LETTER FROM RiN0oEs.

RISeoEs, N. j., August 30, 1882.
The rain of last Sabbath was most
welcomed visitor by the people OF this
community, and in ct,.by those of the
entire State. The drouth was becoming
severe, and the scarcity Of water, if it
should continue, and the consequences
thereof, were forming the topics of con-
versation. The dust in the roads render
ed them to unpleasant and disagreeable
for riding, and nothing but the urgent
calls Of business would tempt any one to
travel them. The ground was nearly as
dry as 1t was during the long and unusual
drouth of last season, and the grass was
parched and dead. Indeed, everything
presented duh, dead appearance. The
greenness of the grass and leaves was
hidden by the thick covering of dust
thereon, and the beauty of our lately
painted residences was not visible through
the thick and clinging particles of dust.
In fact, the sun flower proved to be the
only object of beauty of outdoor growth
that could be seen. But the heavy rain
of Sunday has washed the dust from off
these things, and again we can behold the
| freshness of the leaves and in some places
that of the grass. Everything seems
bright and joyous, and with silent tongue
seems to offer praise and thanksgiving to
the All Wise Providence for the bonntiful
and glorious rain.
Peaches are plentiful hereabouts and
are ripening better and faster than they
were week ago. The forced is giving
place to the natural and better ripened

having died in about an .lour after the
shooting. A probe inserted in the wound
showed that the ball had passed dag

the left ear. The only reason that can be

KILLING TWO BIRDS WITH ONE
STONE.


Bold Attempt TO Capture the hunterdon
County Freeholders.
KINGwooD HOTEL, Aug %, 1882.
To the Editor Of TIE Lam5ertoilie Record !,
Saturday last was an eventful day in
this Democratic stronghold, and will long
be remembered by those who were fortu-
nate enough to be present. The Board
OF Freeholders had been called to consult
upon the propriety of building bridge
across the Leoglin, only short distance
below the palatial hotel of our friend,
Silas Cowdrick, Esq. At half-past ten
the dust in the distance began to remind
everybody that the Campbells, or Camels
for short, were coming, and they did
come in grand style, in sulkeys, buck
boards and buggy, with spanking trotters
thereto. After brushing of an inch Or so
of dust, and washing up so as to be pre-
sentablc at the dinner table, they were
invited to walk down and view the site
for the proposed bridge. The main
bridge of three arches was found to be in
splendid condition, and in no danger of
being washed away, inasmuch as it has
crawled entirely out of the creek on dry
land, and as bridge, it has become a
veritable nuisance to the neighborhood.
One OF two smaller wooden bridges span
what Is now called the creek. The idea
of the " old settlers" | believe, was to
tear these out and build an iron bridge in
place of the others. that would be first
class job " and a "credit to the neighbor-
hood" If anybody knows what that
means. Bully Bloom, the Clerk,
called the roll. Nearly all responded,
thanks to the milage act passed last
Winter. In tho absence of Director
Robinson, Peter Voorhees, was elected te
preside over the Board. Privilege being
given for outsiders to ventilate, Brother
