RICHMOND HILL, AUG. 18, 1865. A mind in season may be of service on this point. The time ' is fast approach- ing if not already here, when in answer to the various calls upon their purses, farmers will be teaming large quantities of prodnoelinto Toronto. We have good reason to believe that an attempt will bemade to make pay- ments In American silver at “ p313”; The swindle, for we can dall. itenothing else, attempted,ris,..we:hope, too trap; parent to escafié (Emotion.

' Last. year a, huge shave of the same kind was perpetrated. Large quantities of American silverrin most instances at “ par," wefe fiaidi out. for reduce: Higher prices than usual were lygiven, to cover «the trick?“ To such anmt'ent did thisabi'a'ctice obtain, that: the transactions of a few months flooded the money market with this inconveni- ent foreign nuisance. Our own money was forced out of circulation, and heavy losses, besides much trouble and conten- tion, occasioned in consequence. What the most just and equitable way of settling the question may be we have not at present space to discuss. In the mean-time we think that all those who are likely to have any dealings in our “ Uncles” currency, would do well to be guided alone by the rate of the Banks and Eichange'ofices, which is the only safe criterion, n6 matter what interested Boardsof Trade and companies of me:- chants may see fit to determine. By and by the buying season ended, and the selling season commenced. A new light instantly broke in upon our Toronto friends. I The very money they had paid out a few months before “ at par,” was suddenly found, to be worth only from 95 to 96 cents on the dollar. They demanded four per cent. discount, and they obtained it, making a clear pro- fit of so much by the cute transaction. In the meantime this money had found its way into nearly all classes of society, but especially among artisans and labor- ers, who had taken it as wages, “at par.” Thus the poorer iclasses were unscrupu- ously defrauded of their hard earnings by that class of dealers who have advo- catedi‘the ", par system” while they paid out, and the‘disoount system while they took in. ' All this, disreputable as it is, has paid too handsomely not to be again attempt- ed. Silver will be imported in “large amounts, cried up to par value, and paid out till the buying season is over. Then, as usual", when those who have it come to purchase, it will be refused,‘ except at a, heavy discount. ‘ Let those concerned combine to protect their own interests. American Money is not worth par value, and no regulations of' the Board of Trade can make it so. Such gratuitous legis- lation has something very suspicions about it. It is a purely commercial speculation, having a very vulgar, selfish motive; and cannot prevent the inevitâ€" able reaction, which is sure to bring the current rate-of the coin ‘down to the true standardâ€"its intrinsic value.

If we are rightly informed, there “was once 6-lVIech'anics‘aInstitute, or something very like it, in ftill operation in our vil- lage. The causes of its decline were in all probability merely temporary, and have ceased to exist. Why could it not be resuscitated, or organized on a new basis ? We are not anxious to force too many projects upon public attention. True, we have the “ Separation business” on hand, and are likely to have. But it demands ‘no extraordinary" social sacri- fice. We have all, more or less, a stake in it, and it has sufiicient intrinsic merit: to take care of ‘ itself, find at all events, who shall say that we cannot take' care of it and a MechanicS’ Institute together- “ Lives thine-n man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, That Richmond Hill'must-go-a-head.” We don’t beliere' there does, and if there is such an unfortunate individual he ought to be ashamed of himself. A glanceet the account of the reunion l held at Patterson, :(given in to day's issue,) will show how entertaining and instructive the operation of i an “ Insti- tute” would be among ‘us. We need something to break the dull monotony of our insular existence; and what more elevating, useful and likely to be gener- ally popular than such reunions as we ‘have alluded to. ‘ Nor do these constitute lthe whole business of suchIan institution.

We com- mend the project to the attention of hour readers, in the hope that a move will at once be “made towards its successful real- ization. A Re-union was held at Patterson on Friday, the 11th inst., under the able management Messrs. Conger, Godfrey, Savage and others, in the large and com- modious finishing shop of Patterson & Bro, kindly furnished for the occasion by these gentlemen. The room, which is about 1,50 1: 40 feet, was well filled with iié'pcctators, there being from 300 to 350lpersons present. The arâ€" rangement-s for the occason were superior to anything-:‘of the kind that we have seen in this part of the country. The room W793 beagtifully decorated, “and the platform so frranged that every person in the room could get a clear view of the performers, We noticed that Mr. P. Patterson took a lively interest in the proceedings, and to the utmost of his power, to his credit be it said, provided for the eOmfort and convenience of their numerous guests. The entertainment was opened'ut eight o’clock, by the choir, Miss Haven presiding at the melodeon. Mr. P. Savage then recited Tennison’s beautiful poem, “ The Charge of the Six Hundred,” in a clear and distinct manner, highly creditable to the declaim er; after which a Tableau, entitled “ The Little Peacemakers,” was given with great effect; immediately followed by Miss Kate Strong, who sang “ Com- ing thro’ the Rye,” with guitar accom- paniment; she was loudly applauded. Master Savage recited “The dutiful Son”; followed by a Tableau entitled A Meohanics’ Institute. Re-uniou at Patterson, Moore,” foll‘gwed _by a T_ableau entitled “Christmas Et'e and Morn.” The choir then sang “Pull all Together.” We hope the choir will excuse us, but were they to ‘pull all together’, they would make better music. Masters Strong, Savage, Ploughman, Savage and Houston then sang a parody on Gilead": Band, entitled “‘ Pattersqn’s Band," which .was received {with roans’of applause. The following is the new parody: PATTERSON’S BAND.

