o. Holcombe has removed q number
of trees from his front yard, which has
caused marked change in the appear
ance of his property.
A number of the yards hereabout are so
densely filled with trees, that they resem-
BILE forests more than door yards.
Some of the corn that was planted quite
early, in this vicinity, has sprouted, and
already its blades are seen above the
ground. Those of our farmers who sue
ceeded in getting their corn planted have
been fortunate, for there are many others
who, owing to the late rains, have been
prevented for long time from doing so.
Our item in last weeks issue concern
ing the lively time" in our town
couple of weeks ago, seemed to have en-
ragged some of our townsmen and caused
them to utter abusive and uncalled for
words toward those whom they supposed
were the authors of the item. "a guilty
conscience needs no accuser is the old
and truthful saying, and its truth seems
we'll illustrated in the actions of those
who supposed our item had reference to
them. They have applied its meaning to
themselves, and if the "shoe fits them" let
them wear it, and if they do not complain
OF the corns upon their feet which were
caused by the shoes they wore before.
We stated the fact as we received 1t from
the lips of others and of our own personal
knowledge. We abstained from personal
attacks and embodied it all under the
appellation of disgraceful affair."" in
which some of our respectable men and
church members were engaged. Let those
who feel the weight Of accusation against
them and have learned of their wrong,
keep silent, for If they lavish any more
abuse upon innocent ones, their descrip-
tion may appear and their acts be scru-
tinized more closely. POP.
