LETTER FROM RlNooEs.

RING0Es, n. j., Jan. 3, 1888.
Did our citizens clear the snow off of
their plankwalks We think a number of
them did not.
The snow of last Friday was light.
Nevertheless, a number of our citizens
availed themselves OF an opportunity for
sleighing.
Those of our citizens who failed to all
their ice houses during the Geld snap in
December, are fearful lest another, as
favorable an opportunity for doing so will
not be afforded.
Dir. ]. v. Robbins, our representative in
the Assembly this winter leaves town
today for Trenton, to attend to his duties

sion begins to-morrew and from present
appearances lively contest will take
place between the aspirants for state Of
ficers. The Dr. win occupy room No. IA,

pleased TO sec any Of his friends who
should perchance visit Trenton.
Meetings were held in the Lecture Room
