NOTES FROM RINGoEs.


One case of diphtheria at Copper Hill.
was reported last week, bat the patient is
recovering, aud no new cases have ap-
Peared.
Mrs. katherine Kuhi, of Copper Hin,
has much improved in health since our
last writing.
The damp weather which we have ex-
perienced during the past week, has not
been at all favorable to the promotion o.
health.
Rev. David Wills, Jr., preached his
farewell sermon at the Kirkpatrick Me-
mortal Church, on Sunday morning, Feb
7th. In the evening of the same day,
Rev. David Wills, Sr., who is a retired
Chaplain of the U. s. Army, and who was
formerly stationed in California, occupied
the pulpit of that church. A largo at
tendance at both services was reported.
No services were held at the X. M.
Church, on last Sunday morning. In tho
evening Rev. Mr.. Hayes, who, in the
morning had preached at the Larison's
Corner Church, conducted services there.
The roads are in a very bad condition
for travel.
Mr.. Samuel Runyon. of Unionvile, lost
a valuable horse, short time ago.
Mr.. Timothy Giles and family, will, in
short time, remove to Trenton. Mr..
Giles has carried ON harness making here
for number of years, while during the
same length Of time, Mrs. Giles has ac-
commodated the ladies Of tho village
with millinery goods,
After Ap.1, John II Fisher, of Lambert
vile, will occupy the house belonging to
DR.. Rowland, and will carry on the har-
ness making business in the shop which
Mr. Giles now uses for that purpose.
On the FIRST of April, Mr.. William Sny-
der, expects to remove into the house
now owned by him, and occupied by Mr..
Randall Quick. Mr.. Quick will remove
into the house which Mr.. Snyder now &C.
cupies.
MIR. G.. w. Cherry, will, after the first
of April, occupy the house belonging to
Mrs. Ellen Schenck.
1t is fact worthy of note that the snow
falls, this Winter, have been heavier In
the region of Trenton, Princeton and
places still farther south, than at points
much farther north. In the northern
part of the county, about Quakertown,
Cherryvlle and the surrounding country,
the amount OF snow which has fallen this
winter, is much less than at Ringocs.
We have lately heard some complaints
respecting the post Office here. Many
ladies object to going for their mail to a
post office which is made lounging
place for those who are defective ia that
element which we call good manners and
who seem to have no other business than
staring at and commen ting, in an ungen-
tlemanly way, upon those who enter, as is
often the case here. Especially is this OBJ
jectionable when insulting or to say the
least, very unpleasant remarks are made
even before their subjects have left the
room. We have also heard some COM
plaints respecting the handling Of the
mails at this office. Itwould be advisable
for the postmaster to attend carefully to
these matters.
A prominent merchant of Wertsyille,
has gone to Florida, for the promotion of
his health, 1t is claimed. Lately it has
become very fashionable to visit Florida
on this account, and doubtless to some it
is very beneficial, aside from fashion.
But, it is the general opinion that this
gentleman would have found the climate
as conducive to health, and the society as
congenial, had be taken rooms on the top
Of Sourland Mountain, somewhere near
the residence of Sylvia Dubois.