Miss Kate Strong then gave a recitation ; Tableau entitled ‘ Red, White and Blue,’ accompanied by the song of the ‘ Red, White and Blue.’ Mr. J. Godfrey reg cited ‘ Bingen on the Rhine’ ;- Misses Vellie sang ‘ Just before‘, the Battle Mother.’ While this piece was ‘being‘ sung the curtains ‘rose, displaying to view the beautiful Tableau of a dead soldier with the mother and children weeping over his remains.’ Miss. Reid, of Thornhill, then sang ‘ Just after the battle.’ For an amateur, this lady’s singing far surpasses anything we have heard for some time. Mrs. Wylie reciâ€" ted ‘ The Drummer Boy,’ with precision and effect. Miss Reid kindly favored 1the company with another select piece,- which was received with roars of ap-' l plause ; immediately following was a Tableau/entitled ".

Order . having been called, the choir opened the second part of the programme by singing a piece entitled ‘ Breaking Waves’ ; after which a Tableau, entitled ‘ Family Wor- ship,’ a'ccompanied with music, .‘ My Mother’s 'Bible’ was given With great spirit. Mr. H. P. Conger recited ‘ The Maniac.’ This recitation was delivered as well, if not better, than we have ever had the pleasure of hearing it before. Mr. A.

TORONTO CORRESPONDENCE; (From ‘onrrzo‘wn' Correspondent.) In the last letter of your correspon- dent he stated that. “ persons of Ameri- ‘ can birth, rmident‘ in Canada ” were among those ‘who, arosdesirons of / seeing Canada annexed to the} dominions of ; Uncle Sam. Inlmaking this statement, he was particularly desirous of drawing the attention of the people of this coun- :try, to the true state of this :Andexation movement, and of inducing them to be on their guard against the machinations of evil disposed'persons. ‘Knowing the loyalty of the native population, and the unswerving fidelity of all Who were born in England, Ireland and Scotland: with the "exception of the Hibernian or Feenian element,..t0 the dear old flag, it is only necessary for us to consider the means by which the Annexationists hope toydraw us. into the so- polled American Union.

Seward has a longing eye on Canada, and that during the Trent excitement, whenEngâ€" . land nobly defended the honor of her lflag, Americans who chanced to be draftâ€" ed sheltered 'th‘emselves under the base plea that they were foreigners, and bear in mind that thosetpeople are foreigners to-day desirous of taking us from under the mild‘ rule of a good and virtuous Queen, and of annexing us to a country groaning under an immense debt, where demagoguism is rampant and statesman- ship dead. ' The Semiâ€"annual Report of the Upper Canada Institution for the instruction of the Deaf and Dumb and of the Blind, has been issued from the press, by Mr. J. B. McGann. This highly important In- stitution was originally opened in Tor- onto,'in June ’58, through the exertions of the present Princphl, and was removed to Hamilton in 1864. The Institution has had a rather chequered ‘ career in consequence of the bungling of the, old Board of. Managers, who placed a. Dr. Morris «in “a " wanion'wmch "he shuix’ld nevbr‘have oooupied.~ Mr. McGann with. drewfffrom the old school for a time and conducted ‘an independent one, on his own; account; his management was so suc- cessful that.- the old school soon passed: into his hands again. The “stage”- nuniher of pupils on the roll difri'nfthe" pastfhalf-year» is 57, six of whom have left, leavingiat present 51 in attendance.» There are 301 Deaf Mutes in Upper Canada; and-275'blind; of this nuinher only ,51-v'a1re under irregruotion in the In- stitute. fThe' Con ti sofiYork anii Pé'el 1 ha‘v‘é‘ao Mutes,'andÂ¥"2li Blind 9 ofwhoin' are under instruction. The Institution is Supported by grants from the County Councils and by private contributions.â€" The total receipts for“ the half year (in- eluding a balance of $75 from the last report) is [$2,621 '58, of which the County of York contributes over $5000, or about one-fifth. The average cost of * each pupil is $140. Mr. McGann has added to his report a -valuable appendix, shewing the evil effects arismg from in- termarriages among persons whovare - re- lated. Although this highly useful In- ‘ stitution is doing great service toan un- fortunate class of our fellow beings, I re- gret to find that the Government grant has been discontinued. I sincerely trust ‘ it is only temporary; as it certainly is'the ‘ duty of the Government to provide for the instruction of those unfortunates whom it has pleased the Great Archltect of the Universe to inflict. Ofieourse I do not consider it the duty of the Goâ€" , vernment to supersedethe private ohariâ€" l ties, but the double 'and in some cases thrible infliction of this class, is an excep- 'ness tion to the general rule. ' theix’. The Horticultural grounds,_ which were made over to the City some time ‘ ago, are still controlled I to a certain ex- ‘ tent by a class that have no‘sympathy with the general public. During the last week the Sabbath School children of Cooke's Presbyterian Church, were re- fused admission to the grounds, on the flimsy pretextzthat they would injure the trees and flowers. When these grounds were originally laid out, they were owned by an association of codfish ' aristocracy, who rejoice in being above the common people, and as ' is always the case with everything undertaken by that class, werea financial failure. And since the grounds were transferred to the City, that class has felt wonderfully hurt be- cause the common horde actually use them to a great extent. You would imagine that these people were the lineal desoendants of those who came over with William thetConqueror, but I can assure. you they cannot trace their pedigree back very far, 'without finding itvrepre- sented by a bar of soap, the tape mea- sure, or a blacksmiths’ tongs.

