LETTER FROM RINGoES.

RINGoEs. N j., March 70, 1888.
The cold weather has seemed to have
frozen our QUOT pitchers. Gracious, what
an idle time some will experience.
Moving day is approaching and. soon
the delicious odor of the custard pie and
plump buildings will attract many TO the
tables of the movers.
The sale of the personal property of the
late Jeremiah Young, was well attended
last Wednesday, and the auctioneer found
plenty of bidders FOR the different articles
of value.
The thermometer marked as low as d
above zero, one morning of last week.
The weather of this month is certainly
astonishing March has not given such
experiences in many years.
The "caucus fighters" did not appear
last Saturday afternoon. Perhaps the
sixty days confinement of one of their
comrades in the county Jail, has taken the
''knock down" spirit out of them. May
it be so.
Caucus day passed of uncommonly
quiet and peaceful. Not much of strife
was manifested between the candidates
for the different nominations. The party
should endeavor to have every caucus day
as peaceful and quiet as tho last.
Now that caucus is over perhaps it
might be interesting to some at least, to
knoO who got the most cigars from the
free boxes of couple of our liberal
hearted candidates. "Havanas" will GER
tainly be high after the election, SO great
has been the demand and consequently,
use OF them, for the past week or So
Perhaps some one can raise storm
at election tomorrow and thus do East
Amwell's share toward tho fulflment of
Virgins prediction. Something of the
kind should certainly take place, other
wise East Amwell will lose her noteriety
for bull.dozing and ''disgraceful trans
actions" Inquire of ''Reformer Truth. 5"
The non-appearance of Virgins pre-
dicted storm, causes but single regret
in our heart. If it could have proven Sc
we're enough to have carried our beautiful
'Sunhower'' from it's foundation and
blown 1t to parts unknown, then it would
have accomplished aoorthy object. A lit
tie dynamite properly administered, would
perhaps prove happy "dose" to it, or at
least many of our citizens think so.
If those who stumble and sometimes
fall from such stumble, on our plant;
walks, would not allow their passions to
1 gain such complete control over them as
to cause them to pick up the loose boards
and toss them to the side or in the road,
we might not have such q dilapidated
walk. Let those who often trip on oul
walks and are guilty of the above, think
of this when about to throw a loose board
! in the road.
Some apparently hungry thieves entered
the residence of Mr.. William Servis o.
this place, and the late residence Of Jere
miah Young, deceased Of this vicinity
last Tuesday evening, 9th inst. At thu
former place can of fruit was the onl,
thing taken and only part of it was eaten
Perhaps the stomach of the thief wa
small or else his conscience troubled hin
before he could empty the can. At tn
latter place, couple of mince pies wer
taken. One of these was afterward
found short distance from the house
The thief or thieves were evidently no
as hungry as their robberies would seen
to indicate. Plenty of other swee
goodies were in the two houses and
the thieves had desired rich feast, the
could easily have enjoyed such. Th
robberes are supposed to have been tn
work of tramps.
