LETTER FROM RINGoEs.

RINGoEs, N. j., March I'd, 1885.
Spring time has begun and soon mud
will be abundant. Will that cause our
citizens to think more of the needs of a
new plank-walk?
After being closed for two Sabbaths
past, the Presbyterian Church will renew
their services next Sunday. The pastor,
Rev. David Wills, Jr., will occupy the
pulpit.
About Ga inches of snow fell during
Tuesday night last, which was the heavi-
est fall of the season.
A good time may be expected at the
entertainment in the Lecture Room,
Thursday and Friday evenings of next
week. All who attend may prepare for a
couple of hours of real solid amusement
and enjoyment.
Hans Adamson, native of Siam, who
has been in this country for about nine
years past, preparing himself to return
to his native country as missionary, de.
livers lectures on the habits, customs, &c.,
of Siam, this and tomorrow evenings, in
the Presbyterian Lecture Room. He
spoke at the village sabbath schools and
morning services at the Baptist Church
yesterday and lead the Presbyterian
prayer meeting last evening. He talks
our language exceptionally well and is an
intelligent, interesting speaker.
John Conoyer, Esq. we'll known and
highly respected by all in this community,
died at his home, near Copper Hill, last
(Sabbath) evening. He had not enjoyed
| very good health for some time past. Mr.
Presbyterian Church here. His funeral
takes place ut his late home-the resi-
dence of his brother David Conever, Esq,
Thursday morning of this week
Sleighing was excellent last week and
the weather was moderate enough to
make the pleasant pastime enjoyable. The
hot rays Of the sun affected the snow con.
siderably each day but failed to spoil the
fun until Saturday last. 1t is seldom that
good sleighing is accompanied with such
warm weather as that of last week.
Rev. Mr.. Gerald, pastor Of the Baptist
Church here, has been confined to his
house for two or more weeks past with a
severe cold, preventing him from occupy
ing his pulpit for the past two Sabbaths.
DR.. Geo. H. Larson, of Lambertville, fill
ed the pulpit yesterday morning.
The young people of the Presbyterian
Church here announce an entertainment
for Thursday and Friday evenings of next
week, to be held in the Lecture Room.
The program will include comic dialogues
tableaux, music, &c. The services of an
excellent futist and piano player have
been secured and cornet music will also
add its charms to tho entertainment,
which will be good in every particular
and fail not to please all who attend.

On motion adjourned.

Mr. EDITOR We have some people in
our village who take great pains to exag
gerate and defame their neighbors. Their
mouth costs them nothing and it is gen.
orally opened at the expense of others.
But the most injurious talk is that which
detracts from the character of another
especially that which openly or in disguise,
strikes at the reputation of lady. In
this vicinity within the past month a
would-be young lady has been circulating
the story that another young lady had
been dismissed from her situation as a
type writer in Trenton. Now as this
young lady is almost stranger in this
village, we deem it nothing moro than
right to say that we have seen certifi-
cate from her late employer which says
she gave the best of satisfaction and quit
his employ with her own free will and
accord. FAIR DEALING.

With the advent of spring, the little

Bucks couptian, Benjamin S. Rich, of
Buckingham, who in service of thirty
five years, as Justice of the Peace, in that
district, has only sent two cases to our
county court. The balance of his cases
he settled privately, thus saving expense
to the contendiDg parties.
1t may be of some interest to our
readers to know something concerning
the origin of the roller skate. It is stated
that 1t was invented about fifteen years
ago. A party named Winslow established
a rink at Martha's Vineyard, in 1876.
Boston then caught the craze, where
large and expensive rink was erected.
The venture was so successful that news
of its triumph, as means of amusement,
spread rapidly over the country, so that
at present, we can hardly find town of
5000 inhabitants, without this popular
resort.

green meadow on the brink of an oak forest
We dropped down 1000 feet and still

Wright then called to the rustics to come

The balloon was then towed along the
path through two cornfields without iniur-

open meadow. There was very little wind,
but fancy balloon ear tossed among for

tain its occupants. But the experiences o.
ascent are to me far more interesting and
certainly, in the case of high ascent, no
whit less dangerous. For the highest
ascents, or for very long journeys, a big
balloon is indispensable. --Longmans

That Dirty Dandruff..

Dandruff is dirty and disagreeable in
every way. 1t soils the clothing con-
tinually, and is accompanied by a hardly
less annoying sensation of itching. The
scalp is diseased. There is nothing in
the world so thoroughly adapted to this
trouble as Parker's Hair Balsam. 1t
cleanses and heals the scalp, stops the
falling hair and restores its original soft
ness, gloss aud color. Is not oily, highly
perfumed, an elegant dressing. Very
economical, as only small occasional ap
plication keeps the hair in perfect con-
dition. Feb IS, I'm.

MOTHERS LAMENTATION.
By JOHN C. BALL.

A mist will rise be fore my eyes
As oft try to pierce the skies,
And see in heavens home my joy,
My little eurly-headed boy.
Can forget his golden hair
His deep-blue eyes and cheeks SO fair,
His little hands and tiny feet,
And lips believed with kisses sweetP
The merry laugh, the boyish song,
The innocence OF right or wrong,
The food OF tears when ought displeased
The beaming smile when pain was eased
The tiny shoe, the little sock,
The ruffled waist the wooden frock?
All all these stir my memory,
But none can bring him back to me.

The use of Iodoform or Mercurials in
the treatment Of catarrh-whether in the
form of suppositories or ointments-- should
be avoided, as they are both injurious and
dangerous. Iodoform is easily detected
by its offensive odor. The only reliable
catarrh remedy on the market to-day is
Ely's Cream Balm, being free from all
poisonous drugs. 1t has cured thousands
of chronic and acute, whore all other re-

much account if man armed with a

work. The impression such "cheap and

easy to guess. If a stranger is judged by
