RINGoEs, N. j., April Is, 1882.
Most of the farmers in this vicinity
have finished the sowing OF oats, and are
preparing to till the ground FOR receiving
the corn.
A great many persons hereabouts are
at work digging and planting their gar
dens, and doing other necessary spring
work. The warm sunshine of the past
few days has made the seeds and plants
of the gardens shoot forth, and the buds
of the trees to swell in preparation for
sending forth the blossoms to sweeten the
air with delicate perfumes and add bean-
ty to the face of nature. Soon the trees
will send forth their new branches and
assume gay foliage, to provide shade for
the toiling and burdened husbandman,
under whose branches he delights to re-
pose and rest for while, when the burn
ing sun of a midsummer day is sending
forth its bright and scorohing rays. House
cleaning time is near at hand, and soon
the busy maiden, with Redeemed cheeks
working with all her might to prepare tho
house for summer, in anticipation of
pleasant visit from her country cousin
or some one else's cousin. Soon the small
boy, with face besplattered with lime,
will daub the fence as me- er he did before,
as he thinks Of the promise of his parents
to give him pack of fire crackers on
Fourth Of July or Il handsome Christmas
present. Soon we shall see the young
man with many admirers, leaning upon
the garden or front gate at eve, echoing
forth pleasant and loving words to his
affectionate or would-be atfectionate
sweetheart. Soon we shall see the blush
ing maiden fasten charming dandelion
or big sunfiower upon the coat of
her admirsr, receiving in answer a pleas
ant smile and well satisfied couBtenance.
Thus are we reminded of spring and her
beauty.
Rev. X. j. Kent preached his first an
niversary sermon on Sabbath morning
last, one year having elapsed from the
time he preached his first sermon after
ordination and installation.
We hear again the rumor, reciting the
prospect of an Odd Fellows Hall being
built in this town. We hope 1t may not
prove to be but an empty sound as for
merly. 1t is the opinion of great many
persons hereabouts, that a building of
reasonable dimensions and properly de-
vised in apartments for public use, would
not only be convenience to the place,
but would prove financial success. How
far the latter would prove true we know
not, but it would be safe to surmise that
enough money could be obtained from
renting public hall for purposes Of en-
tertainments, together with the rent of
one or two small rooms in the Same build
ing for other purposes, to insure the
owners of such building of no need of
loss, but probable gain. 1t has gotten
80 that public hall in this town seems to
be a necessity that should soon be sup
piled. Various Entertainments of value
and instruction are passed by, owing TO
there being no place suitable for holding
such. We hope the Odd Fellows Of this
place will 60 to work with this matter
and show to the people of our town and
of surrounding towns, that the spirit of
enterprise still subsistsl within them, and
that they are not dead in public work and
spirit.
The public school of this place reopen
cd yesterday (Monday) morning. A Mr..
Reed, Of White House, has taken charge
of it.
