If each one would only get a single new subscriber, and send the two subscriptions it would help us amazâ€" ingly. A paper is much needed, but it cannot be kept up without that liberal countenance and support, which, if pro- perly conducted, it has fairly a right to expect. ‘ \Ve will try to give a good, re- liable paper. All we ask is a fair chance. Send on then the names and the cash. The effect will be magical. This is an age of push, an age of! activity, and consequently an age of change. “’0 see this exemplified and verified almost every day. Man seems to know no settled state. His motto is “ excelsior.” This ambition, if properly directed, is certainly a noble f. one. It is the cause of all those changes, physical, moral and political, which are yearly coming over our country to amc- “ lioratc, improve and elevate our condi- t tions. Where it is wanting, progress is d not known, and the unfortunate people v are far behind in all the essentials of na- t tional power and prosperity. This is not only true in its application to the 1 evolution of great principles, to the proâ€" :1 secution of vast designs, and the developâ€" 1 meat of schemes, reforms and undertak- t ings pregnant with interest, and results 1 to the aggregated world; but also in t those smaller concerns, measures and ( matters which affect but comparatively ‘ small localities and numbers. Every ‘ locality depends for much of that pros- i perity so eagerly wished and sought for, 1 upon the ambition of some enterprisinglt individual. It may be that his ambition tends to the building up of his own wealth, and to the advancement of objects , which may'be more or less selfish. That ‘ however, makes no difference in the re- sult. He cannot benefit himself matcri- I ally, without the community of which he is a member, participating in the benefit. In fact, many of our flourishingr towns and villages, owe their origin and present enviable position to causes of this char- acter. No man works so hard as when he has an interest in his work. It is a stimulus that calls forth and keeps in activity, all the energies of mind and body. Promising this, we think that our community might be in a much more prosperous condition if the right kind of , ambition could be found therein. An opâ€" portunity now presents itself of making , Richmond Hill a place of considerable importanceâ€"one which might certainly be made the means of much enhancing the price of property, and giving an im- petus to business operations before un- known in this vicinity. This opportunity ought to be embraced. Allow it to pass unimproved, unhceded, and there may be bitter cause to repent it when too late. It seems quite evident that a separation of the County of York, from the city of Toronto, must take place; how soon, de- pends upon the action of those interested therein. The thing cannot be done of itself, and talking, however loud and strong, will not do it. Nothing but ac- tionâ€"resolute, determined and persever- ing actionâ€"ear) bring it about. And if the separation is to take place, why not now as well as at any future time. Why allow the thing to remain in abeyanee for some indefinite period. “7e can see no good reason in so allowing it. On the contrary, it appears to us it will be most advantageous, most satisfactory in every point of view, to have the matter settled at once. Nothing like bringing things of this description to a focus. It will take long enough after it has been deter- mined upon, and preliminaries arranged, t) carry out the details. There is always a good deal of red tapeism in such mat- ters, _Who are the parties to initiate rim movement ‘?

A word to the lwise, &e., every body knows the old‘ aprovcrb. It will be‘scen by the proceedings of the County Council, in Toronto, that the County separation business has been disposed of for the present. A kind of quietus given it. \Vc say for the present, because it depends upon the people what action will be taken upon the matter, and when. \Ve believe that the report con tained in the proceedings of the Council, will not give satisfaction to the people of York. _It contradicts itself. It ‘first goes on to state that such grievances exist, that make it highly desirable to have another place instead of Toronto as ‘ the county town, and then, mirabile dicta, winds up with recommending that an ap- plication be made to the Legislature to amend the law so as to procursaremcdy, in some extent at least, for the grievance named. “To do not think that the peo- ple of Vaughan, or any other township, will thank Mr. Graham or Mr. Phillips for the manner in which they have managed the business. Evidently most of the city folk have been pulling the wool over their eyes, and the eyes of their fellow Councilmen. What remedy do they expect to get from Parliament? we would like to know. Why do not they name it? This general indefinite way of going to work and transac’ing business is the varicst humbug imagin- able. It is like a mountain in labor bringing forth a mouse. It means no- samc in a hundred years,” which, in our opinion, was delivered “with ,great spirit and: pathos throughout.

