LETTER FROM RINGoEs.
R1NeoEs. NJ. Oct. 80. 1873

difficulty in getting on the cars at Broad
street station, when about to return. The
crowd was certainly immense.
Farmers in this vicinity are hard at
work husking their corn. The weather
has not been very favorable of late for
this kind Of work.
Apples are in abundance and are selling
cheap. A great many are being carted to
the cider miles.
Mrs. Eliza Schenck, widow of Henry
Schenck, deceased, had fine monument
erected to his memory, in the Union
Cemetery of this place, the latter part of
last week. 1t is of the celebrated Rock
town granite and is nicely carved and let
tered. The plot In which it stands is sur
rounded by neat and pretty iron fence.
Rev. Mr.. Blattenberger, of Reaville, oc-
cupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian
Church, last Sabbath His sermons were
plain, original, high instructive and inter-
esting. He is certainly very fluent
preacher.
A Rev. Mr. Wilson has been chosen
Pastor of the Baptist Church in this
village
Several of the officers of the Penna. r.
r. Co, passed over the Pennington
Branch of the great road, a week or so
ago, on tour of inspection. We under
stand that they did not make halt at our
station. This was certainly great mis-
take in them, for this building truly needs
very close inspection but perhaps when
passing by it they only thought it some
farmers old sheep house or hog pen and
did not recognize it as Ringoes station
and probably they did not care to see it,
for fear they would be filled with such a
sense of shame Gf such is possible), as to
almost cause them to order the erection of
new one. If they do not erect new
one. we sincerely hope that they will put
at least one window glass in each sash of
this dilapidated building, to prevent the
full blasts of the wintry winds from chill
ling the waiting passengers. Perhaps the

these officers a grand reception in this
beautiful building, if they had only
stopped. They deserve it,
A we'll of few feet in depth, along the
plank walk leading to the station and
near the farm house of DR.. Rowland, is
dangerous thing. 1t is but partly covered
and to passengers travelling by 1t during
dark nights, it is exceedingly dangerous.
We hope the Doctor will soon place
suitable cover over it.
We are informed that George West,
young man who formerly lived with his
parents in this village, was run over and
instantly killed by train on one of the
Western roads, one day last week. He
went West about two years ago. and was
employed on a farm at the time of the
accident.
Election day is drawing near and can
didates for the various offices have but
another week to advance their interests.
Little is said in this place about politics,
and no interest at.all seems to be given
it. Many persons of both parties, and
especially the Democratic party, have
become disguised with the bosses y and
s'ring politicians" and therefore take
but little interest in the coming election.
1t seems to be the general opinion here
abouts, that Harris will be cleft - and
the great ring" at Pennington deeply
buried. Our township will give Howey
handsome majority, unless the bulldozing
process is put in operation. The question
that now affords discussion is whether
our town shall be the scene of another
ARRAY like that on caucus day. If such
is the case, we hope our officers will act
with the same readiness that they did on
that day. If any disorderly, drunken
persons appear at the polls, we advise our
officers to take charge of them immedi-
ately, and thus prevent them from causing
any disturbance.
While Rev. Mr.. Blattenberger, was drv-
ing from Reavlle to Ringoes, last Sabbath
mornings and when near the residence of
J. W. Priestly, his horse became fright
ened and ran into tree, thereby breaking
the shafts. The horse was slightly in
jured, but otherwise no damage was done.
1t is nearly time we hear that another
one of our former residents has been
scalped by the Indians in the West. We
are getting behind the times. Next.
Seine of the trees in our village appear
very beautiful at this season of the year.
The leaves have assumed various colors
ard present the most charming of natural
beauties. Indeed, what work of the
artist can exceed in beauty the highly
colored maple leaves that greet the eye at
this season of the year. Truly, the works
of nature are more beautiful than those
of art.
A great many of our citizens are laying
in large supply of coal for winter The
prospects point to an extremely cold, win
ter and it is we'll to prepare for it,
Next Tuesday will be cold day for
Harris, from present prospects. East
Amwell will, no doubt, give him lively
chill"
The first gun of the campaign in
Ringoes, will be fired tonight, by the
Greenback orator. No doabt it will make
a loud explosion. They had better save
their powder. POP.
