LETTER FROM RINGoES.

RINGoEs. N. j., April 2, 1883.
April opened with the usual number OF
april FOOLS
II requires a clear and level-headed man
to walk decently on our plank walk.
Our "Suniiower" is the biggest april
fool of the season. Its beauty is not
to be seen.
Sickness prevails to quite all extent In
this community. A number OF persons
are confined to their beds.
AT the extra election held last Tuesday,
Ira Higgins, Democrat, was elected Town
Committeeman and Lewis d. Stout, Re-
publican, Surveyor of Highways.
Wanted.--A man with spirit of en-
terprise and charity, to build new plank
walk, from the village to the ''Suniiower. :
Liberal praise and honor offered as re-
compense.
Tho pulpit of the Presbyterian Church,
was occupied yesterday morning by Rev.
c. S. Conkling and in the evening by
Rev. John Scarlet, during Rev. Mr..
Kent's absence FROM home.
We are sorry to report the severe Illness
of Mr.. John Pegg, our Constable. He is
confined to his bed with pneumonia. His
condition has been serious for several
days, but we are now glad to learn that
he is getting better. We trust he will
continued to improve and may soon be
able to be around and breathe the pure,
fresh air again.
Snow began falling early last Friday
morning and continued TO fall Till the
middle of the afternoon. During that
time it gathered very fast. According TO
| our observers, it fell to the depth of eight
inches. A number of sleighs were out
during the evening and ON Saturday sew
| eral of them were seen to pass by The
| THERMOMETER, Saturday morning, regis
tered about $50 above zero. Sleighing at
this time of year is iare occurrence AT
present writing the fields are still white
with their snowy coverings.
A number of changes took place in our
village during the past week. Some
moved out while others moved in. Wagons
containing great varieties of household
goods, were seen passing through our viii
lage. We will note some of the changes
Andrew Blackwell, Jr., removed to the
farm lately purchashed by him from the
estate of Jeremiah Young, deceased,
Randolph B. Quick has taken charge
of DR.. Rowland's farm, near the station,
lately occupied by Andrew Blackwell.
VIM. J. Bovine has moved on the farm
purchased by him of John II. Young and
situate half-mile west of our village.
Thomas Farley has moved in part of
the house known as the Wagner property.
Several other changes will take place
during this week, as follows
Henry Brewer and family will remove
to Pennington.
Rev. Fisher Wilson will remove in the
house vacated by Mr.. Brewer, opposite
tho Baptist Church.
A few houses in our village will be
empty after the Spring movings are over,
but we trust they will be occupied before
many months pass by. There is no other
village of the same size in the State, that
is more pleasant in all particulars and af
fords more opportunities for comfort,
than our own village of Ringoes. If
strangers desiring to locate in small viii
lage, should give Ringoes call, they
would find it a most happy place wherein
to spend their days. They are certainly
welcome here. Por.

FoR
I" NO CAUSED

The verdict Of the jury in the case re-
surprise The trial had given me very
little concern. had not thought it ne
cessary to employ counsel and relied up
on a mere statement of the case to the
Jury. What increased my surprise was
the exalted position Of two of the jury
one a prominent member of the Common
Council, from whose hands received my
appointment law maker (; the son of
distinguished ex-pound keeper the other
court crier in court of justice an ex-
Constable, and wants to be again. Alas
Alas As I have said before, this is a sub
iect that should interest every good citi-
zen. The money consideration is insight
iicant compared to the contempt of law
and hitter disregard of the plainest prnci-
pies of right and justice which school
boy ten years old ought to comprehend.
Even the owner of the COWS who knew
they were stolen out and refused to pay
the roundagc, avails himself of the pro
lection of this law His neighbours cows
were tresspassing on his pasture lot and
his son was driving them 10 the pound.
The owner of The cows interfered and
rescued them and he ran to me to prose-
cute the offender, the fine for which Of
fence is ten dollars. If the cows com
planned of had been in his pasture week
they would not have done as much dam
are as his did me in one hour.
1t is not agreeable to be robbed though
it is done legally. The verdict OF the
Jury in question is not calculated to fav-
orably impress the public toward trial by
Jury. The fault is not in the law but In
the iurymen--some good and some bad.
There is in all cities and towns n vaga-
bond class lying around loose, ready to
serve on jures who can be bribed with a
drink of whiskey. The law ought to be
amended SO as to prohibit persons acting
as jurymen who are living in idleness
and without visible means of support.
Office seekers and trading politicians
might be included, especially near cleo
ton time. How many lawyers the de-
PENDANT went to before he found one to
advise him to stand trial Is not known
but be 1t said to the credit one that he
discouraged him and told him he would
have to pay the poundage of the cows

The Washington Rock House, large
summer hotel on the mountain back of
Plainfield, wss destroyed by fire on the
night of the I'd, with allits contents. Tho
loss is $4,000. The hotel was owned by
Judge Z. w. Runyen. The Elizabeth
Journal says the house was built on the
spot where Washington watched the
movements of the British army. "A clear
sweep of the country can be made, from
New York down toward Sandy Hook, and
thence as far as the eye can reach over
the plains OF Monmouth, and away across
the State to where the blue outline of the
Pennsylvania mountains bounds the hori-
zon. A more lovely picture cannot be
imagined than that presented from this
spot during summer shower, when the
falling rain can be seen slowly advancing
across the country, followed by the sun
light through the broken clouds, till
gradually the whole field of vision il a
vast mass Of sunlight and shadow which
give the landscape variegated appear
ance most beautiful to behold"

ate a spring trotting circuit, to embrace
five or six of the principal tracks in this
State, embracing Freehold, Wayerly
Plainield. Pennington. Newton and pro
badly Somerville. This item is going
around in the papers, and it don't seem
that it will ever stop. So far as Fleming

Our Society does not propose TO enter the
spring circuit SO the officers inform us,
but they are desirous of forming fall
circuit. There is something sensible in
this. Too many Fairs occur during the
same week with the present go-as-yon
please arrangement. With the formation
of circuit, Fairs could be held week
after week by the different Societies, aud
then one could not interfere with the
other. Hunterdon Democrat.

A SAD AND Fatal ACCIDENT On
Tuesday morning last Jacob Fretz, of the
firm of Fretz & Bro, millers on the Te-
hickon, at Pipersville, was engaged haul,
ing feed from Point Pleasant, when he
met with an accident that proved i'm
mediately fatal. He was accompanied by
john Yost, each having team, and tor
lieve the journey of its monotony Mr..
Fretz was riding ON the wagon with Mr..
Yost, allowing his own team to follow on
behind. While descending hill the lock
of Yost's wagon broke and his horses
started of on run. In Mr.. Fritz's haste
to get off the load in order to check his
own team he was in some manner thrown
to the ground with such violence that his
neck was broken. Mr.. Yost says the un-
fortunate man never moved after striking
the ground. The lead horses OF Mr.
Fritz's team turned off to one side, but
one of the tongue horses is blind and
stepped upon the face of the PROSTATE
man, disflguring it sadly. The heavily
loaded wagon also passed over his body.
Life was entirely extinct whom he was
taken up, but few minutes after the sad
accident. He was an upright and popular
young man of about 81 years, and leaves
a wife and child to mourn his loss.