She had given unmistakable signs of her approaching dissolution for some days before, and appeared quite re- signed to her fate. A clergyman of the Roman Catholic body was present with her shortly before‘ she died. She was ex- tremely penitent, and requested those of the patients who were about to read and sing to her. Her resignation had all the marks of the utmost sincerity. But a short time before she died she had a oonversation with the stewart of the has italas to the death of the late Mr. J. . Hogan, which for so long a time remained a mystery, The blow which irendered him helpless was, 'she said,- struoh by J ano Ward with a stone which she carried in a pocket handkerchief.â€"-â€"- Brown did not strike him at all, but while he was still alive helped to throw him over the bridge. To his latest mo- ments, it will be remembered, Brown presisted in declaring his innocence, and many persons could hardly believe that he was guilty. There were present on ‘ the bridge at the timeâ€"besides Brown, Ward and MeGilloekâ€"-â€"Sherriek, Man. rice Malone and MeAntaminy. Sherriclc is now in the penitentiary serving a term for robbery; McAntaminy and Malone are deadâ€"so that of all the actors in the dreadful tragedy, Sherriok and Jane ~Ward alone survive. They were tried , together for the murder and acquitted.â€" iEllen MeGilloek declared that Malone :knew all about the murder, but had‘ no ‘hand in it. A young man name Han- noy, who died in the hospital, was sup. posed to have been on the bridge the 'night of the murder, but MeGillock def, clared he was not there. At the trial of the unfortunate woman, just deceased, said it was Brown who killed Mr. Hogan, but she said before she died that she “ swore false ” against him on that occasion, and that what she said now might be relied upon, as she knew she would be with her Maker in a few hours. The Court opened yesterday morning at ten o'clock, the Hon. S. 13.. Harrison presiding; Richard Machell, Esq. J.P., associate. M’KECHKIM‘. vs. MACHELL... . .. Thiswas an action brought by James. M’Keehrine against Richard Machell, as administrator of Alexander M’Kechrine, deceased, who was the uncle of the plain- tiff, and was for the recovery of $197, as wages for services rendered to Alexander McKechrine, in his lifetime, by the said plaintiff as his hired servant. Verdict for plaintiff, damages $100. During the day, the Grand Jury came into court with the following : The Queen 113. Henry Sambrook, larceny, true hill. ‘The Queen m. Ann Brady, larceny, true bill. In both of these cases the prison- ers were arraigned. Sambrook p‘leaded guilty to the charge of stealing a bufi'alo robe from the Rev. Mr. Hodge, and was sentenced to six months in gaol with hard labor. Ann Brady pleaded not guilty to the charge of stealing a piece of carpet from James \Vallace, of the township of York. She stated that she had no counsel to defend her, but that she was ready for her trial; that the carpet was found in her possession, but how she got it she was perfectly unable to say, as at the time she was under the influence of li- quor. She was tried and found guilty, with a recommendation to mercy. Sen- tenced by the Court to be imprisoned in the common gaol for three months with hard labor. THE QUEEN 'vs. MOSES WHITE AND JOHN GAULEY. The prisoners in this case were amigo ned and pleaded not guilty to the charge of having, on the 16th of January, 1865, in the township of Markham, feloniously stolen from one Robert Walker, a quan- tity of oats, to wit, eleven hags-f‘ulsâ€"ia There was also a count in the indictment charging them with having received the property knowing the same to have been stolen. The prisoners elected to sever in their trial. That of White was first proceeded with. A great deal of evi- dence was offered on behalf of the pro. secution, as well as for the defence. The most material, and in fact almost the only decisive piece of evidence against the prisoner, was given by one William Leak, the hired man of the prosecutor. He swore that the tracks in the snow from the barn whence the oats were taken were those of the prisoner; that he knew them from a peculiar twitch the prisoner had in his walk. He did not, however, state this either before the magistrate or on his examination before the Grand Jury. There was evidence for the de- lfence directly opposed to this, as well as evidence to shew that at the time the theft was committed, and for some time :before and after, the prisoner and Gau- lleyiwele. at another‘place altogether. _, .H,‘ A.â€" The Coungil then adjourned.
