LETTER FROM RlNGoEs.


Rain is badly needed for the growing
corn. 1t is now beginning to suffer in
this section.
The shipment of peaches from the sta
ton at this place, began last week. A
good many are being shipped daily, con-
sidcring the earliness of the season for
them.
The dust is very bad at present and it
seems that most people delight in driving
at fast gait Though our town.
The plank walk leading to the station
is considerably out of repairs and should
receive immediate attention. No doubt
it will require the same amount of talk
and blow as it has in the past, before we
need look for any move in the direction
of repairs. Let our citizens take hold of
this matter Immediately.
Rand u Hunts excursion to Coney
Island last Tuesday, was we'll patrenizsd
by the people Of this town and vicinity.
This excursion is very popular one and
is increasing in popularity each season,
owing to the gentlemanly and accommo-
dating manner of Messrs. Rand & Hunt.
Business in the town is on the increase,
partly due to the shipment of peaches
| from our station. Our mechanics are do
ing thriving business.
Last Saturday evening several couples
of young people from Neshanic and Flem-
ington visited the hotel and partook of
supper, prepared from the best, by our
popular landlord and landlady; and i'm
dulged in social hop. From appearances,
we judge they experienced good time.
as'~R. Y. Moore much respected
late residence in this place, Saturday af-
ternoon, August 9th. She had suffered
many years of affection, but bore it all
with Christian faith and fortitude. Her
life was one devoted to the cause of Christ
and his work, and When death came to
her, it found her willing and ready, with
the feeling assurance of peaceful rest
hereafter. Her funeral took place from
the Presbyterian Church, last Wednesday
morning. A great many relatives and
friends were present. An only son is left
to mourn her loss. We extend to him
hand of sympathy, trusting that he will
follow in the Christian footsteps of his de-
parted mother.
John Fisher and George Stamets, two
young men formerly of this place, but
now engaged, the former at Philadelphia,

may continue with them.

Dr. G. w. Larson of this place, Princi
pal of the Academy of Science and Art,
and practitioner of medicine Tor many
years in this vicinity, lying dangerously
i'll at his residence, with blood poisoning.
He contracted this disease while holding
post mortem examination of the body of
the late Mrs. Moore. A slight scratch was
on his hand at the time, and it is supposed
that the poisonous matter of the dead
body, gained access to the system in this
way. He is receiving the most skllful
care and attention. He is in critical
condition and gets no better We hope
he may soon recover and enjoy the best
of health again.

same arrangements have been made by
the other churches of this place. by ap-