The Semi-Annual Meeting of the pro- prietors of the Northern Railway of Canada, was 'held in the Campapy’s Offices, Toronto, On Wednesday week. The gross receipts were $247,451 25, showing a decrease of $16,759 23, or 6:34 per cent., to which we must 'add? $12,968 08, being the amount of arrears paid by the Government for Postal Ser~ vices, mak1ng.'a total of $260,419 33 from all sources: The netvprofit is2$82,-.~ 641 71, which, after paying a dividend of three per cent. for the half-year, leeves a surplus of $6,243 92. The decrease is owing to the falling of in the timber trade ; yet it is pleasing to note the healthy state of the road. Toronto was like a deserted city on Monday last. The City Council having declared that day a‘public holiday, all who could find it convenient to do so, took themselves out of town. The Orangemen Went to St. Catherines-in the steamer Huron ; the St. George’s Society to the Mimico Grove; the Temperance people toOshawa, while others went to Hamilton, Niagara and Buffalo. The Silver Spray took ,a short excursion around the lake, for the convenience of those who could not spare the whole day. Harry Leslie performed in the Drill Shed to a small assembly, while the steam- ers Arrow, Argyle and Ripple, conveyed hundreds to the Island. It was indeed a holiday for big and little, young and 01d. General U. S. Grant paid us a short visit. We were also honored with the presence of Viée-Admiral Sir James Hope7 LC. 3., and Sir John Michell, Commander of the Forces in British 'Ndrth America.

At six o'clock in the morning saw, a beacon buoy, with a flag upon it, marked as follows : “ Great Eastern, number five.” ' The Great Eastern and the Terrible were then abont five miles south-east from the beacon buoy. The weather was quite foggy at the time. The FirstFmit then laid her topsails to the mast and hoisted her ensign.

Fmss m was Woons.â€"-â€"-For some days previous to Sunday last, destructive fires were raging in the woods for miles around. The heavy showers of rain on Sunda last, however, put an extinguisher upon t em in 'a great measure. 0n 'Thursda‘y of last week there was quite an exciting 't' e -in the neighbourhood of Mr. Abraham Ook’s in the Eastern part of this township. The fire owing to a very high wind. was fOrced from the woods into the open fields,. utterly destroying the fences, 'and sweeping with frightful rapidity towards the dwelling and out-houses 'on the farm of Mr. Cook. For a time the prospects were dangerous in the extreme. The neighbours, to the number of about fifty, turned out and fought malls fully against the devouring element; and we are informed that had the wind contin: ued in. the same course for a short time longer no power on earth could have saved the buildings and their contents {rem utter destruction. Pmivdentiaily, however, the wind suddenly shifted its course in an ap- .posite direction, and the flames were soon forced back again into the woods, where the fire continued to rage with great fury until quenched by timely rains. Mr. Cook's loss is chiefly in fences destroyed, but he should feel grateful that he has, not fared ,worseerundaa C’orm'cr. ,, .
