LETTER FROM RlNooEs.

hINooEs, N j., NOV. ., 1861
The Greenback meeting held in our viii
lage last Monday evening, was favored
with fair-sized audience, who listened
attentively to the issues of the party, as
discussed by the speakers, DR.. George 81.
Larson and Esquire Lyman, of Lambert
Vile. These gentlemen spoke earnestly
for their cause, denouncing other parties
as corrupt, and prJnouncing the Green
back party as the only party of true,
honest principles. If We have white
washed" this item any, perhaps Truth
can give the public the correct" account
of 1t.
The month of October was particularly
noted for Its many dull, damp and rainy
days, aud the absence of heavy frosts.
The weather was warm during the greater
part of the month. Such weather In that
season of the year is of rare occurrence
In fact many of our oldest citizens, fail to
recall to their memories, more then one or
two seasons, In which rainy and warm
weather prevailed to such an extent, dur
ing the month of October, as it did dur
ing the same month this year.
The hunting season was ushered In last
Wednesday morning, to the delight of
many sportsmeu. Scarcely had the light
of day broke forth, before the reports of
many guns were heard in this vicinity
The day was clear and very warm. Many
of our sportsmen were out early with their
dogs, intent upon filling their game bags
before nightfal. Many succeeded in their
efforts.
We are glad that a certain amount Of
pride exists among our citizens--that
pride, we mean. which leads our people
to keep their residences and yards sur
rounding them, neat and clean. OF late,
several of our residences have been beauti-
fed by coats of paint, which have added
greatly to their appearance. tits source
of remark among strangers visiting our
village, that we have fine houses and
beautiful yards. Our citizens should GER
tainly feel proud of such comment and
endeavor the moro TO mako orr village
neat and beautiful one. But what shall
we say concerning our station and plank
walk. All comments upon the former
should be bestowed upon the railroad
company all upon the latter are due to
our citizens. The comparison between
the two is certainly great. The former is
not ct for use, either as q station, cattle
pen or even hog pen. The latter Is 10
fair repair, but nevertheless great I'm.
pavement could be made on 1t. Our citi-
zens are partly excused for their neglect
in this matter. Several walks have been
built in the past few years and If they had
been properly built, we should to-day
have no reason to complain of poor
walk. But the unskillfulness and want
of judgment of those who superintendent
early decay and delapidation. But our
station has stood on its same foundation
for twenty years, and from present out
looks may stand there several years long
or. am sure that II our citizens had
charge Of this matter, they would long
since have torn the "shapty" from it's
foundation and erected thereon decent,
suitable building. We hope our citizens
| will not neglect the condition Of the plank
walk. Reform and more enterprise Is
needed The railroad company certainly
need them, as regards our station. But
where Is the eloquent words of "Truth, !"
concerning this matter. AS great re-
former as he, should certainly take this
matter in hand. Perhaps his words of
great persuasion. would accomplish no.
BILE purpose In this matter. Do not, we
pray you, remain silent any longer about
this great work of reform.
The man that shot the most rabbits in
a single day, is the great 'hero'' in the
minds of our sporting fraternity.
Who is the possessor of the biggest
yield and largest ear of corn of this sea-
sons crop, Is the question that furnishes
the topic of conversation at our stores
during the evenings.
Mrs. T. Y. Van Marter is improving the
appearance of her residence, with the adj
dition of a coat Of paint
Two of Trenton's expert croquet play
ers visited Ringoes on Friday, and fell a
victim to the skillful playing of our ex-
perts. Ringoes is entitled to the medal
for expert croquet players.
The HunSrdon Republican of last
weeks issue, contains an item from the
pen of a truly practical reformer," OF
this village, over the signature Of Truth. !"
Indeed the word "Truth" itself, Is "per.
haps," sufficient authority" enough fol
the above statement, concerning his IRE.
FORM" No doubt his former signatures
of Majority" and Occasional Partner, y
seemed too eight" to represent the manly
form and ''above alp the ''noble'' ant
educated mind of his worthy self
We would not in the least do anything o.
utter single word that might In an,
way, cast particle of dshonor upon thi
noble" parsonage, known as "Truth.'
We most respectfully acknowledge him a
