Visiting the WhIslsey DlstilIers.

During the past three weeks agents
from the Internal Revenue Department
at. Washington, have been quietly drop
ping in at the distlleries in Somerset and
Middlesex counties and have succeeded in
unearthing fraudulent packages in many
of them. The illicit stuff was sent to the
Office of Collector M. ii. Vanderveer, at
Someryille, and will be disposed of in th Q
usual manner by the Government. Near
ly every hotel and saloon in the Third
Congress District has been visited,
but until the agents make their report the
propretors Of the places will remain on
the ragged edge of anxiety, fearing an
indictment in the United States Court at
Trenton.
At Rocky Hill the agents pounced upon
tavern keeper named William Gabriel,
who had refilled two barrels without mu-
tilating the old stamps. The whiskey
was seized and forwarded to Somervile.
The usual programme of the agent is to
suddenly appear in the suspected saloon,
hotel or distillery; take an inventory of
the stock from cellar to attic, and then
depart, leaving the owner no wiser than
before as the probability of his indictment
in the near future.
There is reason to believe, that the
agents found in the distilleries at Aque-
duct Mills, Plainsboro, Cranbury, Gran
bury Station, Red Tavern. Jamesburg,
Rhode Hall and Old Bridge, large quanti-
ties of illicit stuff, and the owners are
tremblingly awaiting their doom.
In some unaccountable manner the
saloon-keepers of New Brunswick have
become acquainted with the probable
early visitation Of the agents and are TAX
ing every precaution to guard against a
surprise.
1t is stated that the government ag ents
have also been visiting some of our Hun
terdon county distilers and cigar manu-
facturers, but with what result we are not
informed. -Hunterdon Democrat.

Last Tuesday, Mark Jim, our Chinese
laundryman, had call from Chinaman
who gave his name as Gee Wung. Mark
was unacquainted with him but entertain
ed him until Monday morning of this
week, when Gee Wung pocketed lot of
money and pistol belonging to Mark,
and left. Mark soon discovered his loss
and reported it. Gee Wung went down
the river road, probably with the inten-
ton of taking a train at the next station,
but for some reason, when he got to the
outlet locks he turned and came up the
railroad to the railroad station in this
city, where he was arrested. He was
taken before Justice Horn and after u
hearing, was committed to Pennington
jail Constable Mitchell took him in
charge. While at the Justices office, he
was examined and $44.5s and the pistol
were found in his possession. Mark
thought he had stolen about $50, but it
is probable that he recovered all that was
taken. Mark says the fellow kept urging
him to buy whiskey while he was with
him, but he said "Me no drinkee whis-
key" Perhaps he thought to get Mark
drunk, the better to rob him.

there"

asked to forget" but could they ?
Could they forget the march, the camp,
the fights, the wounds, the prison, the
bad fare, the missing arm or leg, the loss
of father or brother? No. But the ami
mostly Of the war could be buried, and all
unite in their love for our common
country.

Andrew s Church, and verbal regrets were

of White House took their "best girls !"
to the Woods M. E. Church where series
of extra meetings are being held, and
after the meeting was dismissed, they
drove over to Rowlands Mills where they
left their wagons while they spent little
time with the young ladies. In the wee
hours of the morning they bid the young
ladies adeu and started TO get their
wagons and found that some one had
given them a nice white washing, and
also applied liberal portion to the horse.

Good Luck All Around.

Good Luck All Around.
DR.. George II. Larson, has recently
found nearly half dozen horse shoes in
our streets, the last of which was found on
Union street, last Saturday, near our Of
flee, and like the others it was nearly new.
On his picking it up, friend said to him:
"Nail it.up for good LUCK" at which the
Doctor replied, "No, lay them aside and
find MORE" But the Doctor on his rounds
on Monday through West Amwell, in that
cold storm, when homeward bound near
our city, spied something again in the
middle of the road that was not horse
shoe. Stopping to see what it might be,
as it was muddy and raining, he thought
by the feeling of it, that it was bag of
undressed chickens that some one had lost
from wagon on going to market. So
the Doctor laid the bag in front of his
buggy, and cold and chilly, soon reached
his home, when he called for help to care
for his horse and findings. The bag
string was cut and behold on top were
seven fine fat plump pheasauts, and next,
lots of nice quails. The Doctor had his
usual liberality on hand, and having a
standing invitation for Thanksgiving
dinner elsewhere, sent word back into the
country to the supposed owner who came
hastily with full description of his proper
ty, which he had given up-gone! With
many, thanks to the Doctor for his timely
notice and especial kindness, he started
again for his home with close watch on
his game, which he. lost from his wagon
the day before on his way fiom the depot
to his homo in the country. Ifany of our
readers want a good Thanksgiving game
dinner, they will find it at our friend Jos.
Mathews at Mathews Corner.

AN INQUIRER.
ANSWER. Why not call places by their
we'll deserved names; for from an early
date as 1747 Philip Ringo, kept the pub
lie house and all the Notable inhabitants
over the territory now known as Raritan,
Delaware, East and West Amwell town
ships and the city of Lambertville, as
sembled there on a fixed day in March of
each year and elected township officers,
for all this region. About all the town
ship business transactions were done at
the house of Philip Ringo, until he was
succeeded by John Ringo in 1857, who
held the same position till ITO, when Hen
ry Mersheon, came in his stead for three
years and was followed by John Snyder,
two years, and Joseph Robinson as much
longer, with successor to the present,
and all these years tho inhabitants still
called tho same place Ringoes. Philip
Ringo was elected Assessor of Amwell,
March s, 1747, and reelected the year fol-
lowing. John Ringo, Henry Ringo and
Albertus Ringo, each held impo. Sant of
fees in Amwell. Let some one in this i'm
portant part of our county, join in the
search and tell us of the early times and
good old people who lived at the first
Cross (Xl Roads in Hunterdon county,
now called Ringoes, for here the early
pioneer from New York to Philadelphia
landings, crossed the track of the adven-
turer from Trents town on his way to the
better lands of the Jerseys. w.

To Our Readers.
We cannot too strongly urge upon our
readers the necessity Of subscribing for a
family weekly newspaper of the first
olass-such, for instance as THE INDIE
PENDENT, of New York. Were we oblg-
ed to select one publication for habitual
and careful reading to the exclusion of all
others, we should choose unhesitatingly
THE INDEPENDENT. 1t is newspaper,
magazine, and review, all in one. 1t is
religious, a literary, an educational,
story, an art, scientific, an agricultural,
a financial, and political paper combined.
1t has 80 folio pages and 90 departments.
No matter what PERSONS religion, poll
tics or profession may be, no matter what
the age, sex, employment or condition
may be, THE INDEPENDENT will prove
help,an instructor, an education. Our read
ers can do no less than to send postal for
free specimen copy, or for thirty cents
the paper will be sent month, enabling
ono to judge of its merits moro critically.
