LETTER FROM RINooEs.

RINGoEs, N. j., March IA, 1882.
Our most worthy friend and honorable
correspondent Of the Democrat, G. r.
Nightingale, has recovered from his late
attack of sickness, and removed himself
from our town to Changewater, in the
upper part of the county, to take charge
of the public school at that place. We
are glad to know that he has not gone to
such distance but that we may expect
an occasional visit from him, and be per-
mitted the privilege of reading an occas-
ional item in the Democrat from his free
and flowing zen. We congratulate the
district upon their choice of school.
master, and wish our friend good fortune
and the best of success. We hope the
Democrat may secure another correspond
ent from our town, and although they
may not be able to secure as faithful one
as " Axis has been, yet there Is plenty
of wit and wisdom lying loose in this vi.
cinity which we hope will be utilized for
good purpose.
The sale of the personal property of T.
j. Young, deceased, took place at his
late residence last Wednesday afternoon
The weather was favorable and the at
tendance good. There seemed to be but
few persons in need of useful articles and
consequently there were few bidders.
Most of the articles brought cheap price
and those who did purchase them gained
many bargains.
The stormy weather of last Thursday
evening prevented great many from at.
tending the Mite Society at the home Of
David Wnliamson. rhoso who were
present enjoyed themselves with different
games, &C., aud were exceedingly amused
by number of comic songs sung by DR.
Gorsuch and wife.
The singing school will close its meet
ings for the present season, Friday even
ing of this week. A good time is expect
ed by the members, and if the weather is
favorable there is no doubt but that the
attendance will be large. 1t is expected
that number of extra pieces of music
will be rendered by quartette selected
for the evening, which will add greatly to
the pleasure of the meeting. DR.. Gorsuch
has proven himself to be an efficient
teacher, and we doubt not for moment
but that the effects of his instructions
during the past winter, will be plainly
noticed in the future, it having already
been source of remark and pleasure to
many.
The debating society discontinued their
meetings for the Winter, last Monday
evening. This society has been one Of
instruction to those who participated in
its debates aud otherwise engaged in it,
aud it is hoped it may be more fully pa
tropized next season than it has been
during the past winter 1t was agreed to
reopen il next Winter subject to the call
of the present presiding secretary.
Rev. j. NJ. Helsley has resigned his
charge as pastor of The Baptist Church at
this place. We are sorry to learn of the
above and to know that our friend intends
to depart from our midst. He has made
himself valuable citizen while here
among us by upbnlding the right with a
strong hand, aud by assisting in all things
of public enterprise and of benefit to the
town. Our best wishes attend him.
We forgot to mention in our last letter
of the closing exercises of the Academy
of Science and Art, under the principal
ship of DR.. c. w. Larson, of this place.
Although unable, to be present, we are
informed that the Scholars acqunIeu
themselves admirably well. The essays
that were read upon topics Of interest,
and the orations delivered, were both in
structive and interesting.
The caucus of the Democratic party of
this township passed of very quietly
compared with the one of last Fall The
election takes place to-day and judging
from present appearances there will be a
lively contest. POP.
