LETTER FROM RINGoES.

hiNGoES, N j., April 8, 1888
We were favored with several beautiful
days last week.
Our =" sunflower" did not observe
SHOWING day, greatly to our regret.
Mr.. John Pegg, who we reported in
our last letter as being seriously III, is at
present improving, aud his immediate
recovery is expected
Our friend, c. II. Nightingale spent a
short time in our village last week. lie
had just experienced short spell of sick
ness and dismissed school for week or
SO, in order to reeuperate. He is still
engaged at Changewater
The grass and grain ARE beginning to
grow and already look green and fresh
The warm sunshine of last week produced
a noticeable effect upon them. The
wheat in this vicinity certainly looks ex-
cellent at the present time. aud the pros
pect for tine crop of it could not be
better.
We are glad to note that we arc to
have new plank walk in one OF the
places that it was badly needed. It is
being laid in front OF the residence of
Mrs. L. Y. Van Marter. We trust this is
but the start Of the laying of new walks
in front of the several residences between
the store and station. Certainly many of
them need new ones. Much praise and
credit are due Mrs. Van AIarter aud her
mother, Mrs. Eliza Schenck, for the at
tention they have always given our plank
walks and the interest they take in the
matter. They were always the first TO
agitate the matter and we are glad they
are now the first to lay new walk in
front of their home. May others give
equal attention 10 their own walks.
II our railroad company is an aecommo-
dating company, as they would have
many believe, we would like to know in
what such accommodation exists toward
the people Of our village. The station at
this place is decidedly too small to ac-
commodate the number of passengers
that often gather there. With the pass
enger receipts as large rs at present, we
think the company should erect at ouce
suitable and sufficiently large station and
not wait until the people become dis
gusted that their correspondents are
obliged to write continually about it, If
any sense of shame or even trace of con-
science, possibly exists in the officers of a
railroad corporation, the station at this
place should excite such shame and cause
IA blush to redden the cheek every time
the matter comes to their attention, or is
even thought of Are the officers at
Lambertvile responsible for this neglect?
We are sorry to report that the school
at the Seminary has been closed. Mrs.
Wisener, its Principal and her assistant,
Miss Cox, used every endeavor to make
the school Que aflording extra advantages
and facilities for gaining practical and
useful education. They did not receive
liberal patronage and assistance from the
members of our community who, if they
only knew the value of such school, and
were not preiudiced against certain
things, would, perhaps, have acted diff
ferently That the school was Of The
character stated, was proved by the inn
provement made by its scholars. The
Principal and her assistant were truly
ladies of marked ability aud merit, and
we regret that they arc so soou obliged to
close their duties as Instructors among
us. We understand that the school will
be re.opened in the Fall under the prin-
cipalsllip of lady from Pennsylvania.
1t is hoped that she may be successful.
POP,
