IOIH‘H H LI. ...........9 33 A.‘ 55L: ......4 56 r,- Our County Treasurer and the Supplementary Grant.- Our readers will recollect that we an- nounced, with considerable satisfaction, that the Counties’ Council of York and Peel, at its June session. had generously ptosidt d for the County GrammarSchools, by making on additional grant of $i00 for each school in the County. for the current year,-â€"by this means placing our Gram- mar Schools in a healthy financial state.so as to enable them to be really useful. We are astonished to learnzllmt the Treasurer of the County has refused to pay the money upon the order of the Chairman of the Board until the end of the year, upon the ground that he wnnls to be certain that our Grammar School will continue to be free during the year. Now, we are not aware that there is anything in the resolu- tion of the Counties' Council to justify the County Treasurer, or any other officer of the Council, taking upon themselves to place obstruc'ions in the way, so as to neutralize the generous action of the ‘Council. The Trustees of the Richmond Hill County Giammar School voluntarily declared the School free to the whole County at the commencement ofthe year, and it was on that ground that the Peti» tion to the County Council for a nipple- mentary grant was hased,-â€"-we con- sider that the Treasurer, in witholding the money voted by the Council, is acting contrary to law;â€"hie duty is plain and simple, and that is to pay the money upon the order of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees ; if any Board of Trustees accept the supplementary grant, they are bound to open the School tree to all: and should they attempt to exact a fee, the party aggrieved Would soon bring them to their senses,-â€"but we feel quite cer- tain that there is no Board of Trustees would do l0--ll|et‘ef0rl: it is quite unneces- sary for the Treasurer to depart from his line of duty, simply to guard against such a contingency as he mentions. The fol- lowing is the resolution of the Counties' Council to which we refer :â€" “ Resolved, That the Treasurer hei and heis hereby authorized to pay to the Chairman of each Grammar School Trus- tee: in these countiu the sum of $l00 as a supplementary grant in aid of such school: I'm the present year, on condition Hut such achooln are made free to all pupil: resident In any of the municipalities of these counties. Carried." The Era 'ot Newmarlée’tflgdggjzg heading “ A Rich iNote,” gives some rather discordant sounds anent our re- marks respecting the Drill Shed, which it is expected will be erected at Richmond Ilill.as soon as Government has made or- rangements for their establishment in the various central Towns throughout the countryâ€"which will be ere long. \Ve have sometimes been inclined to think that our cotemporary is fond of a joke, and is not particular at whose expense he cracks one,â€"but there ii a tone in his facetiousness that ts harsh, and gives rise to the unpleasant Idea that he is inclined to he envious; he imagines that he renders a service to Newmarlret by depreciatingr Ierery other place in the County that has ipretensions to being a suitable locality either for the County Town, 3 Drill Shell or anything else that he would claim ex- clusively for his village. \Ve do not de- t sire to woundpur cotemporary's feelings, but must suggest to him to forego his practice ofsnttrling,r at his neighbors,-â€"â€"nor do we feet inclined to imitate the Em’r style by saying unkind things of Newmar- ket by way of retaliation, even though we have received provocation,â€"we pre- fer rather to make allowance for our co. 'temporary, knowing his weakness, but trust that our magnanimous forbearance will he appreciated, and that: little reflec- tion witt convmee him that his “ Rich ‘Note” is evxdence that he. is an indifierent judgegt music. The fact is, Our friend has never got over the shock his nerves sustained in the “ Registry” atfair; he has we hare thought, been out iof tune ever since that disappointmentâ€"to him, it was provoking, perhaps, but we, at Richmond Hill, are not to blame, and hope that he will endeavour to he more respectful in future. In nnothu: column will be found on inter- esting account of the presentation of a hand- some Electra-plated Water Jug to the Rev. Mr. Davidwu and his amiable wife, by the Teachers and Scholars of the Sunday Schools ofthe Township of Vaughan, within the Rev. gentleman's mission. Both the address and reply are very affecting, and go far to prove that the Rev. Mr. Davidson and his lady are much beloved by those amongst whom they have laboured in the service of God. We cOngrntulate our Reverend friend upon this happy, termination of his career of usefulness in the Township of Vaughan, and hope that in his new sphere he will meet with the! friendly reception of which we are certain be ‘ill prove hingeer downing. A Musical Genius (7) out of tune. REV. MR. DAVIDSON. Some unfortunate victim who has re- cently ristted the Falls at Niagara, writes to the Toronto Leader to make known to the public his experience; it appears he was anxious to see all the sights,‘ amongst the rest went down under the waler-fall,â€"â€"and considering himself rather good looking. he would have his photo- graph taken while in the oil-cloth cover- ing used for going under the sheet of water. It appears that the photographers in that region are not as scrupulously honest as our friend Hood ni’er-the-way, so that the Leader‘s correspondent and his three friends had to give eighteen dollars for what they considered two to be ample payment. They were also overcharged for going d0wn below the Falls to “ see the Elephant.” \Ve recommend our friends to be on their guard when they go to Niagara Falls, and avoid the numerous sharpers thereabouts,that will give them some most pressing and polite invntatations, and then fleece them,-and if tlteytfeel particularly‘aunous for their Photographs we would suggest that they try Hood be- fore they go on their trip.
